This is strange, surreal meta video - I'm watching a video about someone playing a game about 3d printing. We live in a strange world!

I am so relieved, I thought I was the only one who stored all my tools on the floor.

So good

I would say that the game is more realistic than people might realize. Everything from the paltry profit from each print to the slow progress and the constant break downs. They even added the great decorating sense of the average 3D printing nerd. It's a contender for Starfield's "most innovative gameplay" award. 5-stars!

6/10 not enough bed leveling 😂

I'm disapointed too. I expected quality to be a thing.

This game is incredibly realistic. My tools are on the floor too.

I find it funny because when I need to work on my printer a lot of times I put it on the floor and sit down. Screws don't travel as far when you drop them when you're already on the floor.

This was an EXTREMELY charitable review. Congratulations on your kind, thoughtful restraint. Brutal snark in a velvet glove.

this game actually makes me happy to see haha, props to the people who made it. some bugs for sure, but definitely a fun thing to watch

Intriguing. I think a simple solution for the depth perception issue (placing objects in 3D space on a 2D screen is hard) could be to have a little circle/shadow on whichever surface is directly beneath the object. This is usually achieved using a decal or projector in platforming games, to aid in positioning the player character.

I didn't even see the "Crealty" typo the first time. I was wondering if the developer got the rights to use the brand name.

i'm sure they may not use CREALITY as its a protected trademark/brand/company name

Yes, my thoughts too. They got the Typeface right, so if you quickly glance at the in-game logo you would think it's spelled correctly.

Lol, I repaired my printer many times on the floor. Table space is a premium.

Michael! This is YOU’RE BEST VIDEO EVERY. I laughed so hard! Especially when you took the printer down off the bench to the floor, where your tools were conveniently located!😂

i enjoyed your commentary much more than the actual game.

Using the floor as storage. 10/10 realism as real maker

When the printer started rotating in the axis I least expected, I burst out laughing!

This is the funniest video game review I have seen in a very long time. Great job! 🤣

All of the aggravation with none of the payoff... Awesome.

I'm reminded of the game Uplink, which has a similar concept but with computers. I would echo the suggestion of adding challenging print jobs (e.g. exotic materials, detailed/large prints, bulk orders, deadlines), but I would also add repeat customers, working with "famous" designers, as well as choosing different types of printers for the job (whether cartesian, corexy, delta, belt etc.). One thing definitely missing is the initial printer calibration rite of passage.

Now there's a game I could have sworn I would never hear about ever again...what a good time it was. The only jobs I didn't care for as much were the ones requiring LAN hacks, those always seemed to trip me up more than they should have. Granted, independently hacking a fat bank account and transferring it to yourself before the authorities can catch up with you was plenty challenging as well, though the reward was quite worth the trouble. Perhaps this simulator could have something similar, where you need to perform one or more minigames to kitbash a bunch of components together to create an extra-fast or more durable printer?

The floor IS the workbench.

A game about 3D printing NEEDS to be in 3D VR, make it for quest then maybe.

Make the laptop movable because it's a laptop!

I'm just waiting for the simulator simulator game. They've already come out with every other type of simulator game at this point.

Michael, you are hilarious! I loved this video. As to the game - I’ll keep my comment to myself 🤣

It’s obvious they took som inspiration from PC building simulator. I think pulling in CAD models from real open source printers would be a great addition to give it a more realistic feel.

Thanks for the heads up on the quality of the game so I don’t waste my time.

This should be a two part. One for noobs and people without a printer and one all nerding out and roasting it for , well, us.

right - needs a feature to randomly produce blobs or spaghetti. Or fire.

There are some more built in real games in Marlin for the LCD12864

I have a Mandala bed on my Ratrig. Would you recommend I upgrade to a Level 5 bed?

If I wanted to watch a virtual rendition of a 3D printer, then I'd just watch one of your videos 🙂

the issue is this is too broken to cost money. get it working and unclunky then charge for updates or for the sequel. this has good "bones" as a premise though just needs more time in the oven.

That creality printer is looking an awful lot like a Mega S

I just wanted to comment on this video to let you know how appreciative I am of you and all you do. I learend how to 3D model from your onshape series and have been designing and printing my own parts to fix things around the house and creating things that bring me joy and generally make my life easier. I got a printer for Christmas and although it was "cool" i was ready to put it in the attic after a week of printing crap from thingiverse. I stumbled on your onshape videos and now my 3d printer is my most prize possession. You didnt just save my 3d printer, you taught me an invaluable skill i will carry with me for the rest of my life.

The developer seems to have specialized in building generic simulator games, which is fine, however the game itself does not sound fun...

Realism 110%!

Omg! We all hate putting a printer together IRL, now we have to put one together in a clunky game? No thanks.

I mean, who doesn't have tools on the floor? Not me, I use the world's cheapest toolbox.

How’s the race car going?

Prints should fail in various ways that the user must troubleshoot and repair. If your going to make a sim at least make it educational.

Really amusing. A very nicely written script. Thanks for the giggles, shame about the game 😊

TTgaming when😊

Before even finishing the video, I'm going to say, right off the bat, the asking price of this game is wayyyy too high. Especially for what is, essentially, a meme game.

seems the game is in early alpha. nno in game tutorial, no way to actually send packages, people appearing and disappearing inside your apartment, clunky item mechanics, etcetera. so, perhaps a first time ame dev a well, using premade models and building really basic functions around them. almost a proof of concept at this point.

I love 3d printing and creating things to print and ship but this game would quickly get on my nerves. Add a BFG to use when the 3d printer doesn't work and I'm in.

I guess you are suppoesed to take the printer to the workbench instead of dumping it on the floor though lol... Like a print area and maintenance area

I played this sim in a live stream for hours only for the game to ruin the save at the very end and lose my progress. haha. Had fun otherwise.

Damn, I never thought 3D printing would become a game

Ikr. A bit rude to just vanish without leaving any comments to his subsribers !

If only real life was so easy. lol

First of all, I'll let you know that it has nothing to do with the channel, it's just a rant about the world of 3D printing. Today, I bring a different perspective on 3D printers, based on the research I carried out. I came to a conclusion that I would like to share. I have a comment about the world of 3D printing, which, contrary to what some say about accessibility, is still a world for few. Despite the criticism I may receive for this, I believe that although printers have become more affordable, there is still a long way to go before they become an achievable dream for many people, including myself. It's not just the initial cost of the printer that must be considered. An often overlooked point is the ongoing cost of the filament. Just like in the early days of inkjet printers, where the price of ink was an obstacle, today we face similar challenges with filament. Even though printers have become a little cheaper, filament remains a considerable investment. It is notable that over the years we have not seen a significant reduction in filament prices. There appears to be a lack of real competition, resulting in companies setting prices almost like a monopoly. Filament quality is also a concern, with reports of poor quality not justifying the investment. Another aspect that is rarely addressed is the amount of material wasted due to unsuccessful prints, especially for beginners. Even though errors decrease over time, they do not disappear completely. This is a relevant point to consider, as it contributes to additional costs and not to mention environmental issues. That's why I say it and I repeat, cast the first stone if anyone who has never been through this, even with vast experience, still prints with errors and has to do it all over again, no matter the printer or your knowledge, there will be errors and as a result waste of material and input costs. what we need and start thinking about this issue, well the filament should be cheaper or there should be a collection of inputs by suppliers especially those that went wrong or leftovers that new printers leave to make multicolor parts and why not buy back the material, it would help the person who bought it and nature thanks you. antes de qualquer coisa ja aviso que não tem nada a ver com o canal é apenas um desabafo sobre o mudo das impressões 3d Hoje, trago uma perspectiva diferente sobre impressoras 3D, baseada nas pesquisas que realizei. Cheguei a uma conclusão que gostaria de compartilhar. Tenho um comentário sobre o universo da impressão 3D, que, ao contrário do que alguns afirmam sobre a acessibilidade, ainda é um mundo para poucos. Apesar das críticas que posso receber por isso, acredito que, embora as impressoras tenham se tornado mais acessíveis, ainda há um longo caminho para que se tornem um sonho alcançável para muitas pessoas, incluindo eu mesmo. Não é apenas o custo inicial da impressora que deve ser considerado. Um ponto muitas vezes negligenciado é o custo contínuo do filamento. Assim como no início das impressoras a jato de tinta, onde o preço da tinta era um obstáculo, hoje enfrentamos desafios semelhantes com o filamento. Mesmo que as impressoras tenham ficado um pouco mais baratas, o filamento continua sendo um investimento considerável. É notável que, ao longo dos anos, não tenhamos visto uma redução significativa nos preços do filamento. Parece haver uma falta de concorrência real, resultando em empresas que estabelecem preços quase como um monopólio. A qualidade do filamento também é uma preocupação, com relatos de baixa qualidade que não justificam o investimento. Outro aspecto pouco abordado é a quantidade de material desperdiçado devido a impressões mal sucedidas, especialmente para iniciantes. Mesmo que os erros diminuam com o tempo, não desaparecem completamente. Este é um ponto relevante a considerar, pois contribui para custos adicionais e sem falar das questões ambientais. por isso falo e repito , atire a primeira pedra quem nunca passou por isso ,mesmo com uma vasta experiência, ainda continua imprimindo com falhas e teve que fazer tudo de novo , não importa a impressora ou seu conhecimento , vai haver erros e como consequência desperdício de material e gastos com insumos. o que precisamos e começar a pensar sobre esta questão , poxa bem que o filamento deveria ser mais barato ou houvesse o recolhimento dos insumos por parte dos fornecedores principalmente aqueles que deram errado ou sobras que as novas impressoras deixam para fazer peças multicolor e porque não comprar de volta o material , ajudaria a pessoa que comprou e a natureza agradece.

Like Rule 34 (look it up yourself may be NSFW), there should be a Rule (77?) that simply states, "Anything can me made into a game." Doesn't mean that the game has to be good or not.

Michael, you can actually make more money by "flipping" printers (buying the cheapest used printers, and then immediately sell them) than doing anything else in the game.

Seems designed to make people not want to print?

капець ахахах 😂

how about- why?

Who the hell keep making these weird sinulator games.

Interesting but not for me.

For me it's frustrating even to watch. But i don't understand the purpose of tractor simulator either (apart from professional training)

There's educational value. Simulating common processes, or failure modes can help someone not familiar learn in a low-cost entertaining way. Having levels of challenge, and some guidance at lowest level could make this possible. For a noob, the current sim could result in an overload of frustration. It has potential.

15:08 About those shady customers...There could be one that wants a firearm suppressor/silencer printed and then you go to prison for 10 years if you do it. Game Over! LOL

Sorry, the "game" looks like garbage.

Who wouldn’t want to pay money to play a game simulating a repetitive unrewarding boring job. Seems like a real contender to the hit game grocery store stocker simulator.

Eww they’re using AI art for their game too

that game looks awful. the developers should looks at pc builder sim 2

worst.game.ever.

Ugh. Another generic "simulator".

got damnit, this is something that thought about like a week ago, maybe with different time settings: early reprap, the big boom, etc... but this looks like this is just a cheap unity asset flip to cash in on 3D printing. My version would have more features, like a reliability score (a cheaper printer would have a larger chance of failure than a more expensive one, but you could also mod your cheap one to perform better),. Sadly I can't really make games... So if the developer is reading this, get in touch...

15:32 Doesn’t seems like it. A one a gone fire and forget. No news since 1st December of 2023. He doesn't even look at the forum … or doesn't reply, at least.

If I get this game, it will take away the time I need to fix my printer. Hey there’s a novel idea. Real life
