Alright people, time to make some unofficial official levels

The goal of this thread is to create 21 brand new, official-like levels, and to publish them so that the regular players of FC will have new creativity-inspiring levels to play.

This is how it's gonna work:

  • There's gonna be a group of people who vote on levels, as well as other stuff which will be mentioned.
  • These people must: Be good at FC, know what sets official levels apart from noob levels, and have good taste. :D
  • Now, ANYONE may submit a level to me via PM. This level should NOT be prettied up, and should only contain the core level concepts/structures.
  • I will post the level on this page to be voted upon by the people in the group, where it will move onto the second stage by a 2/3 vote in favor
  • If it passes the 2/3 vote, then each person in the group may create a "prettied-up" version of that level. If it does not pass within 2 days, it will be removed.
  • Once all the pretty versions are collected, each person in the group may vote for their favorite, with the exception that they may not vote for their own.
  • The highest rated of these will be published by the original creator of the level (not the one who prettied it up), with the level description "Art by [personWhoDidTheArt]".
  • After this, EVERYONE in the group must vote this level up, EVEN if you originally voted against the level. Majority rules.


________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Rules for Level Submission
  • Levels must be original and creative, and have thought-provoking concepts.
  • Levels must not include any FCML artifacts (pinned goal pieces, ghost rods, and design wheels).
  • Levels must be appropriately challenging (Not too easy, not too hard).
  • There will be a strict limit of 21 levels, so sub-par levels will be rejected.

Update: Level #1 has received 3 votes "no", and thus cannot win. I will be setting up a new poll for the second level!

I'm following the syntax that ken used for the level description

Level Name: "whatever you want"
Description: "FC Forge. Art by *******" // Note "FC Forge." with a period and correct capatilization. and Art is capitalized. It'll drive me insane if it isn't this way

Ken already messed the capitalization up :P

(Although technically YOU did, since he posted his level first)

RRRRRAAGGGGGGEEEEEEE
he didn't capitalize Zhyrek.. I'll re-do it -_-

so for future notice, the name must be reproduced EXACTLY from their forum title.

Okay updated syntax is:
"FC forge. Art by --------." Don't forget both periods and the capatilizations

no, don't redo it. Leave it the way it was.

There is no possible way that all 21 levels will be named perfectly. Better to have around half of each, then just one that is out of place

It's an interesting level mechanism, after testing it. When you push all the balls, you can get it so the third one doesn't fall out. then only need to put the first one back in :D
