the great updatening part 2. i forgot this level existed, but apparently it had 349 downloads. it's a simple romp using the concept of "room duality": that is, making your level only two screens tall. this can lead to some funky level design since vvvvvv levels wrap around on all sides.

the biggest thing this update adds is a custom minimap image! i consider this a favor to past-me, who was obsessed with video game maps. to preserve the original vibe of the level, no other assets have been added.

hey all! now that 2.3's fully out, i've decided to go back and do some small updates for all my levels! so i started at the beginning, with stereodimensional, the first level i ever made. (or is it "steriodimensional"? well, not anymore!)

this is a silly little level i made when i was literally 12 years old and revisiting it has been pretty surreal. the level design is simplistic but the dialogue is... charming? i feel like you can chart cultural trends in vvvvvv levels over time, and i would say this level absolutely radiates early dware energy. this weird little level got 508 downloads! this says very little about how relatively popular stereodimensional was and a whole lot about how active dware was.

i might not do my most recent levels, but everything else will get updates over the coming days, so stay tuned for that!

hello. i have made. a cool resource pack. for vvvvvv. it makes it. so that. the graphics are better. they are higher quality. hd. also. the music. and sound effects. have been remastered. for even more quality. enjoy.

That worked, thanks!

A simple five-dollar bet gets drastically out of hand.

This level is a loose adaptation of "The Last Question", a short story written by Isaac Asimov.
Also featuring a little bit of art by mothbeanie!

Hey, I'm trying to post a new level in the VVVVVV Levels board, but it's telling me that the message body was left empty even though it wasn't? I tried disabling ublock, which didn't accomplish anything. Is anyone else running into this problem? (Also weird is that it let me post this here, but for some reason posting that in VVVVVV Levels wouldn't work)

I should stress that the above scenario predates COVID-19!  I originally wanted to release the level on the 20th anniversary of my father's death (that would be January 2019) but... just sort of ran out of steam.

I feel your pain, the next big level im working on has stuff i wrote last year that ended up being accidental commentary on quarantine and blm protests

hi, i worked on this and can confirm it's objectively good

left and right spikes! they actually have a larger hitbox (the full 8x8) whereas up and down spikes are only 8x4, so left and right spikes are more effective

yeah well maybe the up and down spikes being more forgiving is good!!! why do you like killing people so much, HUH?

i think the fancy stuff should be allowed, since this is gonna be exposed to lots of people who don't normally follow custom levels and it'd be fun to show off what's possible

speaking of which, if you're new to custom levels (or haven't participated in a long time) and wanna try making something, Dav999's external editor is a lot more stable and fully featured than the built in editor so it's a nice tool to have: https://tolp.nl/ved/

Are you worried that your levels aren't good enough? Well, worry no longer! This handy level will teach you all the do's and don'ts of making great VVVVVV levels!
There definitely isn't a weird twist to it at all.

overdose was i think the first finished released level to have custom music, but others had used custom graphics before. still, the egotistical part of me thinks that overdose was a trendsetter for the modern era of asset-heavy high-concept stuff, though it's in no way an upgrade from dim open. also overdose is bad, but then again back to vvvvvv is also kinda bad yet it's still very influential and important for its time

also although tolp2 was never completed, it's still interesting to look at as a sort of missing link between the back to vvvvvv/dimension open trend of Really Big IS Levels and the more recent stuff

this is very good

fuckin brutal

hi, i worked on this level and you fools should play it
