1. Watch a decorating tutorial

Me:
1. See cool level on UA-cam
2. Be inspired
3. Get demotivated
4. Lay in bed and cry
if you realy want to succede, continue making the level even if you are demotivated. obligate yourself to building level if you want to make good levels
I'm just starting off with making levels with the basic 2.2 decorative objects.
My first level was a Fingerdash Remake that absolutely sucked (Fingerdash, by HumanBeing99999). My second was a Dash Full Remake that was great at first but was destroyed by it's color palette and my trying to keep decoration quality the same in each section (Dash Destroyer).
My third level is unfinished, but it's actually really good. It will be called "Speedrunners", and will be a Full Song version of Explorers, with 4 bossfights (I've completed 2 so far).
The song is at +4 speed, and the level has ~60000 Obj, 64 SFX, and an actually varied theme that fits the term "Exploration".
I also have improved the early segments of the level, from optimizing and redecorating to adding an Attempt Counter.
The level is currently so dang difficult that it took me 3 days to beat the first half (I built 2: 12m so far), so I might nerf it massively before uploading.
My current building pace is about 2s per day... and not every day. It will probably be at least another month before I finish.
When I finish Speedrunners, I hope it gets rated (and maybe even showcased by Nexus), but if not, I'll just make another level. I love building them anyway.

“New videos bi-weekly”
oh dang I followed the tutorial perfectly but accidentally ended up making a parallel universe with transtemporal travel and unstoppable active galactic nuclei as an RPG 4v4 First Person Shooter all inside of GD... I just wanted to make an apple...
It doesn't hurt to -change the entire level- -narrative after having worked on it- -for months and also- keep it that way.
oops
Thanks for making this video! I’ve always had problems with making decoration that felt right for me.
I see you everywhere from discord to UA-cam to here
I think its worth mentioning watching other creators build live (or at least the closest you can to real time), you can absorb their creating process and allow that to build upon how you build, plus you can learn new things and tips. Tips is greater than full tutorials in my opinion.
3:56 thats how i learned art from ever end by Galofuf. I THOUGHT THAT WAS ILLEGAL
as someone i dont know once said: "good artists copy, great artists steal" (dont actually steal stuff tho)
Wow! I thought deco included tons of different objects, but in reality, it's just some glow and a few basic shapes. This really revolutionized my perception on making deco and I'll definitely have these tips in mind
Genuinely incredible and actually good tutorial. Absolutely love the pacing and how everything is explained.
the hardest for me in decorating is getting an idea for the level😭
Damn I seriously needed this for my last level I'm tryna make. Thanks!
Awesome video!!! This made me a lot less afraid of decorating.
This is gonna be a lifesaver especially since I’m working on a MD (murder drones) level as a appreciation to the show & stuff, currently have sum really nice gp for the full song (bite me) as well as text, since that’s definetly needed, (I definetly have not used about 170 groups for text only). I kinds don’t know how to do deco so this should allow me to get at least some basic deco going (if I want it to get rated it’ll probably have to be legendary or mythic worthy since it uses a nong tho)
Thanks for making this. Wherever I see a good level I just start crying because I'll never be able to make something good and I go into a self hating spiral
Crying💀
Same
The editing is SO good dude
The fuckin orange 😂
YOU SAW NOTHING THE THUMBNAIL IS CORRECT
@@GDCreatorSchool real💀☠
Very good tutorial. Prividing just enough info to make the viewer want to create, and also giving them a good framework to be creative. Very well thought out and very skillfully executed.
Thank you!
bud wake up its not school anymore 2 week holiday time (jk)
I joined the discord server before i knew his channel 💀
Clean editing, nice voice and helpful tips. Easily one of the best GD youtubers.
looking forward to watching this!
Step one: get a deco idea
I can never get past that step
Literally anything could be a deco idea. You can start with smth vague, like a concept (apple, space, computer code, etc) and then add specificity (e.g., apples have stems with leaves, stems and leaves can function as platforms, etc), and so on
Does that help?
@@SyoDraws yes, it does. But what if I just want to make a simple modern featured level, like I’m trying to do right now? Is taking ideas from other levels okay?
@@cubism_2 indeed.
I personally think taking ideas from other sources can be an opportunity to grow oneself creatively.
For example, you can reflect on *why* you like the idea you are taking inspiration from. What makes it appealing to you? (E.g., if a level uses a particular kind of flat and bold block design, or has an interesting color scheme that maybe you havent seen before)
Then you can either implement it 1:1 or find a way to use the idea that feels interesting to you and fits with your own level. The second option is where you have the chance to be more creative by challenging yourself to fit these ideas together.
So yeah, taking inspiration is fine
Does that answer your question sufficiently?
@@SyoDraws actually, your answer was above and beyond. I never thought about it that way
@@cubism_2 glad I could help! :)
Instructions unclear, I sent in several airstrikes to your exact location.
The videos I watched before this was somehow all of aliensrocks 5d chess videos 😂
You are the best gd deco guy on yt 😁
There is one problem you can never truly solve...
If Robtop gives a darn about rating your level 😭
Getting a rate is useless g
it's not useless it could make your level much more popular and make more people play it
@@Omar-44488 I personally create to have fun
thank you soooooo much for that! now i finally know how to decorate! 🥳🥳
Yooo thanks for this guide! this will help me out a lot
TYSM
thanks for not saying first
So good video I'm gonna make a level now
After watching this video, try to remember to focus more on the gameplay and the deco, focus on who's playing the level more then those shiny creator points
Your videos are very informational 👍
This is the most useful gd tutorial-video.
NEW PEAK COMING
We need a tutorial on how to do those cool transitions bro. I always wanted to know how to do them!
Dung defender ost is goated
He's Back!
thank you for making this video now ima make a masterpiece
Good luck :)
Bro i love u so much rn , lowkey need more skill for decos
Imagine or draw the deco
LETS GO HE BACK
"new videos bi-weekly" you mean bi-monthly
I need to update that banner 💀
@@GDCreatorSchool lol
he finally he had a UA-cam channel
There's something ironic about a basic deco guide having a footage of best decos in the game
You helped me improving my upcoming platformer level! (I won't tell you what its name)
just started trying to deco, hopefully this helps 🎉🎉
Better than waboo tutorials for sure
Finally not a video that is made like 5 years ago💀🙏🏼 (at least for me)
noted.
THE GOAT IS BACKK 🔥🔥🔥 🗣🗣🗣🗣
welcome back
0:07 holy shit breadking part jumpscare real
thank u!
Also, when "how to make a proper background" or "foreground"?
Im struggling with these two.
Even though these things are in your discord server.
Im not a reader kind of guy, im only
Into listening.
I’ve considered making a BG video for a while, hopefully I’ll be able to get to that soon!
he got his acc back🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣
Blending is best thing in GD editor
nice video!
Great vid
It's an actually helpful video...
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS!?
Can you breakdown the Xender Game's or Manix648's or LazerBlitz's block design style and maybe some tips and tricks behind those styles? Thank you so much for the tutorial, I really need that
About z-layers: there is very annoying bug when z-layering is don't work with objects in symbols and decoration tabs. I really hate it
That’s because of their tileset value (the number above the “Z Layer” text). Objects with a lower tileset will always render above ones with a higher one, and you can’t modify an object’s tileset value.
the problem is that i dont know what to make, i dont have any ideas, and any way of getting them failed...
i did make a few cool stuff tho :)
I still don't know how
W video as always
W im subbing
Can you make a video on layouts
can u do an uncut deco video
can you make a video on how to structure levels? all of my layouts are floating platforms 🥲
Wouldn't background deco be considered air deco?
TYSM for this amazing tutorial! Id like to study the block design. can you send me the level id? thank you again for the tutorial! You are amazing!
I’d suggest studying the block design through what I showed in the video! I’d rather not upload the actual design as to not encourage people to just copy it.
Exiperience is very important fym
If you waited until the end of the video you’d note what I said there regarding experience
Gun
me who literally uses geode for the import image button mod lol (also i will try to make this in the real gd)
I got 4 creator points since your last upload
Ayy, congrats!
this is seriously one of my favourite channels for gd right now, especially while i'm building a new level, thank you so much for all you do :)
