Ah! I'm pretty worried i won't get my level done in time. I don't want to rush it but time has gone so fast!
I really need to pick up the pace.

FIVE DAYS???

My chances of actually getting my level done are pretty slim now....

If it comes down to it and you're running out of time, consider adjusting your plan a little and shortening your level. Find an effective way to end it so even if it is shorter than you would've liked, at least you have something instead of nothing. But keep working! Five days is a lot more time than it may seem

Thanks.
I was originally going to have 4 challenge rooms based on the central gimmick (it was going to be non-linear), but i guess i'll have to cut down a bit. I think i'll just make one good challenge.

Do not say this ever. You WILL try, and if you don't you won't know if you could've done it.

Also pixelpest literally threw some advice up there and it's clear you're not even bothering to try to finish it.

You lose nothing by trying, you lose the possibility of getting some good criticism if you don't.

I'd like to highlight this as it's very well-put. Finish something and submit anything as it's fun to do so and will benefit you in the future

Okay, we're near to the deadline, so it would be good to tell you guys something about me and the SCC, which it was my very first smbx contest. Before the results, I were pretty happy because I felt I would got a nice result. Well, when I saw my results (OK, now I know that it's criticism and I accept it because it can betterify what I make), but that day I felt really really disappointed. I thought my level design skills were already good, but from that day I realised that I still had a lot of things to learn. So here we are today, with a new contest, my opportunity to know if something is really changed. I don't know what will be my new result, but I hope it will be even the minumum better than the SCC. If it will be true, well, I'll be happy. If not, nevermind, I'll retry over and over till I'll make something good.

Yeah I know it was an annoying story lol I just wanted to tell it

I submitted my level and i personally think that the gameplay of my level sucks alot.
But the graphics are pretty nice to be honest.

We're now at four days left and 18 submissions. Keep them coming! You've still got lots of time but make sure you're starting to finish off and if you don't think you can get done what you wanted, change your plan so you can submit something

Yes, I'll do that. My first 2 attempts of thinking of something were good: I had the graphics, I had a gimmick, everything was fine, and then I thought NO, LET'S DO SOMETHING ELSE.
I tried another idea, took me 2 days to get the graphics done, and then: NO, THAT'S TOO COMPLEX, GIVE UP, THE DEADLINE'S WAY TOO CLOSE.

Finally, I tried to think of something simple (right now). It might work, but I'll have only one day to make the level

Could you use "Ludwig_von Koopa 2004",please?I think it is more different to so many other usernames with "Ludwig von Koopa" in it.
Also,will this contest be a hub-episode like the Tower of Biased-Series?

I think it will have the same flow as SMBX Contest Greatest Hits episode, where all levels are already unlocked, and to 100% it, you just have to beat all of them, and get the secret stars (if there's any).
