Level Design Contest #30 - Playing Phase (Discussion Topic)

This could be it!

This could be it!

And, that's where you are correct! That is indeed now 100% intended. Great job!

Spoiler

Here, I was inspired by your "Retspen's tomb" level!

Noticed that as well. I think I just spoke a bit softer, but I also added an extra 2db of gain in OBS to counter that.

Ah, good to know. Thanks. Easily fixable

Thanks to everyone who's played my levels!

Everyone's got the intended solution for Misaligned (I mean there really aren't many options), and it was interesting to read your (different) opinions. It's meant to be a minimalistic level, and will probably appear as part of an ensemble of other levels that similarly focus on one single idea.

For Cycle Decomposition, everyone's got a different solution.
Armani's solution is slightly different from mine, but very much in the spirit of my idea for this level.
Icho's solution cuts out one main idea, but is at least still somewhat in the spirit of the level (I'd like to fix that though).
Kaywhyn's solution is, as you already suspected, an egregious backroute that needs to be fixed.

I want to fix the level at some point, but unfortunately, I'll be on the road for the next two months (and haven't had the time to fix it until now). So the update will probably only come once the contest is over

my Rule 3 level uses dullstars l2_classic style uploaded here (which lowers the exit by a pixel which doesn't happen in the regular l2_classic)

This is why it appears 1 pixel too high in Kaywhyn's and Icho's video replay of my rule 3 level)

Announcement: The update phase is now closed. So, this means the contest collection pack will no longer be updated to include any further updates to levels that might get posted in the update topic from this point on. Yes, I know this is a bit unusual, since the update phase would had normally closed on the 28th of July (last week), but that is because the playing phase for LDC #30 got delayed by a week due to Icho being busy setting up the voting for LOTY2023 at the start of June.

So, while the update phase is closed, there's still another 3 days before the end of the playing phase, which will close on the 8th of August, this Thursday. Then Icho will likely set up the voting over the weekend, perhaps after getting one final video showing updated solutions to any levels that were backroutes from a week ago, if I know him by now

I know this isn't quite the intended solution, but I thought I should re-solve "Mr Lemmy Does Not Live Here Anymore" - it's based on my earlier solves, at least I think it is.

It isn't quite intended, but it saves the same amount of lems, uses all the skills and so I am willing to let it slide.

[Crane]

That's kind of you!  I'm sorry I left it so late.  It was only because I realised my replays don't work any more in V3 due to some scenery changes, but I recall that you said they were acceptable.

[IchoTolot]

Will probably make the voting topic this weekend, so stay tuned!
