Make GOOD GD Platformer Levels!

wait a minute, this is just a game design lesson disguised as a geometry dash video i love this channel so so much

platformer mode: cube decides it's done moving straight and decides to try every other direction

[@EE_MS]

yes, once we were able to move left and right, but we can move up and down too! and you can either have it happen when you dont want it (classic) or move freely when u want, (platformer, obviously.)

[@Tetromint]

Now its moving gay

[@arrowgamingRBLX]

@@TetromintI was gonna say that

[@EE_MS]

for triggers to work and look normally it must be touch trigger or spawn trigger, which is how you make cool stuff, although i reccomend spawn in order, but they can be none if u want, it will just happen at a certain time eventually. also make it kulti trigger to happen more than one time.

Me: makes a MetroidVania GD creator School: only use a few different gimmicks Me: has 20 different abilities and 30 upgrades for abilities

[@PoizMKT]

Another tip I would recommend is to keep the difficulty consistent or slowly make it more difficult. Don't make it like a tutorial into a final boss for an extreme demon, it just looks better if you gradually make it more difficult in order for the player to understand the gameplay. :)

[@themilkcat6718]

I find it funny that this trash level I made in a day just to join some dumb lobotomy competition now is appearing literally everywhere, not even the tutorials are safe anymore

[@GDCreatorSchool]

Yo pls tone down the shaders in the level so it’s not impossible to see anything lol

[@themilkcat6718]

@@GDCreatorSchool soon™ working on a large scale update

[@_ego11]

something that’s improved my levels a lot recently is top 1k stargrinders as playtesters. They really know what a given difficulty should look like and give good advice as to what amount of stars to request and other gameplay changes to make

[@sonicwaveinfinitymiddwelle8555]

1:42 it is literally silent clubstep end maze but with decoration ☠

does bro know about limbo???

[@Yetta-meta]

Note that the best games are ones that give you the most creative freedom. This can be implied to geometry dash levels as well. Having multiple ways to make your way to the top can be really helpful for making your level better.

[@galacticd0gg413]

Flipswap factory is the best platformer so far in my opinion

[@The_Silly_Sloth]

Can you make a tutorial for making your level having a cool background like for dungeons or castles?

[@GDCreatorSchool]

I already made a few videos on decorating and using objects, I’d suggest applying those next time you create ^^

[@mylenetrinchera9411]

What level is in 0:07? I really wanna try

[@GDCreatorSchool]

Speedtek by G4lvatron

[@G0WLD]

I made at very cool platformer extreme demon and ive been trying to beat it for a little bit, 2.2 has been very fun so far especially with platformer

[@optimuslovesbees2180]

yo can u make a tutorial on how to make a actual balanced plat level?

[@GDCreatorSchool]

There’s a lot of stuff that goes into balancing a platformer since you have a lot more control over the level’s mechanics, but I’ll see what I can do

[@HexDeck]

Platformer levels are never gonna be as good as they are now.(as a populace, better ones will come around) I just think that we don’t value enough the fact the “platformer formula” doesn’t exist yet. Ev

[@PollarisTheGD]

In terms of gamemodes, I honestly think UFO should have been excluded from Platformer Mode as well because going up a tall tower is so tedious that by the time the player reaches the top, they're no longer having fun. But that's just my take on it though. Feel free to destroy me in the replies.

[@thechesschief7048]

It has potential, it’s up to the creator to maximise that potential, therefore it shouldn’t be excluded but should be used wearily by creators

[@PollarisTheGD]

@@thechesschief7048 Well you can say that for the Swing and the Wave as well, right?

Good video.

[@crowsong1]

i am not kidding, u can make hollow knight like games in gd now

[@therexplays7343]

I'm doing almost exactly that, except that I'm going to combine mechanics from other games (hollow knight, ultrakill, bioshock, etc).

[@RealElevenTimes]

Making a good platformer level is the easy part. Having a mod play your level is the hard part.

[@astral8178]

Yea but, not all of these rules need to be followed, otherwise you may end up with a generic level Like, sure, readability is important, but making a puzzle room that you know the solution of straight away is blantantly bad game design Although i do agree that these rules are important, you need to break them sometimes, you just need to know when.

[@GDCreatorSchool]

These are guidelines, not specific rules; for example all games have mechanics in them. Knowing how to adapt them to your particular circumstance is an important part of being a creator ^^
