Editing GRIEF (section)

===Creation process/cancellation===
In April 2022, GRIEF's layout was finished,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd2qPxNi6Zw</ref> stirring mixed reactions. Some praised it as a nostalgic nod to its predecessor, while others criticized it for a lack of originality. Despite criticism, production continued, with the decoration process lasting 16 months and featuring periodic showcases from decorators. A preview was released on icedcave's channel on 15 April 2023.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCHbxxWhgSI</ref> However, complications arose when one of the two parts Burgadahz decorated was allegedly replaced by greafer.

The level was completed in August 2023 and showcased on the 11th.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQXnREyaO34</ref> Unfortunately, it faced criticism after its showcase and was labelled unoriginal. Additionally, the supposed removal of Burgadahz's part sparked criticism, raising concerns about icedcave casually discarding hard work. There was speculation that icedcave replaced Burgadahz's part because Burgadahz had leaked Aeternus, a project icedcave was closely associated with. According to icedcave, greafer made his part before Burgadahz did and that the Aeternus leak had nothing to do with removing Burgadahz's part. icedcave further stated that Burgadahz's second part was only made because greafer was not satisfied with his part, and Burgadahz offered to make another part with icedcave's approval, but icedcave stated he would only replace greafer's part if he liked the new one more, which he did not, so it never got implemented.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUsebPNu9lM&lc=Ugw7qyzpYkjlI8lj7wF4AaABAg</ref> However, from Burgadahz's perspective, icedcave told him he liked his part more than greafer's because it fit better and was more optimized, taking about 5,000 objects. Unfortunately, icedcave allegedly never told him his part would be replaced, and he said he was going to keep it on the level.

Regardless, because of the backlash, icedcave cancelled the level altogether. However, once the controversy settled, he revived it and waited for Doggie to begin verification.
