[@Knali2001]

Its sad to be one of the few that not only met roadbose, but spoke with him on the discord server, and is even sadder when he unfriended all of us without a warn...

Damn, you should definitely try to confront him and maybe get him to friend you again. Yes I know he quit gd but maybe

[@YungLocso]

​@@ZphyZphyerwhy should he do that? the message was clear, he doesn't want nothing to do with geometry dash, that's why he unfriended everybody and deleted all of his Naver posts, just let the man alone

[@DerpySuX]

Honestly the ending is kind of sad. The way I understood it is that he was so ashamed of what he did that he didn’t want anyone to remember it. Considering how important and influential some of his levels would become, it’s quite tragic that he couldn’t appreciate his work in the same way the rest of us eventually came to.

[@jinifysfbiagent3452]

he doesnt owe the geometry a return, it’s because of the community that he quit and no amount of praise will be able to return the passion he once had for creating geometry dash levels but we have numerous of other and better creators that have been inspired by roadbose so its useless to try to stay in the past

[@rerollcake2556]

The last thing i saw about Roadbose was that they had a part in a 2.0 collab called Inevitable Doom, which was hosted by Andromeda. During that, their name was indeed Roadkiller. That part also had to be nerfed since it was considered impossible.

[@Stormfly]

yep, that was the real Roadbose

[@SwfCapsLock]

I played ICE Carbon Titan X in 2.0 when it was released. I found it really difficult and didn't care about it much, so I quit the level after passing the first jump. Never made a practice run of it. I wish I copied it earlier...

Roadbose will never return to the game. If all of his levels from 2014 and blocked any incoming friend requests to him on Discord, this means that he was lost to time to never be seen again. This means that he wants to be forgotten forever. Sadly, Roadbose doesn’t know how much he impacted the community with the ICE Carbon series. Roadbose shall be remembered and will be engraved into Geometry Dash history forever.

[@sieyn]

About Ice Hell Cave, there is an old 1.9 video showing that the creator was named "Small" and was a real registered account. Small seemed to want Ice Hell Cave deleted though anyway and eventually it was updated to be auto for some reason. Maybe RobTop finally learned about the free demon a lot of people was posting videos about and deleted the level after reading the description of the level. The description said: "I wanted to delete the map opened a secret way I am sorry..." Maybe the auto version is what Small meant or maybe the update was an accident. It was copied from itself which is a big tell that it was updated when the creator made a copy of it did whatever they did to it and uploaded it. But the description and name says otherwise. Really unusual situation all around.

[@Antegggggggggg]

he updated it to auto on purpose, because you couldnt delete your old levels, so he wanted robtop to delete it (because for some reason instead of fixing the levels manually, he just removed the levels)

History lesson with storm pog Crazy to think that SNSD actually played the level when it existed.

[@sscyt]

Yeah, SNSD also played element 111 RG according to some GW posts

[@Driomau]

i remember when roadkiller came out, and yea it seemed fake at first. but, it seemed legit due to roadbose’s style of building - he strictly builds with the grid, and didnt use any of the small adjustments. the builds on roadkiller account matched this building style, so i personally saw that roadkiller was a real roadbose.

[@detrezo]

This is a really interesting video. I've been playing the game pretty actively since 1.8 so it's nice to see this big part of history explained to me :)

the fact that ice carbon zust was probably top 1 at the time is crazy to think about, also even more insane is the fact that a 60 hertz player in 1.9 was the first victor

[@zedneon]

this stuff just makes me sad. pieces of history that people have been itching to find out are going to be deleted from existence, and roadbose doesn't seem to have any feelings to the public in terms of getting to see his unreleased levels (not that he can really do anything about it)...

I started playing gd in the 2.0 update but all these old restoration level videos are so entertaining

[@thegrassguy2871]

Regarding IHC, given the amount of remakes and spin-offs of that level, including the newer auto update, a HellGalaxy/Hakucho789 knockoff called Ice Castle, Ice Hell World (also by Samll/Small but fully intact), and ICZ, not to mention that one other player who ran through the whole thing without the secret way, tentatively and freely restoring the remainder of the level 111-style is not actually that much out of the question. In fact, I can confirm that the cube segment following the ball is upside down on a default block platform with a black background.

[@OvercookedOmlette]

Stormfly i think you can start some trend to potentially find very old players with copyables of old levels in any vid you made Something like the trend that helped riot to restore his channel

[@AngelJenkins0816]

let's think about titan x's mystery game mode. the theme seems to be 1.9 so we have cube (won't work) ball ( won't work) wave (could work) ufo (could work if nerfed) and ship (could work). if wave was chosen it would be impossible at the time the titan would have been release ufo would either have to be tiny or the obstacles having a wider gap and ship is pretty much garenteed to work if mini and they just experienced levels the likes bloodbath so the ship would have made it possible on release if it was mini or if if the gap was only slightly bigger. so ship works the most as the mystery game mode.
