Why does Geometry Dash's Featured tab feel so samey? The answer to this is surprisingly simple; it stems from how you get inspired. In this video, we unpack the most efficient ways to get inspired, and how revolutionary creators like Para and Overdefo use this knowledge to make unique levels. Funnily enough, looking for inspiration outside Geometry Dash is the best move if you're trying to innovate. This will provide you with more content that you can reference as you create.

I appreciate how straightforward this video is, and actually explaining _why_ something is the way it is.

It feels so surreal to see parts of the "Getting Ideas" guide in video form, I love this!
💕
What is that guide? Is there a guide I don't know about
in my opinion, theres a large discrepancy between the people who can create good looking levels and good playing levels. the rare cases, such as those mentioned as innovators in this video or more recent creators like bli are the ones making masterpieces while those who can only make good deco make boring samey feeling levels while those who can only make good gameplay get little attention due to how their levels do not get rated
The way I get inspired is by listening to a song I'm really interested by, and imagining a whole world behind it. This is why I really like using random IDs for songs, so that I can come up with something unique. I like your videos by the way, I'm waiting for your next ones
just have more ideas aint that hard
the ideas won't stop I can't sleep at night they never end
sure bud
The problem with my inspiration is that I get influenced primarily by musical themes, mostly abstract philosophical concepts like death and life. Death metal is helpful while I decorate, but I need to branch out into something that isn't metal music or Renaissance oil paintings.
Usually when I build I try to ground abstract themes like those by putting them in a narrative. For example, you could have a level where the whole idea is that every block you touch restores life to a dead forest or something.
@@GDCreatorSchool Now that is a good idea. Narrative is something I love, so I'll see what I can do.
when I first started creating I looked to the outside world for inspiration, but I myself was inexperienced. now that I have some rates I think this video was a good wake up call to me, thanks for the inspiration :)
The reason getting ideas outside of gd is important is because the game built itself a certain style and way of making things. Newer players who have barely played the game can usually make stuff more interesting because they aren't used to the certain style everyone developed in the game yet. I'd say most of creating a unique level is understanding the principles and theories of art and just building anything you imagine without thinking about other levels much. This idea applies to gameplay too.
The go outside part is actually good, like for example if you wanna make a realistic level you gotta look at everything outside
Wow this is such a straightforward tutorial it's crazy! Good job man 👍
(First of all, i don’t really finish levels but i do get time sometimes to make something) My way of getting inspiration is just living my life normally and then i get intresting ideas from music, art and others. Then i just make what comes to my mind without really thinking thatluch since i already have the idea in mind.
That eliminate reference was nice, haha
Also, great vid as always!
Some levels really look different.
EDIT i think Spu7Nix is the most creative creator.
A really helpfull video! thank you for making this! This is really gonna help me!
Let's goo! Another gdcs video
1:13 ahh yes...silly cat, my favorite idea :)))
I'm 16 seconds in and I have to say that it's also Robtop's fault. No one wants to do a level using Flaaroni's cartoon style because they don't get rated
That i agreed that i agreed that inspiration is that many way to adapt by the inspiration other creator if that you believe that idea Can make it good levels depending how you creating
I LOVE CREATING VIDEOS BRING MORE
thanks
You are so underrated :O
Yoooo, another gdcs video on a topic I’ve wanted to be talked out yooo!!
personally i use my synesthesia to guide me.
does it work? yes.
do the levels get finished? amazing question
I mostly just make nine circles levels lol but im trying to make a non nine circles lvl since I think its more original and plus it may get rated easier
1:41 EL!MINATE
I just place objects, and pick some random colors, then build around it ... I am definetly a professi-.
because we've had the same update for 6 years
I have a lots of ideas, the problem is that I suck at building levels.
Wait. How tf did Lost Kin get out of the arena 2:30 ?
That was my question when playing too lol
SO REAL
creator school w
It just like Minecraft bro 😮
Probably because the game hasnt recieved any new content in over 5 years
hello!
Hi!
The reason is because levels are made for the sole purpose of getting CP, and not for the fun of it anymore
make a video on how to stay dedicated while creating a level please!
nowadays people just want creator points and since a level being "good" doesnt really mean anything for it to be rated, people just make generic levels and show off the achievement to their friends...
Sorry, I’m a daily chat user
