hoping for the worst 😭

[lofty axle]

struggling to see what changed

[grim dagger]

dang

i only changed the ship part

[lofty axle]

well, problems are all still there

feels like you copied over a part and barely changed parts of it

[grim dagger]

i really never understood the problems really

[lofty axle]

like flipping it upside down

or changing ground spikes to spikes

[grim dagger]

hmm

[lofty axle]

we are repeating motifs, not entire part ideas

[grim dagger]

i get that we are trying to repeat motifs

but what should i change?

[lofty axle]

i cant just tell you what to change, but what i can tell you is where it goes wrong

[grim dagger]

like i need the portals to be there to repeat the note?

[grim dagger]

hmm

[lofty axle]

theres a whole guide on repretition

[grim dagger]

ik

[grim dagger]

ive read it multiple times now really

[lofty axle]

all the examples of repetition is still varied and refreshing

its just 2 clicks of cube that is being repeated

and those clicks are different each time

this is a motif thats being repeated

[grim dagger]

so are we supposed to repeat movements/ clicks right

[lofty axle]

or structures/level design

but yea

moreso ideas in the gameplay

another example, this section

[grim dagger]

like i can use the same click pattern but make the gp look a bit different ?

[lofty axle]

all of these are one idea

these fast repeated robot clicks are one idea

[grim dagger]

yeah?

[lofty axle]

https://outplayed.tv/geometry-dash/zrgBwl in this level

this idea is repeated for emphasis

three sets of small jumps

so while later on its not EXACTLY 3 pink orbs, its still repeating the same movements

[lofty axle]

the idea is being repeated

a short motif

not entire parts

[grim dagger]

i mean theres an entire part which repeats 3 clicks with the same gamemode

but the thing which makes it good repetition is the different movements right

[lofty axle]

you have all repetition no variation

all of these examples are varied gameplay, with key moments of repetition for emphasis

with you, its all repetition

[grim dagger]

hmmm

[lofty axle]

hold on im not done

oops

[grim dagger]

uh im here

i really need to know what i got wrong

smh rhythm exercises are frying me

😭

[lofty axle]

first swing
pad > 3 clicks > spider orb into pad > change gravity + red orb > two clicks > spider orb pad

second swing
pad > 3 clicks > spider orb into pad > (extra click here) > change gravity + red orb > two clicks > spider orb + pad

note how its ALL the same

except for the extra click

[lofty axle]

ive been telling you what you got wrong this ENTIRE time

💔 💔 💔

[grim dagger]

i got it

😭

im only here to think of a way to fix it later on

[lofty axle]

and yea its not my job to tell you how to fix it

but ive provided lots of examples and clarified myself al ot

[grim dagger]

yea so im only thinking to myself

[lofty axle]

hopefully those help

[grim dagger]

yeah i got it

prob retrying these after a month

[lofty axle]

i do feel like your layouts are only doing the bare minimum and youre kinda rushing them which is why theyre pretty low quality tbh

like, the idea of "what is the least i can do to pass this"

i might be wrong but thats how it looks just fyi

[grim dagger]

hmm i get it

ive been rushing exercises lately idk why

[lofty axle]

exercises are meant to be practice and not chores you rush just to get the loot pool at the end

[grim dagger]

right
