Idea

I could do 45min if this were to become a thing, but I've made half-decent levels in 30min before.

But that is only YOU, just because you can do it doesn't mean everyone else can.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it doesn't have to be a full-blown, out-of-proportions 10/10 CGFX-packed level like most of us expect. It can be a small, 4-screen level with a few recolors and whatnot, but it just doesn't have to be a totally amazing level.

You guys fail to realize that the fun is in the time limit. That's the whole point of the contest.

The main thing wrong with this is time zones and how not everyone who'd be willing to join may be able to participate.

1. Make one save a blank level file when they want
2. The additional "real" level file cannot surpass 30 minutes (give a few to be nice) past the first file's save date.
3. Make people submit both levels

Squishy Rex from Australia

a little off topic from the topic but...

IM NOT ALONE IN AUSTRALIA WOOT

But there is the problem: There is level makers from various parts of world. You from USA, Squishy Rex from Australia, me from Brazil and then bossedit8 from Germany.

krazykat doesn't live in the USA. He lives in the Philippines.

But yeah, that's the main problem with this idea, plus the fact that for me it takes awfully longer than 1 hour to make a decent level. A lot of people are usually engineered towards nonlinearity and CGFX, in which when done and perfected, eat away half the time that should have been used for designing the level. A better idea than this is to actually restrict users to using only certain graphics in their levels, and they must be used properly and in the context of the level, rather than just a GFX showcase of them.

Hang on, I'm not mixing you up with FNC. According to a load of info I heard from FNC and other sources, I thought that you were FNC's brother. Is that not true?

[zioy]

No, that's just in his comic. We aren't IRL brothers
