All Levels categories
1 year ago

The "All Levels" categories are about beating the first 17 levels, altough there are 2 new maps (Rollercoaster and Metro), and it would be cool if there would be subcategories like: All Levels -> 17 levels, 18 levels, 19 levels

I think we could add a third category so the categories would be:

  • Original levels
  • All levels (17)
  • All levels+ (19)

I will preface that this is simply my opinion on the matter, and likely doesn't reflect the opinions of any other mods.

First, I will admit that there's a tricky situation when it comes to creating "All Levels" categories for a continuously updated game like this. "All Levels" reflects every level that is in the game at that time. Part of me is unsatisfied with the conclusion of "All Levels should just be updated to a new category whenever asked for" as Noice suggests, since it's an incomplete collection of the game's history. I also recognize, however, that having 10 subcategories for every collection of levels that the game has had at the time of an update is wasteful. Weighing the two options, I'm definitely of the opinion of simply creating a new "All Levels" category when requested as updates are released, while not retroactively creating a category for each update. No demand = no category.

I do think, however, "All Levels" and "All Levels+" as category names to differentiate between the levels required is too unclear. I'd like to propose using the version number in which the most recent level in the run was added. ("v1.7 Levels" for levels up to Space & Ballroom, "v1.8 Levels" for levels up to Rollercoaster, and "v1.9 Levels" for levels up to Metro. Original Levels can stay the same or be renamed to "v1.0 Levels", although I think Original is fine.)

While looking over all of the boards to inform myself for this post, I noticed some strange issues like the runs in All Levels for some categories (in particular Portalless) having too many levels being ran, with some of them doing 18 levels despite the rules saying the first 17 levels. This is why I disagree with naming the categories anything close to "All Levels", as it invites confusion. If/when the aforementioned categories are made, I'll move those runs to their correct categories.

I also noticed some vague or poorly formatted rules that I'll definitely look into refactoring, in particular explicitly listing all of the levels required for each category and acknowledging modifiers (the forum post of which I'll respond to after this). If there's any questions you guys have or clarifications you'd like for the rules, please let me know in a post or in the Discord and I'll look into it. Thank you for being patient, I understand that it's effectively been near total radio silence concerning a lot of issues, but I'm looking forward to addressing them with you all.
