- a *_wise_* person
**A 4d game, in a 3d perspective, on a 2d screen, with my 1d brain, having 0d maidens.**
1d brain is kinda accurate since our intuition is often described as linear.
@@bleachigo990 😪
@@Leedramor yes, our way of thinking is linear, thats why we can only operate 2 numbers at the time, and by numbers i mean digits. although our vision is definitely 2 dimensional and our understanding of space is 3D, hmm, that brings something to my mind, our hearing is linear (1D) because we understand soundwaves that comes from one direction, but what about touch, smell and taste?
The ability to rotate through the 4th dimension is interesting, but incomplete. We're still only rotating on a singular axis within that dimension (or rather, we're only rotating that dimension along one of the three possible axes we have in 3D space, specifically the "vertical" axis.)
Eh still counts
its not ment to be a true representation of 4d as 3d beings we cant view 4d what he is doing is he is making it so every time we rotate were seeing a different 3d slice of the 4th dimensional world for example imagine a cube and a 2d being viewing the cube they have the ability to rotate the cube but all they ever see is squares their still viewing the 3d world just seeing 2d slices of it and notice to them its still only x and y no depth even though the 3d has depth you can apply same logic to 4d
Its complete enough to allow the player to see and move to every location in the 4d map, which is good enough for a minecraft like game. Obviously a 4d space game would need more axes.
erm actually 🤓

Oh that's why the 4D spiders are infinitely big... or is it?
@@jalen8r Or think about this; a 2D character digs into a 3D wall to get away from a 3D spider The hole has length and width, but no depth. Now me, as a 3D spider, can't follow because I have depth and can't fit. In fact, I can't even see the hole because it's 0 inches wide from my point of view. Not just 1 x 10^-999999... inches wide, literally NO inches wide
I’m pretty sure you still mine the whole 4D block. But you just see a 3D slice of it disappear. And when you place it back down you still only see a 3D slice.

Same, stuff like this is what makes me stay awake at 2am
Toroidal field
With the 2d character in the 3d world, rotating 90 degrees in 3d shows a hidden slice of the 3d world. Rotating another 90 degrees shows the origional slice but flipped, etc. With the 3d character in the 4d world, rotating 90 degrees shows a hidden slice of the 4d world. Rotating 90 degrees again shows the origional slice of the 4d world, but flipped. This means instead of one 3d world, there is now two 3d worlds, offset by 90 degrees in the 4th dimension. A 4th dimensional being in a 5 dimensional world, would see a 4d world. There is now another 4d world rotated 90 degrees on the 5th dimension. Is we, a 3d character, would be able to see up to four 3d worlds, and 4 flipped 3d worlds.
I'm literally just a random nobody person. But I think the closest thing to imagining it is if your vision suddenly changed to a kaleidoscope (not sure if that's correct) type view where you constantly saw hundreds of versions of what could be in front of you. That wouldn't be realistically correct from a fourth dimensional point of view of what's actually happening but for us I think it's how our mind would perceive it. I'm very open to new points of view that's just what I've been able to deduce we would perceive with how we perceive things typically
You're actually a genius with this. It really is all about the lense of perspective

i love it, i always been interested by the concept of dimensions, and this video helps me a lot to understand more it, never seen a game made like this, hope it work.
This is the most intuitive way to explain 4 dimension I have seen so far. Thank you very much and congrats for the work. Cheers!
Of all the 4d explanation videos, this one actually got me to understand it the most.
same
I get the concept, but I still don't know wtf the 4th dimension actually is. I can totally wrap my mind around the 2d to 3d thing... but still don't understand what 4d would be in our reality. The game cleverly overlays 2 worlds and allows you to cycle through it but what does in mean in our world? Just an alternate existence that we can't see? Ghosts?
@@Aerational No, I believe it's the planes of existence that we merely can't interact with and vice versa. What the 4th dimension actually is for "us" in reality is time. We're limited by our ability to move backwards and forwards but also exit our space curvature. If M theory is true, the ability of a 5th dimensional being would be multi dimensional. Meaning they could move through both time and space between spaces that're physically static to us. The concept mind you of a 4D space in a video game is merely adding "extra space you can't see" by extending your horizon of movement with a "different axis" meaning with this given ability you can move through "3D space" like a "4D being", you still can't actually exist in 4D space because that would break you out of the 3rd dimension into whatever it looks like beyond..3D space wouldn't make sense in 4D. We look like we're in a transparent box to them. They can see through the box...they can also see us as we do stuff back and forth like a play/rewind. Our string of reality is linear, it changes along it's route but what is is and what is will always be and have been. Beyond that for us are possibilities endless both great and terrible. Hopefully our sliver is a Goldilock universe. Just to add, I have personally held theories on this matter. For example, everything you do changes reality, you just never witness it. I also believe that we die many times through our lives but we exist in the universe where "it never happened"...Not sure if it's fate like a roulette wheel or based in some higher structured gambit. Your willpower and actual doings are what changes your reality. We will exist in the same reality together for a time, but I will not be the same person typing this to you in the same space time after the fact. I will be the same person having remembered this etc- but on some cosmic level, the universe we're at right now as I write this has split countless times already over. It's mind boggling if you actually think about infinity...
@@Aerational The somewhat demoralizing answer is, you cannot. Our physiology has not evolved to view in higher dimensions. So, the only way to visualize it is analogy to the 2d creature in a 3d world. Also, it is not 2 3d worlds overlapping. It is infinitely many 3d worlds, specifically uncountably infinite. Compare this with the 2-d creature in the 3-d world, where each possible orientation gives a new world completely distinct from each other.
@@Aerational Theoretical physicists believe math shows the possibilities of a fourth dimension, but there's no actual evidence yet, maybe the reason we fail to understand the 4th dimension is simply because it doesn't exist, outside of math, maybe we will have more answers in the future.

The little 2d guy in the 3d world is already a pretty solid concept for a game I think. Imagine a co-op game where you're playing as an observer of a 3d world trying to help the other player navigate and solve puzzles from a 2d perspective of that 3d world
It's kinda similar but you should check out the game perspective, I think you'd like it

@@dimitree7543 well that's a very, very loaded question that even our smartest string theorists have been struggling to answer. From what I understand, 2D time would basically allow for time travel. Consider that we have 1D time, which clearly puts the past behind the present, and the present behind the future in a chronological number line. If you were to add a second dimension, making a time plane, that would allow you to loop back to the past, opening up Pandora's box to all sorts of paradoxical dilemmas. To keep things simple, I would sidestep all that craziness and simply apply multiverse theory or different rates of time (how "fast" time passes) as the extra dimensions of time.

@@TYGR2115 Wouldn't that plane still forbid actual time travel and instead you would go to a point in time in a universe that is an exact copy of ours and you disappear from your own timeline.

One thing I’d recommend checking out is a book titled, “The Boy Who Reversed Himself” by William Sleator. It’s a children’s/young adult book, but it also explains 4d space from the perspective of a 3d person, and what happens when you get lost in a 4d world.
I like how the hyperspiders, because they need to approach you in all 4 dimensions, gradually get easier to see as they closer to you, since they pass through your 3d slice of the world more and more, meaning it isn't completely unfair to the player.

This is just amazing. I got chills watching this!
I'd pay good money for a puzzle game that incorporates that 2D character in a 3D world mechanic.
tbh same, you could make such cool horror games using that
fez is kind like that
if anyone does this lmk too ;)
It exists, it is called orthorobot and it is free
FEZ is pretty much that
I love how the inventory is 3d cubes, instead of squares, such a little but nice detail
except this is 4d cube
hexagons are the bestagons
@@XiaoKyonko That's not a hexagon...
@@40watt53 yes they are
@@40watt53 Hexagons have six sides. I feel like most of us learn that in kindergarten lol. MAYBE first grade.
I'm looking forward to more updates. I imagine myself hiding wiring in the fourth dimension then all my buildings look like they're being magically powered. From the right 3-D plane.
The mastery of the concept of 4D you must have had to create this is crazy.
This has just unlocked a new concept of thinking I believe I will carry throughout the rest of my life.
This is really bad for anxiety 🤣 what if a 4th dimensional alien attacks? I'll never see it coming!?

This was amazing! Incredible job. I do physics and it's always hard trying to visually understand what the 4rth dimension looks like. With this game you give a perfect representation! Very good job man!
You should rotate to a direction of 90 degrees(shown by your 4d compass) so that you can view the stereo graphic projection of a whole area in a 2d plane, so that way you can cover all the holes that the 4d spider is getting in, I learned this on 3blue1brown quaternions video :D
as a math nerd i really appreciated the fact that this is an accurate representation of perceiving a 4d world as a 3d being, nice work, you have my sub
AND it’s the quickest simplest explanation yet
@@menaatefadly that too, the analogy he made made much more sense than trying to comprehend quaternions
@@kono152 ye lmao.
And my axe!
I have adhd but I understood everything in the video well.
Him: *gets a twig* Also him: “now we can defend ourselves from any 4th dimensional creatures!”
as someone who has walked alone at night, I can say that twigs are a +20 def boost
well it's a 4th dimensional twig
Basically, hitting someone with a 4D stick would be like 70 years of getting hit with that stick, every single day of your life
@@morticias5043how would that work?
@@TempoflowwBro it was obviously a joke.
The most comprehendible explanation of the fourth dimension I have ever seen. Truly, if ever there were a video more deserving of a like it must only exist in the fourth dimension. I am extremely protective of my KZhead recommendations, and usually anything I find interesting but don’t want to see more of is removed from my history in an effort to control what the algorithm shows me. This video, however, is definitely going to stick around in my history.
that frog was an amazing explanation bro 10,534
Damn if you're ever slightly off angle in the 4th dimension for whatever reason, it would totally destroy your ability to properly navigate the 3D world and ever re-orient yourself back into the 3D space you were familiar with. It would be like trying to unmix liquids. That would be a devastating prank for a 4th dimensional being to pull, just grab you and slightly turn you in the 4th dimension and shatter your entire perception and interaction with reality.
You just described a DMT trip😅
@@PsilocyBramlmao
U could probs see inside some peeps
Lol
Nah 4th dimensional being live in a world where they see and move in all 4 at the same time. What you’re talking about is a 3D being moving through a 4D world
Can't wait to see how extremely chaotic multiplayer will be with players coming out of nowhere
this is art...thank you for this value!
This is the most interesting video game concept I've ever seen. It's mesmerizing.
This looks like it'd make for a pretty incredible survival horror game
No seriously, all it needs is a good narrative and a spooky scary skeletons
@@Eniramos619skeletons are fun, but you could make something exponentially more horrifying in a game like this with such unpredictable mechanics
This would be insane if it was made in VR, so you technically play as a 3D character in a 4D world
I've been saying it for a while too. Or better yet a 3d holographic projection of a tesseract
fucking throw up simulator
that's a lot of headaches
@@bibsp3556 that would just be a cube would'nt it?
@pradyumnbisht4077 perhaps, but you could rotate it through a 4th dimension and see how changes look as a 3d object instead of a 2d one
This is one of the most easily graspable ways I’ve seen of explaining 4th dimensional space, kudos!
This was awesome, thanks!
This is actually the most intuitive explanation of the 4th dimension I've found yet. Makes it very easy and simple to understand how it really works.
I'm to stupid I guess I still don't understand it
Carl Sagan's flatland is up there too!
@@hipjoeroflmto4764 It will never be intuitive to us. We're still stuck with a brain that can only think in 3 dimensions.
😔smol monkey brain
@@adolphbot That is wrong. We are definitely able to comprehend how 4d would work in theory. Simply put, the fourth dimension is just an infinitely long series of 3d worlds strung in a line. When you walk in positive Z direction, you are moved further on that line, moving through the parallel 3d worlds. When you walk in the negative Z direction, you will end up back where you started. Pretty simple really
This is awesome!
It really is!

Hello random game dev commenting on a video about the 4th Dimension
This game has a huge potential, it can grow a lot
Sir, please continue to make video games. Your use of them to convey vague metaphysical concepts visually is both insightful educationally, but also they look like they're a breath of fresh air into video games
The artistic potential of this game should not be underestimated
Man, I wish I was a four-dimensional being so I could perceive what was going on without making my brain twist itself into a knot.
What about 5th? 🤨🤨
What even is the 4th dimension in this game? Longituwidth??? Verticaldepth??? Even looking at the compass doesn't make sense to my smooth brain. I am just so amazed when seeing how the 3D house is full of holes in 4D. What is this 4D dimension then? What's it called? How does it work in-game? How much square meters or cubes are required to build a house in 3D vs 4D then? OMG, the burning questions, please answer them!!!
@Ivan Katalinic I heard somewhere that it's actually called trength. And the fourth dimension is exactly what 2d would be to 3d. Basically, a lot of 3-dimensional worlds are stuck on top of each other to form a 4-dimensional world in the same way a cube is a bunch of squares stacked on top of each other. Also, if a cube's area is n^3, with n being the side length, than a tesseract would be n^4
If you were a 4D being you would be able to perceive every part of the interior of a 3D object without any occlusion; when we see a 3D object what we are really looking at is part of the edge of it’s volume viewed ‘side on’ in 4D space. I wonder if 3D space would start to seem claustrophobic if we somehow figured out how to truly visualise higher dimensional spaces, like being forced to view the world through a slit of paper.
Hello Being, this is very cool I think if you keep doing these kind of things many great things will come out ❤
So thats how the 4 dimension works trippy, amazing video
Considering us 3D beings can’t even comprehend what a 4D world would look like, this is fucking insane
We can, you just can't.
@@VisitorOf22 no you can't. you just think you can because you want to feel special.
@@LineOfThy It's simple, if you've ever watched the KIDS animation "Flatland". There's even a short version, so even you can comprehend within 10 minutes.

@@mirek190 Congratulations on your observation. What you don't seem to notice is that OP spoke about comprehending what it would look like, not to actually see it.

how is it counter-intuitive?
@@itsmollang8301 travelling thorough a 4D space is allele bit like walking through a maze using only your sense of touch, its not impossible, it's just not the easiest concept to grip.

This is actually such a genius idea for a game, the 4D aspect of it. Whether in this more Minecrafty style or even a story-driven game that gives context to the 4D aspect as well.
Imagine getting lost because you sneezed and hit the scroll wheel.
Calling it now: the _"imagine a fourth dimensional being dragged you into it's world and gave you a magic dial to better your chances at survival"_ explanation will be the main story of the full game. And that entity- or something like it- is the game's equivalent of Minecraft's Ender Dragon, and the final boss of the game.
imagine dropping that dial in a pool of lava lmao
would love to see that
And you could make it hop from plane to plane making it harder to hit
