  • if you are a new and aspiring creator, you may look up to one of the bigger creator names in the community, such as the ones listed here. you may think that it is not possible for you to reach the same level of quality as those people. but keep in mind that all of them have been in the exact same position as you. they start off from nothing and build themselves up to the name that they have, no one is an exception
    to illustrate this point even further, this video will demonstrate the very first levels popular creators created. none of them are particularly good in today's standards but it showcases where they started and what they had to develop from in order to get where they are now. hopefully when seeing this you could reconsider the idea of becoming a unique creator yourself, as the ones listed here. with Geometry Dash's editor being such an incredible editor, the possibiltiies are endless and you can spiral out

    I know it is a question of preference, but the only thing that I don't like about your videos are the remixes of official soundtracks. Is it just me, or most of official soundtracks sound bad and even worse when they are remixed? Again, it is about music taste, but I thik it would be so much better to change these soundtracks to something else, for example NCS house.
