You deserve all the praise coming your way!

Can't wait!!! I'll have to try to borrow a VR headset for this because looking around like that sounds so cool

I just want to wish you and philmakesnoise much success! 👏 This looks better and better with each glimpse!

Just here to support. You are doing an amazing job with this development. I have tons of respect for you really pushing the boundaries of what is possible and conceivable. (Loved hyperbolica for that reason). Can't wait to play!

honestly I wasn't expecting multiplayer, so hearing it's included is massively exciting. keep up the great work!

I get a lot of fun out of Walkabout Mini Golf, so I’m super excited to try the VR mode when it eventually releases!

Oh, I am _definitely_ going to wait for the VR version.

How has Hyperbolica and 4D Golf changed the way you think about 4D space? Has it given you insight to other topics related and unrelated to 4D space?

I'm looking forward to Online Multiplayer, even if it's not ready on release!

I still feel like I would be overwhelmed by the concept of a 4D-world. The hands-on experience might help and so I will give it a try.

@seanmunderloh3438

I hope you read this Mr. CodeParade. I don't know if you have been following other hyperbolic minecraft/world-building games that are being developed. I think all of them fall short in one way or another. I think it would be great to have a world builder with a similar style to Hyperbolica, where you use a {6,4} tiling of a hyperbolic plane on which you can build with subdivided blocks 1 meter wide. (It looks like that's what you use in Hyperbolica based on my measurement of the floor of the NEMO) The crucial difference from the other ones being made right now is that the top of a stack of these blocks would be an equidistant curve to the plane. I believe that Hyperblock (which seems like a dead project) uses a 3d tiling of 3d hyperbolic space instead of stacked blocks tracing out an equidistant curve. This difference would make it much easier to build things in hyperbolic space. I recently tried a version of Hypermine, and that also falls short because the curvature isn't as intense as it is in Hyperbolica. It also has too much variation in terrain height, which in my opinion is not needed in a hyperbolic game. Anyway, I can't thank you enough for making Hyperbolica. For years before you announced it I had dreamed of what it would be like to walk around on a hyperbolic plane. It would be so wonderful to see all the things people design in a hyperbolic world builder that you made.

i have to imagine this game ain't gonna be on quest i have to imagine its a performance nightmare on pc already

Please add a super secret 5D mode

This is sick, I cant wait.

I am so excited for this game!

Hold the phone! Where can I get a hyperbolica sweatshirt!?

The funny thing with Hyperbolica for me was that the VR version actually made me less motion sick than the flatscreen version. I was unable to play the game looking at the screen, it just hurt my eyes too much. But having space literally warp around me in VR? Just fine

As long as you start with the tutorial in VR, you'll be good!

Can you make 4D Snooker with the ball hitting physics?

Question: Will this be your last dive into higher dimension gameplay? If not, what kind of game do you have in mind to work on next?

I'm really hyped for that release! And, man, multiplayer sounds like an awesome idea for such a game. Though, I fear that hosting a centralized server might not be economical for you in the long-term, as is often the case for smaller indie games. It's always a little sad to see great mutliplayer games become pure offline/single player games. If it's a possibility for you, it would be awesome if you'd publish the server code (or just the server executable) to enable fans to host their own servers (or just used peer-to-peer-technology to make servers unnecessary). As my friend group tends to replay our multiplayer library regularly even years after releases, there are at least us handful players that would probably benefit from such future-proofing.

Are most people able to pick it up after a while? I'm genuinely very interested in this game! I'm excited to see what comes of it

I know this is unrealistic but it would be so cool if this was published to PS5 so I could play it on the PSVR2! I never thought about this being a VR game but it sounds really cool! Great video as always.

I just played Hyperbolica on the quest2 and its soo strange in VR. In a good way. Are you planning to bring 4D Golf for quest too?

Multiplayer *and* VR? Damn.

Comment about 2:08 : I am against mapping the left-right rotation (= yaw) to the controller, because in VR this should be delegated to the headset. Having your world spun around by things other than your actual head is one of the main causes of VR motion sickness. The other two axes, usually called "reel" and "twirl", I imagine should work fine mapped to a controller, because they have no 3D analog, and such don't interfere with our intuition for 3D movement. I suppose the most natural mapping would be to bind the reel to controller pitch (= up-down), the twirl to controller roll, and just leave the controller yaw un-mapped.

@Wulfstrex

3 ай бұрын

I can imagine that there will be a few options to choose from.

Are there any plans to add a multi-camera view? I find myself switching between the normal view and the "slice + volume" view a lot and it would be nice if I could get that latter view in the top corner or something. I'm only 1.5 hours into the game, so maybe this isn't a big problem if I play more and learn the courses, but this was just a thought. _(I think my problem is that I can't tell height (up/down) while in volume view so I need to constantly check the normal view to figure that out. I'm pretty much using volume view to understand the course)_ Edit: Also the ability to zoom out when in walking mode would be nice too!

How much easier would It be If you already have a lot of knowledge about the 4th dimension? I Have done a lot of research and even made some 4D things in desmos graphing calculator and in javascript. And even made a 5D gravity simulation. I have also played a mod with the slicing method that makes minecraft 4D

if your releasing it soon then in your next game, can you make it 4d as well? maybe a first person puzzle because all 4d games are third person.

Who made the music for this devlog video? Edit: The information has been added to the video description now.

will support for controllers like the Dualshock or Switch Pro be included for rotating the 3D compass since they also are 3 DOF controllers?
