The addition of rules isn't the same as "taking away the freedoms of non-staff users from making unofficial contests" mind you, it's helping those who have no idea of how to run a contest actually understand how a true contest should be made, pre-coordinated. You don't see the CC starting without a...

I disagree on setting controls for unofficial contests and the idea that non-staff be banned from making contests just because of people having no idea how to run a contest and if they do but lack the marketing and organizational skills to pull it off. Its arbitration at its finest and disempowerin...

I definitely agree with setting guidelines for unofficial contests, and I'm all for using PixelPest's set of rules to do so. PixelPest's rules doesn't take into account of the scale of whatever contests requires x amount of judges and x amount of time to work then submit and what needs to be judged...

Converted one of levelengine's publically released graphics into SMBX. You can see the original on SMWC's graphics section.

Seeing that suggestions are made on who should be judges, while I get that they may be popular figures within the community, I would rather have two things: 1. That you explain why they should be judges other than their popularity but rather the merits of their abilities not only as artists but how ...

If you're creating a custom NPC I see no reason why you shouldn't be allowed a .txt file to change size, framespeed, etc. That already puts a lot of limits on what contestants can do. I see why you don't want Lua files but in my opinion .txt files should be allowed. Revision #1: Made minor modifica...

After seeing how two topics in the SMBX forum section were panned because of those guys lacking the necessary organizational skills, I found it to be disheartening that such an idea was being ruined by incompetence. So with Joey's permission to make a topic here... here is what I thought how a prope...

I had an idea for a graphics contest myself but my god, the rules and judging process is very unclear. Sorry man, but please try to be more clear with your rubric.

More of a graphical preview than a level preview.

Tileset/BG: Me

The Trash Can should stay as it is. Not that i'm fond of coddling which is clearly an act that stifles free speech because of its ties to political correctness but that's another matter... but it is where the bad levels end up because the designers made very apparent bad decisions that happens to be...

Now I need to fix a few errors with the slopes connecting to certain tiles...ugh...

Ill still allow you to keep the link up because its fair game for people to use as I released it publically.

Why don't you just post that in the GFX forums? Looks awesome. Don't have time to convert it to SMBX use and I may add more if ...

Finished devamping this background.

And PROX, I was referring to the contrast along with the brightness of your Ghost House tileset man.

I finally made some tilesets right here: http://i.imgur.com/NvIhAii.png Multiple themed SMB3 custom cave tilesets!

Why hasn't this thread been locked yet? This is exactly what i though it becomes. A thread where people argument over two mario games in a mario forum. FYI before you start saying "Oh you must be a fanboy" I play both smbx and mario maker. But here are my opinions about mario maker. I don't care th...
