There has always been this huge chip on my shoulder for many years, so I have decided to come clean about what truly happened during the time of CCLP1 voting to everyone. This is not easy and I don't expect people will forgive me, but it's going to explain why I have stayed away from the CC community for a very long time since CCLP1 was released. I don't know how many people outside of the CCLP1 staff know, but I felt enough time has passed to get it out.

Back in 2013, during CCLP1 voting, I was the CCLP1 Voting Administrator, and J.B. Lewis was constantly monitoring who was voting what on each level. We all had a private Skype group chat together with the CCLP1 staff in it along with myself. At around the third month of voting, I got more and more frustrated with some of my own favourite levels doing badly in voting. I ended up developing a dark and nasty habit of being mean to the CCLP1 staff as a result, in particular having a huge grudge against J.B. Lewis (Me and J.B. clashed a lot even before voting began. At the time, I just got sick of the Chipsters seeing him as this perfect snowflake who thinks he is always right and nobody willing to challenge his opinions) who was mostly just telling me the progress of the votes. Shortly after, I started making a few CC Zone accounts and rigging it to favour my own levels. I ended up digging a huge inescapable hole in the long run and eventually rockdet figured it out for sure that I was up to no good. Not wanting to lie to rockdet on Skype who was my favourite Chipster at the time, I eventually confessed to the whole rigging. Rock didn't believe I was a bad person though, just someone who couldn't control his power. After that, the votes from the fake accounts were deleted and everything went back to normal. After CCLP1 was released in 2014, I lowered my time significantly on the CC community, eventually resigning my CC Zone Admin position in March 2015.

So that's why my interest in Chip's Challenge has dropped significantly. CCLP1 was a very dark time in my life. Was I selfish? Sure, so that's why I chose not to submit any of my levels to CCLP4 voting. I didn't want to risk becoming that person again. On the upside, I found what my biggest weakness was so I decided to just let it all go and shorten my time with the community. A new era began and that was pretty much the end of Chip's Challenge for me.

As it turns out, I had more ideas, even after extending JoshL6. I cannot promise I won't make any more CC1 levels anymore.

This is my 7th levelset in the JoshL series! Contains 70 brand new levels compatible and solvable in both MS and Lynx rulesets! Various levels here once again, use wall configurations seen in other sets. Few feature somewhat new concepts that I personally haven't seen done before. Very few were designed for create competitions. Even fewer were even re-designed or re-purposed from an older set in some way! And of course... there's mazes! Lots of them.

Overall, I'm very pleased with how this set turned out! I did my best with the ordering and I tried to explore areas I particularly don't tackle in level design much anymore, such as monster manipulation and fairly difficult puzzles that aren't annoying to play over.

I'm very excited to hear some feedback on these.

I hope you enjoy! Feedback thread can be found here.

It's something we haven't done yet, and there are still enough of us to pull it off and make it worthwhile

Note that there are 2 files: the regular one and the "pure" one. The regular one tries to leave in something wall-like when there aren't enough walls. The pure one does not, and also removes all the buried wall tiles.

See the competition thread for details.

What better way to announce your (semi) last CC1 set's release than with a trailer for it?

There's a sound effect called slide1.wav in the game files for both CC2 and the Steam version of CC1, yet it doesn't seem to play anywhere in the games. The first second is just slide.wav (the normal sliding loop), then it's slide.wav randomly decreasing and increasing in frequency as instances of splash.wav play over it, then it ends with one more second of slide.wav and two seconds of silence. Can this actually be heard anywhere in CC1 or CC2, or is it just unused?

20 levels

- Added a .c2g file

- Removed a couple of poor levels, added some new levels and tidied up some existing levels

I have tried to keep frustration to a minimum, so unlike my CC1 levelset there is no snatching a chip from a ball confined to 2 spaces for example.

All are solvable, including collecting all the bonus flags.

I give consent for the levels to be considered for any community level pack.
