Decisions!

[Coinshower]

I can't choose whether to stay here and make EVEN MORE bad levels or NOT BE HERE for a 'short' forever.

Help...

Listen, please.

It's up to you if you want to leave the site or if you want to stay and improve your skills.

But, hear me: You're just beginning. Nobody starts doing awesome and splendid levels right at the start. Even the best Level Designers had moments like this.

Improving your Designing Skills is just a matter of time and will.

Look at me, as an example. In the beginning, all my levels were mediocre. They all were just a bunch of happy grassy plains with spam of trees and flowers and whatnot, and it was like this for some time, until someone came and said, "This is bad, you can do better." And so I realized I could use my creativity to create something new and fresh. It worked.

And, no, those aren't bad levels. They are just a piece of your history, the proof that you know you can do better. They represent your first step in a different world with many good designers.

So, please, don't leave just because you took your first steps. Because even if everyone is not happy with what you did, they still believe you have potential, and will help you.

I've already noticed that you're a bit sensitive when being criticized.

Don't get overly angry if someone makes a negative review.
Failure is part of life, sometimes it is important to learn from it. If someone makes a rather negative review, just try to understand what he or she is saying, don't rage at it. Try changing what they did not like in the level, and see if for yourself it is better or not. Nobody is making you do this though, just don't start raging at those who made the reviews. In the end, it is pointless.

Seeing that your levels so far have space for improvement (especially graphics-wise) is already a good start. Read any reviews you get (except bluntly offensive and destructive ones like "this is crap. Did you need any more than 5 minutes for it", if you ever get one, report it without turning a hair), they usually tell how to improve, and if you don't know how you can improve by yourself, feel free to ask for help. Or check out good levels, especially the ones in the portal with an average of 4 stars or more (I guess I should have fixed any overrated levels), and LDC levels of course. Skill grows with time.

Also, as you've started awesomely on this site with your welcome topic, people were more willed to review your levels and show how to improve because they see that you have potential. You're surely not one of those portal noobs who make one bad level after the other without looking at any reviews. You can definitely make the same upward development like FF does right now.

Long story short: I wish you to stay and I strongly believe you'll be very gratifying for us.

One more reason to stay: we have cookies

I loved that episode. XD

But yeah, I dunno. These two pretty much beat me to it.

Also, I would know from experience, it takes a long time to make a good level. Not a few hours, maybe a few days, most likely a few weeks. Often times a year.

Well I've been here for years and my levels still take a couple of weeks to fully make. It takes time and dedication.
