2017 level making jam planning
Hey folks, 2017 has just started and I thought it would be great year to host 48hr level making jam again. The real question is when and how long.
Currently In the essence that PQ gets released soon™ we could host this after it gets released so we could have even more tools and scenery at our disposal.
for reference here is last years event
Announcement and rules thread
All submissions
I'm planning to keep rules largely the same with theme being announced at start of jam. Last year 48 hours worked really well with some levels being finished as fast as one day and some being submitted only couple of minutes before end of the event.
Last year testing sessions kinda worked, my plan this year is to not have any specific time of hosting the maps but more like monitor when there's more players in LB's and host them at that point. People could simply submit their maps for testing in a thread or by PM and i would add them to map testing pool. Afterwards I could simply post all the feedback received in chat in same thread (If i recall correctly many bugs and annoyances where squashed from 3 submissions that where tested).
These are last years rules:
If you have any suggestions, ideas or anything else you would like to suggest to make this event even more fun than last year feel free to post below
I would also like to know what time is more free for everyone, should this happen in Easter time or at start of summer. Last year it happened during regular weekend and it seemed to work for most people. Would like to hear feedback about that as well.
