i know im late but what is the first level that you show for effect layouts?

Would you argue that using LDM in Sakupen Hell doesn't make a difference in its difficulty? I really don't want to die at a high percentage due to lag spikes, but because I jumped to this level from a medium demon and have been stuck on it for months, I want to be as legit as possible, claiming I BEAT Sakupen Hell exactly as it is intended to be beaten.

My PC lags without LDM. That surely doesn't mean I never beat any high deco level legit...

did anyone else watch this at 10 fps?

No i think layout should be rated BUT only rated no feature or higher just rate and deco is for getting a feature or epic or higher

No your not go colon your the hyped and very praised gd Cologne 🗣️🔥

I dont hear it but number 2 was perfect

dude I completly agree with you

My mom was enjoying the tower until she reached the sewer elevator. She couldn't get past it and was so frustrated that she never finished it.

Is eon considered a layout? Imo layout is a blueprint, and 1.0 levels dont have to be always just a layout, though most of time they are eon reminds me of the gameplay early main levels had but transfered to 2.2 so it uses the 2.2 features (like spider orb) but the gameplay still feels mostly similiar (ending has a bit too high cps imo tho so it slightly loses the feeling) about the deco, the block designs are usualy just single colors blocks with pulses + sometimes small aditions added on them, the background mostly consists of shaders and gradients, its structuring is usualy opened and doesnt make u feel like enclosed in some space, it doesnt have air deco tho i just kinda want to know what others would consider it as cuz i was arguing wtih someone over this

5:17 Can't we just use the OTHER 8-bit colors? 8bit doesn't just use the same 2 colors, so just don't use the 32 bit ones.

One thing I find interesting is that there is a 2.0 Medium Demon with 4 remakes: Feshery by Namtar. Freshery is just a simple and fun 2.0 level that has aged really well and is a bit on the memory side. Freshery (RoyalP): This first remake is mostly just a simple redecoration of Freshery with a few minor gameplay tweaks. It's not the best level, but it succeeds at what it tried to. Refreshery: This level takes the original level and turns it into a memory level. Out of all of the remakes, this one is the least faithful. However, it still uses the basic progression of the original and uses the same gamemodes for the most part throughout. The most notable ending cube, which was the learniest part the original. However, Refreshery does a completely different take on this part in a way that came to appreciate as I learned it. This level feels like a fresh take on the original. Regenerate: This level is very faithful to the original, excect the gameplay from the drop onwards is way way harder. Like on Refreshery, the last cube here is cranked up to the max. However, this level has a much harder ending cube. Despite the gameplay being inspired by the original, the ending cube is so tough that it feels like a completely new take. Probably my favorite of the remakes. Neophyte: The most recent remake, this level feels like what Freshery would be like if it was a Hard Demon. I don't actually like the gameplay of this level, but it's pretty faithful as a remake.

edge of destiny is probably the only remake to get little to no hates

Hey, I’ve watched this video a couple times, and would love to be interviewed for a video like this! I have 2 creator points, yet about 10 unrated levels that I think are rate worthy, I also have a RUclips channel with almost 1.8k subs.

Okay, I get why people don’t like most level remakes and me personally I’m not really a fan of them either, especially all the sonic wave remakes, but to be hateful about it I agree does not help anything, and is not called for. This is a community of real people, not bots, and humans have actual feelings. We as a community need to start being more human to the community, and that means being respectful to people no matter what our opinions about something might be.

good remake doesn't mean good level, a good level, for me, has to be unique. and when you just give an already existing level realistic deco you've failed in that aspect.

the 83 dislikes are deserved

smh

then make an original level instead of making a remake

i think you're saying right things but dark dimension is really just bad

the GD community is the one community with user created levels that seems to actively DISCOURAGE people from making what they want. as some advice for those creators out there: do what you want, make remakes, make sequels, copy a level and decorate it as if it were your own, do whatever you find fun. a community should not be so critical on creativity.

Its probably one of the worst gd video ive seen, first, Is it this hard to not make a remake ? like, a remake is necessarily made for attention, you can't think of making a remake and be convinced that you have a good idea, since it's the idea of ​​another level, the only thing you change is the decoration, so WHY do creator wants us to stop hating remakes as if it had been done out of passion by the creators lmao. creators make levels for the community, if the community doesn't like their level then why blame the community instead of questioning their level

Twitter aint listenin to you

ok so 2.2 is out BUT there is one thing it should have. The static trigger should have a P1 and P2 option. For example, if you’re in a dual and you want to make a cool transition where it focuses on one player. You can do it in 2.2, but I tried using this mechanic in a level and I had to use an invisible object to advanced follow P1 and P2, then make the static trigger follow the invisible object’s group id.

The problem i have with remakes are the fact that they buff the levels to oblivion because "the harder the level the higher the quality"

W The Escapists OST

in my opinion, glow style is only good when “mixed” with other styles, like glowdern

Ok, what I took from this video is that you provide an argument for why remakes are so hated, and the solution is to throw away that mindset of "not being faithful or mantaining the values to the original" but this isnt inherently why most of the community dislikes the large amount of remakes being done lately. The mentallity of remakes needing to be basically just "better versions of the original" is flawed and you are right about that in this video, but thats just one of the problems remakes face as a whole. For many people, remakes are alternate creative stances on a level, and thus, must use the original as a baseline for that creative differences that creators want to put on their levels. In sharp contrast to the "faithfulness" opinion. This, combined with the mentallity you spoke about in your video, causes remakes to be valued less than original levels, mainly because when you make an original level people dont have anything to relate it to for their own criticism, but remakes can be compared to their original which in term makes them have a lesser value in the eyes of basically everyone. This mentality, unlike what you talked about in the video, can't really change, as most creators normally put REMAKE OF X LEVEL somewhere in their level, which causes everyone watching to immediately base their opinion on the original. Instead of complaining about all the negative reviews a level receives (GENUINE negative comments, not hate speech), creators should grow and listen so that their remake is efective at showing what they are capable of while showing respect towards a level, a balance that is delicate and hard to achieve. There are some creators which genuinely are amazing at making remakes, and putting originality and their own creative work into them, differencing both levels in their own way. These remakes usually dont get hate and are usually loved by the community, some examples can include most 1.9 remakes, "flipped" remakes (example: sunset sandstorm) and remakes made in entirely different deco styles from the original. Taking your example, dark dimension, we can trace most of the community's criticism of the level to both mentalities and krmal fans, as "faithful-ers" thought the level wasnt enough like black blizzard, while others thought the level didnt have its own identity and felt soulless. There were also krmal fans and old creators which thought of the level as an insult of krmal's wishes for his levels to not be remade based on quality upgrading (yes gd is free use and you cant copyright your levels and anyone can do whatever they want, but that doesnt mean that they are free of being critisiced for those actions). Imo, if a creator really wants to make a remake, the are 2 ways they could make it, they could make a remake where the level looks basically the same as the original but just with updated decoration added, or a remake which genuinely builds on the original and where the creator puts their creative view into their remake. My point is, this community doesn't hate remakes, we hate bad remakes, those that feel empty and that when you think about them nothing goes through your head. However, even this is totally subjective, as there are people that might like a remake that a lot of others dislike and genuinely think has its own distinctions which others don't see, and that is a respectable opinion which shouldnt be questioned. I feel like this video came short to explain all of the different views people have when thinking about remakes in geometry dash, and it comes off as a video to dismiss all criticism and to let creators do what they want even if it means letting unoriginal remakes made for clout being exempt from criticism. I hope you take my opinion as just feedback and hope you understand the viewpoint of a lot of people that I feel wanted to express too.

5:01 BET

hi rootbeerfloat the sliced bread analogy at 3:56 fails miserably it physically, morally, and spiritually impossible to surpass the impact of sliced bread on not only the gd community, but on every community whether it be a videogame, a sport, or politics sliced bread is so far above the concept of a "level remake" that it should be the utmost maximum anything created in the past present and future should strive for. yes i am including the absolute masterpiece that is unsliced bread as well. I hope you understand my stated fact on this matter. -ipuk

YOU GHAVE THE SAME COUCH AND PILLOW AND WALL COLOR AS ME 😱😱

Is that a block tales reference

i think krmal remakes are a bit of an exception because krmal has made it clear numerous times that he doesn't want remakes to be made of his levels. it just seems like a massive spit in his face anytime someone disregards what his opinion is about his own work

Might make a response video if we can figure out voice anonymization that sounds bearable. My very summarized take is this: 1) As in all arguments, there are a wide variety of positions. This is not two monoliths fighting. 2) My perspective is not based on existence of remakes, but rather the amount and kind of attention they get. 3) This is based on a much broader opinion that anyone who calls attention ought to have a good reason for it. 4) Both team announcements and invoking the name of a popular level are disproportionate calls for attention. 5) The scrutiny should be based on the ratio of the effect of the original level on the community vs what the remake either intends to do or has done. Major examples include Abyss of Darkness, Sakupen Circles, The Golden, Edge of Destiny, and Silent Acropolis. On the other end, with something as gargantuan as Bloodbath, it doesn't matter if Little Timmy makes a bad remake (and likely doesn't have the skill to promote it in any large capacity either). Riot's Demise didn't ruin Bloodbath; I think it called far too much attention to itself, but it was more criticized for being a bad level than being a bad remake. All of this also applies to sequels. There is a lot of overlap between the arguments. Although, sequels are _generally_ done better on average (cough cough Avernus) because they're usually directed by someone involved with the original levels.

I like remakes actually Like there is Acheron full Version Acropolis Full version And many more Heck I wanna see the Yandere and Yangire combined

"Remakes shouldn't be a thing!" Bro, then why do we have Bloodlust, Edge of Destiny, Deimos (The more difficult one), Sonic Wave Infinity and other popular remakes?????????? I agree with this video tho. I think the POV on remakes should be thought about again

They don‘t even know how fucking connected creating and creative is

I wouldn't say remakes are bad, it's just how the remake is made. Bloodlust is literally a Bloodbath remake, yet it is one of the most popular demons on Geometry Dash.

Geometry dash Twitter when someone experiences the joy of creation fr. Also "bad" remakes are literally just forgotten

first

I agree with this SO MUCH. People remake levels and put hours of their time into these projects just for people to hate on them because there not close enough to the original or not as good. Man I don't get it even if a remake is TERRIBLE its a REMAKE. Its not a sequel to a level or an official remake or anything its just people wanting to remake a level what's so bad about that😭

0:00 4 year? it older than that

hi :3 UwU (im yusuketh443 but i cant use my phone now so im gonna say hi using my another phone instead)

why is it bad to have standards lmao

cool underrated channel i guess?

I used to participate in a couple of remake before making a few part here and there but 90% of the time i couldn’t finish a single one due to the pressure of people complaining that it doesn’t stand out from the original it honestly hurt A recently finish collab “itsumade” which is a yata remake I have a part in it and i was quite glad that the host able to finish it finally after 4 years but readings the comments is just heartbreaking Because people who commented doesnt know how much work was pull in just trying to finish a level. People who commented dont have to spend hundreds of hours working on a level how can they even understand the hard work

Honestly, if a remake isn't official it could literally be recent tab quality and I wouldn't care. I believe that if it is an official remake then they have a standard to live up to. That being said, if it falls below that standard, feedback exists. You shouldn't send hate to anyone, especially to those remaking a level that you didn't build.
