@@ItJustJacob true now building level was fun but now people just want to make ugly designed demon impossible levels like bloodbath , I miss when the game was simpler
In my opinion, building levels is way more fun nowadays (mainly now with 2.2), because I prefer to decorate, mess with triggers, create animations, art, etc. and I don't enjoy making gameplay that much, but yeah, back then the bar for making good-looking levels wasn't as high, nowadays everything is about how good your level looks, which is not necessarily bad, but makes it extremely hard for newer players to make a rate-worthy level.
People keep saying that getting rated was easier in 1.9, but getting a rated level in 1.9 was actually pretty much impossible since RobTop had no mods and almost exclusively rated levels from already well-known creators
numbers just for proving the point obviously ~~and not like nowadays only well known people get the levels rated just because they are famous... nahhh~~
I myself am not a 1.9 player but I started in very early 2.0 and I still remember playing so many of these levels. It's kinda sad I can't relive those memories again.
Even though I downloaded GD in 2019, 1.9 has always held a special place in my heart, and I've always wanted to go back in time and live those memories myself. Too bad I was too late. :(
Its crazy to think I've been playing gd since before clubstep existed, and that it's already been 11 years since then. The capabilities of this game, its level creator, and the absolute geniuses who utilize it, completely blow my mind, especially when I'm reminded of its humble beginnings.
Any update before 2.0 was so fair for everyone to get a rated level. Now if your not viprin or mindcap and you don't make glow levels, you have no chance of getting a rate. Its depressing
Well, most modern levels are messy in regards to aesthetic, old levels show a better understanding of the concept they want to convey I prefer few resources wise use over plenty and unwise abuse
@@luis-sophus-8227 agree, like one level that stands out in particular for me is stalemate by nox, its crazy how such an insane atmosphere is conveyed with how simple it is
for creators and community, 1.9 is definitely the golden age. but besides nostalgia, these levels look bad compared to late 2.1/early 2.2 levels. the dedication creators put in their levels nowadays make objectively better levels

Back when making levels was actually fun and didnt take months
fr man
I can imagine. It hits close to home, even for someone like me who played the full version when 2.0 was a thing.
The good ol days before level building was a juiced up obj count competition.

100 levels rated by 1 person vs 100,000 levels rated by 10 people is still better tho

1.9 for geometry dash is like the 80s for us
Sad I wasn't there ='( I like you were in the best times of GD
People are really nostalgic for it despite never actually being around for it, yeah it is 😢
The difference between 1.9 and 2.1 is getting star rated level achievement was possible
In 2.11 since 2021 getting star rated is more frequent now, for example i have two star rates! :D
I'm making a 1.9 hell themed level
It won't get featured today. But back then it would
@@WClapThose levels are no longer good.
Back in 1.0 you’d get your level rated in under a week
@@irrelevantdebris72 And then you realize it's a dull achievement.
Amazing seeing levels you can actually fucking sight read
What if I told you that sightreading is totally stupid?
?
@cod3breakergaming780 we need human zoos for takes like this
@@EduardSosyou are totally stupid
@@EduardSos What if I told you what game design is?
I never thought i’d cry at someone playing a square game
I myself am not a 1.9 player but I started in very early 2.0 and I still remember playing so many of these levels. It's kinda sad I can't relive those memories again.
Same for me I started not even 3 weeks after 2.0 release, because it was so early there weren’t too many 2.0 levels so 1.9 levels were still the thing
same
I wish I played GD during these times....
I started playing 2 yrs ago 😭
You can always play gdps 1.9
1.9 levels are unique, they dont have the best decorarion but they have something special that makes them incredible
Better sense of color palette/theory, better gameplay in many instances. Better understanding of music sync. No portal spam
its hard to think that I was playing 1.9 when I was 12 years old and now I'm 20
I was 9 now I'm 18
i started in 1.8 and was in 6th grade, now im in second year med school... those were the days😢

1.9 was so nostalgic!
Even though I downloaded GD in 2019, 1.9 has always held a special place in my heart, and I've always wanted to go back in time and live those memories myself. Too bad I was too late. :(
Yea, I joined in 2017 and I'm really wishing I could be in 1.9 and live through that time when levels like cataclysm were considered impossible
@@Solways64 2016 for me
Yes to brag, it was amazing.
Its crazy to think I've been playing gd since before clubstep existed, and that it's already been 11 years since then. The capabilities of this game, its level creator, and the absolute geniuses who utilize it, completely blow my mind, especially when I'm reminded of its humble beginnings.
Doesn't get more soulful and as accessible as this. The best update
I remember these. I first played GD during 1.8
same
Sameee
I started late 1.9
this makes me wish i played back then because it sounded like so much fun because i always hear people talk about it
Any update before 2.0 was so fair for everyone to get a rated level. Now if your not viprin or mindcap and you don't make glow levels, you have no chance of getting a rate. Its depressing
I remember those days!!!
U really don't know how gold and good was this for My Eyes, i was begging for somebody make a video like this❤ thank god for it and u tho😊😊
The 1.9 style is so recognizable
1.9 Is when i started playing, a couple days after i started playing though 2.0 came out
I entered 2 months before 2.0
Thank you for making this :,)
seeing La Campanella noe... it's actually unreal how far ahead of his time funnygame was...
I don't have a lot of nostalgia for 1.9 levels since I joined in 2.0 but this is still pretty interesting
i played this game ever since 1.0 and its stoll fun
I miss 1.9 :(
Despite not playing 1.9, but I saw 1.9 lvls are cool, such as Tetrix
no matter how simple the deco is, old levels to me always stand out more than modern levels

Welcome to the GD 1980’s
Welcome to the peak of the GD Community
5:45 I love this level even tho I joined in 2.1
I got a nonexistent nostalgia from those levels
Me watching this (i joined in 2.2):
Geometry Dash is always in my heart I still make levels in it from today
Bonus: the B cube 🅱️
for creators and community, 1.9 is definitely the golden age. but besides nostalgia, these levels look bad compared to late 2.1/early 2.2 levels. the dedication creators put in their levels nowadays make objectively better levels
me when a car made in the 1970 doesnt look as modern as a car made in 2020😢
Depends, gameplay tends to be all about spam (spamming portals, orbs or an specific gameplay piece) nowadays
Now I don't see 1.9 levels anywhere.
Players back then had a better sense of rhythm than many creators nowadays, and also weren't obsessed with minimalism and tap indicators
this is the GD i once knew
A good time that I’ll never ever be able to live in..
(I started playing in 2.11.)
7:01 why gd custom songs are so good
1.9 levels is nice tbh
Ptmr la nostalgia me invade
Take me back
Rest in peace geometry dash
Funnygame ruled this era
Who 2024?👇
thank u for this bro
Cuando la comunidad se enfocaba mas en hacer niveles buenos y que no necesaria mente extreme demons
