Floating Outskirts FULL SHOWCASE + SFX (List Demon Minigame)

I VERIFIED IT BUT STILL CHECK OUT MY TWITCH :] / pooryoreid
ALSO EDITTED BY AIRZYY AGAIN: ‪@AirzGD‬
Well everyone, this is it. I haven't uploaded a level in over a year now and it ended up being by far my largest project to date. 420 hours is a lot, over 3x the time I spent on The Sulphur Sea. Making the un-decorated version of this level alone took 113 hours, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the result.
This minigame is by far the most detailed, polished, fun, smooth, difficult, and optimized of any of my minigames. The level is under 80,000 objects, which, since it reasonably takes more than 8 minutes to beat, makes it more optimized than Change of Scene. In terms of performance, I never drop below 200fps through the entire thing, which is over twice as good as Floating Maze.
What's ironic is, this entire level started from a failed collab with Zenovia (or Lunziestella). We were going to make a platformer bossfight with custom songs and sfx, and out of curiosity I went ahead and made a prototype for new platformer controls. The controls worked SO well that I started making prototypes for a full platformer minigame. Next thing I knew Floating Outskirts was born, and it was going very very well. Now it has become my sendoff to 2.1, an update which has taken up a third of my lifespan. I still can't wrap my head around what 2.2 will be like, all I know is I'm going to dominate that update. There's a reason I haven't called any of my levels 'my masterpiece', you'll see the dawn of my masterpiece in 2.2...
But, this isn't the end of my journey for Floating Outskirts, in 2.2, I'm going to update the level to not only use camera controls to reduce lag even further, but I'm adding more secret content to it and sfx. Be prepared for that..

[@YoReid]

alright how bout an FAQ Is this Geometry Dash? Yes. Is this 2.1? Yes. How did you do the sfx? It's not in the level, it's just editing. How do the controls work? Left goes left, right goes right, and pressing the opposite input while moving makes you jump.

[@VirnS_U]

Is the length of music enough to the level? Soundtrack is 14 minutes length? Upd: I have found only 4 minutes version of Static Symphony.

[@JamAttack]

Amazing job pulling through with this! :) Your levels have been some of the coolest most unique levels in the game as of late. As a creator, you've cemented yourself in my all time favorites. Extreme demons have been getting really stale for the most part, and the floating series but especially this are finally shaking up the scene a bit. I know I compare literally everything to Zylenox lmao, but I think what you're doing is really similar to what he did back in the day. You've brought a super unique, recognizable art style to gd and you've created some of the most memorable solo extremes and other levels with that style. Your levels ooze charm and I hope they continue to rise in popularity. Excited to see where you go in 2.2! :) Edit: yes I saw the wubbaduck thanks very cool Edit 2: yes I also saw all the other easter eggs every one you don't have to name them

I'm really glad that Rob gave people time to finish their levels up to 2.2, because we're getting one masterpiece after another at the moment. And this level shows what platforming levels should be like after the release of 2.2, especially demons. The final moments of 2.1 are really impressive.

This level really made me see the importance of being able to add sfx and change song pitch in 2.2 The song slightly muting as you entered the water is GENIUS, as well as the drone of the drill bearing down on you as you flee - the sound effects really add to the intensity and sense of urgency. Imo this guy is the best platformer creator of 2.1. Excellent level bro, GGs!!

@@liam.28 someone can easily make a new mario game on geometry dash and it would likely be a very good quality in gameplay and looks if there is enough effort, and if you compare paying 60$ for every mario game of Nintendo and Paying 4$ for all the potential of geometry to play mario games, with the popularity that geometry dash is gaining again, there might be a funny controversy 😂😂😂

[@ikoty5594]

This is the best minigame in gd and my new favourite level of all time. I have so many things to say, so i will list them to not sound silly lol: In the temple you can see @ text used as deco on blocks In aqueduct little rock objects are used as mushroom caps The grass in the garden area is synced to the music The garden flowers are very cute In one of the rooms of aqueduct you can see green blocks that look the same as the lazer room in floating maze, meaning that aqueduct is to the right of the lazer room In the first room of every level you can see yellow pipes, they are connected to the warp pipes that are used for practice (the warp pipes are found in a secret room, the entrance to that room is hidden in the first room of the level) Monolith is the best level This level is more optimized than change of scene (less than 80k obj) In the first room of rampart you can see a smiling face, there's a secret related to it, but i am not spoiling it for you lol Yoreid says that vault is the hardest level The water particles in aqueduct are made using spinning pixels objects There's a hidden path in the pipe in the last room of aqueduct, idk what secret is there. Final thoughts: This level has a completely different feeling, like it's not even gd anymore. Yoreid has been my favourite creator for a while now, and has been my biggest inspiration not only for my gd levels but even for stuff i do outside of gd like my video games. Very excited for tar spit, and other bangers in 2.2!
