Alright, the only reason I'm doing this is because I'm desperate. I've been creating levels for about a year, maybe a bit more; I got my first feature... 4 months ago...? Anyways, one and a half months after that; I released a new level; and two weeks later it was featured again. My goals were finally coming into perspective! My dream of becoming a famous creator didn't seem so farfetched! So I released another level, it hit 80 likes, I reuploaded 3 weeks later, now it has 70. No feature. "Nevermind, I thought, it probably just wasn't good enough". So I released another level (my best work, an effect level), and another (A 3 person collab with my closest GD friends), and another (An entry for Pyro's contest) and another (another effect level, cat-themed). It has now been 2 and a half months since I last got a featured level, and I've been wondering... Is it because I'm a terrible creator? I didn't want to believe that, but maybe I'm losing my shine. The online community and making levels was the only thing keeping me playing the game; and time and time again, my confidence is being pushed down and broken. So, as one last, desperate attempt, I'd like to call upon the level moderators; with the power to bring back my confidence and keep me making levels for the community to enjoy; to send my levels to RobTop. No, they are not in level suggestions, because I don't want to be told that I suck; I've told myself that enough times for it to sink in. So please, level mods, send my levels out of generosity and the goodness of your hearts. Please.

Name: Skyline I know the rules, but please don't move or ignore this thread. I'm asking you as a person, not a moderator with a job to do. Thank you for reading/rating/etc, If you did take the liberty and actually send any one of these levels; please comment below so I can sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart. |

Don't meant to offend anyone, but mods only send levels they think are good, so begging them to send it won't help...

If you know you don't suck, the obvious reason it isn't rated is cuz Rob hasn't seen the level. Just cuz it doesn't get featured or rated, don't automatically assume it's cuz you're bad lol

It's almost impossible to get noticed now without being famous. I made a level a while back which is better than some rated ones. It still only has 26 downloads
Also, you don't suck at creating levels, but, those levels need a lot more effort put into them. All 3 of the levels suffer from a lot of copy paste, and the effect level isn't creative enough. Just my thoughts.

I get the message, I'm not going to ever get another creator point. I don't care anymore, it's too late; I'm quitting GD, not just because of this, but because it's destroying my social life and breaking my confidence. It's probably for the best. I will be publishing 4 more levels, a megacollab, two collabs and a solo/goodbye level. It's been fun, but for what it's worth; thanks for nothing guys xD Ps. Nothing personal, It was time to stop anyway; this process just hurried it along  |

Idk what to say other than to have patience. RobTops rating system is certainly not the best and he misses lots of stuff, even from players with creator points. All of my featured levels weren't featured until at minimum a month after publishing, my most recent is still unrated with 80ish likes. I've had to rely upon the graciousness of level miss myself. If you think your level is good enough, enter it into some contests or submit it as a level request; a lot of the popular GD youtubers send the levels that win or that they like. If that doesn't get you anywhere, then you just have to wait until you get lucky :/

I am not a level mod, nor a level judge, but I might as well drop some opinions. Please don't take this in the worst of thoughts but.. the levels are dull. While playing them, I felt like I was forcefully playing them. Sure, nice effects, but they are not everything. The first two feature a limited viewspan, which does get annoying. As mentioned above, there is a lot of visible copypasting. I found gameplay and sync unenjoyable. Don't get me wrong though - the third level showed potential that you can build. Try to be more patient when building a level, as rushing it will ruin it and try to build a layout that goes with a song first - that will definetly improve your build style  |

Honestly, the first to levels were rather rubbish. Lots of sitting around doing nothing. Bad gameplay and OK design and decoration.
The last level I quite liked and it would be ten times better with some colour changes and minor variations to design and decoration.
But more to the point... Why make a thread about this and then say you're quitting just moments later? A bit pointless if you ask me.

I've been pretty confused about what I should be doing in GD and it's been getting pretty boring. So just making this thread helped me make up my mind, and I got the message pretty quick that no mods were going to send it. And a quick thing about those levels; that's why I just sort-of ditched the thread so quick. One thing about those levels; most of you are saying they are bad, don't have fun gameplay, etc. But that's not what they were for. I made them for fun, to enjoy myself. It is really nice when others enjoy them too. They weren't built to be first page material, but they are certainly better than my other two featured 'gameplay' levels. PS. They aren't my only levels btw xD I have a rated demon and insane too. Basically Skyline-Innovation-Elekitties was learning to make easy levels, which gradually turned into somewhat semi-effect levels. And finally, I'll quote my original message: "Please don't tell me my levels suck, because I've told myself that enought times to sink in" You guys: "Pretty poor quality" "Bad gameplay" "Very dull" "The effects are plausible" Hmm. Anyway, i'll leave it at that and say; Thank you very much for helping me make up my mind.  |

We were trying to be constructive, so that you could be better in the future. You have already made up your mind, so, farewell |

It's because expectations have increased to a point where NO ONE can get famous without already bring popular.
