Neat, although personally I think it looks way cleaner without the stars and bricks. As a general rule of thumb, the more blending you use, the less variety there should be in your objects. Unintended overlap with blending can get really messy really fast.
100% agree with you, If I remade this I'd improve the block structure, add hue, use a black base and connectors/more interesting things inside the block, tiered glow etc. and it sort of bugs me that this got popular because I don't think this is feature-worthy anymore and a lot of people are (rightfully) annoyed at the misleading title. Thanks for your compliment though, and thanks for being nice about it :)
Im litrally crying right now, because there are Ytbers who make Tutorials, after 2018, thx man, ure doing a great job, pls make more tutorials, i would wish that u could make one with Level Details that ure Level doesnt seem Empty
honestly tho 5 minutes for 1 second is nothing, at that rate you could have an entire "long" level built from scratch in 5 hours which is RIDICULOUSLY fast... even a generic, mediocre level would be expected to take 10-15 hours, and the best levels often take many, many months of dedicated work
@@cocoafox That's the issue. Why does it have to take so much time to make a level that's accepted by the community? The standards are stupidly high these days. Of course I'm going along with it, but I just wish it wasn't this way.
@@MrPatrickbuit i think it's kinda inevitable, given the circumstances. everyone has had the exact same editor tools at their disposal for over 3 years now, since 2.1 was released; there have been no new challenges or features to explore since then. the only thing people have been able to do is keep practicing and building, gradually getting better and better at using the tools of the game. as more people learn how to make better levels, the threshold of what defines a "good" level has nowhere to go but up
All of your tutorials are really helpful and they have definitely helped me to be a better creator. Glad your becoming more active on RUclips. Keep up the good work 🙂
@@ThatOneGuy-qw1xx Mine is Irelandian but I know your not talking about me.... I do have a layout though and sometimes I make layouts. Making one rn :)
Every time I make one of these tutorials I always seem to find a way to make much better block design later :l ah well, guess we might be seeing more tutorials in the future...
This looks like something straight out of Aspire Edit: To avoid triggering DanZmeN, I challenge you to make an amazing block design without glow (unless it’s black)
Check my profile "JustPip"... you might like the modern block design "trying modern" there :) | I've never made modern designs so its definitely not my best work, but I tried
This guide is wrong. I got epic, not featured. (Edit) Guys, this was a joke. i really didn't get epic, let alone featured. This was just something stupid that came in my mind. I hope you guys understand :) (5/27/20) Edit 2: now looking back to this, almost a year afterword, i realize how cringy this is (2/4/21)
I literally knew EVERYTHING about gd and how to create cool levels and everything but I haven’t played it in 1 year so I’m tryna get the hang of everything nowowowow
this looks fantastic! I recently came back to GD after months and tried making some block design, its okay but this is AMAZING! and blue is my favorite color so +1 I think i'll use this
FREE ADVICE: The blending fits good but on the thick base, some spots are brighter than others. And the stars look a teeny tiny bit out place. (JK) Also if you do the rainbow effect with it, it will look incredible
as a glow creator myself, i can give a couple tip aswell. 1. make the design more interesting than just simple squares and rectangles, try adding sort of pipe shape or maybe add some slopes. 2. dont worry about the colours from the beginning too much, since you also pulse the objects black to give a similar effect than pulsing the colours. hopefully this helps at all.
Ok so basicly: Make it any size, add glow, add shiny things, - 3:25 add colors, yeah. tags: #blending #copy color #detail #s-k-i-l-l-s #shiny #spikes #geometry dash #level
Bread Gamer This is very true, experimenting is one of the best things to do to get better, however time consuming. I’m gonna be honest here, I cringe looking back at some of these designs, but what is good about these tutorials is that they help people get familiar with the editor a little more.
I wrote most of the instructions :P cuz nobody did it 1. Keep color 1 white and 2 black 2. The Next one color 3 tick the box which says copy color and the one that says blending if you background is add brightness +0.36 3. for next color copy step three but turn the opacity to 0.35 4. make the shape of the your block, then make a thick outline for it, set base color to "3" 5. on layer 2 create a base. In this design, the base doesn't matter that much as its very transparent so pick simple block 6. Start by adding color 3 glow (thick glow) in layer 3 add black fade from the bottom, start by adding the glow as shown. Then set this to layer T2 in edit group. 7. add color 3 glow around the outside. 8. Use decorative objects on layer 4, add them at the 90 degree corners in your shape, you can add them on the outside if you want
I'm making basically glowy 2 but not named glowy 2 and I am worried it won't live up to the original so I need a tutorial on that type of level if you can make it (please)
@@adamlindfors5082 Yes but that block is like 90% glow, there are no blocks that can be smooth if there is just glow. How are you gonna do a background, use glow again?
I’m getting followed by people in gd because of one of your vids made me a better creator and my level became almost rated but keep it up! Also why does this get 655 subs?
I'm bad at following instruction XD I got a sh*tty block XD Welp i guess I have to learn "How To Not Be Bad At GD Builds" Great Video By The Way And.. Thats A Shiny Block :0
I can't belive that you have got only 674 subs. I hope that you will keep recording gd tutorials and also I have got an idea for your next vid: try creating a blood-style because imo all of red demon levels, such as bloodbath or sakupen hell have got terrible block design and I want to see how would you make it. P.S. I'm working on a level and I will propably use this one block design as decoration. Good bye!

Object Limit: *40,000*
Me:"Oh ho, you're approaching me? If so then... please don't, I beg you!"
I heard that robtop's removing the object limit.
@Phobos now that would be a big upgrade for gd
@@its_4life lol finally God Eater can stay
Phobos well sadly my iPad only has 2gb of ram
You: *increase max objects to 80k*
Every time I make one of these tutorials I always seem to find a way to make much better block design later :l ah well, guess we might be seeing more tutorials in the future...
Thank you for helping my levels look way cooler!
Thanks for helping us! Btw I’m ur 100th like on this comment lol
But this is amazing
Yup but i have glow Phobia ):

Well it is called glow design for a reason

Show me the level then,
Nice LMFAO

SAMEE, i hate that clickbait
Wow they lied to us
I cant thank enough people like you teaching the comunity to decorate. Me as a player, really wanted to lern how to decorate, its amazing
Thanks!
Super informative! +1 sub
what u doing here
Yay he’s back!
Me looking at the thumbnail: Omg finally a cool design.
Me after I did the design in the editor: I don't like this.
Same
I literally knew EVERYTHING about gd and how to create cool levels and everything but I haven’t played it in 1 year so I’m tryna get the hang of everything nowowowow
I searched "what not to put in your geometry dash level" and found this
not surprised
GD colon? What not to put in your gd level?
@@babycar3283 yeah
B r u h hello. OH MY GOD SO GD COLON
Lmao
This design looks GODLY!
Thanks Apple! This inspired my own creating style. TYSM for making this!
lmao
@@Kodex360GD listen here you little bi-
thank you!! this really helped me with making my level, been stuggling on how to add glow to the blocks for ages
Tip: Hold shift while pressing wasd to do the micro move on the edit page
this looks fantastic!
I recently came back to GD after months and tried making some block design, its okay
but this is AMAZING! and blue is my favorite color so +1
I think i'll use this
In my opinion, this is one of the best block designs in GD
FREE ADVICE: The blending fits good but on the thick base, some spots are brighter than others. And the stars look a teeny tiny bit out place. (JK) Also if you do the rainbow effect with it, it will look incredible
this is only a simple glow design
Finally a good tutorial that shows the basics of glow blocks
Tysm this helped me so much :D
Thank you. I didnt use your block design but this video gave me lots of inspiration for my levels. This truly helped alot! 👍
Thanks man!
I respect you. This tutorial is very good
Thanks this helped a lot!
Thank you so much dude. This tutorial helped me out so much and now I can use this type of design in my own levels!!
Dude your block design tutorials are amazing, keep up the good work my dude👊
Thanks for the tutorial, it made my maps much more beautiful :)
this will be the best featured level i have ever seen
Thank you, with this tutorial my chances of getting featured are higher now.
as a glow creator myself, i can give a couple tip aswell.
1. make the design more interesting than just simple squares and rectangles, try adding sort of pipe shape or maybe add some slopes.
2. dont worry about the colours from the beginning too much, since you also pulse the objects black to give a similar effect than pulsing the colours.
hopefully this helps at all.
Your a legend!
Finally someone who uses bg colors! It annoys me so much to see tutorials for block designs that really suck to pulse and change color lol
I followed this to make a test level called rainbow cave and it turned out great. Thanks for showing me how to make these.
WTF I am definitely using this kind of block design in my collab! That looks really cool! I am amazed! Good job.
Seeing this tutorial pop up again just reminds me of all of my lost levels Lol..
WHY THIS TUTORIAL IS SO PERFECT THE BLOCK THAT I MADE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL
thanks so much this actually was smooth, had good edits, and helped me a lot
Ok so basicly:
Make it any size,
add glow,
add shiny things, - 3:25
add colors,
yeah.

Looks amazing
Thanks for help, now i can create color madness.
This block design is 90% glow, don't do this it just makes your level lag. Colors are more important than glow
Axelstack glow has color and Can make the color more smooth then just block colors
@@adamlindfors5082 Yes but that block is like 90% glow, there are no blocks that can be smooth if there is just glow. How are you gonna do a background, use glow again?
Axelstack No use blocks and other decorations
I’m getting followed by people in gd because of one of your vids made me a better creator and my level became almost rated but keep it up! Also why does this get 655 subs?
DanZmen wants to know your location:
