[Extreme Demon] - AETHER | 2.2 Full Showcase

A collaboration between myself and ‪@Geogamer12‬ that actually has a really cool story behind it.
When I was a kid, my dad told me about this idea involving a void in between time and space. A fourth dimensional place seen in black mirrors, the place where all frequencies travel, where gravity exists as a tangible presense. a place that we knew not much of but dangerously used it for our every day technologies. Now, in hindsight of course he didn't say it that way he's not a conspiracy theorist, but in my young mind that's how I took it lol. I saw the Aether as a dark place, "the in between". And funnily enough, I wasn't going to be made aware of the lighthearted Aether that everyone knows and loves until I started playing minecraft years later. But even after, I continued to see the old image in my head. This project is that representation. This is how I grew up viewing the idea of The Aether, and I find it so fascinating how the 2 ideas intertwine.
Behind all of these ideas though, this was originally supposed to just be a project that I speedran before 2.2 came out. We had no idea when the release was gonna be, and got caught maybe 30% through the creation of it. But I had an amazing time working on this, and I'm so so happy that this is the first project I can confidently say I couldn't have finished this without my friend Lia. We've been trying to work out some kind of collab for years, and it is finally here. So I hope you all enjoy.
This level will not be verified by me, it will in fact be verified by ‪@TechnicalJL‬!! So make sure to check out his livestreams and catch the verification when it releases. It'll be a great time over there!

[@xendergame1282]

Aether Portals were made by creating a five by four frame out of Glowstone blocks and then pouring a Bucket of Water inside the frame. This activated the portal and created the blue swirls. Aether Portals were designed to look like the opposite of Nether Portals.

[@creativegamer_03]

the aether was supposed to be the opposite of the Nether too, much like a Heaven realm

1:01 spider part is the coolest gp and sync part of the level it’s way too clean

huge day for the level community

[@darny2314]

2.2 layout soon?

[@ramirezzz91]

This level will definitely be one of the best levels of 2.2 with high quality, I have seen the progress in your streams and it is incredible, your best level without a doubt.

[@early.spring]

crazy how this is barely scratching the surface of how good 2.2 extreme demons can be

[@NoahPhillips31]

1:06 is absolutely beautiful

[@v5hr1ke]

This is legendary. Probably a few camera tweaks around the wave part, and it'll be one of the great 2.2 side scroller extremes ever.

[@DSMister]

Wow! That ending was actually sick! It'll be interesting to see how people will rate the gameplay here. I'm glad you made sure there were indications for direction changes, but I wonder how other people are going to react to it. And TECHNICAL is verifying it??? This will come out pretty hot and swinging!

[@quacduc]

honestly the hardest part of 2.2 is how daunting the editor is, i watched alot of your streams as videos and learned so much from just watching you make this beast, well done and thank you

[@rzary_]

From what I’ve saw in your livestreams, it’s your best level, can’t wait to see the full showcase !

[@JarmezGD]

This is amazing wow, the song representation can be done to such a high level in 2.2 with shaders and camera movements. I do worry about the playability of levels because of this though.

[@darkzeee]

Honestly, the backstory behind this level just suits it so much, I love the decos on the level!

[@GD_Science]

You have created something completely unique. I'm a fan of your work in the gd editor. And this level immediately becomes one of the best levels in the game for me, because every serious project is a huge idea. And I love watching you create a level with an unusual concept that you took from life when you were a child. This really touches me.

[@itlunaa]

this has to be your best just based on what you’ve shown in streams you’ve done over the past few weeks, hyped to see this :D

[@lillyvx_]

DHDHFHHSKJKJJSGJD THAT DROP SCREEN AT 30% IS THE MSOT FKUCHING COOLEST THING IVE SEEN, SO GOODDDDDD

[@solo_aura]

YO THIS IS FIREEEEE I LOVE IT What an amazing level, GoatSR🔥🔥🔥

[@bobi0847]

Now this is an amazing level. I'm pretty sure this is the first normal 2.2 extreme demon, and it goes hard af with those transitions, the designs, the gameplay and that little stop on the last spider was out of this world. Deserves at least Legendary imo.

[@Renni-kg6vf]

2.2 really adds a lot of dimensions for new difficulty. I'm terrified at what new top 1 demons might look like going forwards

[@sqb_]

Damn. The way you made the song interact with the visuals and the gameplay is something i've never seen before :O It's levels like these that keeps other creators like me interested in building honestly

[@Dasher...]

Yoooo finally an actual 2.2 extreme, thid looks supercool and amazing

[@shadowknight00M]

This is unreal wowww. Exactly what i expected 2.2 extreme demons to be. Good job.

[@maykgd]

I loved seeing you stream this gl on your next project 🎉

[@KevSB07]

extremely tasteful usage of the new camera effects!

[@Itsjustnotreallyme]

This is the first FIRE RATED level with mostly Default blocks. Anything is possible in 2.2

[@gallium69723]

very difficult beat saber ranked level just dropped with this song and i immediately thought of this level

[@puzzlepuddles6712]

the gameplay, the deco and the effects are top notch

[@AutumnFlowa]

An absolute banger my guy. Great job on the ENTIRETY of this project.

[@Zacari]

0:37 was a buttery-smooth, satisfying transition. Love it tremendously! 😌

[@AdamantWind2071]

Aether storyline is awe-I mean, Cool level!! 👍

[@KairozSX8]

I LOVE IT Btw last jump is SOOO SCARY

[@Medatron5000]

YO this is epic! Definitely one of the best 2.2 levels so far!

[@dhalix]

And here I was thinking early 2.2 levels would be terrible, this is amazing!

[@philbofettiArchive]

Dude the new screen effects makes syncing to music so much more immersive.

[@dewalc6872]

Holy... I love this! The gameplay alongside the deco really went hard!

[@ROBbYZ_Music]

Watching you build this was amazing. Can't wait to see your next project and can't wait for this to be verified 🔥

[@theholybread.]

dont let colon see that wave section

[@bbbbb5542]

Definitely the most satisfying 2.2 level so far. Amazing job

[@WNDR64]

I love your style so much. However, there’s a few issues I have with this level in particular. I feel that the camera rotations feel a bit static at times. Not often, but noticeable. Then there’s the shaders. They can often feel a bit blinding and a little off, especially with inverted shaders. Great level overall, but those are things that I think need drastic improvement. What I love about your levels is smoothness, and this feels a little off. You’ll only keep improving, and these are only my thoughts, but I think they still need to be expressed and noted for future projects.

[@jajasofunny6867]

this is sick af bro omg look at that end, your best level by far imo

[@tocide]

Geometry Dash creators never fails to impress with their resourcefulness and creativity!

[@xTofux]

Finally a hard level that uses my favorite song. This looks amazing, and I'll be attempting to beat it the second it is released

[@TETSU12370]

This is such a nice level. I’ve been working on a level called Lumine, and it has the same music. This level looks amazing, and gave me a few more ideas!

[@OpteX2277]

Oh this man ate this level up 🔥 good shit my guy

[@ThePreschiste]

Yesss thx, I share the video on the server of Viprin etc…

[@Vosian]

this looks so fun, great way to utilize the rests in the music

[@st1ng851]

Nah this is SICK bro you went so hard

[@Froggy_Rocks]

Bro! I beat it and it was INCREDIBLE!! I’m also the first victor I think…! I have over 15 hours of recordings logged, trying to beat this level. And I finally did it! I dedicated the last few days into this project because of how amazing you made it out to be. Even though I’m not a YT subscriber, I have been following your work ever since my fascination with your part in Quaoar. And seeing Aether all come together like this gave me a drive to show my gratitude in a 100% run. No matter what the rest of the community says about the gameplay, you two did a fantastic job, and you deserve this W

[@Devantar]

WOW this is such a banger!

[@samepee]

If this level was a cake, I could eat it all day.

[@IamTheZachi]

In my opinion, the music does not sound like something that would fit a GD level. But somehow you created a level that fits it perfectly. Amazing job, really cool level! :)

[@17thstellation]

Looking at the first 2.2 levels makes me realize how much this community has improved compared to other updates' early days

[@zSpunkyYT]

In the wave part i didn't understand anything LOL that is a fucking good level I LIKE THIS A LOT

This is such a cool level and flows so well with the song

that’s some sick gameplay, reminds me of the Core style levels from 1.9. wish those would make a comeback, the camera controls would be amazing for them

I have once again been blessed with inspiration from you, so fucking creative man

You are the amazing!! I love this!! AETHER!! :3

[@Tom3sYT]

I would spice up the transition visually at 0:24 and at 0:49, it kinda feels like the player is just standing there awkwardly. Otherwise excellent level. If I had the skill, would definitely put it on my 'wanna play' list

[@MrAflac_1]

Bro that last spike had me clenched my cheeks 💀

[@MischieviousJirachi]

This level is nasty 🔥 This gon be one of the only extreme demons ima try to beat

[@LimitlessShark]
