This isn't real news, more like abdaal news, longer form notes.

In these articles you can expect to see me talk about things that I have just been on my mind. You should know though that I don't put much research into these.

Have fun reading!

Working on a gd level

I been playing a lot of geometry dash lately. Been beating demons, and watching a few as well. The idea that I should make my own came after I saw this one level called LIMBO. It was released a few years back but the gameplay and aesthetics are so cool that people call it one of the best gd levels ever made.

LIMBO is a memory level, meaning that its pretty much impossible to beat it first try as you have to do a lot of attempts to just figure out the correct route in the first place. It sounds kinda agonizing to play it, but watching it is a whole different experience because all the different paths make the level look insane

My plan is to make a level like LIMBO, but with some of my own gameplay ideas I been meaning to try out. Its been nearly a decade since I made my last level back when I was a kid but making levels is still pretty much the same so I'll only have to learn a few new things. Now that I've secured a co-op, I have a lot of extra time to dedicate towards this. My plan is to set aside time for school, uw asic, and then the rest of my time can be spent working on this level or doing whatever else.

Decorating it is gonna be pretty hard tho, I've never ever decorated before.
