Really thinking about making a Discord Server for adults in the GD community.
Not like NSFW or anything, just like a place for us old withered folks to bond over how old and withered we are & feel a little less alone in a mostly teenager community. Maybe share some life advice.
if 2.2 only added these 2 triggers (and 10k groups) it would already be a game changer
I can't describe enough how useful these have been in more advanced trigger work.
If you make minigames, do yourself a favor and learn to use these RIGHT now.
(a thread)
Deleted my other posts about the Viprin situations. A lot has happened since then. Part of me wants to completely stay out of this, but part of me has some things I really want to say.
I'll make my position clear. Stop expecting perfection out of people.
aight just dropped by for the 1m download thing, heading out again cuz god holy shit the fucking entitled 8 year olds
2.2 comes out in november, oooohhhh oh no end of the world poor you dude I don't fucking care get something more important to worry about
I know this is a silly square game and awards shows don't really do much for you, but it's always been my dream to get on the GD awards. This means a lot to me, thank you all for being a part of this journey ❤️
Man that's a few hours
Dudes been used to grinding away like crazy at things for quite a while, before skyblock OR speedrunning
I respect that in someone a lot.
Whatever your opinions on Bli are, his effect on the community is a huge net positive.
Sure there's a trend of some people over-optimizing levels to the point of making them very ugly, but I still prefer that so much to the horrible object abuse of 2018-ish 2.1
(1/2)
Hating acu doesn't make you somehow cool. It's totally valid if you don't like it but stop acting like you're some elite connoisseur of extremes cause you don't like [POPULAR LEVEL] you're fucking not
Aight had to stop by to give my take on this
yall are actively ruining any charm this level has no matter what side you're on
just enjoy it ok? you don't need to justify why you like it. It's just an interesting weird lil find like smth you'd find in the bottom of a bargain bin
@AermaGD
yeah this community just has gotten too big for rob to be the only one who rates levels even if it is cool to get recognition from him directly
maybe he can reserve the right to give out legendary and mythic like some kind of special blessing lol
Old Zylenox levels are disturbing in the cutest most charming and nostalgic way possible.
If anyone else made them, they'd just come across as cringey edgy vent levels, but Zy somehow managed to make them some of the most memorable levels in the game instead.
I've spent 42 hours on this background so far there is something very wrong with me
I'm gonna estimate the finished version at taking... maybe 55 hours? We'll see
@JuniperGD
This is actually so fucking cool, really happy for you guys. You always seemed like great friends so this isn't much of a stretch. Overall it's really cool to see 2 people bond like this over this game. Take that to the people that say GD players don't have relationships.
I have a fun idea for a game.
Post a picture of yourself, your followers then say if you look like they expected from how you talk online.
Seems like a fun idea for people to get to know each other :) I'll start. (Ignore my soulless stare I can never find the camera lmao)
I wanna make it known that Floating Outskirts is the only GD minigame that I've ever played that I actually enjoyed, and it's not just fun it's like REALLY fun
I hope you're all doing alright. If your life kinda sucks, than I'm sending you good wishes.
Hope it gets better. Remember that you don't have to be perfect to be insanely valuable. You matter a lot, and you disserve your own care. You'll be alright.
One thing I've realized that makes me hate working on videos is trying to have them be high energy. It just feels so fake and forced.
Hey Zylenox has managed big success and he sounds like he gets 2 hours of sleep a night. Maybe there's something to chilling out a bit.
Aight so complaining about levels on twitter is usually beneath me, but I really gotta mald about this one:
Emerald Realm looks good! But GOD the transition into Culuc's part is bugging me.
(1/5)
seeing people genuinely pissed over the GD awards is the funniest thing ever. Bro go for a walk or something.
(I disagree with a lot of the choices and some of the methods behind the awards but you guys are taking it WAY too seriously)
TODAY I LEARNED:
mp3s always have a few miliseconds of silence at the start and end, and since Newgrounds only allows you to upload mp3s, that's why your GD song loops sound off.
The ones I've uploaded have exactly 25ms of delay at both the start and end. Mess w/ the settings.
@TheRealGDColon
I've seen the ball part criticized for being lazy but that thing is a peak example of how rob should do gameplay.
It was very readable and makes you feel really cool doing it. That part was a much better introduction to changing directions than the spider at the beginning.
This is a problem I really see WAY too much in this community.
Everyone feels the need to justify and defend the weird levels they like.
IT'S OK TO JUST LIKE SOMETHING BECAUSE YOU LIKE IT.
Bli should really make an XXL demon this year, looking at how insanely he did out of nowhere in the awards, he might be the only one that has a slim chance of beating JonathanGD
Did Viprin do some questionable things? Yeah. But so have you, and if you haven't, you WILL do some shit you regret at some point. Don't hold others to a higher standard than you yourself are capable of. That includes accounting for the stresses of actual responsibility.
ATTENTION MINIGAME CREATORS:
The touch trigger only allows for 2 inputs, BUT platformer inputs are detected using the Event trigger.
HOWEVER, from my testing, input releases DON'T register on mobile... like at all. This is def important to get fixed as soon as possible.
This game is full of intense, amazing, fast paced levels, but sometimes it's nice to slow down and enjoy the journey. What are some of your favorite more slow paced levels?
The current space for debating on levels is really toxic.
There's either people who treat levels they don't like as an unforgivable sin and war crime
Or there's people that get super offended if you just try to give some constructive criticism or a personal opinion.
