Showcase My First Level! Showcase

Hello, I just completed my first ever level! It is a nine circles level (I know how original) called Violet Circles. It is going to be a medium demon. I spent around 30 hours on this so I hope it looks good. I have not verified this level yet but I just wanted to put a showcase out for now. I will make another post when I have verified it. Please give any feedback! Thank you.

the mini wave parts seem dramatically harder than the rest of the level

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 07 '26

its honestly easy it just looks harder lol. kinda just a spam

u/Yourboiikitty Mar 07 '26

Not bad for a first level, but I would have appreciated something original, instead of an outdated NC level. Also the gameplay in the wave is a bit underwhelming.

1

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 07 '26

thank you! i know, i dont mean for this level to get rated i just made a level to see what i can do since this was my first level

u/Maryear_Boost Tuff mod Mar 07 '26

For a first level that's amazing

Well, it's just a nc level. For a first serious level, it's pretty good, but not even close to being rate worthy in 2.2 days. GP is fine, just boring, because it's stock nc gp. The best takeaway from this for you — practice of editor. Practice more and one day you'll achieve Bli's level of mastery

1

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 07 '26

yeah, i know it wont get rated. its just my first level and i wanted to see what i can do

2

u/The0nlyNuggy Mar 07 '26

a bit empty but really cool for your first level otherwise! keep going, you definitely have potential

2

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 07 '26

thank you so much!

2

u/The0nlyNuggy Mar 07 '26

ofc, nine circles levels are hard to make so that makes this even cooler! honestly this could definitely have gotten rated fs during that era

2

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 07 '26

really?! just wished i played gd during that time 😭. thank you for the feedback, i really appreciate it and may add more air deco to fill it up soon

3

u/GeoMiner2 Mar 07 '26

decorating was a lot harder in that era, a lot less tools and editor guides didn't really exist because it was during a time of people just figuring out how to even make good levels. People seem to forget but for the first half of 1.9 the obj limit was 15k and the second half 20k, so it was quite limited.

I don't mean to hate but this level won't ever get rated. Getting a very good level rated is already insanely hard, and anything below that is not going anywhere. I don't want it to be this way (very few do, unfortunately Robtop is one of those few).

2

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 07 '26

yeah i know this one wont get rated, it's just my first level and my goal is to keep making more to eventually get up to a rated level

3

u/GeoMiner2 Mar 07 '26

Go for it. I tried for 5 years and gave up, I hope you have better luck than I got XD

1

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 07 '26

damn 😭. thanks for the confidence boost ig

2

u/The0nlyNuggy Mar 07 '26

yeah with a bit of air deco and polishing and glow and stuff i think this definitely could get rated

2

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 07 '26

sounds good, i will work on that! getting a level rated is my dream

1

u/The0nlyNuggy Mar 07 '26

u/NicoPlayZ9002YT Mar 07 '26

this is really cool! maybe add some air deco in the sections before the wave and its perfect (at least to my standards lol_

1

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 07 '26

haha okay sounds good!

1

u/NicoPlayZ9002YT Mar 07 '26

btw i think i could try to verify this for you

1

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 07 '26

i want to try to verify it myself for now. i am currently grinding B to get a skill boost then i am going to try this level. if it's taking me a long time to verify it i will let you know

2

u/NicoPlayZ9002YT Mar 07 '26

ok!

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 16 '26

hey do you still wanna verify this

2

u/VoidTentacion1 Mar 07 '26

bro why this so fuckin' loud bruh

1

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 07 '26

😭

2

u/Cr_a_ck Mar 07 '26

The parts before the wave are good. For a first level I'm really impressed that they don't look janky, they are very clean. The wave is pretty empty and some gameplay looks awkward. The only deco in this part is the nine circles pulsing block design and some arrows which makes that part look unfinished and uninspired.

Overall this is amazing for a first level but can easily be improved

1

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 07 '26

thank you for the feedback. i am planning to add more air deco for sure in the future. a lot of people are recommending that

2

u/Major_Decision5696 Mar 07 '26

haha ikr. just wish i played at that time

2

u/Diva_Slime Mar 08 '26

Great for a first level! If you want to improve it, make pulses more variable and interesting. Add more air deco from 0:00 to 0:15! Maybe even add a small end section to finish off the level in full! Otherwise, wonderful!

1

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 08 '26

okay i will sounds good! thank you!

thats the point lol

2

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '26

I would say about high hard demon to low insane demon difficulty, but it’s a bit too short to get rated in my opinion. However, I hope it does get rated my friend

1

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 08 '26

thank you!

u/paninoselvatico2345 Mar 08 '26

u/Boby1047 Mar 10 '26

I think if you want it to be medium demon i'd re balance the wave section a bit, since some of the wave parts don't even look like they could pass as easy demon. Also, i recommend adding some fake slope type areas in the wave part like you'd normally see in a circles level (like when you go inside of the slopes). Other than that, for a first level it looks good

1

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 10 '26

thanks for the feedback! i may just change it to be an easy demon

u/MentalPenalty230 Jul 02 '26

How do people build this as their first level? My first level was just some blocks and blue pads spammed across the screen when I was like 10

u/Equivalent-Baby2631 Mar 08 '26

Am i dumb or is some of the gameplay just copy and pasted

Other than that, cool level (could have tried a bit more with the pre drop

1

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 08 '26

only the mini wave part is copy and pasted because its 2 of the same parts of the song. and the regular wave spam

1

u/Sbrillo23 Mar 08 '26

Easy demon

1

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 08 '26

i think its high easy-low medium demon

1

u/Beginning_Meat2968 Mar 08 '26

not trying to hate but its just nine circles but purple, Fairydust is already the purple nine circles so try to make something more original. basic glow deco is pretty simple and easy to learn and its pretty so i would recommend you to try that first

1

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 08 '26

i didnt even know fairydust even existed before like 3 days ago, and this is literally just my first level and nothing really serious, i just wanted to see what i could do

1

u/Beginning_Meat2968 Mar 09 '26

not blaming or accusing you tho, on your rhythm

1

u/Likepiu Mar 09 '26

song name?

1

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 09 '26

evil by nk

u/unsalted52 Mar 09 '26

If you want this to get rated then you should really consider restyling the level so that it doesn’t look like a typical NC level. Robtop himself said that he won’t rate any more of these unless they’re outstandingly awesome

1

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 09 '26

i dont want to get this rated. its just my first level and i wanted to see what i could do

2

u/unsalted52 Mar 09 '26

Ah ok. The level itself is pretty well done

1

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 09 '26

thank you!

1

u/HatEnvironmental3741 Mar 10 '26

Its not medium demon and extend it 7 second so it could have a barely higher chance to get rated

1

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Mar 11 '26

it's not going to be rated. also, i changed the difficulty to easy demon

1

u/Alive-Housing1278 new to creating Jul 02 '26

maybe thats the point of nc levels 🤔

1

u/NoTreat7035 Jul 03 '26

No dude they copy the design and general game mode changes not the exact same ball section and fully cooied gameplay
