What a kind review... Thank you!

Its true

taro!!!!!! ❤

[@onion9930]

If you guys are wondering where Etienne went, basically youtube demonetized him and then he deleted most of his videos. Now he uses a different channel called "runner bois" where he uploads world record progressions of running and body building, where he still uploads to this day.

[@samurai_pr915]

Please tell him Uber Cletus miss him.

[@Dou2_]

Thank youu. It's very hard to try to make a living by playing rhythm games

[@axolotteamshinyrocketdanie9366]

Why did he delete most of his videos

[@wieran35000vr]

@@onion9930 demonetization doesnt make you remove them, copyright strikes do. if he deleted them due to just demonetization that seems unnecessarily spiteful

[@sync_nero7591]

We miss you so much bro... I still rewatch your score progressions videos from time to time and get goosebumps every time. There will never be such an awesome rhythm game yt channel like yours...

[@schrixod]

His new channel is Runnerboi

[@luiss428]

in sing sing red indigo, the music had voice samples reciting the lucas series which is an infinite series of numbers. so it makes sense that a lot of parts in the level seem to be looping or repeating (like the end where the level reverts back to the start), because it reflects the recursive, infinite sequence of the numbers its a very nice touch. man i love it.

[@KadeDev]

pretty much one of my favorite times ever playing rhythm games, summarized perfectly from etienne. taro is a madlad, and 7th beat will always be my favorite rhythm game studio. Their games have so much charm and honestly made me appreciate all of this stuff a lot more.

[@XericIsNotMyName]

true!!! i discovered 7th Beat on ADOFAI and then later discovered RD. The games they put out are phenomenal, its so like, different to other rhythm games out there

[@frawog]

Wtf its the fnf guy......

[@Riprider_Music]

He truly is a madlad. Especially with the musician choices. Top tier imho.

[@Cessated]

hello kade engine dude

[@TFD500Official]

"Take care" was his last words...

[@velvette_star]

YES DUDE I WAS WAITING FOR THIS SINCE THE RELEASE OF THE DLC!! i absolutely love your vids and just seeing how much effort you put onto every one of them, watching this review of mi my favorite dlc ever was amazing. Thank you

[@dxpperwoke]

you forgot to add taro being known for putting math in rhythm games at the most random times

[@Riprider_Music]

Yerp, you got that right.

[@xaigamer3129]

Answer! Answer! Again!

[@awakehopps]

did he make the dark sheep for clone hero?

[@Riprider_Music]

@@awakehopps Nope, but it WAS inspired by a NotITG modchart by Daikyi so there is SOME correlation i guess.

[@shahank8isanoob]

and then, Etienne was never to be seen again.....

[@SilicosisNotBeta]

7th beat games: alright, guys, we need to make a dlc, throw your craziest ideas guy 1: more ball colors? guy 2: get taronuke lol 7th beat games: good idea lets get taronuke

[@giacomopc]

LOL this is actually not so far off from reality 😂

[@madaacha]

Wtf silicosis et is everywhere

[@LHGeee]

I miss him more and more everyday :(

[@fedtdm5]

same...

[@Econtilde]

As an ADOFAI veteran, this DLC was an amazing way of showing what the game can truly offer. The levels were amazing, I had a blast playing through them and was almost left in tears when T5-X ended, but the best thing this DLC has done is motivate people to try and do more creative things in the editor. The usual ADOFAI creator sticks to what they've seen has worked for others in the past, which has lead to many levels feeling the same, but with Neo Cosmos, people have started to experiment with the new gimmicks, and in turn, people have started to experiment more with the editor, which is what the game needed. ADOFAI needed to be explored more, and I'm so happy that the DLC and what it brought has made people realise that.

[@anthiticpy]

Taro putting math in adofi was the best thing since sliced bread. Sing sing red indigo and no hints here are now on the playlist of (songs from video games I love)

[@yakovhadash]

also Taro is on the discord now pretty much all day addressing concerns and fixing bugs in the game.

[@MadBrax]

Seeing 7th beat create such a lovingly crafted and fantastic DLC makes me so excited for the full release of rhythm doctor. That game in it's early state is such a lovely, unique rhythm game, that I cant help but crave the rest of.

[@BIIIIGBODDY]

I'll have to give this a shot asap, I loved playing through the original 12 worlds.

[@BadWallaby]

2 years of waiting for Etienne to return

[@Somewhere_Bagel]

That actually looks and sounds very fun to play.

[@IrisOurple]

I absoloutely cannot wait for Neo Cosmos 2

[@16BitGamerCat]

The best part of this was watching the reactions of those who knew MAWARU when they played T3-X.

[@kurgerbong]

Last night i had a dream that etienne was my uncle 💀

[@hallrules]

what 💀💀

[@kurgerbong]

@@hallrules im not joking btw 💀

[@vegaandaltaire]

i'm so glad you covered this! i began playing adofai after watching your first video reviewing the base game, and i fell in love with it. i got so excited when i saw the announcement that taronuke would be directing a dlc for the game, and it completely lived up to that excitement when i finally played it. i couldn't stop smiling for the whole experience-- i could gush about it for so long but this video explains it well! i really hope more people will get and experience neo cosmos, seeing this. i appreciate the years of learning about other rhythm game communities' histories and discovering new games through your channel, and wish you good luck on your future projects!

[@braveryxd]

I agree with a lot that you said! Great video! Bro cosmos was very good and unique compared to other rhythm games I’ve played before.

[@DeiBid383]

the legend come back, i've waitng this for along time...

[@theSato]

RIP this channel, the channel description says "no longer doing videos, abandoned channel"

[@croboar]

You know, you should make one of those rhythm game documentary's about yourself. I think it would be pretty cool :)

[@Imaproshaman7]

Good to see there's still more of this content to be made. I feel like I haven't heard anything about this game in quite a while. Nice review here.

[@2Drexxed]

forever missed

[@exi_m7074]

Honestly, I think 7th Beat Games makes some REALLY cool rhythm games. Their other game (and the main one they’re working on), Rhythm Doctor, has a hell of a ton of personality to it too. 7BG is just generally really cool lmao

[@ease_us]

hey man, just checkin in on you since it's been over a year since your last post. i recently got back into rhythm games, and your channel has been one of my favorites since around late 2020. i would really love to be able to watch another one of your video essays, but i understand if you've moved on to bigger and better things. either way, hope you're doing well.

[@VicalTheFox]

"bigger and better things" bro literally has 56.1K less subscribers and barely making views

[@DiamondDeniz595]

​@@VicalTheFoxhe's enjoying making sports content tho so deal with it lmao

[@VicalTheFox]

@@DiamondDeniz595 shut up lol

[@EtienneYT]

Not that it's any of your business, but my CPM is 4x this channel on my new one (which is pretty substantial btw), and my average view count per vid is much higher/consistent as well doing what I *actually* love to do now.@@VicalTheFox

[@VicalTheFox]

@@EtienneYT so you did something you didn't love yet show the same passion on this channel as you do on the new one? that's wild. I still don't care though. Imagine starting a score progression series on Guitar Hero and stopping right before the best score progression game because of ads being taken away. LOL i bet on your new channel once you get ads if they get taken away you'll do the exact same thing.

[@avz3810]

this looks amazing i might actually reinstall the game

[@ashleywhite8888]

"to this day, no rhythm game has managed to outshine adofai in terms of creating such a unique and charming identity" base game? i dunno man i've seen some charming rhythm games. neo cosmos? yeah

[@MaTriXBeatsLP]

I would love to see more adofi content such as playing your favorite community made charts

[@stevep9177]

I might pick it up, god knows I played the base game enough

[@Skoize]

Please I'm begging for a Rhythm Doctor review

[@kevinl0p]

I wonder what Etienne's opinion is on Fortnite Festival

[@sonic176yt7]

Doo doo water probably, the charts are piss easy and theirs no modding scene

[@IDHAN1224]

too bad, he's no longer making videos on this channel

[@tiagootaku2181]

do not quit yt please >3

[@ShiftyEXE]

He's not quitting youtube, but rather he is no longer doing youtube content on this channel. If you would like to still see new content from him, I'd recommend watching his new channel under the name of "Run and lift productions".

[@Zuxtron]

The one thing I didn't like was the "free-roam" sections DURING songs. Trying to navigate around spiked balls and get to the end while being chased by a laser is more frustrating than fun, and I hope later levels drop this mechanic. Even if I didn't suck at these parts (I died about 200 times during one of them in the final song), I still wouldn't enjoy them, because they go against the game's philosophy of being driven by rhythm and following your ears more than your eyes.

[@cromagnonidiot]

etienne

[@clutch_zone72]

I really hope Etienne gets to take a look on the game Arcaea, specifically the new 4.0 update because let me tell you... it's something no rhythm game has ever done before...

[@Wyshes]

They're done making rhythm game content as a whole, they've moved on to other passions on the platform, so it's very unlikely they will make a video on it. Their new channel is called Run and Lift Productions I believe?

[@JsjdjJhdjd]

I need your help I downloaded etterna on my laptop and I have experience in a game called malody on mobile using a keyboard 2d using bars skin when hit the notes I get a bad or a miss how do I fix this?

[@Toddyn4K]

Hit on time

[@FkFraps]

you might have the worng hit position

[@worldspawn8322]

why did you remove a bunch of your videos?

[@EtienneYT]

YT demonetized my entire channel for "A majority of my content not being transformative", so I deleted all of my compilation vids (which make up a small fraction of my channel but w.e.) and archived them on my SSD for now. Just reapplied for monetization today, but it's highly unlikely I'll be uploading here again anyways if I do get reaccepted into the YT partner program.
