Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

OH god no, Not any of these. Oh my god have you any of them played them!?
Our mini games might be a tad confusing, but it's better than box minis. Plus I think we nailed the art. It wasn't supposed to be about realism

The minigames weren't really even fun at all though. Plus coins were hard to find, and you can get trapped in two spots.
Although I give you props on the concept.
What? Trapped? Please PM me pics. I will fix

Not to be the Debbie Downer of the conversation, but I really don't like most of them.
It's all the same, a million minigames with great art. I really want something new, you know? I suppose EX's level would qualify as 'new', but it's not even in the competition.
Who will win? Well, I'd say DK's level, MG's level, Megalamb's level and... I guess Sleepy's level. DK's was my favorite, and Sleepy's level was my second favorite. MG's and Megalamb's level were pretty good too, but they all lacked the originality factor I crave.

I actually agree with TMO2. I mean the competition is decent, but with all the new updates I'd like to see something other than mural levels now. As far as I know Ravatrolls the only one who seems to make good adventure maps. He can perfectly combine in game, and mini game art. But I wish more people would at least try some in game art, I mean sure the minimap can look pristine, but if you worry too much about the art you'll find yourself making box minis

Well, a lot of people look at it as "Minimap, look pretty. Minigames, be fun" and that's how they build. RT makes the minimap look pretty, but in a way where you can tell there are minigames sprinkled everywhere.
With the new background blocks, the minigames can and should be harder to spot on the minimap and still keep the on-screen realism instead of drowning players in decorations like Alcatraz and that circus level.
On another note, I was indeed impressed with Jaybm's level. I really got the feel I was in an abandoned castle, and the minimap art didn't take a single hit from it like RT's maps usually would. A perfect example of what I was talking about: on-screen realism as well as minimap realism, with okay minigames.

I think what your trying to say is that the art should have some relevance to the mini games (i.e. The ice should be hard to land on or climb up.), correct?
I completely agree on what your saying. It's one thing to make art. But taking it to the next level is by making the art meaningful to the minis.
What I was saying is to find a medium between on-screen realism and minimap realism. The specific minigames you use are a different subject, but they too should fit the mood, like slippery ice or a "current" of gravity down a river.
But even if you do have the 4 qualities discussed (great minimap, great minigames, on-screen realism and minigame realism), what makes it different from all the other 68 000 maps?

It'll be a while before we see a truly new form of a level that blows you off your feet, like the EE Animator and EX's Shift did to the community.

I just feel kind of sad that no one mentions the Bro Co. at all.

He means when you have a ton of decorations lying about that you have to play through.. Like in Rocky Horror, with all the spider webs and stuff.

#19. Team GD's Halloween Castle GD
Made by people I can almost guarantee you've never heard of but also one of the best levels with a very nice blend of minimap and in-game art, something that's extremely difficult to pull off. I haven't played through the whole level yet, but the part I did play through was very good.
OMG thats my level
ah I was looking for that
I couldn't remember the name though.
Slightly changed list:
1st - M.M.B.A (amazing fun level)
1st - Cry kid cry (self promotion ftw)
1st - Cod-stormers (best level I think)
1st - Carvers of victory (It was a toss up with scar, but I like this better)
_______________________________________________________________
2nd - Scar (pretty freaking epic)
2nd - Team GD's (amazing level, if it had better minis it could get 1st)
2nd - Mirage of colton (epic art, somewhat ok minis)
2nd - Unclear cause thingy (sense when did parody maps look so good?)
_______________________________________________________________
3rd - MGcrew (haha no.)
3rd - MXcrew (haha yeah.)
3rd - KLEcrew (nice art/minis.)
3rd - KOcrew (amazingly stunning art... work on the minis...)
_______________________________________________________________
Okay there we go, and I put something in parenthesis on each one(may be helpful, most likely not.)
I mentioned the bro co
LIAR.
Mirage of Colton wasnt even entered in the level first of all.... and 4 other ones are misplaced imo.

Why you guys only look at the minimap art? The minigames are much more important than the minimap!
I don't wanna pick all the 12 winners, but I think that these three levels will surely take a place:
1. The Mighty Morphin Block Arrangers - Art: 9/10, Minigames: 9/10
2. SCAR - Art: 9.5/10, Minigames: 6/10
3. Carvers of Victory - Art: 7/10, Minigames: 7/10
