Contest Theme Suggestions

[Harmless]

I think Oranjuice has been playing Banjo Kazooie lately, somehow that reminds me of Click Clock Wood.

but yeah that sounds like a good idea

Contest Theme "No Trigger"

[Supershroom]

Well, "No trigger" is a bit too much restriction. Classic, simple triggers like Touch-and-go for platforms, instructive signs and changing music should stay allowed, while advanced triggers like branching, weather effects, battle rooms (Dimension 10) and any kind of puzzle-supporting triggers should be disallowed. That would be a contest for levels where you really focus on pure platformer action and good graphics.

[Niicola]

In that case, let's make a "Pure Platformer" Contest where you can still use a lot of complex triggers if you want, as long as it does not affect negatively your level.

The 16th SM63 LDC was music-themed, in the sense that you had to pick a song outside of any games. This should be cool for LL as well.

[Oranjui]

Recycling some of the old SM63 LDC themes might be cool. Like the Science theme, or Music, or Death, or even something Mario-related might be fun just for the hell of it, even though LL isn't related to Mario.

Also, I was not, in fact, playing Banjo Kazooie when I posted that :p
