After almost 2 years since my last extreme, over a year since my last demon and over 9 months since quite literally releasing anything in general, I am very happy to announce all of those time periods that I thought would go on forever have finally come to an end. After my short creating grind last year, I was legitimately under the belief that I would never release a new level ever again. I was absolutely burnt out and could not bring myself to build in the editor without getting bored and wandering off to do something else 5 minutes later. While this did go down over time, I still wasn't in the mood to release anything. That was until one day skzyl messaged me asking if I wanted to decorate one of their layouts. Despite being in that burnout phase, I accepted although I said I wouldn't start just yet. I attempted to decorate it twice over the next few months but scrapped both attempts because they looked almost exactly like my 1.9 speedbuilds, besides this eventually became intended to be a Vociferous sequel anyways so I had to make it 2.0 styled. Fast forward to like a month or two ago when I was on vacation and got reminded of this layout again. After recently proving to myself that I was actually competent at 2.0 style (i.e. Turbulent Valley), I decided to stop waiting any longer and began grinding this out.
While the process was somewhat slow overall, I did enjoy building the level at most points. I even learnt a few new things about trigger usage as well, and while there is some room for improvement here and there I definitely believe this is my new best work. Very happy to have a level that represents my true skill in creating today, and I’m ALSO very happy to get something out right before 2.2 & this year. I have some more stuff to say as well but I feel like I'm gonna make this description too long so ima just cut it off here, so yeah massive thank you again skzyl for giving me the opportunity to decorate this (they also helped fix some visual/playability bugs & recorded the showcase as well)! This should be released somewhat soon after playtesting so keep a little lookout for that.
ALSO THE GLOW BEAM NOT ROTATING AT 0:28 WILL BE FIXED I do not want to harass skzyl to re-record the showcase again sorry
