For a beginner thats pretty good! But maybe you should make a 3d level with raytracing next time. No, seriously, this is SO INCREDIBLE COOL! But tbh i cant really see a big difference between the level at 1000 and 2200 houres of work. Instead of spending these extra 1200 houres to add extra details, i would just work on a new project. But still, one of the best gd levels ive ever seen.

[@abhradeepde2357]

if i cant do raytracing in c++, you shouldnt do it in gd

[@abdx210]

You had me with the first part lol

[@NickAndriadze]

Hate to be the nerd over here, but it's raycasting, not raytracing. Raytracing is solely responsible for generating realistic lighting, meanwhile raycasting is what turns 2D into simplistic 3D imagery.

This takes me back to Xtari 1 all over again and how in awe I was with it. You're really about to activate that same fangirl in me once more ^^

Incoming mythic rating????

[@IlTechnoDashlI]

Hopefully, although I've lost faith in RobTop after Interstice by Bpi

[@thebunGD]

Hmm legendary at least. Possibly mythic but if rob gives this just epic he’s on drugs

[@Human..Being...]

​@@thebunGDHe once gave a Medium Demon type early 2.1 level... an Insane 9* rating. Everyone said: "Yay RobTob got drunk again!" When The Vocab Quiz didn't get rated, you have to wonder where Rob is in the first place.

[@thebunGD]

@@Human..Being... I basically mean that if it gets just epic or lower then Robtop doesn’t know what a legendary rate is

[@Human..Being...]

@@thebunGD Maybe he forgot the difference? Kinda like how he forgot to update the Amazon platform Geometry Dash to 2.2? He probably isn't thinking straight after so much hard work on an update that causes a crippling overwhelming sense when you look at the 1200+ decorative sprites.

[@essiemmo]

I learned a lot from this. I'm a creative person who loves to start new projects, whether it be websites, music, drawings or other things. But in the end I ditch a lot of them because I just don’t plan them well and never really set goals for them. Your approach and execution of starting and finishing a project is just remarkable and I will absolutely implement your methods for myself. Thank you! Also, this level looks astonishing and I love the way you edited this video, great work! ;)

[@Fur0rem]

It's really cool how this video's theme branches beyond Geometry Dash. Hats off to this level and the video.

[@TylevGD]

*Komatic,* I’m a perfectionist who’s been making levels for about 3 years. I’ve been trying to get past this barrier of “I know this detail is small but is it worth the time to change?”, and that, along with planning how everything moves and rotates, definitely boosts my editor time into the hundreds. People usually only watch a showcase of your level once, no matter how much detail is put in there. With that in mind, I’ve been going for realism in levels with more still images. It’s mainly because the timing of movements and rotations are especially difficult to make “perfect”, and sometimes no one’s gonna notice those movements in the background if there’s just… so much going on in the foreground. My recommendations for your level making going forward: I think creating a level that people will remember and not be overwhelmed with, having a simple main idea that’s prevalent, and mainly relying on decoration objects to make something feel “alive”, definitely makes its impact feel gratifying. I treat levels as learning curves and experiments, I never really plan to make “The Level” of my gd history (because that pesky perfection gets in the way). You did an incredible job with Anarchy Road and everything in this level is perfect. Just in the future, I recommend you make levels with the mental aspect in mind, and keep it over the logical and technical aspects of it all. TylevGD (Sorry about this comment being so long, I didn’t have time to shorten it.)

Oh you are koma😂😂good to know

[@Telesecter]

I didnt even know it was possible to stay motivated for that long on a Geometry dash level and i NEED to know how you can stay motivated and full of ideas. However the problem im experiencing is not that i dont get ideas or motivation. The problem is planning. I make plans for each section but i just cant stick with the planning and end up with mediocre generic deco with a copied style. (Help me)

[@GDCreatorSchool]

Honestly, the only thing you can really do to stick to your plans is to constantly reference your plans and make sure you’re fulfilling them. That’s what I do at least

[@Telesecter]

[@GDCreatorSchool]

Thank you! I’m just going off the hour count from GD Colon’s safe file/BetterInfo btw

[@wesleyandrews7212]

24 hours times 90 days is 2160 hours

[@wesleyandrews7212]

If you worked 16 hours per day and didn't miss any days that would give you 112 hours a week. That would lead to 18 weeks of 112 hour weeks for 2000 hours

you should make a platformer level, but it might take a while, but i think you could maybe make a platformer lever better than anarchy road, and you might be able to get the second ever mythic

[@SomeGuyDoesGames]

The trade-off concept really does apply to me well. I’m currently making a poolrooms (Backrooms level 37) themed platformer level, and put tons of detail into it but completely fucked optimisation.

[@Ultermite]

this might even be better than any gd level out there, passing cgange of scene, ispywithmylittleye, what and so many legendary levels. probably worthy for a legendary or even mythical rating.

[@AgentX567]

nah change of scene and ispywithmylittleye tops but the level very close to beating ispywithmylittleye and change of scene

[@ihavefluffcats2471]

white space and rhuzerv tops

7:44 Yes. The SECOND I found an inner circle of experienced people was the time I actually improved. I improved more over the span of 3 months away from the public eye than I ever did in the 4+ years where I asked for feedback from anyone I could find (my level comment section)

[@salmonenthusiast]

i srsly recommend updating the gp or getting some playtesters first. the potential for this level is insane, but the gameplay weighs it down so much its actually ridiculous, would hate for it to become another emerald realm situation

[@GDCreatorSchool]

Do you mind elaborating on how the gameplay weighs the level down? I had numerous people playtest the level thus far and none of them had fundamental complaints with how I approached making the gameplay here.

[@salmonenthusiast]

@@GDCreatorSchool There are a lot of parts that felt unfair and unsightreadable (but since its an art level sight readability is usually a trade off). The structures that hang by chains are pretty janky, especially at 61% and 62%. The path for the 69% ship is really unclear, and playing it felt arbitrary where I would hit my head at random invisible points. The 78% ball works sometimes, it just feels a bit janky as well. The ending ship also feels strangely auto, or that the controls are influenced in a way that makes it awkward to play.

[@GDCreatorSchool]

I’m not sure what I can really fix if the only descriptor is just “janky”, as that sounds more like a personal preference than something I can tangibly address, but I’ll see what I can do.

[@salmonenthusiast]

I wouldn't say the gameplay is level destroying, but its just these little things that add up and really demotivate people from putting up with it.

[@salmonenthusiast]

@@GDCreatorSchool By janky I mean that it just doesnt feel solid. Like some clicks are just half assed guesses that you just hope work, and if you die you dont really know what to.
