this is litteraly one of my favorite extreme in the game the atmosphere, the song, the deco- everything fits so well, absolutely stunning job

good level (the fcking best song)

greatest and weirdest alter ego i have ever seen

While I didn't agree with everything said in this video, I still found it interesting nonetheless. How I see, how about should approach when making art, People should be enjoying themselves and having fun when creating art, and don't care what people think at the end of the day. Of course you should always take a healthy amount of criticism or suggestions, but if you're happy with what you're making right now, then it doesn't really matter too much. Always remind yourself why you started creating in the first place, and what drives you to be passionate. But to be fair this is coming from someone who hasn't made a proper level yet, just layouts lol A month or two ago I saw Look Back in theaters and it was truly something special. It more or less cemented my views on art. P.S. Sorry the Encroaching Dark video is taking a while. I've got massive video I've been working on for over half a year. I'll get back to making my normal content after that.

this level is genuinly amaizing

no

Extremely average level. Perhaps, the effects are the only thing that can surprise in the level. The gameplay is extremely unbalanced, and the drop, compared to other parts of the level, jumps almost 100 meters up in difficulty compared to the last 30 seconds of the level, and I will remain silent about the block designs, because it was worth adding at least a texture to the bricks, especially on the first cube & ship and on the dual part. Honestly, the level had a lot of potential, but as for me, the gameplay and not quite polished deco ruined everything that could have been.

I am not intending to take you seriously with that text to speech

*secondly, if you take assets or others work without permission (This goes to music, photos, 3D models and everything else that is licensed in any way except for free use) you will get sued, since it is illegal. Seen plenty of peoples like ya'll mix matching shit others made without adding anything to it and then calling it "art" lmao

using as reference is not the same as copy paste. When you copy paste, none of your own skill in a field is involved, you just copy someone else's work. When you use something as a reference, you use them as help in order to make something of your own. If you were even a bit into art, you'd understand the difference between tracing a picture and knowing art basics in order to recreate something yourself. Recreating art this way is called doing a study and it's a way to learn a technique and understand what the original creator had in mind.

Nice opinion whered you get it

I didnt even know this was a controversy I thought this would be common sense LOL

PLEASE make more videos like these, it honestly is refreshing to see a take that doesn't follow the gd echo chamber

Truth Nuke...

Nice level! I miss loona

oh boy, vril-filled level. Is that literally the WHOLE WAVE SECTION FROM WEIRD? Also, kfarms is my favorite esoteric symbol. Watching this, I can feel Lain-chan coming inside of me... I haven't touched gdash in over a year, but I still have full interest in the keeping of the quid legacy alive. I don't even know if you ARE quid.

should have been epic lol

This pleases Oyashiro-sama

I can say with 𝓪𝓫𝓼𝓸𝓵𝓾𝓽𝓮 𝓬𝓮𝓻𝓽𝓪𝓲𝓷𝓽𝔂 that this is a banger

AMAZING! UNDERATED CREATOR RIGHT HERE! ima go pla this

love it definetly my next demon

freaky ass 😭😭😭

Very sigma level

this is fire

0:00 really beautiful black-space like procedural twinkling effect. The blue lines fit. The hibiscus art is beautiful and not overbearing, and the overlay is barely noticeable. My only nitpick for the start is that the transition at 0:10 is rough and the portal lightning is ugly and not negated, but the fact you fall onto the first platform makes this more bearable. This could be an intentional effort towards optimisation but the block design at 0:13 is a little bit of an eyesore and is 2.0-like which is quite subversive. This section is overall bland because it is reminiscent of an art level but the moon background isn't detailed enough to distract the player. However, the dead leaf-things on the stone are a really nice touch and a good move. The thematic pulse things at about 0:18 and about 0:20 where red mist appears and disappears is in the realms of being terribly cheap but narrowly misses this fate, they're a little off-putting and don't fit. Even though I do get the intention and how they sync with the music. The sun-like moon thing shining through onto the stone bricks is fantastic. I think you could try adding more foreground decorations already since it'd fit with the vibe, maybe like the hibiscus, you could do a hemlocks and brambles, just thinking now. Oh yeah, and the stars are small but that's just a nitpick, I like how they twinkle even if it's merely an optical illusion, good work putting them there. The way that the background rises at about 0:18 even though the vertical gameplay has slowed down looks extremely chintsy but before that it gives the illusion of a tower-y experience and is good. A reason why is because it stops (ascending) suddenly at its apex with no justified easing. You probably couldn't get it to keep moving, but you should ease it while it is rising so it asymptotes logarithmically with the accompanying gameplay. If you had it stay moving it'd feel like you're falling which eh. Can't fix what ain't broke at that point. The glow transition at 0:30 is pulled off well and fits the music. The luttle glow ball sequence above and below you is clean and I commend it. The lanterns look extremely cheap, fake, immersion-breaking; however since you are going so fast its barely an issue. The red outline pulsing is effective and sufficiently modest. You've managed to get the flashing at the right color and speed. 0:50 glow transition is eh. The chromatic anime flash frame isn't pulled off well, it looks blurry and incoherent, and maybe passes as mediocre when it's interpreted as a bunch of random colors splashing artistically onto the screen. The (eyes?) or (facial features?) aren't anywhere near coherent enough. Yeah I keep rewatching it and it's just blurry and incoherent like I think I said. However, the fading out at 0:52 towards the descending tree stairway is beautiful and an exquisite use of ambient foreground-background, with a faint tinge of balls mountain by pinecones. Good use of incoherence here at least. (well, incoherence pathos as panic, fear) 1:02 nice, nice, nice. I respect you not putting the original symbol since it might get you jannied anyway. None of the flashing obstructs the gameplay. This makes it feel weird and slow. This part is rather reminiscent of "troll level" by Arekushi14, which, well, isn't so good for the level IMO. the style change-up at 1:24 is rough. The ground effect is bearable, but looks dated, which could fit but ultimately doesn't because even the last part was in a weak mid-late 2.1 zeitgeistic style. The rising esoteric symbol pentagram thing is beautiful and of course fits this being a level with a koraii song and that sort of strong quid-y hermetic vibe. The transition color flash thing at 1:29 is suprisingly(?) fleshed-out and well done. It sets up the dual well. Good. Once again though, at 1:30, the bricks, and even the block design a little bit, look obselete and ugly. The block design, basically just a copy of the block design at the drop, blends disgustingly into the bland, overdone esoteric symbols. The dual gameplay is SOLID until 1:37 but it doesn't become terrible, just slightly above average, after 1:37. I will say the color choices with the blocks, and their colors changing, makes them slightly better as the dual goes on. The Japanese text flash screens, with the dithering at the sides, are so, so much better than the anime drawing flash frames, they are really pretty, and mysterious, and unnerving, and tense. As for the calligraphy, that's really well done. I could read all the kanji. Really pleasant touch, details like that mean everything in art, kudos. Now, I am not familiar with the anime or VN or something like that yeah that encroaching dark (the song) is about (or where the samples or from that's what I meant), but I searched the text and it seems to be directly from it(?), if so then nice touch! It seems like black also flashes like a flash frame. This is really well-done and subtle too. Oh yeah, the dual gameplay actually becomes really good again after 1:40-ish, so really only a little wobble with "unorthodox" gameplay not in a Devin-like sense. Delicious transition at 1:47. Delicious, delicious -- the glow is SO good, the Ovdfo-like(?) light pillars with the three purple and one blue orbs at the end of this mini section (1:49) is really nice too, good work keeping with the song! Nothing much to say about 1:50-2:10. It's amazing! The big moon fills the screen and is continuity, the little moth(?) things flying around make the screen fill full but not cluttered -- perfect, almost Peeled Skin by akinawoo-like gameplay and pace: impressive Koraii-ing. When it goes dark too is alright. Nice, and importantly tolerable, effects, too. Exceptional gameplay towards the end actually. 2:10 transition is faithful to the song. OMG is that a heckin layers by ""sachikoadmirer""? The colors at 2:13 -- and even the sync Y 1x speed, which is a nice little touch -- are phenomenal. This is how benevolent, thematic emptiness can WORK SO WELL. The little art of the leaf plant things, their crimson hue -- the "encroaching dark" blurple -- so lovely. So great. A yummy touch to make the island herbs(?) get moved by you. Many such cases! The background's basic geometry is artisan. Finally, I appreciate how you can see yourself going into the 0.5x speed ball portal with albeit dimmed lighting that carries on, making the next section not a jumpscare or... powercut. Now this 2:23 ball is the most quid-like thing in the world, with the reactive tiny platforms and barely noticeable decoration, but it's okay for the piano solo. The thing around you lighting up in sync is awesome -- the deep blurple continues being rich and glorious in this monochrome section. The little glow pulse is so good. Probably one of the smoothest transitions of all time, and synced, at 2:45 -- and the ending. The particles are like dust. The decoration is still in that lovely quiddy style. Such a good ending. The structures fading in and out works fantastically, and the sudden light-cut to end the level once and for all -- a hermetic cherry on top, as underneath. 7/10
