Here's 5 more Ideas I came up with. 1. 2 Editor sections, a basic one with only like 1.9 stuff that you can access for $17.95/month and the levels you make won't get rated/featured. And then a premium section for $27.95/month where you get access to eveything and can get rated levels. Also you have to get the first editor section before you can buy the second one. 2. The ability to pay 1-5 gems to respawn in practice mode (the easier the level the more gems you have to pay). 3. A second type of keys, better then demon keys to unlock better chests and you have to pay more money for them. Also you can only open 1 chest/day but you can watch an ad to open more chests. 4. A third daily chest, so people watch more ads 5. Watching ads for orbs/gems but you need to watch 5 ads to get 1 gem, like in knife hit.
I'm adding one of mine, brace for the flood 4 - Offerwalls, you know what they are (it is basically an offering system that offers paid promotions of surveys and games to try and get hooked in excahnge for ingame currency) 5 - Instead of one daily level, you will get 10, and you will no longer be able to freely search levels by your will and there will only be 10 levels for you to try per day (from 2* easy to 10* demon, with two levels of the same difficulty between 4 and 7* and a small chance of a 1*) based on your playthrough. Watch an ad if you want to reshuffle 6 - VIP subscriptions, whether it'd be daily, weekly or monthly, with multiple layers, depending on your choice, with a cancellation fee that progressively increases as your subscription continues. There will be free one week trial for each 7 - Rig the daily levels. They will do a favor if you pay more and make it unfair if you pay less, with fairness slowly declining as you spend more and more hours f2p. 8 - A website that offers daily streak rewards only accessible through their website with bonuses if you log in every day per week, per month and even a grand prize if you consecutively log in to their website and claim rewards for 365 days. In addition to that, there will be deals and sales exclusive to said website, where you pay directly to them instead of through google play 9 - Annoying pop up deals (zynga moment) except, there will be an option to disable pop up deals exclusively for the VIP subscription 10 - With the assistance of AI technology, you'll be getting deals and bundles that are incredibly personalized, based on your gaming experience (i.e. your difficulty choice, how much you play per week, your bday etc) 12 - Make a "storage" where, as you complete levels you gain free chests, but they are only unlocked if you wait for a moment (like those chests in royale) and it will not have much inside. the chances of getting better chests will increase if you pay more (unlike in royale where chests arent random) 13 - Speaking of VIP, Under the highest tier, you will gain the option to skip a specific amount of ads for free rewards per day 14 - Add the tower of fortune from Angry birds 2, except it will be available weekly instead of daily, the rewards will be much plentiful, and the cost to continue will be 7x higher 15 - Everytime I Try to post my suggestions, youtube shadowbans me for a reason
There should be a piggy bank: You earn a few extra orbs per level and save them up, and to claim them you need to pay money to 'break open' the piggy bank
I have an idea to make this GD idea worse. In the treasure room, instead of just getting a chest when you pay for one, you get 5 you have to choose from. The rewards you actually get would be completely predetermined, but after you open a chest, the other ones would reveal their contents, and one would always have at least an Epic icon, and would have a high chance to have one of the time limited icons you want. This would encourage people to spend more on keys since they'll think the odds of getting the icons are higher than they are.
Maybe also add a layer-based reward system with a grand prize on the top, with each having 5 predetermined rewards with one being the "demon" that absorbs all you've got and reset the process for a week (unless you spend gems ofc). Remember that ower of fortune in Angry birds 2? yeah pretty much it, except it is weekly instead of daily, the rewards are much more plentiful and the cost to continue if you fail is 7 times higher the value. Also the choices will not be random, where the game will systematically track your playthrough and change both rewards and chances to fail accordingly. After all gambling dices, slots and roulettes are all rigged so why not in gacha systems?
I literally had to stop watching this because I nearly cried. I wish I was joking. If literally any of these get added I am quitting the game and crying alone in my room for at least a week. Robtop, I am begging you to not do this. Please...
*Dash song starts playing* *Cinematic intro for the new GD season* Announcer (in sync with the song): "Geometry Pass" *Starts basically an ad read for the battle pass* "See you in 2.2... Season 2!"
"Pass of Power" would be a fitting name. Because it tricks you into subconsciously thinking you'll be more powerful as you buy the pass, even without looking into the content of the pass. Wordplaying is really a strong weapon when it comes to propaganda.
There should be an exceedingly rare but still ever so slightly possible chance of a player's save getting permanently deleted, which can just be chalked up to a server error and they need to pay for all the features again
None actually, I thought of it myself because I'm evil >:3 (Not enough to actually do all this stuff though because I prefer being evil in a *fun* way)
For the editor, have a free trial, either timed or quantitative Timed: You get access for 7 days with full features and then you have to pay (this is great because some people will forget to cancel) Quantitative: You get to create 3 free levels with full features, then once you’ve created your 3 you are locked back out of it. Timed ones have the advantage of users not wanting to waste it, and of course some will forget to cancel. However quantitative free trials really give the user a “taste” of what they could do, and perhaps they would be inclined to pay for it. Also, you could add different tiers to the editor. Editor Basic: Just basic features that make up a level (portals, basic blocks, spikes, etc). Only game soundtracks. $5/mo Editor Plus: More advanced features, and you unlock some decorations. Some custom tracks from specific artists. $12/mo Editor Pro: Full access to all features. All custom tracks unlocked, this is basically the current editor. $25/mo Editor Max: Everything in Pro, plus early access to EXCLUSIVE upcoming content. The ability to import any sound or music. Also, a coloured name or title to show you have this so you can laugh at all the brokies. $45/mo Display all of this in a table putting ticks and crosses by each feature for each tier, to entice people more. (I am not promoting this in any way, just thought it would be a cool idea to add into the video. Please do not come after me, as I am not responsible for any additions that may stem from this comment or the video.)
@@oZqdiac How would a quantitative system work if you can just remove all the objects in a level and start a new without really creating a "new* level?
@@plasma263 Well I thought that you would be able to create 3, and before you play it you’d have to save it which counts as one of your free levels (also, once you save it you can’t edit it) I mainly see it in creation websites such as AI image generators and stuff, I suppose looking at it again it doesn’t quite fit the GD editor
Also, add another subscription that increases the amount of max energy you have Default Energy Plan: 15 max energy, regenerates one every ten minutes(free) Great energy plan: 25 max energy, regents once per eight minutes(7.49/mo) Pro energy plan: 36 max energy, regents once per five minutes (15.99/mo) Energy+++: 50 max energy, regents once per 3mins (30 dollars/month)
This video made me realise how much we take this game for granted, I realised I would’ve quit GD if it was like this. Colon, you made a fire video. Robtop, please don’t listen to him, please.
The editing the ideas and the footage are incredible in every video you make dude, you just not stopping to surprise with your videos and creativity. Great job man keep up 💪
"nah, colon ain't evil enough" i thought to myself, not prepared for the editor subscription idea. really fun video ngl i love funny stuff that turns into wake up calls (also battle cats mentioned!!!! it's the least evil out of the gacha games i think lol)
@@Man........ then if you do that you are dumb because an educated battle cats player would save catfood for guaranteed uber (yes the chances of a legend rare suck though)
How about a VIP subscription. For way too much/month, you can gain access to exclusive icons, more objects to place in the editor (editor stays as a separate subscription), orb multipliers, more energy, an exclusive profile tag, and more! The editors stays separate to encourage people to buy both subscriptions. If they get just the editor, they’ll want the VIP pass to gain access to all the objects the editor has. If they get just VIP, they won’t feel like they’re getting everything they can out of it without the editor. I have so many more ideas for IAPs, like icon packs. Or how about full on DLCs, one could be platformer mode. Big packs that include mechanics that completely change the game. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
13:56 "Based on the information, it's hard to tell. What is an Ultra Dash? Is it a move in the game? Is it the game itself? Or is it just two words that have no business being together at all?" "Yes."
Modders are another example of that. I've spent 100 hours on strawberry jam for celeste and I just started the grandmaster lobby (the last 20% of content). All of that without getting any money, the mod is free.
I propose an idea to ruin it more. On PC, HD textures cost $10 (because mobile doesn't have hd textures, though maybe that can be made available through the battle pass). On both Mobile and PC, Medium Textures cost $5, and low quality textures cost $2. If you dont pay for any of these, all textures will be 1x1 pixel. You also have a limited number of clicks per day before having to buy more or watch an ad.
Reward Ads are optimal in my eyes (at least for my games and many others who I've seen). It's optional, so player experience is boosted. But, it offers a reward that is tempting enough that it will actually make decent revenue for the devs. Everyone wins!
As a game developer, this video was useful to watch. I'm about to publish a game in Google Play & Steam in a month, and I'm starting to understand more and more on how to treat players better.
Besides the goofiness in this video, there are some actually good ideas here. A new 5th shopkeeper that has the rotating stock. The icon rarities work amazing, and the collection and icon count feature is genuinely really interesting. I REALLY hope those are the features RobTop is 🤔ing about. And not the gacha stuff
Hey colon. While watching this video I want you to make a gd chest opening simulator website and a custom gd menu editor. I want you to add these because they will be fun especially the chest opening simulator website because it cool to see icons that you cant get from chests come out of chests like at 10:2810:4610:4810:5311:1611:18 and 11:20 . Btw I’m your biggest fan, keep up the great work.
Before I watch the vid imma make some predictions 1. Icons that cost money 2. Ads that play if you die a lot 3. Checkpoints in every level 4. Level editor is paid access 5. No rating system Edit: 4/5 baby lets gooo
I just love this video, I've watched over 10 times already Here's what I would also would have liked to see: - A "welcome back" chest that happens when you quit for like 3 months and then come back - 2762536382 additional premium currencies for events But anyways this was one of the funniest videos I've watched Well played Geometry Challenge Cologne :>
5:14 I used to play Cut The Rope 2 when I was younger and that had an energy system. But there was an item you could buy for in-game currency that would give you unlimited energy. However, this item was RIDICULOUSLY expensive to buy with regular gameplay (by this I mean no microtransactions) so I didn't get it for a while. One time it had a 20% discount for a day so I grinded an absurd amount of coins that day to finally buy it
Pug icon bundle every October that pops up when you're playing a level. Even if you're not dead, it will still pop up. The pug icon bundle costs $10 because the icon it is so rare.
14:12 $19.99 for the starter bundle is way too overpriced. You want that starter bundle to be a no brainer to purchase so that your player commit to your game. Maybe lower the price to just a dollar and maybe also add something like "800% extra value" in giant letters to make it more appealing. Rookie mistake + git gud at game dev /s
I personally find that when the starter bundle is overpriced, it will set a bar for people and you can overcharge for other stuff, which will seem cheap in comparison
I am fully convinced that Craig didn't even make his custom textboxes mod to make editing easier and instead came up with this entire video just to flex the mod.
GD should run in 360p and a max of 20 FPS with the song always starting 0.7 seconds late but you can unlock 1080p, unlocked FPS and regular song times by paying a subscription of $20 a month or $50 a year
11:28 if you're interested in playing project sekai do NOT buy bundles. they give such a minimal amount of gems its unfunny, and the materials in them will probably be used up within 3 days. if you want to use real life money for your honami birthday card, buy colorful+ or a premium mission pass.
Imagine if this video turns out not to be about p2w at all and Colon was just trolling all of us with the thumbnail, title and description, then changed it immediately after the premiere and make everyone watching afterwards wonder wtf every comment is talking about.
More ideas : 1.Orb, star, moon multipliers 2.Speed ups for energy regen 3.Buyable secret codes for keymasters 4.Online events with leaderboards where top 10 players get something
5.Maybe temporary boosters? More common ones will be feasible and convincing but the most rare ones will be ridiculous and only accessible through paywalls. 6. Daily or even weekly and monthly streaks with that can be only accessed through their official websites 7. Special deals that are exclusive to said website, convincing you to directly pay them instead of paying through google play 8. Offerwalls, you know what they are ( if you dont it is simply an offering tab that offers you to do surveys and play other games in exchange for in game currency) 9. Ridiculous and extremely annoying pop up deals (pointing at you Zynga, Socialpoint and SG) that could be disabled through in game purchase 10. The chances in-game (featured tab) will do you a favor if you pay, the more you pay, the higher the chances of better playthrough (for example maybe easier 7* levels instead of harder 7* ones?) So you will lose into hopelessness and turn into premium currency (Empires & puzzles, dragon city, 8 ball pool and Clash Royale 🖕 you all) 11. Remove the search tab and further diving down so there are only random 10 levels to choose from 12. Personalize deals with the assistance of the AI you will get deals based on how much you play, in what time, on which date, at your birthday etc. So every single person will getan entirely different deal based on their playthrough (like their fingerprint or eyelid) 13. Worsen the experience with deliberate bugs stutters and crashes (this is a quite step too far I'm done here lol) I am currently writing this studying branding design at college so putting them into practice right now. I hope it worked 💀💀

For the editor, have a free trial, either timed or quantitative

Timed ones have the advantage of users not wanting to waste it, and of course some will forget to cancel. However quantitative free trials really give the user a “taste” of what they could do, and perhaps they would be inclined to pay for it.
Also, you could add different tiers to the editor.
Editor Basic: Just basic features that make up a level (portals, basic blocks, spikes, etc). Only game soundtracks. $5/mo
Editor Plus: More advanced features, and you unlock some decorations. Some custom tracks from specific artists. $12/mo

Editor Max: Everything in Pro, plus early access to EXCLUSIVE upcoming content. The ability to import any sound or music. Also, a coloured name or title to show you have this so you can laugh at all the brokies. $45/mo

How about a VIP subscription. For way too much/month, you can gain access to exclusive icons, more objects to place in the editor (editor stays as a separate subscription), orb multipliers, more energy, an exclusive profile tag, and more! The editors stays separate to encourage people to buy both subscriptions. If they get just the editor, they’ll want the VIP pass to gain access to all the objects the editor has. If they get just VIP, they won’t feel like they’re getting everything they can out of it without the editor. I have so many more ideas for IAPs, like icon packs. Or how about full on DLCs, one could be platformer mode. Big packs that include mechanics that completely change the game. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
and a vip+ subscription that costs twice as much and only adds a few extra things
VIP Ultimate which gets you both subscriptions plus perks
@@IceYetiWins and it's actually 50% more the price of buying both normally

"Yes."
Modders are another example of that. I've spent 100 hours on strawberry jam for celeste and I just started the grandmaster lobby (the last 20% of content). All of that without getting any money, the mod is free.

I propose an idea to ruin it more. On PC, HD textures cost $10 (because mobile doesn't have hd textures, though maybe that can be made available through the battle pass). On both Mobile and PC, Medium Textures cost $5, and low quality textures cost $2. If you dont pay for any of these, all textures will be 1x1 pixel. You also have a limited number of clicks per day before having to buy more or watch an ad.

Reward Ads are optimal in my eyes (at least for my games and many others who I've seen). It's optional, so player experience is boosted. But, it offers a reward that is tempting enough that it will actually make decent revenue for the devs. Everyone wins!

Besides the goofiness in this video, there are some actually good ideas here. A new 5th shopkeeper that has the rotating stock. The icon rarities work amazing, and the collection and icon count feature is genuinely really interesting. I REALLY hope those are the features RobTop is 🤔ing about. And not the gacha stuff

Hey colon. While watching this video I want you to make a gd chest opening simulator website and a custom gd menu editor. I want you to add these because they will be fun especially the chest opening simulator website because it cool to see icons that you cant get from chests come out of chests like at 10:28 10:46 10:48 10:53 11:16 11:18 and 11:20 . Btw I’m your biggest fan, keep up the great work.
2:28 That has got to be the best ad placement I've ever seen. Got a good chuckle out of me. For once I was not unhappy to watch a midroll
Before I watch the vid imma make some predictions
1. Icons that cost money
2. Ads that play if you die a lot
3. Checkpoints in every level
4. Level editor is paid access
5. No rating system

5:14 I used to play Cut The Rope 2 when I was younger and that had an energy system. But there was an item you could buy for in-game currency that would give you unlimited energy. However, this item was RIDICULOUSLY expensive to buy with regular gameplay (by this I mean no microtransactions) so I didn't get it for a while. One time it had a 20% discount for a day so I grinded an absurd amount of coins that day to finally buy it
Battle Cats starts off with the Mobile Game strategies, but then started to give way too much "premium currency" away for free.
because they know most players won't get past empire of cats
Overall is still one of the best mobile games

Pug icon bundle every October that pops up when you're playing a level. Even if you're not dead, it will still pop up. The pug icon bundle costs $10 because the icon it is so rare.
I haven’t even watched the video yet but I know it’s gonna be a banger.
14:12 $19.99 for the starter bundle is way too overpriced. You want that starter bundle to be a no brainer to purchase so that your player commit to your game. Maybe lower the price to just a dollar and maybe also add something like "800% extra value" in giant letters to make it more appealing. Rookie mistake + git gud at game dev /s
I personally find that when the starter bundle is overpriced, it will set a bar for people and you can overcharge for other stuff, which will seem cheap in comparison
He literally said overpriced starter bundle 💀

GD should run in 360p and a max of 20 FPS with the song always starting 0.7 seconds late but you can unlock 1080p, unlocked FPS and regular song times by paying a subscription of $20 a month or $50 a year
YOO i made a game with dat ive gotten $4000 in like a month
(Edit)
It was the paid subscription, not the lag thing.
Good idea: if you get a duplicate icon, you get mana orbs. How much you get depends on the rarity
This is why EA should acquire geometry dash
it's the jumpscare god himself
Buy a Tartarus completion for just $69.99 Buy a checkpoint that allows you to respawn where you died for $4.99

they give such a minimal amount of gems its unfunny, and the materials in them will probably be used up within 3 days.

When he talks about ads youtube always shoves an ad into my face
More ideas :
1.Orb, star, moon multipliers
2.Speed ups for energy regen
3.Buyable secret codes for keymasters
4.Online events with leaderboards where top 10 players get something
Omg I forgot about the vaults
5.Maybe temporary boosters? More common ones will be feasible and convincing but the most rare ones will be ridiculous and only accessible through paywalls.
6. Daily or even weekly and monthly streaks with that can be only accessed through their official websites
7. Special deals that are exclusive to said website, convincing you to directly pay them instead of paying through google play
8. Offerwalls, you know what they are ( if you dont it is simply an offering tab that offers you to do surveys and play other games in exchange for in game currency)
9. Ridiculous and extremely annoying pop up deals (pointing at you Zynga, Socialpoint and SG) that could be disabled through in game purchase
10. The chances in-game (featured tab) will do you a favor if you pay, the more you pay, the higher the chances of better playthrough (for example maybe easier 7* levels instead of harder 7* ones?) So you will lose into hopelessness and turn into premium currency (Empires & puzzles, dragon city, 8 ball pool and Clash Royale 🖕 you all)
11. Remove the search tab and further diving down so there are only random 10 levels to choose from
12. Personalize deals with the assistance of the AI you will get deals based on how much you play, in what time, on which date, at your birthday etc. So every single person will getan entirely different deal based on their playthrough (like their fingerprint or eyelid)
13. Worsen the experience with deliberate bugs stutters and crashes (this is a quite step too far I'm done here lol)
I am currently writing this studying branding design at college so putting them into practice right now. I hope it worked 💀💀
5. In the online levels you Need to grind 24/7 just to be 100th Place and get to the 101th and lose cool icon and gemz
