DISCONNECT

[@hhxa23]

this level gotta be like 6000 calories if i were to eat it

[@HeyItsFriday]

was here for connect, stayed for disconnect. i felt everything, and physically jumped when i saw the wave of color for the first time in the level. about to read the document now, and im hoping that things are looking up, just maybe, as it was thought to, as the way i remember connect seemed to look at its ending. edit: read it, saw it. well done, mcres. well done. i remember speaking to you, about the possibility of conversation if we should ever want to, potentially to grow as friends. the offer is always there. you know where to find me, and if anything, my heart goes out to you, man. im incredibly and wonderfully happy for you.

[@gmdman]

i cant even keep up with everything but this is so cool , so much is happening

[@justcheesy900]

This shit is brutal jesus christ woooooo

[@xtet8087]

Connect has become one of my personal obsessions when it comes to the art of using just simple shapes, lines to create atmosphere and incite emotions, either discomfort, unpleasant, or feelings of despair. To say this is one of my most anticipated projects to release would be an understatement, and damn it's like christmas has come early since I really didn't expect it to drop now. Despite 2.2 more streamlining the rough and static-y looks via the introduction of shaders, DISCONNECT still stands out against most other projects that fall into the category effect levels for its unrelenting nature both in difficlty and style that created such an oppressive and terrifying atmosphere, sending a clear message to the players that this space really is not made to appease others but to represent something more personal to the creator. And even if it was more "feel" over "form" that you chose to go by with this project matter of the fact is that it's spectacular, from the insane gameplay gimmicks, environment that hardly is inviting but intriguing nonetheless, and great utilization of the new features this is nothing short of breathtaking really. You knocked it out of the park this time ❤

[@Pooonda]

Seeing every part come together in this video was insane. Insane work ❤

[@CutTheVioletWire]

absolute fucking cinema

[@hicalebih8902]

ok, but can we talk about the shaders at 0:48 - 1:15 ? THIS IS SICK!!!

[@lifelessed.]

ABSOLUTELY PEAK (OKAY I WATCHED THE ENTIRE THING IT'S FUCKING AMAZING I LOVE THIS SO MUCH)

[@paladin_46gd]

This end screen goes so hard, dude

[@wmacc]

incredible work as always. i can't wait for this to release i will be trying my best to beat it

[@kenny_yo]

IT USES LAYERS LETS GOOOOOOO

[@44rav]

this turned out so beautiful. all the time you spent working on it paid off bro. congrats ^_^

[@Blueskii]

BANGERRR

[@deltanaa]

ive alr given this lvl its flowers when i talked to u abt it in the control group channel but this is genuinely one of the best effect lvls ive ever seen nd one of my fav levels to come out of this year the way the lvl progresses in its deco and effects and colors is smth ive never rly seen before nd is extremely unique nd overall im super proud of u 4 getting this out , bc id say this is 100% ur best work nd i cant wait 2 see what u have in store next ^^

[@VinkGD]

genuinely the most shocking level to come out in years

[@ChesNotChess]

Dope!!! Takes a lot of amazing aspects from connect and expands on them beautifully!!!! Love it!!

"So memories aren't only of the past, are they? They can be of right now, or even of tomorrow." "You're right. We can see each other anytime."

[@TYsdrawkcaB]

1:37 reminds me of the second part in phobos!! anyway, this is genuinely so phenomenal. i'd love to see what this looks like without the shaders. just to see the comparison. but holyyyy

[@mcresgd]

looks pretty random without the shaders because of the way the broken coloring works

[@TYsdrawkcaB]

@@mcresgd that's actually kind of what i'm interested in. like, how did you get to this?? what did you do to make it look like this? what deco looks like this with what shaders and triggers?

[@mcresgd]

@@TYsdrawkcaB for a few of the parts its not even shaders, just some weird blending stuff but for the cube and robot its sepia and greyscale on really high values. considering making a video explaining the parts and how they work if theres interest!

[@mcresgd]

forgot to actually explain the important part- with sepia and greyscale up super high, objects with more than one colour baked in have reaaaallllyyyy weird interactions with white objects. i personally use the particle clous and rock objects a lot but a lot of things work for this.

[@Flic4rz]

@@mcresgdthat video would be incredible if you’d be willing to make it. There is incredible amounts to learn from in this level

[@croozem]

robert pls legendary this is in my new top 3 favourite extremes :>

[@FlickSeven]

You'e one of the best effect creators EVER, I really hope you get your epic this time bc you really deserve it

[@TrolliGato]

Holy peakk i love CONNECT and this looks even better

[@lutherdayz1691]

Congratulations, you found the line, you sufed the edge, and at times crossed it. You reached the limit of how insanely distorted and tripped up and haywire you can make the screen while it still being understandable, and not total bs. You did it! Most of the level is still within the "acceptable" zone, but I genuinely think that the few craziest parts are past the line. I will not call that a bad thing, but I would not envy anybody trying to beat this level. Some parts are just memory, not because of branching or intricate design, but shear overload of visuals, wich I think just makes the memory harder. Epic level, I'ma go get my eyes checked.

[@banonhd5680]

the clear blocks every now and then and the messy everything makes this really cool

[@MicroTheMicro]

HOLY SHIT THIS LEVEL IS SO GOOD, IT HAS AN INSANE VIBE

[@GorditoXD]

i dont think there will ever be another creator as unique as you are this is just unbeliveable

[@SigmAexe]

From the few streams i watched, i knew this would be one of the best levels of recent times. Great work man, you killed it

[@jauaos]

Your levels are absolute cinema LOL. There are always a message in your levels, this is so unique man, keep it up It's good to see you well, just don't slip your thoughts again, merry christmas.

[@Fur0rem]

the wait was worth it, it's incredible !

[@Azzight23]

How are effects like this even possible??? This is phenomenal.

[@patch7151]

Showed this to my brother and hes still shaking because of how good it is! Hes been on the floor for a while soooooooooo good job

[@streakzz4853]

Peak masterpiece 😭

[@NepGD]

looks fantastic, can't wait to go for this.

[@dragnalus787]

impressive but feels a bit undercooked at the climax of the song, 2:10-2:30 could definitely use something like the colorful overlays of the parts surrounding it imo

[@BrodieMitch]

I like it better the way it is. It makes the colourful parts feel more valuable

[@ApeiriophobicGD]

I love the effects. Gameplay looks fun

[@sgamet9010]

Super awesome level, the details and the usage of shaders are so good, and some gameplay parts were really unexpected but in a good way The fact that you kept it consistent (shader usage, details and gameplay) for 3 minutes is pretty impressive Amazing job mcres, this was all worth it :D

[@jadboi3553]

Idk what I watched just now, but I loved every second of it.

[@ItsUnityGD]

Mcres came back and cooked a meal with gordon ramsay's level of quality

[@Artism_vpn]

holy peak

[@truebino]

I think CONNECT hit a perfect balance of chaos that in its heavier parts it still let you tell where everything is at least by looking closely and/or practicing a lil'. Here my biggest and pretty much only grievance is that on half of the parts I could really not make out the blocks and structures where to stand after rewatching multiple times. There's a part that definitely looks more memory oriented but the rest are way too much for someone like me even be able to give it a pracrice run without show hitboxes, which is a bit sad. Kind of akin to having a few of the parts be GONER waves. It just makes it more of a level to be watched rather than played. That aside, DISCONNECT is an unquestionable visual masterpiece that takes what its predecessor laid on the ground and turned it up to 1000 for an absurdly surreal journey through a glitched landscape. The visuals have a more *complete* feel to them, you can really see that year and a half on work put in there, and it's pretty awesome.

[@Anatolegd]

That shit cray
