Just a note about counting screens - if you open Map.bin as an archive (by renaming it into ZIP or with Ctrl+Shift+PgDn in Total Commander), 300 screens would be 885 KB when unpacked.

Alternatively, you can drag and drop the Map.bin file onto my very simple KS Screen Count utility, which will do the calculation for you. Note however that some levels seem to be affected by a very strange bug in the KS Editor that sometimes causes the Map.bin file to be filled with a lot of null garbage data, which increases the uncompressed file size by a lot (about 20-30MB, sometimes even more) and throws off the reported screen count as a result. This is quite rare, though, so you'll get the correct screen count most of the time.
Some KS levels by me:

The deadline is fast approaching!

Do we have any more submissions?

Very good. I will add you to the list forthwith.

(even though I contributed to the level myself :P )

I'd like to enter The Cursed Gallery by Glorious Trainwrecks. Just be aware it is being updated up until the very last second… and beyond!

After the deadline passes, I will download the version that exists at that time to review. You will have an opportunity to make further changes after the first reviews go out.

Another absolute last minute suggestion: could [SECRET PROJECT LPC100] be added to the list? Deep Freeze has set the precedent that you'll accept levels that you contributed to, and I have high hopes it will be in a fairly finished state at the time your second deadline rolls around.

Very well. Is there a link to it?

Submissions are now closed. I will now be gathering the latest versions of all the levels in the running, and will be reviewing them fairly soon. Expect those to be sent out no later than the end of January (feel free to continue tweaking your levels in the mean time).

Thanks to all those who submitted.

Hah!  I didn't even think of that.  Oh well, hopefully those visual bits and pieces and prior playtesting won't color your opinion too thoroughly. :P

Well I also contributed some to Advena and Dragon Myth, so it's only fair.

Made a small change to the scoring policy, so that it made more sense. The rules have not changed.
