Sonic Wave Eternity (SWE) has been an extraordinary effort from me. I started Sonic Wave Eternity close to 2 years ago now. I wanted to make a faithful remake of Sonic Wave. I had only been playing the game for about a year now and I wasn’t all that great at decorating Geometry Dash levels. I decided to use the Sonic Wave Infinity that was the original with the extension. I found out about the level from Fnm04’s youtube channel. I didn’t really do a whole bunch honestly. I tried just kind of making a glow design over the block design and it was just generic and stupid.
Later on in time, a very special girl came to the forefront of my life, my girlfriend Kaylee. We started talking at the end of November, 2022. Kaylee took an interest in me and all of my hobbies. She was quick to pick up on the fact I made Geometry Dash levels. As an artist herself, she started to find what I made interesting. I would go on to show her many different levels that other community members had made. She was incredibly picky with what she found visually appealing and there were very few levels she actually liked. But from the get go, Kaylee adored Sonic Wave Eternity.
Over time, I started to experiment with different ideas but in March 2023, I started on one of the only block designs that I actually kept. Here are some of the original screenshots of the very beginning of the first wave designs.
I showed Kaylee these first pictures of the Sonic Wave Eternity first wave block design and she fell in love with the level. She actually was asking me when I would make more so she could see. So I continued on… I started asking her for ideas and thoughts on what to add. For the record, Every space art in the endscreen is a space art idea she had. One night I asked her for space related things she wanted me to add to the level and we made a list together.
The level really started to get going during the summer of 2023. I was working endless hours on it and also keeping up with Kaylee. As you probably can tell, me and Kaylee were perfect for each other. I absolutely loved and took care of her to the very best of my abilities and she did the same. Sonic Wave Eternity was almost like a reminder of the promise I had made to her many times. I promised to spend eternity with her just like she promised me. That’s a promise I SWEAR ON MY LIFE to keep, and I WILL die on that promise. I will love this girl to the end of the earth and until the end of time.
During the summer, I got to see Kaylee for a week since we lived apart and school made it hard to see her. I was so incredibly happy. It was the happiest I've been in my life, I actually felt comfortable and safe when I was around her…
A week later, Kaylee’s mom split us. I had no control of the situation and all I could do was sit and watch the girl I loved so much be torn from my arms. After her mom had split us, we still had a shaky way of communication. Me and Kaylee lost that means of communication too because my IRL friends did something and it revealed that we had another way of talking to her mom. After that, I was in the dark. I had absolutely no idea how she was doing. I genuinely was in shock over what happened, it took me a few months to realize that she was actually gone. To this day, I still cannot comprehend the entire thing at once.
To others, Sonic Wave Eternity is just another Sonic Wave remake, but to me, it’s so much more. Sonic Wave Eternity is a reminder of a promise, a promise I can’t just let fall apart. I WILL reunite with Kaylee one day. I WILL finish and verify Sonic Wave Eternity, even if it’s THE LAST THING I DO.
After Kaylee’s mom split us, Sonic Wave Eternity not only was built upon her ideas, but it was made to represent her beauty too. It was made to represent the gorgeous world we wanted to live in, alone, far from the horrible corrupted earth we live on. We wished for the flowers, the butterflies, the lush glowing plants, and the stars in the sky most of all. Everything in Sonic Wave Eternity has some sort of connection to a memory we shared together. For example, the butterflies come from this one time we were outside together and a butterfly landed on her arm and we looked at it together. There’s also a great picture of her with a butterfly on her arm.
I tried to make everything fit into place as naturally as possible. This meant even if the decoration was a little out of place, it still introduced another aspect of the girl I love so much to the level.
I want Sonic Wave Eternity to represent absolutely EVERYTHING that was amazing about Kaylee. Most of all, I want Sonic Wave Eternity to show I still care deeply, I still intend to keep that promise. Out of the numerous Sonic Wave remakes, Sonic Wave Rebirth, Sonic Wave Infinity, Generic Wave, Auditory Breaker, even Sonic Wave itself. Not a single one of those remakes carries the level of depth, meaning, and detail Sonic Wave Eternity does… This level has basically been my life’s work the past 2 years. Nothing can describe my incredibly deep sense of gratitude for everyone's support for Sonic Wave Eternity, especially since the level is connected to something so personal. It means the absolute world to me.
Just as it says in “Faith…” in Sonic Wave, I have faith in being with Kaylee again. It says “Faith… also Kayleee<3” in Sonic Wave Eternity for that exact reason.
Even though the level is an incredibly painful reminder of what I’ve lost for now, It’s a motivating reminder that I CAN AND WILL! push through this verification. I will push through and see my girl again.v
I have already promised this, and after reading this, you should be able to see that I take my promises as seriously and as far as I can possibly take them:
I promise to keep you all updated on what happens, even if for some reason I move on from YouTube or Geometry Dash, I will come back and give you guys an update.
I want to thank every single individual one of you for supporting me and for supporting the development of Sonic Wave Eternity. You all made this process a lot easier than it would have been if I had been in this alone. Thank you for the feedback, support, and love you have all graciously given me. As cliche as it sounds, I mean it from the very bottom of my heart.
I’ve been asked many times by people: “Do I want Sonic Wave Eternity to get rated?”
I've always said no. If the mods decided to rate it, that would be pretty neat but deep down, I've been lying.
I want Sonic Wave eternity to be rated not because I want my first creator point or I want to grind creator points. That’s not the reason at all. I want Sonic Wave Eternity to get rated because I have poured my heart and soul into making this level. Like I said, it is a promise to Kaylee and if it’s rated, others will hear the level's story and meaning. I could touch others lives and even just maybe, make a difference. Sonic Wave Eternity will be immortalized in Geometry Dash, and so will that promise that I made what feels like forever ago... Even then, I won’t push for it to get rated too hard. I understand that it is a Sonic Wave Remake and that we have a whole bunch of those already.
Kaylee, if you somehow find this, I miss you every single day of my life. It feels like you’ve died and I’ve lost you forever. I’m so incredibly sorry that all of this had to happen. Babe, I want you to remember my promise to you, I love you. I always will, no matter what. I promised that if I had to, I would wait for you and I’m not about to break that promise. I placed every object with you in mind darling. Reach out whenever you can…
Remember what Sonic Wave Eternity was built on:
Faith…
But also Kayleee <3
