I won't lie, I pretty much share almost the exact same thoughts about these levels. Lucas' Speed Highway is a pretty good level (especially for a person who has never made a level before, as Speed Highway is his first.) Good video!
I may have changed my name, but I am M/C Industries, and I have been taking the advice from everybody, and SCZ Has gotten a quite major improvement, which can be found on the Carbon Isles devlog, And as for shiverside chasm, yeah it was canned but for some fucking reason was put in the OLDC anyways.
@@TETANUS. uh yeah about that... SCZ1 was actually de-listed from oldc submissions, due to it making a playable appearance in the SRB2 Carbon Isles mod, meaning you can just play it right now if you want!
Not that I've heard of STJ being particularly bad myself. I never knew there was an issue. But I think what you don't quite understand about the oldc's is that it's simply an event to encourage folk to submit levels in the first place. You get very brutal towards the some of the content and the folk who make it. All of which is made for no money n'all. This is something that we can't take for granted these days given how difficult it is to find projects like this in the first place. I would suggest that you critique what you get but not slate it. These are delicate times for communities like this. Regardless of management. (P.S. Though your point on the level hidden as a secret in this oldc is a valid point. A bit questionable that is.)
In fact it might actually be straight up a recreation of a Rayman 2 map, if not an original that's inspired by 2, as the enemies and art design is very similar
This has to be the worst OLDC yet, it was complete dogshit. First one I played when over half of the maps were just not fun. I'd like to see more from you, this video was well put together.
I wish they had the option to just choose the damn levels instead of having to WANDER AROUND TO CHOOSE A LEVEL. IT'S ANNOYING. PLEASE JUST RELEASE THEM LIKE REGULAR LEVELS
If you’re going to be incredibly picky about levels, it’d be helpful to explain why the levels have flaws instead of just saying “yeah there are clear flaws” and then moving on. Makes your points feel insincere to a degree.
Could you explain what you would do to change the levels if you knew how to make them, I just wanna know, considering this is just insulting levels imo
The new OLDC term seems really stupid to me. Personally, I think the original meaning behind it would give me more motivation than a simple collab. It tells anyone who has played the game and has played through the previous OLDC winners that you *need* to have some skill in level making to even get a chance at winning. Let alone, have some skill at all to even enter. But this? You can enter in a level that is so rushed to the point where it's like 5 seconds long and you'll get it published. It's pathetic! And to not only *prove* that point with the secret level being LITERALLY 5 seconds long shows that the new STJR doesn't even take their level policy seriously! They can bullshit about us being a bit harsh to some new creators, but maybe don't be even more insulting locking someone's bad levels BEHIND GETTING CHAOS EMERALDS! Either rework your policy or at least block secret levels that DESERVE TO BE SECRET!

As An Update To This Comment, Be Anticipating Round 2 Of The Next OLDC, Its Gonna Have A Heavily Improved Version Of SCZ
can't wait for new scz, thought the current version was fine, definitely needs improvement so keep it up.
@@TETANUS. uh yeah about that...

As someone who spent a lot of years watching and interacting with the game, it's depressing to see how the staff manage the game now.
Im pretty sure creepy crypt is a srb2 version of a rayman 2 level, with rayman enemies and and lums
If only you had the same vigor when reviewing the good levels as you did reviewing the mediocre ones.
Its ashame really

EYO CREEPY CRYPT IS A RAYMAN INSPIRED LEVEL???
That's cool as hell! You pick up Lums instead of Rings here and there too!

you should go back and review the older OLDCs from before you picked up this format, these vids are a ton of fun
zaxel's levels are so bad that i want to destroy zaxel's thunder yard with taz mode and HYPER MYSTIC SONIC
I actually know my industries, and I’m 99% sure this isn’t their fist level.
I'm amazed they resisted the urge to flood the hub world with LGBT flags again.
THEY DID THAT?
"Flood"??
