Backgrounds are always an important part in a level. Even simple bgs are usefull to make a level interesting
I miss those days where you didn’t need a lot of decoration to make a featured level.

late reply but I think its because building is progressing and each update there is new things for builders which increase the feature worthiness of a level

make sure the shoes are boots
do not use black glow for shadows, use the base color and shift the saturation up and lower the brightness.

Great tutorial!
Your videos have really made me realize that level creation, even at a high level, can be very simple to do. I always assumed it was very complex, and it really isn't! Thank you for this video, and the playlist "Geometry Dash Tutorials"!

Good Tutorial Incidius
Thanks bro...im good at decorating but bad at bg :)
Wow... that's really cool video. I will try it. Like
This issue with people not being able to make custom backgrounds will be solved in 2.2, since there will be almost double the amount of good looking bg’s for any kind of style. And that could bring the high standard power for more creators to appear.
Cool vid. Probs wont use it as a design creator, but good and well made!
Awesome tutorial mate! :) A tip from me to arts general: AVOID HIGHLY using black or white. Using a lighter or darker color than the base color looks MUCH MORE clean. ;) Another tip: Try using scale hack as much as possible for e.g. plain objects. If you have no scale hack, you can save scale hacked objects from others in the Custom-Objects Tab in the editor. My levels btw have a lot of those objects. Name same as here (Halutena). ;)

most objs look grainy asf when scalehacking, and scalehacking an object too much (like 10x scale) would make it as laggy as multiple objects so use scalehack sparingly

Thanks for tutorial i am so bad at making bg!
I am making a doodley like level and i used outlines to make the A4 paper. The outlines kept killling me. I am also a new creator. Can u tell me what i should use to make the lines and stuff?
He prob says this later on but use a non moving bg and make different design every time the player moves or just make it stay and u make the background template so ur background has different stuff
thx sm
This will be usefull
This is...fast

What are the names of the first level in the background and the one at 4 minutes ?
To make it work for mobile you want it to be 24 blocks wide with the move trigger 9 blocks in
how do i make stuff different color because it keeps changing all the other blocks if i change the same block
i honestly have no idea cause im stupid new to gd i have decent skill [insane to easy demon] and really wanna be a creator ig this gave me a lil info on the game thx alot.

I’m trying to create a simple background but the objects i’m using keep overlapping and going in front or behind eachother
@Incidius
Жыл бұрын
Press edit group and look at the z layer and z order, this is what determines what objects will be above or below other objects. Try to avoid different objects having the same z layer and order as this causes them to overlap. Z order determines the order of objects on the same z layer, objects on higher z layers will always layer above lower layer objects no matter the z order. The only exceptions are text objects and objects with blending colours which seem to ignore z order and are at the z layer below the one you select for some reason.
How do I fix the bg disappearing near the edge?
its weird. I made a tree background but sometimes pats of it go into the background (dark blue) and are gone, it's inconsistent, in editor blocks show up darker and its all annoying.
It covers my entire level... any tips on working that out?

Go to the settings. Press more, and then choose any color channel you want for your custom color. After you have your custom color, select all the object of the bg, and edit object, then select the color you want. Or just go watch a video😊
