Under settings, we made a checkbox labeled “Run Program Faster”. The state was saved but it didn’t do anything.

We turned it “on” when people said things were slow. Usually they were happy and no one complained the “run faster” option wasn’t working.

Thats fucking psychology!

Lol. This is hilarious.

"Magic"
"More magic"

Best. Feature. Ever.

Thanks, will do this for my current project at work

@d4ng3r0u5 XD I remember that

This reminds me of PC's still coming with a "turbo" button long after that feature disappeared from the motherboards inside.

@PhiloticGhost That’s kinda what is was modeled after.

Are you a developer of Geometry Dash?

You could even make the animations like slighltly faster. That way it is really noticeable.

That's awesome!

@filthyranter Who were you asking? Noone here sounds like RobTop... (thats just ony guy btw)

Nobody complained why it wasn't checked by default?

@WIPocket OP, because Geometry Dash has an option that says something like this too

@oudalally The Turbo button was actually a slow down button for older games.

To me this sounds like you are bullshitting customers. I know that's how it's often done, but this does not justify it for me personally.

@filthyranter There is a smooth fix option, that works by setting a max jump between frames. That means that when it is in use, it slows laggy levels down. The downside is that it cant slow down the song, so in laggy levels you loose sync very quickly.
There is also a low detail mode (a global one, not just per level) that disables particles.

ROFL

thats amazing

@WIPocket Smooth Fix never did anything for me, not even in heavy levels 👌

@filthyranter In some VERY laggy levels you can pretty much get speed hacks in vanilla gd using an option in the settings...

So fucking true! Psychological hacks ftw!

@d4ng3r0u5 magic with a kick😂🥞

How to make client love your work and think you as hardworking developer 101

Love this, will include in my upcoming project 😂

This is hilarious and brilliant.

The fact that this actually works on people frustrates the fuck out of me. -_-
