    This video is not about RobTop Its about LoreTop
  • @XcreatorGoal
    Increadibly well made video! The story of Rob is pretty interesting too, and so is the fact that he didn't release the game until it had the Level editor completely done, despite it beeing the hardest feature of the game to add, as he mentioned. The results are fascinating
  • @cbmkgd400
    I love how robtop is like 35 but still has tons of energy and modern humor lol
  • @vankade4622
    This makes me think about Scott Cawhton. Both started making smaller games and suddenly one of them blew up.
  • @msm_12
    I can see this video going viral tbh. Good job.
  • @Relevance334
    If youre bored, here's an oversimplified version: robtop love platformer, study civilian engineer,go newgrounds brrr, make boomling game, and square game is born
  • So what you’re telling me is that the GD community decided that insulting and threatening RobTop won’t get 2.2 out faster, and is now complementing him.
  • @doskod99
    9:12 Those pictures on the walls LOL, PLUS THE DEVIL VORTEX THING.
  • @Zixivixiti
    robtop went from some impossible game copy to having over 10M subs and even passing minecraft
  • @OctoSucksatGD
    I waited just like you told me during the Silent Clubstep premiere. I was not disappointed.
  • @worldgd7062
    RopTop is very good at making a game interesting without adding anything. He interacts with players all the time and he is very nice! 2.2 when?
  • @eeebird
    Correction at 2:28: I think Civil Engineering is a mistranslated term for "Civilingenjör" in Swedish. This refers a generalized university degree in our country that could encompass any type of engineering. Given that Robert was obviously pretty confident in languages such as C++, I think it's more safe to say he actually studied computer science or similar. Still, the guy is so private I can't find more details even from Swedish sources so who knows 🤨
  • @FadeScratch
    None, none of that would be possible, if it wasn't for one thing: Simple controls. The fact that Geometry Dash uses one button allows to master it completely.
  • @Apple_Beshy
    robtop is the most chad developer out there always in chat with the community roasting each other doesn't even bother about constant "rate this" "when 2.2" he just find it fun
  • @Numerixx
    This may be the best thought-of, most well-edited, and overall the most excellent video I have ever seen.
  • @Nawweh
    9:18 i noticed the devil vortex saws and started dying laughing
  • @Chizinky
    Wait wait wait, are you tell me this man INVENTED the level editor?!
  • @abrabot613
    I love the shattered faith transitions in between chapters. Well made video.
