My FINAL DEMON of 2.1...

As we say goodbye to 2.1 and welcome the long awaited update 2.2, I thought there would be no better way to end my Geometry Dash 2.1 demon-beating journey than to play this masterpiece.
Change of Scene by Bli is an easy demon that blew my expectations out of the water. This was very highly requested to the point of skepticism, but this was a fantastic experience. I'm not really a fan of bossfight levels, but this is a pretty great way to go about it. It mixes its flow gameplay into its bossfight-like themes very effectively. All while being one of the most optimized levels I've ever played. It has an astounding object count of around 69k which is incredible.
If Bli sees this video, you did a phenomenal job. I'm not familiar with much of your work but I can safely say I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for what you do next.
If you guys would like to see more of these demon-beating videos when 2.2 arrives, let me know by leaving a comment.
I hope you all enjoy

[@futureddude4250]

Just so you know the “ldm” isn’t actually an ldm. This was made for the discord gauntlet contest where the rule was each entry must have 2 modes, the click at the beginning changes the mode.

[@SomeCowguy]

What does it change

[@LazyTophat]

​​@@SomeCowguy just some visuals

[@fehizorosaclier1629]

@@SomeCowguy the normal mode have all the elements being inanimated, such as being made of cardboard, being pixelated, and it seems like you are consuming media like movies or video games. In the "imagination" mode, those elements come to life and become real, the dragon is now alive, the octopus attacks you, etc. You are now part of what you were watching, your imagination is now alive.

[@jaskrolor]

no the ldm is an actual ldm just clicking at the start changes it either way

[@BobBarnabas]

2:00 it uses a mirror portal and a dual bug. The dual bug allows one icon to be pushed far ahead of another one Put these two together, and you get a backwards icon

Glad you played this. For all the annoying hype it may get from five year olds, it is a genuinely amazing level, and the fact that it’s under 80K objects total is nuts.

[@ink535]

0:40 Dude Rayman Legends is such a fire game bro, I remember playing that game with my dad at like 7, no wonder that dragon looks so familiar.

actually I think the guy is based off the Rayman Legends boss

Yeah same i can't make anything under hard demon difficulty lol, glad you enjoyed the level definitely one the best levels if not the best in the game so far!

[@geometricaldasher674]

I cant make anything over hard demon, *we are not the same*

I really enjoy your videos man, keep it up! I really look forward to your videos in 2.2, it’ll be crazy.

probably one of my favorite levels to play, tbh im excited for what youll do in 2.2, keep this amazing stuff up B)

[@GalaxiumSTD]

2.2 might come out next week so I hope your excited as much as I am ;)

[@Good_Luckas123]

Idk exactly how it works but the matrix part has something to do with a dual bug. That’s why the ship feels so heavy. Great video!!!

[@mrbrimstone7115]

Its cool that you played it, after all the kids told you to, you get to see what the level is like. Keep up the work as always, and get better soon my man

This level is so good. Your video creating and the level

I can’t wait for 2.2 so creators can make a level that is literally just an entire episode of chowder

Couldn't agree more

Cant wait for all the minigames i make take 10% of the objects it took before

8:16 the binary appears to just be gibberish, although they may be using a different system than Hexadecimal/ACII

[@boochin]

F*ck, he did it himself like 3 seconds later.

[@azgaming9291]

2:11 basically its a mirror portal, but the gameplay is moving in the opposite direction you are at twice the speed your going so it gives the illusion that your moving foreward

[@pandaboeet]

Nope. It is a mirror portal, and it is moving backwards, but the reason why it isn't on the other side of the screen is because there is a glitch with the dual portal where you can have both of the cubes on a different y-axis than normal, also explaining why the ship was so heavy.

[@azgaming9291]

@@pandaboeet oh, that makes sense, im stupid. still tho, he did use my stradegy to make the ship move backwards

[@the_potatoe]

also just wanted to let you know, the tap to bring your imagination to life thing when you don't tap, it doesn't bring the cardboard monsters to life, so when you tap it brings them to life, it's not really a LDM.

[@how-d]

I see. It seemed less detailed and as if it required fewer objects. But that makes the whole imagination thing make more sense.

[@cutetwirll]

I have to be honest, the level looks incredible! The deco is INSANE and the fact that its less than 80k objects is pretty impressive.

[@teineone]

Pretty sure it uses text objects and unicode characters for the majority of the decor. You can kind of see repetetive string patterns on some of the deco at the beginning

[@Ch1cklepickle]

A very amazing static affect “The scenes do change a bit at night” amazing static affect

[@Toastee_Brawls]

Nice that you are doing levels still after prismatic! love the vids!

[@how-d]

Thanks bro

[@jariwoud5444]

4:45 As a classical trumpeter I don't agree with this. The song slaps

[@darealomegafr]

man ur the best. keep going in 2.2 and i will still be ur n1 fan ;)

[@greensjade0360]

10:26 i think its one of the bug in dual portal, and yes its dual thats why the ship in that part is heavy

[@EimysGD]

2:04 I think this part uses a mirror portal and the objects are moving to the left, so it looks like you're going to the opposite direction

[@MrPickleEdits]

nope, if you play close attention you can see the icon's color 1 and color 2 switch after entering it, this definitely a dual.

[@EimysGD]

@@MrPickleEdits yeah, but I'm explaining why is it in the opposite direction

[@baixabiel]

you are my favorite content creator, thanks for postin videos, your videos always makes me smile, you should have more supscribitors

[@how-d]

Thanks so much for the kind words bro

[@Goofynaas204]

I like these kinds of videos. I get a laugh watching your stuff. Yea

[@o0thesage]

2:02 it uses mirror and dual portals thats all the gimmick to the icon being like that

[@joannamierzwa4399]

Bli: * Makes a giant level with two paths each one having completly different decorarion * How - D: This is low detail mode

[@how-d]

In my defense, the alternate path is less detailed

[@seek.l2215]

8:40 ur eyes don’t rly see in fps, more as a continuous flow. We do have some called CFF (I forgot the full word) but it’s how many flashes of light ur brain can process before it becomes a steady stream of light. But I think I remember that being as how your perceive time

[@brandonfitzgerald4422]

About the movie thing, spu7nix literally made Shrek in 2.1 so it’s easy to say we’ll be able to make movies in 2.2 since we can in 2.1

[@yeet-dx3vt]

You went through a mirror portal and there is a move trigger Moving things in the direction Of which You would be normally It's kinda hard to explain but essentially Things are moving forward while you're icon is moving backward. 2:07

[@brysontheelite5496]

The Matrix/backwards part works like the following: you use a mirror portal to mirror your screen, use a move trigger to move the blocks towards Where the icon is looking and boom: its done.

[@SomeCowguy]

Yeah i was thhinkin like its pretty simple

[@NBerryGD]

the position of the icon isnt normal. It uses a bug that can push one of the duals further

[@Sunnythreee]

I’m kind of glad How-D was late to this, cuz I was sick of seeing it, plus, it’s kind of refreshing to see him play this with his commentary.

[@SyncronedStuff]

The, how you called it, "Low detail mode" isn't low detail at all. It's one of 2 possible ways to beat this level. It's an entry to the didcord gauntlet, which had the requirement for every level to have 2 possible ways to beat it.

[@wanwood360]

the binary is for the code at the end DINGUS!

[@ZeTacos79]

4:02 bro really said "blay"

[@JustForFunYoutube758]

at first glance the thumbnail looked like a fire breathing dodo in a store

[@GeometryJake5403]

At 2:12 this works with a glitch in duel mode and slopes withe a mirror portal

[@Doctor_Bob]

2.2 is just around the 1 marathon long corner.

[@thedinosaurz]

The best level of 2.1 - change of scene or what by spu7nix The best minigame level of 2.1 - Bitworld Odyssey The best Gd youtuber of 2.1 era - EVW, Aeonair and How-D

[@lapsleyhouse9915]

so glad you played it, fuel by bli is even better though

[@vpexmc]

6:05 what about spu7nix shrek animation?

[@CMAKdaSILLY]

I agree with what How-D said about the 2.2 server thing. I haven’t even looked at it and I don’t look at anything 2.2 related because why would you want to honestly hehe

[@NITE_CALEB]

Just so you know it’s not Bl-ie is B-li

[@NuggetGD]

the way the spider part works is a move trigger. moves sideways by a lot. very easy to do, actually.

[@vivaanagrawal7887]

Change of Scene is what I think everyone wanted Press Start to be like(even though it is a robtop level + the first level)

[@Nix-g4v]

keep up the good work bro, and if your every feeling bad about yourself or feeling burned out, remember this; "when there's a hole, there's a goal" -Me 2014

[@how-d]

I don't think that advice applies to KZbin burnout, but thanks

[@kingzx9148]

2:04 he puts a mirror portal and uses a dual glitch to move one icon forward and hides the other one behind the black glow at the top

[@limitqa]

change of update coming soon hopefully

[@how-d]

I'd rather Bli just focus on a new project instead of trying to fix something that isn't broken

[@hextorus]

fun fact: the dual ship is actually just upside down ship physics on both of the ships. so the normal gravity ship is lighter than upside down ship you can test it by making a macro of a ship straight fly and then change the gravity and see the ship veer off course

[@19Volt]

2:00 its a dual bug so yeah... I also don't really know how it work's : (

[@ggkkingk6340]

11:51 if you just press the "i", it tells you when it was uploaded, and if it says NA, just press the refresh button, and it will fix it

[@how-d]

That button never works for me. It always just says NA even if I refresh it

[@outzymes3636]

I find the way he began the video with "The show must go on" without knowing that the level would be theater/ entertainment themed is funny to me

[@eddiewright2010]

Spu7nix has already imported shrek into gd. Idk how he did this, but he did

[@Lol-jq4ee]

Wow how-d finally played change of scene😮

[@blinddattler]

ggs how-d :D Yeah Rayman Legends is absolutely incredible. Love that game

ironically this was my first demon lmao (and I didn't want to use practice mode at all for some reason)

[@Gorntamin]

GGs can’t wait for 2.2… I think

[@DimiCamargo]

heres the thing the "desync mirrored gameplay" is the dual offset glitch WITH a mirror portal

[@mossyknight]

The part where you are going backwards i think they put a mirror portal and then made the level move the same way you where facing to give it the illusion of you going backwards

[@b_onko]

you know it’s a good night when howd posts

[@hwalnut7202]

I love how he's talking about movies in 2.2 as if spu7nix hasnt already put shrek in gd 2.1

[@VitaTheProto]

when 2.2 comes out people are gonna make a NoNG thats all of the audio in a movie and then make the level as the movie and have the audio with it (i really wanna see that happen) also i beat my first extreme demon, that being hypersonic :3
