Saving a blank level file as the level I worked a week on.

^ I did this once. I got angry and deleted the whole project.

^^ I've done this with a world map I spent two weeks on. World maps are hard enough as it is to make, so I rage-quit.

Forgetting to save one of my levels.

Making it too ambitious. Even from the beginning, I knew I'd never be able to accomplish everything I had planned; it just took me a few years to finally come to terms with that.

I guess that was partly my fault since, even before I took over the project, I still tried to spin the plot to what I had envisioned. However, I think the bigger problem was that we were just throwing concepts back and forth without any actual levels to work with. As amazing as something may sound, we won't know if it's a good idea for sure until someone actually sits down and tries to make it.

But yeah, it was clear that all TangledLion had were concepts without any real focus or direction.

P.S. You say you "were" a part of the project, but you still say that you "are" part of it in your signature (you even still have the old support banner there).

Fail with the fill.
Designing the world map first. (for my first shitty projects)
Planning out too much levels. (for my mediocre first PUBLIC project, Peach's Cursed Palace)

For my current project, SMB6IE, I planned out just the world themes and Squishy won't start world map designing (bc he's the designer) until I don't send the plans to him.

Used the fill tool on accident when making my CC9 level. Caused me to lose a small chunk of the level, so I had to rebuild it.

Here's a tip for newbies: Never use the fill tool unless tiles enclose the area you're wanting to fill. There is no undo button on SMBX, so if you mess up by using the fill tool wrong, you're going to have to go back to the point which you last saved the level.

Making a thread about it. Because it has more views than posts. (facethetruth)

this ties in with mine: keeping it on a flash drive and taking that flash drive with you to school

That's always true for any thread, though.
