Yeah, gotta agree with you. Hard levels will be most likely wont be fun.
Though, it seems that I've made a mistake on this thread name. By 'The Toughest Level You Ever Made', it can mean 2 things: Tell us about one of your level which is very tough to beat. But my intention to start this thread is: Tell us about the making process of a level of yours which you think is a nightmare when you made it. I really struggled to finish my 'Hypercomlex Maze' because it's very confusing to design the maze. I have to make a copy of the level. Make a maze out of green buttons. Then move it one-by-one to the real one. Then make another copy, make a maze out of water tile. Move it again to the real one. Make another copy, make a maze of a specific tile, and so on. Painful. Because there's like 8 different tiles I have to make a maze with.
That level is really giving me hard time. And now, I'm curious if everyone in here also have the same experience as me. Not when creating a maze like what I mentioned earlier. It can be any level. It can be the one which forces you to playtest it very often. Or it can be a complex puzzle which causes a headache when you think about it. A full-effort level to be made.
Also, I'm wondering about how did Madhav create his YCTaOFNT, Pieguy with his Same Game, ('insert level designer here') with Caves, Mental Blocks, Stress Fracture, and other difficult levels in the existing CCLP.
So yeah, this thread is about behind-the-scenes of a level you made.
