One thing I’d recommend is to start making levels in the style of 1.9 or earlier. It helps you get to grip with structuring and design before trying anything fancy
My first level actually level I put effort into was a realistic one similar to emerald realm. It could’ve gotten a rate but I used a the finger dash block too much
I’m new to gd. Started 2 weeks ago. But I spent, 2161 ATTEMPTS ON FINGERDASH! I mean I did skip everything else but I hated It but when I beat it I was so happy!
modern style is not based on Block design lol.... more on color harmony, visuals ,coherent atmosphere and paralax mouvements.... meanwhile glow levels are kinda copy cat and ....."Pulse"
