I mean, once you submit it it's like making a top notch animated film only to release an ugly crayon drawing with cringe worthy writing the next year.

To define, it feels like a waste of space since the 90% focuses on more comedy relieves than the actual purpose of level design itself.
But to result in this contest being mixed with what I've heard, I can bet there's gonna be a whole lot to play in the future.

I actually don't mind the joke levels that much. Some of the others, though...;-;
Don't worry though, there have been some levels in here that I really liked.

Now I wonder which should I be curious about: the amount of joke levels or the levels that seems to displease the judges to the point where they end up posting an disappointed post.

Besides that, thanks for telling us that there were some levels you liked turtwig JupiHornet

Enjjl do you have a cool thrilling level idea for me?

You had the entirety of April to make a level and submit it. It's too late to anything now.
I'm pretty sure h wont give ideas, like the times I always bugged him to see the CRAZY AMOUNT of lunalua that was on the Hypnosis episode.

1) rude
2) I gave some input on codehaus, encouraging to pick some features of the engine and experiment with them. It's always fun seeing people create something new with the features everyone sees all the time.
3) Like Spinda says, nothing stops you from looking at the code. However, you wanted me to explain how everything works to you. Since your knowledge about lunalua is somewhat lackluster I would consider that a waste of time, since most techniques and methods are things you would struggle to understand. I am willing to give you an overview over the code once you're more experienced, but I don't want to waste both of our times explaining these things over and over, hoping that some of it would stick.

Yeah, I agree with 3).

So, will the authors of the levels be reavealed after the first round of this contest or will the top 10 stay anonymus even when they're adjusting their levels for round 2?

former

Oh, another important question: Will we get to play the levels that are not in the top 10 after the first phase, or will we have to wait for the compilation episode after the 2nd phase?

We'll have to wait for an episode to play all levels, just like in other official contests.

Depends on whether or not people release them before we release the episode.

No matter what contest you do whether it be CC or a active member user like TTK or KoE There's still going to be lazily done joke levels with no real effort put in just waste the time for judges really, Though I am curious sometimes even the joke levels can sometimes be uh, "Intresting"

Around how far would each of the judges say they are into judging?

I mean... seeing how this contest was hosted at a time like this... I have a feeling that not all of the judges will be able to simply finish judging all of the levels in about a week (but that depends on how busy they are).

I'll be done sometime next week. Got something to take care of beforehand.

A long way to go after the judging phase ends.

Yeah, I might be a while because I've got exams to study for. I've only got, like, two, but still, it's the same as having to study for like 10 like I had to three years ago...

You could've stopped after the first sentence. You're not special for suffering. Also 2 =/= 10.
