SongID in Geometry Dash: 10011223
Incredibly detailed horror level made in 1.0! Great song representation and unique style/art throughout. Only drawback was the gameplay/balancing for several, but I always found it to be alright for easy/medium demon.

Nostalgic and fun level that spans the entire length of the editor! (12 minutes 52 seconds). Lots of love was put in both the visuals and gameplay enjoyment and its so well-constructed that it doesnt even feel like 13 minutes long!
Please show all of these levels support! :D Both SCHIZOPHRENIA and GDash Universe haven't been rated yet and both definitely deserve to be, so go give them a play!

![[READ DESCRIPTION] Inspired By Hume by SkullyHop (me) (My final GD level)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/u1czakmtXXg/mqdefault.jpg "[READ DESCRIPTION] Inspired By Hume by SkullyHop (me) (My final GD level)
This level is inspired by and dedicated to Hume from the Supertux Development Team.
This is also my final level, and with that, my most meaningful as well. Here, let me try to explain:
(You can also read it here: https://pastebin.com/uRyHtGe7 )
Hume has played a very important role in my creative development. I first started playing the game Supertux when I was 6 years old, and learned very quickly how to play and complete the main story map. From that, I tried working in the editor that the first game provided, but could not really get a grasp on how to use it and its limited features. Rather, I wrote my ideas down in a notebook for when the official game would get a proper editor. Still, my ideas were basic, and rather than explore new and unique options, they stayed similar to the basic storyline without much alteration.
This all changed when I was about 9 years of age. I downloaded and played my first add-on map, Hume’s Islands by Hume. This was a complete game-changer for me, as not only were the levels a significant challenge, they were also insanely unique, to the point where almost every level was unconventional in one way or another. The world map consisted of 49 levels and 35 achievements (a custom innovation built by Hume himself), as well as grouping levels into “zones” based on their theme (ie arctic, dark forest, water, etc.).
I loved playing this collection and managed to beat every level with all achievements about 7 months later. But what proved to be more important than the challenge was the impact it had on my creativity. Now inspired by Hume, my worldmaps designed in my notebook were now wacky and unique, broken down into areas of similar theme. However, it was nothing even close to what Hume’s islands were. You see, Hume and his worldmap triggered a spark I didn’t realize I had: A love for themes and creativity. I started planning out Supertux levels themed after a farm, human anatomy, heck even a pinecone fortress. The only thing that was missing now was a way to make my notebook imaginations become a reality.
Low and behold, 5 years later, I got the full version of Geometry Dash.
Long time viewers of my account would know that my levels never followed modern conventions. I am a completely self-taught creator, similar to Hume, who would showcase one’s creativity no matter how messy, outrageous, or even unplayable it was. Great examples can be found in my 2.0 projects: Water Box, Escape the Room, Honeycomb Hollow (the 2nd bee-themed level in GD besides Honeycomb Runner), Glittering Glory’s Penguin bossfight, Turkey Techno, The TOWER, Christmas Jingle, etc. When 2.1 came out, I continued this pattern of unconventional levels, but more closely aligned to a theme. However, I never forgot about my roots, especially the one’s put in by Hume.
Perhaps the most obvious inspiration from Hume can be seen by the way my levels can be broken into zones, all leading into one another.
For example:
-Winterwind, Frostbitten Ridge, Artic Ocean, Christmas City (not finished), Christmas Jingle, Alaskian North (not finished), Beyond the Summit (not finished).
Similarly:
- AroundTheLighthouse, Ocean Wreckage (not finished), Clover Hills, Lost Cabin (not finished), Sunken Swamp, Gator (not finished), Forest of Knowledge (not finished).
And lastly:
- Hallows Eve (was in progress), GnG (was in progress), The TOWER, Danse Macabre, The Horror Facility, The Missile Factory, Cold Cut Combo, Omega Lily Pad, A Toxic Transaction (was in progress).
Regardless of what I say, it would be impossible for me to accurately describe how much Hume and his world maps have impacted my life. My 7 years of level building would never have been possible without the spark Hume had provided. This is why I have made Inspired by Hume my final level: To go full circle on what first inspired my creations. Thank you Hume for everything that you have created! I am glad to have been inspired by you.
I also must thank LMAnubis, Epic Lucas, and every other themed creator in GD. You are what keeps levels unique and fresh, with a focus of inspiration outside of GD rather than borrowing other’s ideas. I am glad to have also been inspired by y’all!
And thank you everyone, not just for taking the time to read this, but also by supporting me throughout this journey. I hope that you enjoy this level as much as I do!
So now it’s over. An Era has come to an end. Perhaps we’ll meet again some day. But until then, Goodbye all!
~The End~
