Who is making/has made Wcup5 levels??

For those who have made levs:

Do you know the best styles in your lev? Did you deliberately place shortcuts, and are you able to make them? Do you suspect there are faster styles that you just can't see?

Since my only lev so far is a pipe, i can't say there are any shortcuts or anything special, but i have got a slight advantage since i know the feel of the pipes already, no need to waste precious hours to learn how to avoid death in the early parts.

you can't really know the best style, can you?

in some levels i've made i have thought of styles, but then when ppl have played them they have found better styles. in my wcup levs though i dont have any special styles.

I was thinking about making a level, but then again I decided my levels aren't worthy. So you have been lucky this time.

I've made 2 levels. I don't know the fastest style at all in either of them. Didn't make any mongo shortcuts, and ofcourse there is faster styles than I see

Sent in my 2nd yesterday, and I didn't even bother designing a pipe lev cause Sierra's will be better anyway.

now that's just not true. i like your pipe levels, and it's not as if i'm some famous pipe designer.

"pipe designer" lolz, making a pipe level is like a walk in the park compared to making a quality normal level, no offence but I see no point of making one, coz Abula is the one that makes it(yes that magical word 'tradition').

I hope there is some coal unknown designers, that suprise us all and make better levels than anyone in teh scene.

Well it's not like it has never happened before that realitively unknown people have gotten their levels as a wcup level. Examples would be wcup305 by Matte, wcup309 by Ilkka, wcup401 by tps (who?). Also it might happen that a wcup level comes along from well-known people who aren't especially known for making levels, as wcup315 by karlis.

I have started to make but i sukk :(

sleap · Post by **sleap** » 17 May 2005, 17:05

i sent one in yesterday..

its just.. my major problem with level designing that i am not good enough at hÃ¶yling i guess.
some skint or zebra levels.. i just couldnt finish but they looked awesome in the rec.

so i have some kind of lack of tricky ideas to implement b/c i cant imagine if it was possible to go for it

insane guy · Post by **insane guy** » 17 May 2005, 17:59

1. chose from 2 main styles i guess, i know this sucks, but you are able to combine them... well i hope this lev won`t be chosen

2. like 5-10 styles, most of them suck, im pretty sure i know the fastest style without doing inhuman tricks, but you never know

3. like... hmmm... only 1 style, very hÃ¶ylable, 1 sucky shortcut, the best lev i`ve made for wcup

Wezz · Post by **Wezz** » 17 May 2005, 20:38

What, you hadn't!?!? heh

Dynamo · Post by **Dynamo** » 18 May 2005, 01:04

Heh maybe I'll make a nice lev...I don't think I'm too bad at making levs but I guess nobodys really seen ne of my levels

Wezz · Post by **Wezz** » 18 May 2005, 13:38

Put em in ur signature...

ead · Post by **ead** » 18 May 2005, 15:06

i've made one little -fun- hoyling level with fun bounceys

and im working on another original one...

it will be interesting

but after that i dont know if i should use this idea i have for a super long cool original level (

) level or a short one with fun style

twipley · Post by **twipley** » 18 May 2005, 15:22

short ones is not that we want, anymore

1 min / 1:30 completion with high graphics, I mean original esthetic, and so of the level, is the kind of levs that gonna be accepted most

Ramone · Post by **Ramone** » 18 May 2005, 16:17

why does levels need to look good?
once you like the playability the visuality really dont matter much, as long as the grass (if any) dont look too screwed up or too overworked...
Some level just make quick in across is really great fun in elma.. Yeah

twipley · Post by **twipley** » 18 May 2005, 16:35

if you look back in wc4, most of the levels are, so insane guy level, was so damn cool

But I agree it doesn't need pics, me myself I don't in my levs, but at least some good looking esthetic (by vertexes, grass, whatever). and original playability, like in wc501. but again ur the expert

kinghias · Post by **kinghias** » 18 May 2005, 18:33

i neither give a shit about grass or pics, i turned to "low details" about half a year after i started playing so i don't even recognize if a lev has a great outlook

Juble · Post by **Juble** » 20 May 2005, 07:14

The way a level looks is like a signature for a level designers, and I love to see how people can make good graphics in levels.
But you always follow the level designing rules that psy wrote, it might be old, but its the way to sucess in level making ;)

twipley · Post by **twipley** » 20 May 2005, 17:51

psy rules

Pertti · Post by **Pertti** » 20 May 2005, 19:02

Well, grass and pictures are always nice, but if the level desing suck, it doesnt help. Grass is nice especially in cruising levels.

Costya · Post by **Costya** » 20 May 2005, 20:49

Dynamo · Post by **Dynamo** » 26 May 2005, 12:59

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 10 Jul 2005, 04:11
