I remember making the end art for this, and putting YOUR name on the top! I guess things really changed, and I find it really cool that levels have such a complex background ;) Anyway also manix stole some stuff I made to make his old part lol who cares, and I may still have an old copy of it in my ipad, ill take a look (VERY UNLIKELY) Great video btw, can’t wait for CC to come out I guess
8:55 Lololol that looks like a habit for Zobros since he left a half-finished part for a 100-people finnish megacollab Siniristi also. The team got somebody else to decorate entirely his part, but we were still lucky to have a gameplay made by Zobros
That robotic, dark, and abandoned theme seems pretty interesting to me because it feels like a quite unique theme, and if you didn't lose your saved data, this would've been one of my favorite extreme demons
5:10 heyyyy that's me Also, amazing concept you had there! I do wonder how the community would be today in terms of new extreme demons, hadn't Artificial Ascent been released the way it is today. Good video :)
I honestly would have loved to see the level with the old theming, as AA has somewhat inconsistent deco in my opinion. I think it would be cool if you actually made the level now based on everything it was supposed to be in the beginning.
Despite everything that happened I think artificial ascent turned out to be a really good and cool level. Even though you lost the original song, I love the new one, I think it works perfectly. You and everyone else in the megacollab have done a really good job on it.
8:45 yo its me, but for real this video was sick and i had no clue it spawned from another level idea! i think you should revisit that idea because it definitely sounds like a banger of a level
So basically if Viprin never picked up AA he wouldn't be popular and not known as he is today. Also AA wouldn't be out which results in most of Viprins levels wouldn't be out as he would have most likely left the game, which would have changed GD in a complete different way
Could the original song possibly be the original song that Mr jazz man remixed, hell yes by sakupen? You've probably already thought of the idea but I figured it was worth mentioning. Edit: www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/362159 is a remix of the same song due to sakupen holding a remix contest and mentions the BPM in the description and was also the contest winner. So probably more likely, idk why I searched for it considering I have 0 info and I probably got it wrong but I thought I may as well comment it.
I know it's a longshot but if you want to try and find the original song for AA I'd suggest looking through some songs by XsToRmEr1. Most of songs are used very little (possibly none) in GD, and some of them sound a little similar to Iron God Sakupen Hell Yes RMX (not that much, but maybe worth a shot). The specific song I found that I think would've fit the theme you were going for and sounds a bit similar to the song you mentioned was called "The Underground" but I'd suggest looking through others too.
NGL i think it would be cool if we made AA like you wanted it to be. We could compare what you wanted to Current AA with a full level. Just a thought but i might try it. Im gonna try and grind out finding a song similar to the one you used in the original/
I love this level, it is the extreme demon of the top 100 that I have played and learned the most, a level that despite its high difficulty I have learned it thanks to how much I like it, from abstrarck dark to the end, thanks to the music and the parts in question make one of the most epic parts I've seen in any level of this game, and the feeling of climax when the level ends is just perfect.
BRO this video is fiiiire! the editing and structure are REALLY appreciated, hope to see more vids like that (no pressure tho, do as you wish). btw, would you be okay to do a (mega?)collab on the initial theme of Artificial Ascent?
"No other level has ever created such a want and need to remake it." I remember a certain level zobros created. Something about circles maybe? I'm probably just imagining things.
ok i guess aa is cool but i really hate it from experience im trying to beat it rn and have 30k attempts and 96, 95, 89, 78, 77, 76x2, 75, 74x3, 73x3 70x4, 69, 68, 66x3, and 65x4
Damn imagine starting a solo project, then turning it into a megacollab, and have one of the members steal it to the point that you get zero recognition.
honestly I mainly thought of AA as one of the early megacollabs that was mainly just people making a level to a song without any set style. surprised me that it was just anubis being too nice to reject people's parts lul Also I'd love to see the original ideas being brought to life. Neon-esc styles are always amazing and a level becoming progressively more interesting without changing the original idea of the level is... well... interesting (btw epic vid the documentary vids showing up a couple times a year is really nice)
Remember when I was supposed to be in this level and then I didn't get the memo about the group moving LOL

In the section when you talked about the robotic theme that gave me chills dude lol

Yes
That robotic, dark, and abandoned theme seems pretty interesting to me because it feels like a quite unique theme, and if you didn't lose your saved data, this would've been one of my favorite extreme demons
I really wanna hear that original song tho. The original concept sounds really dope, maybe some other creator would get inspired from that.
@Aidan Luo
Funny!
@Aidan Luo so funny man rolling on the floor laughing rn!!!!!
Finally a good GD video. Good job! That was really interesting to learn AA history. Creators should do this more tbh.
Learning GD history with Anubis
Knowing is growing
5:10 heyyyy that's me
Also, amazing concept you had there! I do wonder how the community would be today in terms of new extreme demons, hadn't Artificial Ascent been released the way it is today.
Good video :)
"It was supposed to feel like cataclysm"
Yeah you absolutely nailed that
I honestly would have loved to see the level with the old theming, as AA has somewhat inconsistent deco in my opinion. I think it would be cool if you actually made the level now based on everything it was supposed to be in the beginning.

Man, this is a such a great tale about how levels change and evolve from their original concept, glad you shared it!
There should be a search team for the song and then we can recreate the first original vision of aa
I'm guessing it could've been titanomachina (since that's the pre remix song of Kenos) but i doubt it.
@@potato1907 it could potentially, but it sounds way less demonic and more terraria-like

Wow love this video and how it’s made especially because AA is still one of my hardest demons and favorite levels in this game.
This is a pretty good video with a lot of insight that most people in the community didn't know about!
Awesome level. Awesome video
Almost song.
anubis someone has to create a level with the original theme and idea oh my god
Well first he has to find that song
@@Topunito yeah :(
I loved every moment and got every joke, great vid anubis
anubis: there no other level that created scuh a want for a sequel
sonic wave: oh, youre approaching me?
I rarely like videos because I usually forget, but this video was so amazing I had to
Artificial ascent is and always will be my favorite level in the game. And probably my favorite vg level of all time
I knew this level was gonna be special right from the get go because it was released on my birthday.
Im genuinely interested in this old song, do you remember the search term you used (if you used one) to find it.
At first the title had me very confused, then as I thought about it, I started to see it. Now I can't unsee it
NGL i think it would be cool if we made AA like you wanted it to be. We could compare what you wanted to Current AA with a full level. Just a thought but i might try it. Im gonna try and grind out finding a song similar to the one you used in the original/

In short: Anubis wanted to make a dark cataclysm remake, but everyone said sike and made it colorful. And then Viprin snatched CPs.
"no other level has inspired such a want and need to remake it"
Sonic fucking Wave: "Am I a joke to you?"
Lol i had no idea that you actually started the level, what an epic story :O
"No other level has ever created such a want and need to remake it." I remember a certain level zobros created. Something about circles maybe? I'm probably just imagining things.
Maybe it was love baba?
What if the community does a sort of lost media and search for LM Anubis song he used on the original AA?
Now I'm not confused
Your channel is about to blow up, I'm telling you
i was confused on the first minute and then i saw who uploaded it
bro is the creator of every GD level
Newground is a website. He could have checked his website search history and then he would have found the music !
He lost his data how tf would he be able to find it again
Just like Killbot is kinda a remake of Hexagon Force
Hexagon Force -> Hexagon Force v3 -> Ditched Machine -> Chaotic Machine -> Killbot
Wait was Chaotic Machine inspired by Ditched Machine?
@@MyHandleIsAplaceholder I'm not entirely sure but there're lot of similarities, name, memo ball, asymmetric duals and songs are also kinda alike
