- In this video I tell you basically everything I had to go through in order to be where I am right now in Geometry dash.
The cost of being a good creator may be a little too high, but if you take it slow, you will eventually succeed.
I really hope you enjoy this video, thanks for watching :)

As a professional artist in my free time, I agree with all your points: How many beginners usually like their own creations no matter the quality, how most people have art criticism (constructive and non-constructive), the negatives of social comparison, and going out of your comfort zone! You are a legend and I am glad you have made a mark on the community! 👍
Move trigger: move block.
The creator: Im the best.
@@justanleo4800 Exactly lol
Doesn't professional mean its your job?
@@wornyt No, it just means that you are proficient and completely skilled with that subject
Dude I hate everything I make. I just see it and in 2 days see how bad it is
I think the experiences you're sharing here are very relatable, and the advice you give at the end is really helpful as well, these are definitely some things I wish I understood back when i first started creating. Awesome video man
I agre soo musch

ITS BLI omg
yo bli commented?
I always felt bad about how bad of a creator I am, but I totally agree with everything you said! After being in the community for a few years, the pressure stopped getting to me as much and I learned to do what I enjoy. I still suck at creating, but at least it doesn't cripple my motivation as much as it used to. TL;DR: Nice video :D
I think the hardest thing to deal with as someone gets better at creating is realizing that they really aren't that good, and once you actually understand what is good and what is really bad it can be hard to live up to the expectations you not only et yourself, but feel like others are expecting of you to consider you a good creator. I'm glad someone like you, who has reached a pinnacle in creating was able to make a video like this. Super helpful not only with my mindset but also my own motivation :D
Becoming better at creating (at least for me) ruined playing other people's levels. Expectations for me to create masterpieces have gottten me to expect masterpieces from everyone else.
@@Dolphe I think for a while I started doing that too, which is why I only liked creators like Synd or Knots or Xender Game, but then Wulzy came along and idk what he did but it changed my mindset a lot
yoo hi
Mesmo sendo um criador de conteúdo ou níveis não reconhecido, a vontade pra criar algo pode ser grande, mas a desmotivação acaba sendo um dos maiores problemas. Belo vídeo
Eu lembro que no começo, nos meus primeiros níveis, em uma parte de nave, eu usei um trigger de movimento pra um bloco ir pra trás e depois rapido na direção do player, e depois que eu fiz me senti o melhor criador kkkkk, pq é muito bom fazer algo que parece complexo e terminar.
@@justanleo4800 lol,eu tava criando criando um nivel a pouco tempi atrás,e tipo isso mesmo

Dude, this video is REALLY helpful for me. Lately, I have been really unmotivated and can't bring myself to building any decoration. I have basicaly given up on creating. This video has inspired me to open up GD again and try to make a level. I hope I don't fail again though.
One thing you gotta know is you will always fail in the eyes of someone (except if you're bli or xender game lmao), but what's important is that you don't fail in your own eyes, your opinion on your level is what matters the most and even if others don't like it, as long as you do, you have succeeded :)
@@imarandomperson761 thanks a ton bro! i made a level today and i am super proud of it, plus, other people commented how much they like it too! here is the id if you wanna play it 91,39,12,47
@@PixAGMD it's decent ! You've got good designs, surely one day you'll be making memorable levels :)
(Btw only thing I would change is making the player not hidden at the beginning)
@@imarandomperson761 thanks for the feedback, i have been feeling like i wanna do that too so i will soon!
I agre soo much
I remember the first collab we were both involved in-Inherence by Jooj and Wespdx. We never really talked, but I still always saw your style as being very distinct and recognizable.
I did try to start my own creating career, but I never really got that far, unfortunately. I’m very glad you were able to push past your barrier and really create for yourself.
I think your push to create what you wanted, to create your own distinct style, even shows in your content creation today. Everything you do is very unique and identifiable. Keep up the great work :)
I wanna mention that I actually knew you way before inherence. I remember when I tried to join team galtexo and was refused LOL but got into the team afterwards
thanks for this comment, I really liked reading it, and tysm for watching the video!! :)
I ain’t reading allat 😭
No way it’s my favorite classic fedora wearing TH-camr
inherence referencia wtf
@@GDJoojmiguel joojmiguel reference wtf
I am inspired from every your video. When I need ideas for decoration or something else, you are often the first creator that I watch. Keep up the amazing work :)
How to make featured levels: Pick a good song, waste hours trying to place multiple pulse, move alpha, and spawn triggers which actually sync, make multiple designs, add lots of glow/background/block/everything detail, have no missing block corners, don't make any excessive/not good looking/bad/likely to be critically commented on/copied/non-original parts at all, profit from creator points, earn a side debuff of people asking you to decorate their 1.1-decorated levels.
Belo vídeo. A maior parte da toxidade dessa comunidade é nos feedbacks de deco. Geral falando pra ti o que você tem que fazer meio que mandando na tua propria criação.
This is why I love making GD challenges. I just make gameplay that I get from an idea, and then polish everything. There were a few that were pretty bad, but I still try new things.
I feel totally identified with this video, I've lost motivation for creating more than a year ago and it really is striking to see you went through something similar and succeeded in overtaking the situation. You know, we have a lot to learn about this video, stuff like not taking the game seriously or not taking all feedback as an absolute truth are things that have been turning this game into a job for a long time and that's just not what I want for this game.
Not only all of this but I've also been less motivated for literally anything lately, outside of GD, so hearing you talk about this and telling us your experience is really, and I mean, really relieving.
I Know The Way You Felt When You Started Creating. Me, I Struggled Alot And No One Would Like My Levels I Tryed To Create Something I Liked But Never Got That Motivation. But That Quote At The End Of The Video , Really Got Me To Keep Going . Hope I Succeed One Day In My Creations . Plus I Create On Mobile Sadly So Its 10x Harder . But Because Of You. Ima Keep Going .
I feel you, i also used to be in creating a while ago, i still am, but i feel kinda forced to actually think what i want in a level, this is really difficult since most of my preference is based on criticism i got being a child and I'm still not sure about that I'm making a right decisions in my life, in creating levels... i am shure i got the concept wrong so i cant progress, but your video helped me figure all out, thanks for being my favourite creator youtuber in gd
I've been playing for 9 years now and literally hundreds of times by now I'd start a level and quit because of putting so much pressure on myself to build a good level and I never ended up creating much more than a layout or a 10 second part. This video was really helpful, I really hope I can make levels I enjoy someday and that others may enjoy as well. And congratulations on becoming a "good" creator after so much hard work, you really deserve it :)
What you talk about in this video is the absolute truth. I most definitely cas relate to most of the things you said here. My goal as a creator at first was to get as many CP as possible, i was just creating for CP. After releasing my level "Hyper" i wanted it to ger rated so bad. But after the first month i lost hope, 3 mod sends, but still no rate. I was so demotivated.
After a while i realized that I had fun when it came to the creating process and bringing my levels to life. I then gave up on the goal to get cp and instead focused on the fun aspect of creating and improvement!
Later on my level finally got rated, i was so happy, it motivated me so much! I just kept creating and released another level called Cyber Blues, it also got rated but it wasn't as exciting as before.
At that moment i realized my goal in this game: To become the greatest creator Geometry Dash has ever seen by creating levels that take players on a journey of the worlds i create in the game whilst having fun doing what i love!
Appreciation is relative; if you make something to your liking as a brand new creator, you’ll be proud of what you made no matter what because deep down you subconsciously know that you did the best you could, and that that sets the bar for what you think is good. If you send that same thing to an old creator, they wont be able to appreciate it as much as you can, and the second you see a better level your internal bar will be raised and you’ll suddenly think your level is crap.
Part of being a creator is testing around. Your first level will be crap, as your second and third and fourth, but you’ll slowly get better. If you don’t want to face that, being a creator isn’t for you.
Great video as always, man!
Also, for not getting demotivated, even if i wanted to be a good creator, it can't happen in the blink of an eye. I literally had NO hints of how the editor worked (i was placing blocks under the ground) but i think the most important thing in the journey is as you said, to enjoy what you do. Personally, i went from someone who can't place blocks correctly to a creator with a community that say my levels need to be featured. The journey was maybe 4 years long, but as you said, you have to take it slow :)
I love your work vit12. You really stand out.
Thank you for making this video, It really inspires me to become the creator I want to be.
this is why i always combine my carrer as a star-grinder and a creator, while grinding stars, i always look for 3-5* levels so i can focus on details on that level while playing, and compare them to my level, i always took the inspiration on levels with simple design like Split72 and more because i do modern-themed levels.
A lot of you you said resonates with me although I never really got frustrated with feedback. I've always tried to keep improving in the face of criticism to try to become one of the best geometry dash creators. At some point, nearly everyone can applaud a creator for being the best, but to that creator, it is never enough. I've always faced a lot of pressure to only build "masterpieces" and if I don't live up to that expectation others would be disappointed in me. This had led me to expect masterpieces from myself, starting an endless cycle. One of my projects has taken over 3 years and still counting. Although it is excessive, I genuinely feel like I HAVE TO keep building and spending years on projects. I feel like what you get in the end is nothing compared to the amount of effort one puts into the level, which is really depressing. Many creators go unappreciated yet have such high standards placed on them.
The best advice I have to get good feedback is to dm some creators personally. I find that servers like GDCS are either too nice or people just dont' know what they are talking about.
I’m so thankful that you made this video. I was just pushing my self way to hard making something I expected would look good and after scrapping it.
I'm glad you understood that it's just a game after all and you're supposed to enjoy it, slightly improving your skills of building or level slayering. You might've actually inspired many people with this video. I honestly think that you're such an amazing creator. Not even gonna lie rn, I sometimes look at glow levels and recognize something close to your style and think that you could improve it a lot. Never be disappointed in yourself. We all grow up and improve, things take time to be achieved, but as we're achieving it, we must enjoy the process.
You're my idol at creating.
I'll never forget the duo parts we made together, keep up the good works ma guy !
I really liked your happy spike design! It reminds me of my childhood!
Ever since I started watching your videos, my decoration has improved and I'm actually finishing projects now!
Made me cry because vit12 gave me every single idea of gameplay and design
Thank you this video made my day better,I really happy being a gd creator
this video is really well put together. i love the message you incorporated into it, just having fun is all that matters. a lot of people don’t get this when they play games, but it’s so important to just have fun when you play games. play your own way, and do things that make YOU happy, and play games with people that you know you will have fun with. there is a lot this video can convey with just one topic. i love it
you’ve earned a sub :)
I can definitely relate since I went through a similar thing with How To Build Like, after I finished making those videos I realized how demotivated I was, and I stopped making levels for like 3 years after that. When I stopped caring whether what I was making was "good" or not was the most freeing thing for me I'm having a lot more fun building now. I'm glad I wasn't the only one with that same experience.
I've been watching you not too long. You have amazing work! Sometimes I get inspired by them. I want you to enjoy creating. I believe and support. Good luck! Demotivation really demotivates😕
dude thank u this made me cry cuz i quit the game 5 times i almost leave my level unfinished so i quit i always thought to myself ill be never good at creating i dont know my own style so if i try experimenting i get scared that its gonna be bad so i always give up i try to satisfy myself by playing a another game and hiding it but the feeling inside my gut keeps saying im not good enough i always have inspiration but never get the quite good look of it but after all of this i still feel that im a bad creator because i cant even make a generic style everything i do gets ruined for me. I only felt i like it twice in my life but never finished it and it was all a layout level i try to decorate it but it just doesnt fit so i gave up and never came back on it i know that i was creating for almost two years but i still coudnt make a generic level so thoughts like i can never make a good level came into my head so i always get demotivated.
You inspire me so much in creating and helped me learn new styles when I was demotivated and I watched your videos, thanks a lot man!
Another amazing video of an amazing creator ! I love your work vit. This is so helpful, I lost motivation in decorating levels in the last couple months, I felt like I couldn’t make anything good. This made me try again :)
Absolutely agree with this. I'm always telling people to not take the game too seriously and just do whatever they want, whether that is making simple things, improving, making something unique or making layouts, whatever they want to do. Nice video as always :)
That one joke video you made on how to make good block design actually helped me develop a style that Im gonna use a lot more
Thanks for this video, I really needed to hear some advice.
Been a while that I was inactive, but I believe it is time to return with a brand new vision.
I love ur videos bro keep up the work!
Having high standards while not being able to create anything that pleases you is a horrible thing which a lot of creators have to go through. It is taking the fun away but also makes you better after a while. Going through the same thing but im still having fun somehow
Tbh your style really does stand out (at least to me) you make really good stuff and you inspired me. Plus i got some advice from this video, you're a really good creator and i hope that you keep on succeeding!
I relate to this a lot more than I thought I would. I struggle with taking every suggestion as a demand, something I have to do.
I spent like a year making random, terrible decorations, hoping someone would eventually say I made something really cool. I even got into minigames, thinking that creating them would impress people, but they never really did and my decoration was still terrible. I couldn’t take feedback at all - I’d lash out and insult anyone who didn’t compliment the things I made, coming up with lame excuses for why what I made isn’t bad.
So here I am today. I don’t know how good my decorating skills are because I usually am too demotivated to build. I have a hatred for the creating community because of its ridiculously high standards, as well as a hatred for any level or creator that is consistently good (White Space (XenderGame), Change of Scene (bli), CuLuC’s part in Emerald Realm, etc.), because I feel like they’re stealing my chance at getting recognized as a good creator.
I have made some decoration of which I and my friends have actually really liked, but it’s nowhere near the immaculate levels I imagine in my head all the time.
My plan for now is likely to force myself to build a full, rateworthy level. I feel like getting a rate will motivate me to try my best.
"Just cause they can build good, doesn't mean you can."
That's what the haters say. Listen to criticism, not hate. (You're doing great btw)
HOLY SHIT I RELATE TOO MUCH WITH THIS VIDEO! The main thing that affected me was collaborations tbh. I would really do my best to improve in the game, take lots of negative and positive feedback for collabs, to the point where I got so used to it that when I tried making my own levels, I'd instinctively delete shit if it wasn't good enough. I have thrown away atleast 14 solo projects in my whole time playing this game (19 more if you count normal layouts), and there is only one where I am doing now and decided "Fuck it Imma just create for the fun of it". I didn't want to just make something random for no reason, but I am making it solely to piece my own ideas together to create something that a regular gd player would enjoy.
i recently finished my first level, and i basically experienced all the stuff mentioned in the entire first half of the video lmao, thanks for the video it definitely made me feel better about my level
I'm gonna be completely honest with you, this video literally made me tear up. I couldn't relate more to the things you said about the feedback you got. I would literally cry and get very mad when I got feedback like that. One tine I fought with a staff member about it (I act impulsively a lot) and I got a warning. From then on I kept my feelings to myself and pretended to appreciate the feedback I got without saying that it really hurt. However, when i noticed your videos, it was a great help and now I am creating actually good looking levels, and now I just stop asking for feedback because I really feel like I don't need it. Thanks for everything you have helped me with.
I agree. Its not bad to take it slow, and its good to do things you’re scared to do because of other peoples criticism
man, this is super super relatable, i have experienced everything you said in this video, from creating everything and thinking it was good, getting upset from people's advices etc. really good video vit!
The hard part of creating is definitely continuing on a level! Its something that carries outside of the game, you have an idea and you do it until you hsve another and then you drop it…
I could have had a feature years ago if it wasn’t for it. I’m glad I’m finally leaving that though. But I just wish it happened years earlier.
Also make what you want! Don’t conform to people. Or compare yourself. Some people are just insanely talented and comparing yourself to others will most times hamper your progress. Demotivation can ruin everything.
My biggest motivation are people like you ❤
"Because... For me... Having fun... Is the only thing that actually matters." ~Vit12
Really beautiful dude!
imo ur like one of my favorite creators if not my favorite
You are the most inspirational creator to me, I am working on a level right now (my best work lol), and I am dedicating this to you and a few other youtubers that inspired me. Thanks bro!
Taking creating seriously is a massive double edged sword. From experience you learn really fast and improve a lot but your fire quickly burns out because of your massive standards for yourself. I started to take creating seriously a little over a year ago and i went from a subpar creator to what I do now and for a while i felt good about my progress but the burnout quicky came to me. Even right now im going through a tough burnout and i really have no motivation to creat which I feel awful for. Its a really hard barrier to get over as a creator and I congratulate you for over coming that. Good video and really puts the severity of this to a creators mental health
I agree, demotivation is easy to happen, mostly because GD has so many generic and unoriginal levels to the point having motivation to make something original is very low.
Same here man. I'm currently stuck on that same raft trying to find my way out. Although I do see light at the end of this tunnel it took nearly a year to break out of it. Even then, I have no idea if I'm seeing the sweet rays of the sun or a street light mimicking a false hope.
Btw, your videos have helped me a lot and I'm starting to see progress in my creating. I can't thank you enough.
i think this is a way that every creator should take, i am on this phase atm as a improving creator. i really felt it when you say seeing a creator better than myself make something spectacular it would make me demotivated and feel terrible about my self, as i go on i will always watch your videos because not only it helped me in creating its really entertaning to watch its hard to find gd creator youtuber as entertaining as you, with love, thanks Vit12
Relatable on god
The major demotivation sets in at 2 different points. When you realise how long the journey is and when your own standards are too high. This happens to me way too often.
But I personally enjoy creating because of how much it can force you to be creative + overcoming demotivation is motivating.
You are my main inspiration, keep up the good work my man
You're still WAY better at creating than me. My designs are very simple yet ok looking, fitting more in 1.9 than in 2.1, and even if I do make a good level it takes months. I just can't be bothered to finish my levels, they can be put off indefinitely, many unfinished to this day, the only good levels I actually finished being Nightly Fantasy and Cluttered Travel, with Cluttered Travel being unverified for ~13 months before I beat it. And then I rebeat it a few times. Also, I quit the game a few times, but am kinda coming back, recently having beaten Electrodynamix (and then rebeating it twice after).
Thx man I was struggling with creation due to some criticism from others but ur video has always motivated me, thank you❤
This advice is actually really helpful, thanks.
I'm trying to get better at creating rn, but its kinda hard bcs I want to make memorable levels at the same time. I want my levels to be experiences as well, you know? I often get demotivated by this, not exactly out of defeat but more out of fear. I usually finish a layout part, and have this really perfect level in mind that I want to create. But its too fuzzy, and I can't actually make out any of the details. I then stop working on it cause I'm worried it won't live up to what I want it to.
So yeah, hopefully things work out, and thanks for the heads up about the nightmare to come.
Hola cómo estás eres mi TH-camr favorito un saludo.
Por cierto decoras genial
absolutely great video. i totally understand demotivation. while maybe not in decoration .every time i start a layout i barely ever finish it. and i feel like finishing it but just my whole mind says no. its really frustrating actually. like I have a really good plan on a lvl but then in and hour or so all the motivation just drop to 0%.
I definitely agree man. I used to have such a strong desire to become a really good layout creator. I constantly tried to join collabs to get my name out there, but it never really paid off. I also constantly tried to get feedback on my layouts just like you did and had a very similar experience. However, about a year or so ago I watched a video from Marwec as I was super inspired by his style at the time. Someone in the comments asked how he got as good as he is. He responded saying to just make something you like. He never really looked for feedback anymore and just made what came to his mind. This really inspired me. I also stopped joining every single collab and tried to make more solos. The main stuff I’m working on at the moment is some of my best work ever. For once I actually feel genuinely proud with my works and have desire to grind out solos. Sadly it’s been difficult though as I’m a college student and have many responsibilities. Luckily I’m on summer break, so I want to finally finish my current projects!
I always feel demotivated from creating things seeing what others are capable of, so this video really helped me. Thanks!
Vit12, youre my main inspiration to create levels, i hope you can get MUCH better! thanks ;)
Edit: oh wow! Tysm for the heart! I wasnt expecting It :)
Woah, and my goal is just to make 1 featured level. But who knows...great video, really self-aware! But at the other side, I'm really sorry you had to go through that, cuz I know it's really frustrating. Anyways, I wish you the best luck!
One last thing: If you're starting with GD creating and want to achieve a featured level, you really should take it slow, but mainly make levels just for fun. CP will come for sure! :)
Ive been creating and playing this game since late 1.8, and my goal has always been to become a good creator like you or samifying, and while I feel like im noticably better, sometimes I still feel down about all of the stuff I make. Like theres times where I torture myself because I feel like ive been doing it for so long, but I just cant. It feels like people are born with a natural talent that I just, dont have, that or its a basic skill everyone has that I dont by default. One of my irl friends, who is entirely focused on playing rather than creating, got into the editor because of me. And, its safe to say, he's definitely 100% betterthan me in every way shape and form. He started using it in late 2.1, YEARS after I started and he's already better, and its a huge demotivating factor. I dont understand how you can deal with it constantly
I love u vit ❤❤. Now I can finally try to get my first creator point without people telling my stuff that is bad. I’m a good geometry dash player but my goal in my life is to get a star rate, thank you so much for making this video ❤❤❤❤
I know what you mean. It can be SO demotivating from time to time. But yeah, you just need to never give up and create in a way that makes You happy.
O legal é que isso transcede o jogo, e se aplica a basicamente qualquer coisa. Excelente vídeo.
I heavily relate to this video. Ive always wanted to improve and get better and better with each level I built, but it demotivated me a lot because it was hard to do that consistently. Eventually I said screw it, accepted that my creating abilities arent the best, and lowered my standard a bit, and im glad I did! I can still build cool things, but not worry about the finest detail. I no longer spend over a month to build a level 👍
i have a lot to say about this video, all positive, but due to language barrier, it's kinda hard. All i want to say is thanks for sharing this. I relate to the beginning part of the video, where i want to create masterpieces in GD that everyone will remember, levels like Lit Fuse, ISpy, you name it. But i know it would take a really long time. I'm currently finished the layout of my 2 minute level, though it's been rough decorating it. i don't know when it will be released, in the state where i'm quite proud of my own works, but i hope it will, maybe one day.
God i love that last minute and a half. I feel that all who are creators should really hear it!
Haven’t touched the editor in eons, thanks for making this it’s just the incentive I need to give the editor another go, might try to make something sentimental and or unorthodox, and again thank you videos like this really do help reignite motivation 💖
As a rather newer creator, this is indescribably accurate. Trying to make a level that impressed others made me overall demotivated and I stopped creating. I eventually returned nearly a year later (I took a break from June to January), this time keeping the lvl I started mostly secret except for a few close friends. This was the best thing I did as I found it much easier to create a lvl on my own terms than that of others who would probably never even play the lvl. Surprisingly, that lvl turned out to be my best yet!
Another big part was building the lvl slowly, which definitely made it easier to stay motivated. That and being happy with how much you have finished, and not worrying about how much is left. All of those made the creating process more smooth and enjoyable.
(Also... was that music at the very end nostalgic to anyone else?)
thank god there wasn't a random outro to break the moment, i feel like this will actually help me a bit
I needed this lol. I’ve been on the grind for years
The key to overcoming this is to try to look at yourself more and less on the potential player who will play your level
I've been building on Geometry Dash for 2 years. I just build a few levels just for fun. But one day I realized that all this time I still couldn't make a GOOD block design and BG design, and I was getting tired because there was no progress. Because of that, I quit of Geometry Dash for 3 years. Then at this point, for some reason some video of Geometry Dash levels reappeared on my TH-cam recommendations (including videos from your channel). I tried to see it again, and I started to be motivated to try building level again in GD. Maybe I'll just take it easy for now without any pressure from myself.
Slow progress with fun is better than fast progress with depression
Everyone has this problem even me. No matter what.push through. If u can do it. Try to do it.
As a beginner music producer, I can say that demotivation is complicated, recently I don't feel motivated to produce, it's not because of the low numbers of views/streams, I just don't like the result, I don't feel motivated to produce anymore. Honestly, I don't see any more reason to produce recently, most of my projects I start doing, I don't even get to the middle of the song and I stop, close fl studio and repeat that, new project, I do something, and I realize that it's not getting good and I close the project. I was never one to ask people for feedback, I mostly watched tutorials on how to do better things, because a certain "feedback" that I received was something that I simply felt humiliated, but it helped me a little, that's when I started to understand music in theory. Anyway, producing music is something I like, when I want/I can finish it. Nice video btw
Fantastic video. Perfecty encapsulates all the negative aspects of learning to create in this game, and made me really motivated to create. Great job!
This is my 2nd time typing this due to my browser crashing for an unknown reason but I really wanna talk more about the issues you listed in your video. Starting off the criticism against creators not providing any feedback whatsoever and just being a a hole in general to other creators has become such a massive issue for the creating community as a whole being almost the biggest issue whilst being a creator. I myself am a gameplay/decorater in the game and have dealt with this issue a lot. I showed someone my decoration for a level I was making and got entirely crapped on by them just talking about everything in it being bad and even making it like an essay long with like A+ english grammar which I must admit was extremely tedious yet I got over it quickly. However, I've seen crazy cool and good creators in the game leave due to this issue and actually get heavily affected by it. For all we know some of these creators could have even suicided because they think they have no purpose in this world when deep down they did and someone made them think they didn't. Now onto the 2nd biggest problem in creating which is demotivation. I heavily agree that being demotivated is such a big issue in the creating community because it causes creators like me to drop phenomenal projects just because we think we should be doing something else with our life that doesnt truly make us happy and proud of what we do. Its been truly awful for me since I can hardly have fun creating because I just think that im always unfit to be a creator when nobody truly is unfit to be a creator. I bet a ton of the levels we are excited to have released soon are taking longer than usual because of having loads of demotivation on their projects that they end up sometimes deleting them entirely. I used to be annoyed at the fact levels weren't getting released when I expected them too so I'd get mad at the creators when I was younger but now that I'm older, I care more for the creators than their actual levels. I also think everyone should take this into consideration and think about the creators, not the levels. Mainly so that people understand why they aren't being finished and maybe even have the power to motivate them into finishing their projects. To sum it all up, a win in creating is having fun and being proud with being productive of what you create, even if most of the community hates it. With all that being said, this video is absolutely phenomenal and I hope that you can continue to be as happy and motivated as you are now to pump out universal masterpieces. Excited for what you have to offer Vit12.
I just started making geometry dash levels, and I was truly affected. I always thought my levels really sucked so I kept deleting everything, not knowing that I was slowly crippling my motivation to even try. But you showed me how wrong I was to do that. So, I really thank you for the motivation. Thank you :,) P.S: You're levels cool 👍
I was really demotivated due to me being unable to create something somewhat good for today's standards. Now I've realized that my first works might not be very good, but that I should appreciate at least what I made. Thank you for this video.
I want to be good creator someday but i have very high standarts and this demotivate me a lot i cant make any deco that i really like. Your videos helped me very much. Now i start to create and i did my first spike deco that i like. Thx you vit12
You are a doing a service. Thank you for this ❤
After what i heard from you i felt really bad ❤ heres a new sub!
Its like you're reading my mind with these videos, currently trying to make a part super worried about what people will think about it
This advice is very relatable in many other art fields, thanks!
I rememered the moment when I was making a level by my own it was looking good to me and my progress on the level was almost done but when I stop creating and playing featured levels and getting negative feedbacks I feel my level is not good at all. The effect of demotivation I just deleted my hard worked project... After watching this video I really understand. maybe I will never bring back the levels I deleted but I can forgive them by making a level by true ways THANKS BRO ❤
Wow! Even as a amateur, I get affected by demotivation a lot as I can't make what I am imagining. Thanks for inspiring me!
(P.S. I dunno whether to make a level using アニマル by deco27(micomet cover)(high pitched to avoid copyright) or not because it doesn't seen like conventional gd music but I really like the song.
This is actually a way bigger problem than some may think.
As someone who's been also creating for 5 years, (since i downloaded the game) I can relate to this. I only improved after 2 years of creating after receiving feedback and honestly I'm proud of what I've done but as time passes, I've been losing motivation to create... I am a multi-style creator so I am not as good as you or anyone else since I am not good at every decoration at all... I fully lost motivation after I got my second rated level because I ran out of ideas and I don't feel like creating anymore... Well that is until a month ago, I got back in the game, fully motivated somehow. I create for fun nowadays but I still take my creations seriously. To be honest, I must agree with your advice. Geometry Dash is just a game, you don't have to take everything seriously when it comes to creating. Every good creator nowadays has been through that in the past and look at them now... We we're like them in the past. I think this would be a good advice for new creators. Most likely they will have a lot of potential.
Okay I don't know what I'm saying anymore but as a creator myself, thanks for making this video
emotional video 😭
Good video i really like the diferent tipe of your normal videos
Early, nice, cool. Nice video as always!
