The Day Geometry Dash Almost Died...

Very well made video! I will be showing my kids one day as a retelling of the past

i remember theese times so much... the fact that knobbelboy was the one who brought up the GD community for a certain time was really amazing.

🔥🔥🔥documentary man, thanks for having me on!

can we appreciate how much effort he put into syncing the levels in the background? 1:37 piano syncs with the pulse in the back 2:16 the unity circles in the bg go up when he says "lifted" 2:20 the fading piano syncs with the fading comment 6:11 drums synced with the cut man puts so much effort into little details 🙏

If this video gets 10K likes I will instantly release a new documentary...

yo this video is awesome! Love the storytelling and it's nice to reexperience the events that happened back then

This is an amazing documentary style video for Geometry Dash. The editing, storytelling, and history behind this is incredible and I’m sure it took ages to make. It’s also really cool to hear a few voices from other Geometry Dash players such as lemoncake reading comments as a bit of diversity. This was amazing and your videos keep making me more and more impressed with this community after all this time!

In my honest opinion Bloodlust was the best top 1 we've ever had, such cool history, the time it took to come out, the decoration and how difficult the level was for the time it came out, it was insane

ah yes, I remember this time. I was still shit at the game, but literally everything I saw from Manix blew my socks off to the other side of the world. Blade of Justice and Bloodlust still stand toe to toe as my favorite extreme demons in the game. Absolutely excellent work here. Also, I really appreciate how you approached "he who shall not be named". I find it very funny.

Thanks for letting me edit part of the video! Your script writing, music choice and raw amount of effort you put into these videos is genuinely inspiring. Amazing work :)

Amazing video dude, and honestly i get more and more impressed by how the creators in the community keep pushing the editor again and again, as someone who's been here since 1.3, i'm amazed at how far we've gotten and look forward to the future and i hope gd grows even more

7:50 that's so iconic

Incredibly good commentary! You are an underrated creator.

after watching 5 minutes into the video you already forgot the thing which you came for, the exact date which geometry dash was gonna die

Amazing video! I been playing gd since 2.0 but quitted the game multiple times... Watching this types of documentary video are very fun and really makes me have hope on the community. Im hightlly convinced im not going to quit again at this point, this game has trully one of the most interesting stories of a community

can we talk about how much of an unsung hero knobbelboy is? he went from the unlikely challenger to the overworked intern to the community's scapegoat to a replaceable dummy, and he still pulled through and beat bloodlust. a toast to knobbelboy's sheer willpower

FitMC wants to know your location Edit:The fun fact is that the Redacted player is Crazen

Amazing video! The storytelling was great and the editing was smooth as well. I loved how everything came together in the end. Also, the part at 14:45 gave me another idea. Can you imagine what will happen if [REDACTED] (Crazen) successfully stole and verified Bloodlust? In an alternate timeline, he would be the one to replace Knobbelboy as the top 1 most respected player of the time, be the one to bring GD out of its dark age and bring vitality into the game, potentially take on numerous more projects due to his fame, and influence GD like nobody ever could. His name will be engraved in GD history... But then, he would be exposed as a groomer. What would happen to the community at that point? How would they react to one of the most respected and loved people being exposed as a horrible person? It can even potentially be worse than the GHS situation since Crazen will probably delete Bloodlust and all of his other projects before leaving, so there would be huge damages done to the demon list. People would need to find numerous new verifiers to rebeat Crazen's levels and come up with a way to deal with the emotional impact. Maybe even more things will happen. Large players leaving? Civil wars between supporters and enemies of Crazen? Even a return? Now I really want to see a GD theory video about this topic. It will probably be super controversial and be demonetized tho :(

This video was insanely interesting and had me hooked the whole way, incredible work Mat!

I started playing the game right before Bloodlust was verified. I never knew that all this was happening before I joined. It’s really interesting to hear this story so many years later. Great job on this video!
