I actually believed the video for the most part until you went with the potbor and scratch part. From then on I had my eye out and quickly realized it was an April fool's. Great joke though.
Literally converting JSON into a simple format and using math to convert beats to seconds? You'd be surprised to see what's behind programming a full game
27:10 I would say that your concerns are very reasonable, but letting people know that it was an April Fools joke by the end of the video and updating the title a day later to inform people it is a joke video is sufficient enough. You even made this video to let people know a good part of the video was actually true, which I realized by the Start Pos object and the Newgrounds chats. I also really liked the rick roll at the end, it sure was cleverly executed. Great stuff Colon!
demon guardians theme is also used in a very rare secret song testing place, that only shows up after getting all the secret coins [the yellow ones] on certain accounts. [0.00038% of them]
Lmao imagine lying. (Rhythm Heaven: Switch It Up! will be coming to Switch in Spring 2024!) (The next Direct... may have an announcement. I'm unsure if they are announcing it... But it will happen soon)
These things are just the things that made me fall for it all, especially when paired up with your comment saying that you didn't get in time to make an April Fools video. You got me with this, and surely *A LOT* of other people, especially with the blue coin. Also, you're the only youtuber I know who actually puts effort into April Fools, more content creators should do that. 19:35 You did, Colon, you did. The explanation for the blue coin: the User Coin was originally intended to be just a Secret Coin tinted blue, hence this fake fact.
19:18 I have to admit, I got got by this video originally and I got so happy about the Stereo Madness coin route buff and I genuinely was upset because they nerfed TOE2. I got so disappointed given that TOE2 is probably my favourite out of the 3 main demons. Great job LMAO
I got really mad when watching the level tweaks, I haven't played the official levels in years so I totally thought they were real. I was so sad about Electroman Adventures and ToE II.
I think a lot of the map music in games like SMB3, SMW and Kirby's Adventure have a similar vibe to the Sans theme and could work well as background music for your videos
that and a ton of deltarune songs (which is to be expected, toby made both games), lancer's theme might work! or Welcome to the City and A Cyber's World??, Sound Studio may work too
colon going bonkers on that one rickroll guideline section is just too good. thank you for your work colon :) also premiere's really good you should try it out
18:40 why would they be removed when those blocks are the whole point of electroman adventures, they show the new breakable blocks, ofc robtop wouldn't remove that, how would you not be surprised if they actually get removed at some point? 21:44 Honestly I like that there is a pink pad in can't let go there. It made me think "oh, there must be a coin around here somewhere, why else would there be a useless pad?" Since I was going for all coins on levels, it helped me figure out the coin without looking it up.
they weren’t there in the og, and electroman adventures is barely based on breaking blocks, there more of a side feature added so it can say it introduces a new mechanic.
It's actually possible to get object ID: 749 without some kind of special software to add it in the level. it's a glitch, ive had it happen a few times where i would place a few double portals and one of em would place 1 blue and 2 orange for some reason amd deleting that one would make the orange one stay. the only difference is that one can be saved as a custom object. but has the same behavior if u reload. PS: idk the specifics on how to perform the glitch. it happened randomly for me.
Fun fact: all game modes have some sort of counterpart that does the same thing but in a different way... except for the ufo, the swingcopter might end up being the counterpart of the ufo but I doubt it.
@@Gulshanlifestyle robot and cube are counterparts because they jump, wave and ship because you hold to go up, ball and spider because they both flip gravity.
6:49 ok this is awesome that inspires me cause robtop DIDN'T WASTE MONEY and people still helped him with the music for the game :) (and they got recognition, definetly)
And why does the difficulty make it so bad? The actual bad part about the third coin is the off-screen gameplay right before and right after you get the coin.
The uncolorable saws, ground spikes and others were in 1.9 but we're unlisted in 2.0 in favor of their colorable versions. Except the thorn thing which is still useful because of the built in randomness I believe in 1.9 you had the blocks that had outlines and were solid + the ones without outlines, so having duplicate block sets for collidable + non collidable made it cluttered. The 1.0, full black, and toe brick blocks did not apply to this for some reason. Also a question: do you know what's the deal with the 20th block in the outline tab? Also Colon the hexagon force dual is not unfair, as you said just click to the music. Clubstep's gimmick is being misleading yes
In my defense, I only use SSOH because the original GD textures are way too bright for me. At least I don't use all white Nswish icons, like every demonlist grinder ever
Very interesting video! I knew some of these were real while watching the April fools video, but I wasn't sure about some of them. I have a question though: was it real when you said Robtop won't put the meltdown, world, and subzero levels in the full version of GD?
lol i love how you added real cut features in the thumbnail, i wish the blue coins were the real user coins ngl (im not sure if they’re real but i thought they were so i guess im gon find out nah i guess they arent, idk where i heard that but they look cool and i remember seeing em somewhere else) i also miss the old outline blocks fr they looked better and more solid
20:31 I think he should add an option to toggle between the normal clubstep and clubstep without trolls so beginners will toggle it on but when knowing the level you can then beat it with the option toggled off edit from after three months: and maybe when you play the no-fake clubstep you are rewarded with only like 5 stars and 150 orbs and when you play the og clubstep you get all that other stuff and icon…
2:50 You can actually place it without hacks! You just tap on it while in the build tab with no object selected, and then you just place it like any other object. I didn't check it on 2.2 though, maybe it's fixed now.
7:43 the funniest thing is that you edited so it says the message was sent on the 10th of June 2013 even though it's clearly marked that dex arson joined newgrounds on the 22nd of November 2013 😂😂
13:26 I though this dialoge box was a deltarune reference, because there is failsafe if a object doesn't have flavor text written for it, and it is somewhat similar to what you wrote: * Suddenly, your body seizes up. * What are you looking at?
fingerdash does say "Hold To Dash" if u die at the first dash orb part but it's not like the string that stereo madness and that other song uses it has color and it just falls into the middle of the screen and it doesn't fade in or out
When I watched the Geometrical Dominator coin part the first time, I thought you refferenced the bug in the level where you can fall off of it, because of the part of "enter the abyss".
Out of all the things you made up I felt that something is wrong only once... 18:28-19:10 But because everything else felt so realistic, I've decided to ignore it.
12:05 Well that's not fake anymore, now there's an option called "extra LDM" in official vanilla gd 2.2 (it was already in gd world). It makes even more LDM and if the level doesn't have LDM by default appears an option called LDM lite (removed when disable shake was added but still in gd world)
as someone who uses a full black texture pack that i made myself, i can confirm i am not normal other than the fact that i hilariously labeled each button like instead of create i just said "make" ok nvm thats not funny
9:10 THANK YOU, i never understood that either, like oh cool lets use a texture pack that makes everything the same so you cannot navigate through anything if you don't know it by heart haha lol funny
The funny thing about the Clubstep spike jump is that it's FAR from unique to Clubstep. I've pulled similar stunts several times over in TOE 2 and even Problematic.

Also, you're the only youtuber I know who actually puts effort into April Fools, more content creators should do that.

Tbh the first dual in Hexagon Force is easy but the ball one always gets me. I know how to beat it, but I still always die there.
It's how to be ultra instinct and get the most precise and stuff.
