We are guaranteed to have a new Geometry Dash update before the release of the random gauntlet.

Every single one of the gauntlet icons are stored in the game files so that they can be used when a new gauntlet releases. When RobTop plans new gauntlets, he can update the spritesheet when he next updates the game with new gauntlet icons.

Every single gauntlet icon is there except two.

The Random and Chance Gauntlet icons are, as of the current update, nowhere to be found within the game files. RobTop would have to update the game to add them, otherwise there would be no gauntlet icons to use for the Random and Chance Gauntlets.

As for the extension to the deadline of the RGC, I believe it was done for two different reasons.

Firstly is for the reason we were told in the Discord server, being that there were many people requesting more time and very few submitted entries.

Secondly, I believe this may be a way for RobTop to give himself more time for the update. By extending the deadline, he can have more time to finish off any last things he wanted to add for the update without feeling as time pressured.

Of course, there's no telling whether this will be 2.21 or 2.208, but I hope y'all are excited for the next update :D
