Pocket Worlds: World Contest

drummer · 2016-01-02 14:13:15

INTRODUCTION

So I'm working on a 300*300 world divided into 12 by 12 squares of 25 by 25 blocks (including the edges, so exactly like a small saved world).

I doubt I'm ever going to be able to make 143 small worlds with a unique theme all by myself, so I decided to make it a sort of contest.

Everyone can send in 1 to 5 of their own small saved worlds to become part of the Pocket Worlds "realm".
Once there are enough worlds I'll open another thread where you can vote other's worlds to the first spot.

You will win the level by gaining 99/143 yellow coins and can get the hologram smiley through getting 99/99 blue coins.
Where I decide to keep the blue coins and where not I shall take fully on myself once the 143 winners have been chosen.

For now I built 3 examples myself and 2B55B5G and siggihar each made one as well.
I did slightly adjust 2B55B5G's level though.

WHEN DOES THE CONTEST CLOSE?

For the moment there's no date set, but as soon as I reach enough submissions and the new update* rolls out, I'll announce a date for when the contest will close.

* The one where you'll have to buy every single block just once and then have infinite of them, including portals, signs**, switches, etc.
** I only have 4 signs atm <.<

WORLD RULES & GUIDELINES

Items in gray are optional.

Has to be a small saved world (25 *25)
Pre-existing worlds allowed if they follow the requirements
Only use the border for blocks (like a normal small world)
Has to be in a theme (that can be a certain colour scheme or type of gameplay as well, even art or music)
1 spawn-point indicating where people start
A trophy indicating where people have to go
A sign that states the creator and optionally the name of the level
No coin-doors
1 yellow coin
1 blue coin
Optional checkpoint at spawn (though recommended if players can die)
No checkpoints beside spawn
Don't use the world background unless you use pure black
(background blocks are 100% allowed, just not the background in the world options menu)
Try to keep keys and portals to a minimum and realize others may have used them as well
Reset all used effects and switches before being able to leave (that includes dying)
No action blocks that give the player a smiley (hologram, cake, diamond, ...)
Optional "I give up"-portal for when players give up on your level or have already played it
Preferably no pure black blocks on the edges
You can ask to make the border be replaced by a fancier block (for example Arctic blocks)
Keep a back-up block in mind though in case your world ends up on one of the edges or corners
If you use portals, please explain their ID's and Target ID's.

HOW TO SUBMIT

You can submit up to 5 worlds

Required information:

World screenshot and/or world link

Optional information:

Level name (players will be free to suggest names, but you'll have the final call on the name)
Level creator(s) (defaults to you if not included)
Minimap screenshot

For example:

World link: http://everybodyedits.com/games/PWABRzSzOba0I
Level Name: Pipeworks
Creator: drummer

Do note however that this particular world does not qualify.

REWARDS

Currently the rewards are planned to be the following:

Inclusion of your winning map(s) in the level
Mention of your name on the sign in each of your maps in the level
God mode if I notice you in the level (I might make a bot for this)
The fun of building something with a purpose.

I'm sorry, but I have no gems I can give away, but:

SUBMITTED WORLDS

the worlds are listed as follows:
<submission id>. <creator> - [<level name>] <world and/or image link> [(name suggested by <user>[: <suggested name>]]
the square brackets [] indicate that that part will be left out if not applicable.

The list will be sorted by time of submission.
If your world is colored yellow, that means that last time I checked, it needed some work.
If your world is colored green, that means that the world seems to follow the guidelines but that I'd like some explanation on something.

The example Pocket Worlds will be recreated in their own small worlds and become a submission as well. (Once I get enough time that is...)

This first led to a "page not found"-error so I removed the "jawapa." from the url and entered a completely empty world.
As it is right now I cannot accept this submission.
The contest has only opened today so you still have plenty of time. Feel free to post again once you're done.

EDIT:
added rewards to OP

Might be a bit too difficult for your world but I thought I give it a shot.

Also I might add some other worlds in this reply if I can find the motivation to do more.

Freckleface · 2016-01-03 05:24:36

There ya go! Hopefully it isnt too hard o.o put a portal where the cyan beta is, there was no space for it anywhere else ;-;

Difficulty doesn't matter to me (it may matter for the voters though)
Though I might suggesting an extra portal to give up then.
As for the world: looks nice, going on the list
And if you make another world: unless I haven't posted after your post, it's easier for me if you just make a new post.

I'm sorry but I should've stated in the rules that you can't use the border for anything besides blocks.
Can't you put the portal 1 block above the checkpoint and then change the wall accordingly?
Or does that make the level impossible?
If it doesn't work, what about changing the arrows up a bit, moving the team resetter one to the right, the checkpoint 1 lower and then the portal where the checkpoint was?
Another option is to use some unused space, place the spawn there and the checkpoint and optionally the team resetter under it and then a portal to where it really starts? (kinda like shlygly did)

Also, I have no idea where I have to go to finish the level. where does the level end? Could you put a trophy there (or a crown if you haven't bought the trophy yet)?

And as I told SirGrapefruit: difficulty doesn't matter, though it may matter for the voters.

long story short: I'll add it to the list but mark it as needing some work.

Interesting use of the one-way blocks
Adding to the list

EDIT: done

drummer · 2016-01-07 23:10:34

Important update: Screenshots shall from now on be allowed instead of a world link as well, allowing to be able to use the world for other stuff.
If you've sent a link, please either keep the level or take a screenshot and send that instead.

I'll be updating this in the OP asap as well.

Edit: OP changed

(sorry for double post but I believe this is important enough of an update for double posting)

Freckleface · 2016-01-08 02:55:25

Updated my level. Now just place portal on the spawn point and exit portal on trophy

They look pretty good imo, but could you add a trophy (or crown if you don't have trophy) so there is an end to the level?
Oh and could you explain how the 2 invisible portals work in the second level please?

I added them to the list but tagged them as needing some work.

Where coin is.
Oh, and doing brief edits.

I kinda meant what the id and target id in both portals are.
As for the end of both levels I need a block that will function as exit portal. Preferably a trophy or else crown to indicate where the exit portal will come.
And no you can't use the coins for that because those are required (see rules in original post).
