maybe i underestimate how broke the average gd creator is, but even in the best case scenario where echo delta won the space gauntlet and each creator got their third of the $1,000 first place prize, is that worth it when they had to release what could've easily been the level of the year in such an unfinished and clearly rushed state?

i think it goes without saying that the first half is phenomenal; no other level in the top 20 does such a good job capturing the lonely, desolate vibe of space, and the megastructure you enter hits that primal urge of feeling impossibly large in a way i truly love. so after such a great start it's a shame that the latter half drops off in quality so hard. audieovisual has gotten a lot of shit because the parts he had the most obvious involvement in were also the most rushed, but really i wouldn't expect any creator in the world to make a good part under the time constraints audieo said he was under. this level just should've been delayed
