  • What if you spent over 2,000 hours making ONE Geometry Dash level? Well with my most recent level Anarchy Road, I’ve spent the last year doing just that, and I learned lots of valuable things along the way. Here’s the story of how I made my best level to date.

    For a beginner thats pretty good! But maybe you should make a 3d level with raytracing next time.
    No, seriously, this is SO INCREDIBLE COOL! But tbh i cant really see a big difference between the level at 1000 and 2200 houres of work. Instead of spending these extra 1200 houres to add extra details, i would just work on a new project. But still, one of the best gd levels ive ever seen.

      Hate to be the nerd over here, but it's raycasting, not raytracing. Raytracing is solely responsible for generating realistic lighting, meanwhile raycasting is what turns 2D into simplistic 3D imagery.

  • @TylevGD
    @TylevGD 26 днів тому +1

    *Komatic,*
    I’m a perfectionist who’s been making levels for about 3 years. I’ve been trying to get past this barrier of “I know this detail is small but is it worth the time to change?”, and that, along with planning how everything moves and rotates, definitely boosts my editor time into the hundreds.
    People usually only watch a showcase of your level once, no matter how much detail is put in there. With that in mind, I’ve been going for realism in levels with more still images. It’s mainly because the timing of movements and rotations are especially difficult to make “perfect”, and sometimes no one’s gonna notice those movements in the background if there’s just… so much going on in the foreground.
    My recommendations for your level making going forward: I think creating a level that people will remember and not be overwhelmed with, having a simple main idea that’s prevalent, and mainly relying on decoration objects to make something feel “alive”, definitely makes its impact feel gratifying. I treat levels as learning curves and experiments, I never really plan to make “The Level” of my gd history (because that pesky perfection gets in the way).
    You did an incredible job with Anarchy Road and everything in this level is perfect. Just in the future, I recommend you make levels with the mental aspect in mind, and keep it over the logical and technical aspects of it all.
