This came after a 250 attempt session where my previous best was 38%. There really is only 1 difficult part after 50%, though, so hopefully I'll be able to get through it to complete a new hardest.

Theory: October 22nd is in exactly 5 weeks, the most likely release date for October 2023. In the 10th anniversary video the "days since 2.1" glitches out at 2470 days, which is (16.01.2017 + 2470 days = 22.10.2023). 22 / 10 = 2.2 and GD started in 1.0 (10 without dot).

Hey there, I am looking for someone to take over this community and moderate it. If you're interested, just write a comment here, and soon I will transfer ownership.

Edit: Mods have been chosen

I think it's a pretty cool underground subway sort of scene. I could do more with the walls but I think that this is overall pretty neat

Alt Text Description:

An underground metro/subway styled scene created in Geometry Dash. Two pillars surround a bench in the center of the screen. Two posters are on the walls. A fluorescent light is above the bench.

I didn't think this day would ever come

GD 10

AUGUST 13, 2023

🇺🇸🇨🇦 (PT) - 1 PM 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇲🇽 (MT) - 2 PM 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇲🇽 (CT) - 3 PM 🇺🇸🇨🇦 (ET) - 4 PM 🇦🇷🇧🇷 (ART/BRT) - 5 PM 🇬🇧 (BST) - 9 PM 🇪🇸🇫🇷🇩🇪🇸🇪 (CEST) - 10 PM 🇷🇺 (MSK) - 11 PM 🇰🇷 (KST) - 5 AM (AUG 14)

Pay attention to "Progresses" if you don't see it. Yes, I did practice beforehand, but this is still quite the feat, especially considering this is a fluke from 32% in an XL-length hard demon which led to a completion with less than 100 runs from 0%.

Rob posted 3 small clips, this is one of them (the other are very similar): https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/398627612299362306/1127356813692637284/radio3.mov

Link Controls might be enabled by default in 2.2:

Too bad my game crashed immediately after this (which is why there's artifacting, I took this screenshot from my recording), but at least I got video of the completion, which can be found right here.

You can't finish the level, but it's a neat skip

Often feels like my click is ignored, I can't get the timing right

I can input 7 digit song IDs in the Steam build of 2.1. Since when is this possible? Was there a secret patch or was it always there? It doesn't work on the Android version, though. It was said that it's fixed in 2.2, but it already seems so partly.

I haven't really continued building beyond improving on the part shown in the video in these past few months, however. I'm still unsure how exactly I should continue the level and its ideas.

(video previews seem to not work on lemmy.world, but the link should bring you to the video.)

For me, it's the shader triggers, camera controls, particle systems and all the new pixel art blocks

RobTop posted a picture with new Pixel Art, showing new Pixel enemies and weapons.

You might remember this thing from Sneak Peek 3:

Also, this:

First, he showed an image with new button Textures:

Then, he posted these 3 short Clips:

And there's more:

For me, I enjoy wave and ship the most, but I can't really get going with spider and cube. With UFO, you can get into situations where you'd need to click 0.5 times, those deaths don't feel great :D When 2.2 will come out, time will tell how Swingcopter will work out. The custom swingcopter parts (e. g. Red World) feel very janky.

Out of Stereo Madness to Fingerdash, what is your favorite Main Level?

I used to dislike Electrodynamix, but now it's my favorite Main Level. I like the designs and its energetic gameplay.

might add more later, if I missed something important or links are wrong you can write it in the comments.

Simple Blocks I like and a combined design. Of course it uses additive blending 8)

If you are building a level I recommend making a consistent color palette and using "copy color" if you can.

(this is my first post, also see this like an experiment)
