DECORATING A 2.2 Platformer Level!

I've never been good at decoration, but today I decided to try and fix that.
Today, I tried to decorate a 2.2 platformer level I've been working on! Feedback is greatly appreciated! :)

oh boy oh boy, I sure do love using pixel blocks! They are definitely easy to use and the menu is not messy at all!

[@Niaomi101]

2.2 rate standards are making me give up on my dreams

[@RiggyAnimations2719]

​@@Niaomi101one of my levels that had no effort put into them and was just some goofy lobotomy story got rated and the levels I actually put effort into stayed as na

[@Crunchybagels]

i really like videos of you just decorating because you struggle in the editor about as much as i do. please keep doing these! i think itll be really fun to see you grow as a decorator over time through these videos!

[@gggames20]

Awesome. Would love to see this finished.

[@braindeadwaffles8329]

Tip for making spike designs: there are new spike glow objects in the blocks-tab that you can use so you don't have to use regular glow.

[@dombomb64]

Maybe use a wall block for your wall instead of a ceiling block so you can match the corner up properly??

[@sdslayer100]

robs fault for making them different blocks in the first place

[@dagamercat1345]

Not even a ceiling block, its a floor block used for the wall and ceiling that are supposed to have their own blocks!

[@dombomb64]

@@sdslayer100 Sorry, my anger has been amplified lately, not really sure why.

[@Niteshade_]

Great one

[@happy_est]

I had such a great time watching you decorate!!!

[@darksentinel082]

Tip: if you need a corner piece that doesn’t exist, doing a solitary block as a sort of corner cap also tends to work well

[@CoolDuhJ]

I think that he did a really good job, considering that this is his first time. If I had any advice, I would say to not mix with modern style deco (changing spikes) with the pixilated 2.2 style.

[@The_Real_Certified_Potato]

Agreed

[@sdslayer100]

dont really feel like theres many other options for spikes, because i do not want to use the pixel spikes

[@CoolDuhJ]

@@sdslayer100Would crystals work?? I was scrolling through all the items and I noticed amethyst looking shards. They might for the purple color scheme that you chose.

[@The_Real_Certified_Potato]

@@sdslayer100 why not

[@NotRainbowSteve]

I genuinely enjoyed this, it helped me out with learning stuff about the editior! Usually you don’t really show how you do things but this helped a lot (with the stuff you did actually do in the video you showed how you did it for the most part)

[@hamster69420]

I love watching other people decorate so I can get some ideas to decorate levels I make

This video is what's helping me design the deco for my platformer level. I've never decorated before and I legit just make layouts

[@user-itztocaisabella]

Cmon man never give up on decoration 😢😢😢 it's an important role when building

[@shadowspartanzeta7]

I would unironiccally watch more of this type of video As a level creator myself with similar struggles in the 2.2 editor Watching your videos has helped me learn the 2.2 editor as well

[@kole3k803]

damn thats really good keep up the work bro you make a video really funny while you decorate it and it really made my day thanks

[@billyg8282]

I tried to decorate a level not to long ago and it was a nightmare to decorate so that is so good

[@Galixar_Official]

Ah yes. Another good platformer level by the legend

[@HarryOnceDidDoors]

Old comments are truly gold comments- Like if you agree c:

[@cupidbleh]

Honestly it was fun watching you decorate somehow

[@maybexand...]

Very enjoyable to watch

[@name36154]

You could call it 'hold up' because hold up means stop and hold is the input required

[@michaelgray3205]

Nice deco 😊

[@bananasauce1000]

I would love to see more decorating vids

[@CMAKdaSILLY]

You should do another video working on this level!

Man sd deserves a rated level

[@Fibero-Fibero69_420]

kind of a stretch, rating standards are getting HIGH

[@GraysonXD]

Hey SD Slayer how do you use the guide trigger I’m so confused by it I keep trying to make little rooms but it won’t work Keep up the good work btw

[@jjgh5421]

Cool video

[@theweirdgdguyrealnofake]

nice deco!!1 ! very swag

[@monkeeeeyt]

i enjoyed that like a dad screaming at football unironically i was screaming at my moniter to add the line in the turned off spikes

[@jakubplodr1958]

i dont like videos often but this definetly deserved a like

[@belkristianaraoarao6030]

btw there is spike glow in the block section but you have to keep scrolling until you find it

[@user-tk5if5jq4i]

You added effects but they are circles. Maybe make pixels, cubes or something like that

[@GDJosh101]

Everything you did in this video was done for. 1: the corner blocks for the bricks you were trying to use were correct but the left wall wasn’t correct. 2: in the block tab before the 2.1 blocks is new spike accessories that you can put on spikes. That’s how robtop created the explorers blocks. 3: if you want the explorers bricks to look better then there are these glow blocks next to the bricks you can use. 4: I recommend to decorate with chains. 5: your level looks off because the background needs to be darker. 6: if you are still reading this congrats, I didn’t think you had the attention span.

[@Nexus24gd]

COOOOOOOOOL awesome🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@zoophiliaphobic]

you dont have to put dont fade dont enter on everything, you can just put a stop enter effect trigger at the start of the level (the block with a red cross through it)

[@reinbew794]

I mean... you can just select all and check don't fade and don't enter once you finish the level. It's way easier...

[@Koolaid424]

⁠@@reinbew794it takes longer and overall the trigger is faster

[@XENON2028]

​@@reinbew794 or you can place down one trigger and never have to worry ever again if you update the level

[@wyattskinner697]

That first tile set does have a corner piece, you just didn’t use the right one.

[@imlosingit.]

truly the video

[@ABwebGamesFan]

As someone who received steam gift cards for Christmas, I agree

[@nathanreeder9716]

11:45 as any halfway decent creator knows, glow. It needs glow.

[@PoggersFloppa]

the blocks that go in the middle are small white dots for some reason they dont fill the entire square in tabs but when u place it it fills the grid

[@chrioxisgd8366]

yeah, ok, nice deco, but how tf did you build this in the first place! i can barely use the move trigger
