Hello everyone! Feels like its been forever! But that's probably because this month has been a long one! But I am back to give you all an update on the latest update on Nexitron! Strap in, cause unlike last month, This month had a lot going on!

Pirated Version

If you didn't hear, or aren't a part of the GRIMKITTY Discord, I had put out a "Pirated Version" of GD Nexitron for fun! It's an "Up To Date Unfinished Build", with a few changes made. It was kind of a joke about those "Scary Pirated video game screens." Except it makes the game spooky scary and makes it like, 10 times harder lol. It's a nice fun and challenging joke demo! Go try it out if you can. It's also only on windows so keep that in mind. You can find it in the discord! You can download the file here!

This Month's Additions

Not a lot was added, but here's the few things that were!

• PLACEHOLDER DEVELOPMENT HAS BEGUN!!

If you don't know what this means, I have made a bunch of placeholders for the game, and I'm using the default tilesheets to create the whole game, and adding in the art and final bits at the end of development! This way, I can have the game fully built out, and it'll be near complete. And development has been in full swing! The Kings Castle is currently being worked on. Soon will be the next few bits!

• Animations!

A few animations were finally added in! They were stripped from the game and will be used in battles and some scenes. To give that scene a little more authenticity! I am trying to make this game look and feel like a proper spinoff! (Even though it's all fan made.)

• Cutscenes!

Cutscene placeholders have been added into the game! Some of them can be seen in that Pirated Build Demo. The cutscenes will be done after placeholder development. Probably the last few things that will be done in the RPG Game development.

Alright, there's a few more things I need to address, not in direct relation to the game, but in relation to Geometry Dash itself.

Addressing GD10 and Update 2.2

As you all know, GD10 was this past month, filled with so much!! We finally got a release date for the long awaited 2.2, and its WAY closer than I initially thought. Geometry Dash Update 2.2 launches this October! That's crazy! It comes out next month, which is insane. There seems to be massive progress behind the scenes, as there's apparently a beta build for 2.2 out for a select few testers! Meaning nothing but good news. If you know already, This fan game relies HEAVILY on 2.2's release! And to know that it'll soon be available to the public, is pretty cool. That being said...

RELEASE DATE??

Yes. You heard me right. Thanks to finally having a release month, we can now make an estimate on the full version of Nexitron. And here's the estimate I have come to.

The full Geometry Dash: Nexitron game, will be released this winter.

THAT'S RIGHT!! GD: nexitron is dropping this winter!! Or well, That's what's PREDICTED. It's an ESTIMATE. Once 2.2 is released, I can finally make the levels, and create the game even closer to launch! We are SO CLOSE to launch, it's crazy. And I'm giving it my all to release this as much as possible! There's no exact release date. And no exact release month. So, if the game does get held back a little after winter, there was no delay. The game will be developed as it goes on. It'll come out when it comes out!

One final thing!

We put out a poll a while ago, and asked about a Nexitron Direct. A lot of people said yes! So whenever we get closer to launch, close enough to show off more stuff, we might be doing a Nexitron Direct! One thing I can confirm for sure though...

Geometry Dash: Nexitron, Trailer 4 will happen. And it will show cutscenes, RPG Gameplay... ...And level gameplay.

Stay tuned for that! :)

I wanna thank you all for following this project. These next few months are gonna be STRESSFUL. But that's okay. Despite the fact that I have a lot on my plate, I'm still working on Nexitron. Hope you guys are excited! Stay tuned for the next devlog!
