what

#

look at vsc

#

or old allegiance

#

the deco 100% contributes there

#

deco can contribute to difficulty 100000%

topaz prairie
#

read more

#

i said it depends

#

but in most cases it doesnt unless the creator is being silly

#

play a random level right now and think if the decoration made that harder

sharp idol
#

i get you but

#

without the context of the specific level in that reddit comment i can see it getting downvoted

#

implying that unilaterally deco cannot make a level harder is just wrong

topaz prairie
#

yeah but the comment suggests that its a level that isnt decorated yet, and that decorating it will guaranteed bump the difficulty up

#

disagreeing with that is entirely fair

sharp idol
#

i mean if its using 2.2 effects pawhaps

topaz prairie
#

keyword: if

sharp idol
#

like 3rror or whatever its called

#

i suppose

topaz prairie
#

if is exactly what ive been saying the whole time

sharp idol
#

ok so we dont have the context to make a proper assessment then

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

i really dislike deco that actively makes a level harder btw

#

stupid concept imo

topaz prairie
#

my point is calling someone out for the notion that decoration 100% increases difficulty is fair

#

just saying "easy demon after decorating" is literally making an assessment without context

#

im not saying it 100% does or doesnt contribute difficulty

sharp idol
#

i guess

#

im just gonna go look at the post

topaz prairie
#

perhaps

#

maybe there will be more context that can help

sharp idol
#

lol you kinda got cooked

#

it seems like the reason they think deco will contribute to it becoming easy demon is sightreadability but idk??

#

there isnt much context

topaz prairie
#

ok so yeah its just a layout in which case the degree to which the decoration would make it harder cant be stated one way or another

sharp idol
#

yeah

topaz prairie
#

i will say it does look harder than 7 stars for sure

#

honestly ive seen easier demons in todays age already so

#

you might not even need blind transitions to get it there

#

i could see 9 stars though idk

#

that difficulty area is very blurry to me

sharp idol
#

easy demon feels like the biggest range of difficulty outside of extreme demon to me lmao

#

some easy demons will be luminescence and be 1 attemptable

#

then some easy demons will be sidestep

#

cool

topaz prairie
#

my friend 1 attempted it and everyone says its like 6 stars

sharp idol
#

it took me more than 1 attempt

topaz prairie
#

my ass is gonna see a funky arrow jump indicator or smth and jump to my death

sharp idol
#

because i cant sight read

topaz prairie
#

understandable

sharp idol
#

eye issue

topaz prairie
#

i 1 attempted nothing (unfortunate level name)

#

so

#

i got my 1 attempt demon at least once

sharp idol
#

i 1 attempted invisible clubstep

#

lul

topaz prairie
#

1 attempting invisible clubstep is like beating sonic wave rebirth in 1000 attempts because you just poured 10k into sonic wave

#

but ill let you have it

sharp idol
#

le nuh uh

#

also i played brimtanic paradise or whatever

#

level is way too long and all the hard parts are wave msylvzoom

topaz prairie
#

theres like 2 waves what

#

its not even considered a wave level this isnt me

#

its considered ship

#

the waves are like at most allegiance 63% difficulty

#

but without 999 portals

sharp idol
#

63% allegiance is by far and away the hardest part of the level and why i havent beaten it

#

so

#

also i can think of 3 waves in it rn without even playing

#

the one at like 60 something % is the most egregious

#

its ok im gonna just torture myself for 20k more attempts on allegiance soon

topaz prairie
#

okii

#

there are waves but like

#

the only hard ones is that one at the start with the shit portal

#

and the 60% one which is just allegiance wave again

sharp idol
#

yes but that allegiance wave is why the level is so hard

#

i can get there semi consistently

topaz prairie
#

u can do it i belieb

#

i think taking a break on it is gonna pay off

chrome fulcrum
#

apparently you can 1 attempt any demon if

  1. the sightreadability is very good
  2. good gameplay optimization
    It seems that deco doesn't contribute the difficulty in this case 🤔
    But anyways I took the wrong way around
#

😭

#

Why I'm so fucking dumb

topaz prairie
#

howd you take it the wrong way around you just said the same thing as before no?

#

that deco doesnt always contribute to difficulty

ebon ruin
topaz prairie
#

hey thats a lack of deco

#

invisible deadlocked just proves removing ALL the deco also increases difficulty

#

you just have to consider any object as deco and then hide it

chrome fulcrum
#

not just deco but also all gameplay elements

vivid light
topaz prairie
#

thats basically what im saying, in the vast majority of levels ive played decoration did not make any significant impact on difficulty

#

it happens but its definitely not as simple as "decoration = harder"

#

ig if people took it as "decoration cannot impact difficulty" that would explain the downvotes but i didnt take it that way

#

people do have a tendency to see things in the extreme

#

like if anyone is actually saying decoration has never and can never contribute to difficulty they have to be blind, but since we're all geometry dash players in here im gonna assume we have working eyes and are aware of levels like killbot or super probably level and many others like them, but idk you also have to realize your average decorated level probably doesnt have anything that would make it harder than its layout

#

im just kinda yapping but yeah lol idk what the big deal was about it, ig people took it a certain way

sharp idol
#

i struggled with bright parts of windy landscape

topaz prairie
#

it sounds like you're a bit of an outlier then

#

i havent really heard of that happening too often

#

*it still does

sharp idol
#

i actually think that a lot of it is that you get used to it

#

i have a lot less play time than most gd players

#

and i specifically avoid bright levels

topaz prairie
#

maybe, ive definitely heard that sentiment from people that they cant see whats going on

#

but i havent heard them complain that levels are too bright or anything, usually just that they dont know whats coming up or all the moving stuff confuses them etc

#

personally i didnt have any issues seeing where i was going with levels

sharp idol
#

idk i kinda feel the same way about deco that npesta does

topaz prairie
#

even when i was playing something bright when i was newer idk

sharp idol
#

most deco just annoys me and interferes with me reading the level

topaz prairie
#

i would be surprised if thats a common take but i get u

#

some things cant really be helped

sharp idol
#

yea

topaz prairie
#

especially in a case like npestas where looking at an especially bright level can literally give him a migraine

#

just keep it mind people be different and statements arent always meant to be taken in the most extreme 100% way

sharp idol
#

my eyes and head just hurt

#

not quite a migraine thougj

topaz prairie
#

yea

sharp idol
#

yea

topaz prairie
#

i have pretty resilient eyes like i can look at some really bright and flashy stuff and feel fine

#

so the only time deco really affects gameplay for me is if i just straight up cant see the objects or if they suddenly appear before i can react

#

personally the thing that more often ramps the difficulty up i find is the core gameplay itself being off screen

#

it kind of looked like there was some of that going on in the video

#

or like it was getting close to that at least

vital latch
#

yeah, you're right. deco can contribute to gameplay, but it depends on the type of level you want to make. for me, if it's memory level, those are really usefull to blind the gameplay (but in proper and good way). however, if it's ordinary level that doesn't require memory muscle, mostly gameplay is more prioritized than deco

topaz prairie
#

that doesnt have anything to do with what i was talking about but true

vital latch
#

i was seeing the top message when flutter sent that image

#

i love how this game turned from TIG ripoff into very nerdy game XD

topaz prairie
#

it was a tig ripoff but it was always better at least lol

#

quantum processing is scary

vital latch
#

tbh, a popular game such as Clash Of Clans also copied two other games explicitly, but no one cares because those are dead games and no one gives a shit to those. same to Candy Crush, Bejewel ripoff

#

COC, GD, CC are ripoffs but in good way flutterhewwo

chrome fulcrum
#

which reminds me Golf blitz copied part of CoC UI rolf

vital latch
#

that's Clash Royale UI apparently

chrome fulcrum
#

Oops I mixed them up

#

never ever played supercell franchises

vital latch
#

i have played CR only for 2 months. that game is pure pay to win

chrome fulcrum
#

and so does GB

vital latch
#

yeah i see

chrome fulcrum
#

good thing is I still have skills

vital latch
#

but CR is worse

vital latch
chrome fulcrum
#

-2³²

vivid light
#

it's -2^31 . .

#

2^32 is the number of values you can have for a 32 bit integer

#

when you only have positive integers the max is 2^32-1 (- 1 because you need one more value for 0)

#

but when you also have negative integers you'd need half of them for the negatives

#

so you only get 2^31

chrome fulcrum
#

Fire in the hole! FIREINTHEHOLE

vital latch
#

i know. i broke the limit of GD intergers

#

literally wasting of time

i have not beaten the actual one yet

normal vault
#

wait was it the itshybrid deimos?

zenith flume
#

yeah

normal vault
#

cause i remember that actually

#

lol

topaz prairie
#

i dont remember that lol

normal vault
#

i do

#

i tried to beat it but idk why i didnt

zenith flume
topaz prairie
#

the only milestone demon i have planned right now is low death for my 69th extreme

#

for obvious reasons

normal vault
topaz prairie
#

this texture pack is something

zenith flume
#

yeahh

normal vault
#

you know i wish i had an octavia texture pack

#

or even a fluttershy texture pack

zenith flume
#

i have a octavia icon set kinda rn

normal vault
#

i made on

zenith flume
#

i was thinking of making a texture pack for it but i cant think of anything good

topaz prairie
#

a maud texture pack would go crazy

normal vault
zenith flume
#

like putting her bow on one of the icons

normal vault
topaz prairie
normal vault
#

to be fair i dont even know how

topaz prairie
topaz prairie
#

i still havent beaten that level for some reason

zenith flume
normal vault
zenith flume
#

and ibis paint x on mobile to actually make the icon

normal vault
zenith flume
#

free editing software

topaz prairie
normal vault
#

i wanna try making a texture pacj

zenith flume
normal vault
#

🙏

topaz prairie
#

also gimp is based, i use that for my thumbnails

normal vault
#

i use capcut LOL

topaz prairie
#

i did make a texture pack once with it too but 2.2 broke it and i CANT be asked to pour all that time into it again

normal vault
#

its not even bad

#

i made a cool requiem thumbnail

#

for when i beat

zenith flume
#

rob made texture editing for icons so easy in 2.2

#

they are all in separate files

normal vault
#

oh rly?

#

cool

topaz prairie
#

tell me i didnt cook

normal vault
#

dude

#

thats crazy

zenith flume
#

thats sick

normal vault
#

also i have like 43-100 on stalemate redux

topaz prairie
#

fire

normal vault
#

the first wave is such a bitch tho

zenith flume
normal vault
#

ill beat it someday tho lol

normal vault
topaz prairie
#

hardest parts imo definitely the ufo and the end

normal vault
#

48-100 lucid nightmares

#

+29% + 12-51%

topaz prairie
#

i mean i was a challenge player for a while

normal vault
#

so yeah i have it in 3 runs lol

topaz prairie
#

and before that i was already just gifted with wave, and had done lots of nc levels

#

my wave skill is like 3x higher than everything else lol

normal vault
#

same for me

topaz prairie
#

it is very helpful for levels that people consider unbalanced due to wave parts or something though

#

to me, sakupen hell is just a normal level

normal vault
normal vault
#

its good

#

i have 36+ 38-100 on sakupen hell

topaz prairie
#

i was actually gonna do it for my first extreme too

normal vault
#

me too

topaz prairie
#

i had 32-100

normal vault
#

i had lots of stuff i planned to do for my first extreme

#

even bloodbath

topaz prairie
#

thats the story of how i have 9991 attempts

normal vault
#

cause i had 75x2 + 51-100 on bloodbath before i even beat my first extreme demon

topaz prairie
#

im glad i didnt do sakupen hell for my first extreme tho cuz it would have taken me ages to top that

topaz prairie
#

i dont want to do a huge hardest cuz then i wont be able to do any better for a long time

#

my next hardest im planning on doing is arctic lights

normal vault
#

gl

#

pretty ass

#

i have like 60-100 or something on it

topaz prairie
#

its scary but i didnt dislike it from practicing

normal vault
#

second half is way easier tho

normal vault
#

and you're wave carried so it should be fine for you

topaz prairie
#

flutterhellodarkness i dont know how i did this

normal vault
#

Yeah that’s a really good run

topaz prairie
#

thamk

normal vault
#

I’m planning for my final hardest to be zodiac

#

List is way too hard

topaz prairie
#

the predrop scares me more than the wave if im honest

#

i really hope that gets consistent but im notoriously awful at timings

normal vault
vivid light
#

zodiac is just some top 50 level

topaz prairie
#

so i think just getting to the wave will be hard

topaz prairie
normal vault
vivid light
#

im going to explode

normal vault
#

But it has a special place in my heart

topaz prairie
#

i beat my 2nd extreme when it was #185 on legacy, and goner is #195

normal vault
topaz prairie
#

im literally slower than the list lol

normal vault
#

Kenos is almost out of the top 50

#

I used to watch npestas kenos streams actually

topaz prairie
#

scary

normal vault
#

I’ve been around for a while

topaz prairie
#

i remember getting a few of his kenos streams in my recommended, shame i didnt watch

normal vault
#

Before he got famous with the reaction and all that

vivid light
#

dw it's not "almost" out of the top 50 since there have been like 2 list levels since 2.2 dropped

topaz prairie
normal vault
#

Me neither

zenith flume
#

gd streams in 2019 went hard

normal vault
#

But I guess I was back then lol

normal vault
topaz prairie
zenith flume
#

it was definitely back on the rise that year

normal vault
#

I watched a lot of juniper back then too

topaz prairie
#

looking forward to beating arctic lights when its 149

normal vault
zenith flume
#

oh yeah 2020 too

topaz prairie
#

i remember i would watch golden trying to verify freedom08 every day before class

normal vault
#

I’m gonna be honest I miss the lockdown

topaz prairie
#

because he would always stream it at that time

normal vault
#

I did watch doggie verify Deimos live though

topaz prairie
#

the level was like top 30 at the time and now its something "i could beat" (i could not)

normal vault
#

You can probably find me in stream chat spamming go

vivid light
#

I'm too newgen for any of this stuff

topaz prairie
#

i saw tech verify omega

zenith flume
#

tgi and aimsyy beating every 2 player level was the peak of gd streaming for me

normal vault
#

On the replay (if it’s even enabled)

zenith flume
#

it was so fun

topaz prairie
#

but thats i think the only verification i was in a stream for

normal vault
#

Or late 2016

#

Made an account late 2017

topaz prairie
#

ive been playing since december 2015

normal vault
#

My oldest level is still up and it’s 6 years old hehe

vivid light
#

only major thing I remember is the bloodlust verification

topaz prairie
normal vault
#

Legendary moment

#

I hold bloodlust dearly

#

I even have a friend who’s going for it

topaz prairie
#

thats bloodbath for me lol

zenith flume
#

mfw been playing for half of my life

normal vault
#

She has 69 + 30-94

topaz prairie
#

dang

vivid light
#

the even more legendary moment is when sunix beat it instantly then got smoked for using bypass 🔥

topaz prairie
#

i have like 20% on bloodlust lol

#

that was enough for me

#

insta died at michi

normal vault
zenith flume
#

i started in 2014 lol

normal vault
zenith flume
#

crazy to think about

normal vault
#

The extension is actually surprisingly fun and not too hard

#

Probably cause I’ve gotten better but it’s really not that bad

zenith flume
topaz prairie
#

does anyone even remember that

vivid light
#

piepass?

topaz prairie
#

yes

#

i never see anyone mention that but it was the funniest way to get fps bypass allowed lol

vivid light
#

I actually don't remember that I found out about it when I got back into the game more recently

normal vault
#

When nswish pioneered it iirc

topaz prairie
#

i was there watching it go down, seeing people talking about piepass and then seeing someone verify satanic clubstep on like 600 fps with it

zenith flume
#

yeah

normal vault
#

Then the list just accepted it at one point

vivid light
zenith flume
#

zeronium was also a bypass user in 2019 did you know

topaz prairie
normal vault
#

Oh

topaz prairie
#

you dont notice anything and its not even a multiple

vivid light
#

I think it removes a frame of input delay so it's not all bad

normal vault
#

Don’t know much about zeronium other than he’s Canadian, has a lot of extremes, super good, makes cool content and likes bunnies

topaz prairie
#

maybe but i bypassed to 288 in 2.1 (my monitor refresh rate x2)

normal vault
#

I remember that

topaz prairie
#

and now with physics being 240 i didnt notice any change lol

zenith flume
#

he also smoked me in demongrinding☹️

vivid light
#

I DMed zeronium about the triple six copy he used and got ignored except for one reaction 🔥

zenith flume
#

we were equal like last year but he shot way past

vivid light
#

I figured it out anyway

topaz prairie
#

skill issue

normal vault
#

I could never get into stat grinding lol

vivid light
#

go right to 360 imo

#

hell go to 480 or higher

normal vault
#

No more 360 cause 2.2

#

I’m a retired 360 player

#

And MegaHack user

zenith flume
#

i only started cuz i was kinda bad at the game and on 60hz

normal vault
#

I’ve been sober ever since 2.2

#

Never got geode or mhv8

vivid light
#

360 isn't cheating and 2.2 should just do it

normal vault
#

I’ve been with completely vanilla gd

vivid light
#

it's equivalent to 90hz 2.1 there's literally no way there will be compatibility or performance issues

topaz prairie
normal vault
#

Btw my username is Outense if any of you want to add me

topaz prairie
#

and then fast forward like a year later everyone is going ham with it anyways

zenith flume
#

i only used bypass once and it was eurodancer by motu

#

the straightfly was too hard:(

normal vault
#

I used v sync for some of my extremes

#

But the rest was bypass

#

I used v sync for breakout and I still beat it in 3 hours lol

#

And I fluked it from like 60

vivid light
#

vanilla GD purists when they need heart bypass surgery (it's literally cheating)

normal vault
#

I have like 1.9k on it

topaz prairie
#

like the last 20 or whatever

normal vault
#

But yeah the end is free

topaz prairie
#

oh thats past 60

normal vault
#

I was also supposed to beat it for a 12 demons of Christmas thing my friends were doing

topaz prairie
normal vault
#

So it was a secret thing

#

nice

topaz prairie
#

took me like 400-500 attempts (game crashed so estimate)

#

like an hour and a half idk

#

basically just straight fly, the occasional wave, and a lot of buffer clicks

#

not very complex gameplay

normal vault
#

Yeah I’ve seen it a bit

#

Looks pretty boring

#

Sorry

topaz prairie
#

lol

#

it gets that a lot but i liked it

#

maybe if i had to play it more it would have gotten boring

#

then again i want to do the moon below

normal vault
#

But it also just looks pretty boring

#

Just like a casual glow extreme

topaz prairie
#

im weird cuz i still like those lol

#

necropolix is one of my favorite levels

#

i love some of the deco in it

normal vault
zenith flume
#

namtar is the goat

normal vault
topaz prairie
#

gameplay is also very fun for me

#

i love necropolis style

My favorite level is probably requiem still

zenith flume

For 2 years

#

That’s why I’m going for it lol

normal vault
zenith flume
#

yeah lol

topaz prairie
#

jeez ive seen rated levels today that look like that lol

#

this looks like a megacollab hosted by yakobnugget

#

nope just 2.0 namtar

zenith flume
#

how did he do it

normal vault
#

I think hinds owns like every good 2.0 level

#

He’s my favorite creator of all time

zenith flume
#

oh yeah hes awesome

#

psychosis is the quintessential hard demon

normal vault
#

True

topaz prairie
normal vault
#

It’s a fair rating

topaz prairie
#

ill die on the psychosis insane demon hill

normal vault

heheh

#

You should try flat major by endlevel

topaz prairie
#

ive beaten that

normal vault
#

Yeah

#

Super easy

#

Cause wave carried

topaz prairie
#

yeah

zenith flume
#

although i still love them

normal vault
#

I beat in like 200 atts in 30 mins

topaz prairie
#

idk how many attempts i took

normal vault
#

Future funk best hard demon

topaz prairie
#

i tried to beat it years ago

#

when it would have been one of my hardest demons

topaz prairie
#

jonathangd creates worst balancing, asked to stay in the editor forever yay

normal vault
#

Damn

#

He’s one of my favorites

#

His balancing is an issue though

topaz prairie
#

i want to play a 4 minute level with an insane dual and the most unfortunate ending ever

#

so fun

zenith flume
#

mfw dark travel was medium demon on release

normal vault
#

The duals aren’t bad

zenith flume
#

if you even suggested that nowadays you would be called crazy\

normal vault
#

Real ones remember when supersonic was hard demon

#

And when doomsday was extreme demon lol

topaz prairie
zenith flume
#

demon ratings have been pretty skewed since then

topaz prairie
#

i just thought medium demons were literally impossible and id never do one, turns out i was able to do them i just couldnt tell them apart from easy demons lol

#

i still cant tell, medium demons always just felt like hard easy demons to me

zenith flume
#

extremes are harder than ever but easy-medium demons are so much easier

topaz prairie
normal vault
#

I literally only kept playing to get good enough at the game to beat bloodbath

#

And when I did that was a really memorable day for me

topaz prairie
#

lol i actually recreated riots verification intro for my bloodbath video

normal vault
#

Nice

#

I'm too washed to do anything in GD anymore

topaz prairie
#

it might be just a touch over the top and cringe but it was fun to edit

normal vault
#

I cried a bit

topaz prairie
#

and i just had to make that callback

normal vault
#

I heard it’s easy to get back

topaz prairie
normal vault
#

After being washed

vivid light
#

not possible

#

I mean the real deal is that I never had any skill to begin with and now I have less motivation so I have even less skill than when I didn't have any skill

topaz prairie
#

ive never really taken a long enough break from gd to notice myself getting worse

normal vault
#

Me neither

#

Plus I’ve been at it ever since late 2021

#

Cause I used to have small hiatuses

topaz prairie
#

ive only really taken breaks from actively increasing my skill

#

subsonic was my hardest for a long time but once i topped that ive been pretty actively going for harder levels

#

i think im like 2x better now than when i beat that lol

vivid light
#

I'm never beating anything harder than leyak

topaz prairie
#

leyak is actually brain hurting juice

#

at some point people in 2.1 decided to make levels so learny and confusing that you could almost call them memory levels

#

im going to be real leyak is more of a memory level than mastermind ever was or ever can be lol

normal vault
#

Isn’t Leyak just click sync

vivid light
#

leyak is several hard clicks and a slot machine UFO ending

#

that's it

#

on top of being incredibly learny that is

topaz prairie
#

i think very few levels are that type of click sync

vivid light
#

I forgot I paused in my leyak completion and I also beat it on spacebar

normal vault
#

niwa

vivid light
#

🔥

normal vault
#

niwa is pretty shit but it’s free and very click sync

normal vault
#

I can barely even remember it at all

topaz prairie
#

im fine with it

#

i only did it because i got it from a randomizer

#

if you arent mega wave carried tho i can see it being trash

#

also the last spider just doesnt sync at all and is impossible

normal vault
#

Just the very last part didn’t sync at all

#

And it’s so buggy

#

I died to it a million times cause of the bugs

#

But it’s fine cause I got there like every attempt cause it’s free

topaz prairie
#

lmao yeah the level got super consistent for me

normal vault
#

But then when I beat it the first time my shadowplay didn’t work so I rebeat it the next morning for the video lol

normal vault
topaz prairie
#

i didnt even get nervous on it cuz i could legit get to 90% easily

normal vault
#

Yeah

#

temps upward wave thing is

#

????

normal vault
#

I got shit rng

topaz prairie
#

but i had the click pattern for it so it was fine

#

yeah overall i didnt really recommend the level

#

i think in the video i said you could go for it if you're good with wave

normal vault
#

If you can tolerate bs then I would

topaz prairie
#

lmao

normal vault
#

Simply cause it’s really easy

topaz prairie
#

oh yeah there was that one bug at like 42

#

but it barely ever happened to me and i could just get back there anyways so i didnt care

#

the last spider though is unforgivable

normal vault
normal vault
#

So I never died to it

topaz prairie
#

sometimes you can go into it and get thrown weird and u just cant hit the orb and die

topaz prairie
vivid light
#

purple orbs?

topaz prairie
#

as well as that weird dual spider part

topaz prairie
normal vault
#

If you will

vivid light
#

there are purple orbs in the game and they teleport you

topaz prairie
#

spider orbs

normal vault
#

lel

topaz prairie
#

everyone calls those spider orbs

#

🧐

vivid light
#

they are also purple

#

pink orbs are distinctly pink

topaz prairie
#

anyways

#

theres a bug at that part and you can get flung weird and die

#

it happened to me a couple times in practice and from 0 but it wasnt really a big deal considering how easy the first half of the level is

normal vault
#

yea

topaz prairie
#

3752 attempts yay

normal vault
#

how am i dead here

#

the hitboxes arent even touching

topaz prairie
#

if you're using the in game hitboxes its because those arent even accurate

#

the in-game hitbox is shown rotating with the player, even though the actual hitbox is just a solid square the whole time

normal vault
#

thats what i thought

#

im not getting any hacks or mods though

topaz prairie
#

understandable

vivid light
#

I really need to get better at anything that isn't wave

#

I also need to get better at wave

#

but not before I do the other stuff

#

1436 attempts :ded:

normal vault
#

ooh fire wall

#

i really liked that level

#

it used to be my hardest before i beat my first extreme hehe

topaz prairie
#

lol i beat kidsmoke and temple of destiny before doing my first extreme

#

i stay prepared

for Tidal Wave, yes. it needs a remake, the original tbh looks bland

Dates back almost a year ago when 2.2 came

vivid light
chrome fulcrum
river fox
#

Yea it’s like nearly impossible

chrome fulcrum
#

It's not due to being nearly impossible, but rather the repetitive gameplay, especially the wave parts.

river fox
#

Glad Cherryteam’s reworking it now

#

The remix used was also terrible as fuck but, the original Shiawase is not on Newgrounds so… 🗿

tidal wave is not that ugly except for that one part

vivid light

I think it's pretty weak tbh

vital latch
sharp idol
vivid light
#

90?

#

oh

#

I mean I don't know what most rated levels look like

#

and I'm not saying I wouldn't rate it

#

actually I'd rate almost any level on principle

#

probably the biggest problem I have with it is the structuring

vital latch
#

if Aeternus was verified, i don't think geometry dash players are human tbh. lol

vivid light
#

I feel about the same way towards the gameplay as well

#

it's kind of like, it does the bare minimum but not much more

#

the structures fill space and create only one valid path, but it doesn't build towards something more

#

and the gameplay has good enough clicksync, but doesn't do much more

#

the tidal wave predrop is probably the best example of this

#

what's the word

#

cohesion?

#

there are a lot of orbs, pads, and gamemode switches

#

the variety keeps the gameplay from feeling completely stale, but there isn't really a common thread that links all of the gameplay elements together

#

so it just feels a bit arbitrary

#

the third non-wave section is a bit of an exception

#

I like that it tries to carry forward the momentum between gamemode switches to keep things synced to the flow of the song while also maintaining clicksync

#

I think it's much more cohesive than the other non-wave sections

#

watching it back a bit more, I feel like the first and second waves are missing something that the third wave has that makes it much more interesting to watch

#

but I can't quite pinpoint why I feel that way

#

it's a bit surprising to me since I also feel like the third wave's designs are probably the most flawed

#

maybe it's the more frequent gravity and size changes, but I don't feel like that's all there is to it

#

as far as visuals go the second wave is probably my favourite part

#

the colors work pretty well, which isn't something I feel like I can say for most things past the dark part

#

I feel like the blues and yellows clash pretty hard in most of the lighter parts, but I'm hardly an expert on color theory, so I probably won't be able to elaborate that much

vivid light
#

it's much more satisfying to watch and probably my favourite part gameplay wise

#

(as in, the visuals of the gameplay)

#

the ending has a lot going for it but also has a lot holding it back

#

the main color is a strong choice especially for the ending, but the effects used have an odd color that kind of clashes with it

#

and there isn't really anything building up to the ending, so the color shift feels a bit out of place

#

the gameplay has all the same problems as the other non-wave parts in that it lacks cohesion, but it feels more pronounced because it doesn't really do anything with the fact that it's the last part in the level

#

it doesn't really have a "finale" feel to it, which is a shame because a level as long (and hard!) as tidal wave really has the potential to elevate the ending

chrome fulcrum

vital latch
#

this game sucks tbh. idk why am i still playing this. i never say this game good.
the worst thing ive experienced in this game is not getting creator point, even though i've been creating for 2 years and always dropping quality level.
i've seen worse levels than mine, but they got rated. like robtop doesn't give a fuck to every creators in this TIG ripoff game

#

i sent many of my levels over and over only to see that those got rejected and forgotten like a trash

#

also it's community is definitely most childish and cringey thing ever

#

i wish anaban could hack this game and demolish it from universe

#

i never be so upset in my life than this

river fox
#

Believe me, he didn’t rate Tidal Wave for several months because he got tired of people requesting for it to be rated.

vital latch
#

mine took 2 years

#

he NEVER takes his game seriously

#

also how bad this game's account management is. mine has been banned for twice in a year

#

if he actually cared with this game, 2.2 update will only take 2 - 3 years in longest time

#

i know he is only alone programming gd, but i saw some game developers that also work alone but finished big update in only a year

#

but what robtop did? he went around being a clown and roasting his own fanbase for his favor. i never found any developer such like him, he better be a clown rather than a game developer

vivid light
#

robtop is literally just a guy

vital latch
#

most of developers i see are also a guy, working alone but finished big update in only a year

vivid light
#

which developers

vital latch
#

i forgot the game's name, but he did big update his game only a year

#

forgot to mention that he is a stubborn guy who won't hire right handers to help him develop his game, i mean robtop. having mods doesn't mean you don't need a core helpers, such as right handers i said about

vivid light
#

what I mean by just a guy is that he's a normal person who made a game that got really, really big

#

and in spite of the game getting really big he hasn't actually gained the management skills necessary to deal with a game that big

vital latch
#

yeah, i mean why doesnt he hire right handers to help him if the game gets bigger and bigger? that's his problem

vivid light
#

the kind of structure and organization you'd need to effectively manage GD is not simple to set up

#

this isn't meant to excuse how GD is managed, it's just to provide context to why it works that way

vital latch
#

for example, Masashi kishimoto, naruto's creator (he's not game developer). his comics got boomed up around pre 2000. he also was shocked seeing his comics got popular, but he managed to be more precise on creating consistently rather than being a lazy developer

vital latch
vivid light
#

no it's not

vital latch
#

still

river fox
#

It started off as one, but now it’s no longer that simple

vivid light
#

there are a ton of stakeholders in GD compared to most games

river fox
#

2.2 took 7 years due to levels having to get delayed due to time constraints, him not having much experience with coding, pushing back some features, some very important game files getting leaked into the public without his consent, etc.

vital latch
#

if it's not simple, why didn't he hire right handers to help him develop the game? that's the big question. he can coordinate his core helper

river fox
#

It’s often expensive to hire people on a job these days

vivid light
#

GD has to interact with creators, artists, and players, all of which have different wants and needs

vital latch
#

he was too afraid to be hacked again like around 2017, i mean that was silly

vital latch
vivid light
#

I wouldn't use sub count as proof of money LOL

#

I think him being the creator of one of the biggest mobile games is probably better evidence

river fox
#

Unless he enables monetization, subs don’t count as bucks

vital latch
#

not hiring people to help developing a big game is a failure movement

vital latch
#

wait he doesn't. he still gets money from subs

vivid light
#

sub count is irrelevant, he's obviously loaded

river fox
vital latch
#

still. he's not poor that he can't hire people to help him

#

he still sucks developing game

river fox
#

Just as Gameloft is terrible at making games. Got it.

#

(Just take that with a grain of salt, at least RobTop manages his game better than Gameloft does at Asphalt 8)

vital latch
#

nevermind. since my level "Night Weaver" and my other levels didn't get rate, i stop playing this shitty The Impossible Game ripoff and quit.
also, i wanna kill my self out of this world literally. bye all!!
