NOTE: Thanks to Moffe for helping make the castle background and other details in the dual part!!
I want to talk a bit about just why I put the effort I did into this level.
Back before 2019, I had basically no decoration skills. At least until I mentioned wanting to get better in a voice chat with Farva, and he offered to go out of his way to show me how to improve and some techniques to use to create good visuals. We spent several hours going over every aspect of 2.1 decoration. Afterwards, I was finally able to start really evolving my style because of his advice. I have been grateful to him since then, and in 2021, I was finally skilled enough at deco where he let me into his level "Haunted Corridor" in place of Tobuu.
At the time, I was quite proud of the part. It was by no means perfect, I got quite lazy for the third segment and Farva actually had to fix up my dual part in the middle by adding spike designs and other details. In retrospect especially, I realized how much better I could have made the part at the time and wished I had given it more thought before handing the final version of it over to him.
Then later on, I heard he was making a new sequel to the level, which is the level I am showcasing here today. Wanting to show I knew how to make genuinely good visuals with much better variety and detail, I decided I wanted to push my limits and truly make the best work I could to make up for the blunders of my Haunted Corridor part. For the drop part of this level, I put several weeks of effort to absolutely max out my current potential, and I think I managed to do it. I even went back to adjust some things later, and I really believe I couldn't be happier with the results.
As for the predrop part, I asked to build it myself since the people who offered to do it weren't working on it at the moment and I wanted the level to be finished as soon as possible. I didn't put near the amount of effort I did for my drop part (only about a week of effort), and even went back to it later to add on a lot more to it (you can see my old version of the part in Farva's showcase of the full level. I have since then replaced it with my rehashed version). Regardless, even though I think my drop part is a much better showcase of my maximized potential at the moment, I'm still very happy with the results and think that both parts far exceed the quality of my Haunted Corridor part.
I want to take this moment to truly thank Farva, as without him I don't know if I would have ever really made it into the creation scene, and my style would definitely not have evolved into what it has today as I still use a lot of the advice he gave to me all those years ago. I hope he knows just how much he has impacted my experience with the game and my ability to make what I want to without having to rely on others to do the work I do now. I wanted to contribute to making this level memorable, and I think I succeeded.
Here's to hoping this gets rated, thank you for everything Farva.
