Short status update about the recent skin event!
I'm very disappointed

I went into this expecting a fun playthrough from start to finish, challenge was something I was looking forward to as well to lock the harder to obtain objectives behind proper skill
The problem comes with the fact that after around the 8th or 9th level, the "difficulty shift" is more of a quality change than anything. It only goes downhill over time and everything becomes a memorizing game that really makes it hard to enjoy when theres little skill required and the levels require you to be lucky mostly. Stage 14 was the biggest example of this, I almost considered giving up for the night having beaten 13 because of how tedious and unfun Stage 14 was, but I did manage to make it through.
I'm not asking for a difficulty nerf, but the difficulty ingame currently is extremely artifical and it's not fun to play at all

!!!IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO BRIGHT LIGHTS DO NOT PLAY THE EVENT!!!

My eyes are usually fine dealing with bright lights, but the eye strain I've gotten staring at constantly turning bright colors has actually physically pained me so much that I had to play from Stage 10-14 with the lowest possible brightness.
It's also very upsetting that the music is forced. I don't mind most of them and even was introduced to a new one that I am very fond of (Stage 4, very femtanyl-inspired which I love), but on the levels where I don't care for the music much I have to mute Roblox just so I can put up with all the aforementioned tasks
(EDIT: There actually IS a way to revert the music back to normal blue spheres, but it is not communicated nor hinted at at all anywhere. You have to move up on the main stage select to find the music changer.)
Overall, I would normally chalk it up to me being biased about not liking blue spheres, but the levels given and everything considered has put a sour taste in my mouth with much to be desired

Hopefully something is done about all these things to improve the experience but I severely doubt anything will change unfortunately, and that hurts me personally with how much I care for this game. Currently it feels like the final rewards will only be locked to a small amount of people who get lucky enough to beat it, which is very frustrating to me that a normal player who isnt majorly experienced with blue spheres will most likely obtain massive FOMO due to the absurdity of the stages currently. I do intend to be one of those people who reach the final goals, but know that I think something needs to change with the levels and overall event currently due to its structure
For now, I'm stopping at 14 and will probably pick up on a later day, but my eyes genuinely need to rest lmao

Wishing you all the best of luck!

I'll be posting the three remaining levels I have published in the meantime of working on the other one. After those are finished, I'll try to retrun to a consistent upload schedule, but it'll likely no longer be CSS-related, so don't get your hopes up. I play a lot of asym games on roblox so don't be surprised if thats what my channel becomes
My final level IS STILL PLANNED, just not even close to done yet, though progress is going very well
Wishing everyone the best of luck with the event starting tomorrow! As much as I personally hate blue spheres, I'm sure it'll hopefully be smooth sailing for me

Hey
I don't know who still checks this channel anymore, but I apologize for not having made a proper announcement
I'm done with CSS, a lot of burnout piled onto my lack of development and how far behind I've fallen with all the good levels out there, it took a toll on me that I just didn't want to deal with right now especially with personal shit
I'm making one last level, a send off if you will, made for my interest and mine alone. If you like it, cool, if you dont, I don't care, but I'll release it when I like the finished product
Unsure when it'll be, cant even guarantee it'll be this year, but I apologize to those of you who actually cared about the stuff I was doing. I suggest checking out ‪@boazdoazy‬ and ‪@kurageraku‬ for anything CSS-related if you do still play the game
In any case, I'll be back eventually, just not now. Sorry about that lol, I'm lazy as hell
Cheers

"I'm quitting CSS guys" is what I would say if I was unoriginal
Happy April fools! I actually don't have my 4/1 video ready yet unfortunately, but I'll try and focus on that more and get it out later this month. If I could guess, somewhere in the 20s of this month, but don't hold me to it because I'm awful at deadlines.
In general I'm gonna be slowing down on CSS stuff for quite a while because now that I've exhausted myself with a lot of level revamps, I've lost any original ideas to use for new levels (until we get new stuff for levels of course), which is causing issues. I'll be doing a lot of Forsaken stuff from here on out, so if you see this and like that stuff then stick around for that. Won't be anything original of course as mostly everything I could do has been done, but I'll try and keep it interesting if nothing else.
That's all for now, have a good tomfoolery day!

Regarding that poll that I (admittedly) forgot to make sooner, it's about time I ask this
I've been thinking about changing Green Grove's name due to the already existing Green Grove in 3D Blast (which is not related to mine), and would like to know what those of you who read this think
The winning option isn't guaranteed but it will be taken into account, however if Green Grove wins then the name will likely remain unchanged
I appreciate any and all feedback I gain from you guys on this kind of stuff so do keep in mind my openness to ideas if I see fit

Little update on SIS
Only about two levels are left until everything is done! I've been pretty busy over quite a few nights, but it's definitely paying off with how close I am to being done with all of this.
After I finish the last levels, it's on to the cutscenes, editing, and custom music for certain parts.
I can't reveal anything just yet without spoiling big things, but I can assure you this will be a massive project for me that balances both quality AND quantity.
I'll be making a poll soon about a level name, but everything else from there on is going to be done in due time.
Here's to a hopefully good 2025 for CSS
