Hey there, I'm the other builder alongside Ninebyte, we are so hyped to see Asmon checking out our project! Finished versions will be released soon, we can't wait for you guys to experience it!
Looks amazing Dhakhar. Great builds all around.
Nice work man.
Dude! This is out of this world!
These builds are absolutely beautiful
Perhaps we could get an asmongold valheim world tour in the meantime.
Thank you so much for checking out the video. @dhakhar and I are super happy to have the full free version out in January (edit: Its Feb 25th and looks like a few more weeks and it's done! Gotta get it right!) for everyone to experience!
SO excited this looks incredible af
This looks amazing. Thank you for such dedication.
Lets gooooo!
Take your time with it and have fun :D
@@innerg_92 Cant wait to share it! Thank you
devs need to hire these guys to make structures to be put in the base game....there's not enough variety anymore in vanilla
I would love to see Valheim devs react to this. I'm sure they'd be ecstatic to know that people love their game this much
Now I'm not into valheim as a player cause well I don't own it.
However it does impress me. This mod especially.
Anyways is the valheim team not considered indie? If so I also imagine since valheim kinda dies in popularity they may be running off income and revenue to stay afloat, meaning they may not have the resources to hire anyone new.
They could however at the least reach out to this guy and his team and collaborate or partner with them for a deal or something.
Tbh if this stuff was put officially into valheim then I would most likely buy it
Hiring people? Valheim dev team? L00000L
Yes! More abandoned locations even, empty ruins waiting to be found and rebuilt/refurbished would be amazing let alone populated locations.
@@sacullll
Does Iron Gate have a frugal history with hiring people?
It’s honestly mind boggling to me that we’re at the point in video games that modders are making full on early 2000s rpg experiences inside of a relatively small indie game. Just amazing.
It’s fantastic but just remember that it’s usually easier to build upon an established platform than to create a platform from scratch. That being said for anything from a AA and AAA game I have zero patience or sympathy for unfinished games.
Never forget. DOTA came from a mod for warcraft 3, league got inspired by it and popularised it. An entire new genre of game was born from a mod pack for a blizzard RTS
@@ethanwalker955 And before that Tower Defense from SC1! :)
@@ethanwalker955 Also Counter-Strike was a mod for Half-Life. It's funny how the community makes the best games out of games. And now the devs use them as cash grabs.
@@SuperPentti yup counter strike went to shit when valve bought it. Not right away but over time.
Valheim dev team should hire these guys and make this part of the game offically
The thing about Valheim, which is the game I'm playing most right now, is that it's unplayable multiplayer. The netcode is so garbage it simply can't be played with friends reliably or be enjoyable. Apparently the reason no one can fix the lag is because you would have to recode the entire game from the ground up to fix it.
why tf would they do that lmfao
@@wickian9571
Nah, there's a netcode mod through Comfy Valheim that fixes Valheim so you can play with 50+ people without lag. Maybe even more now, I haven't played for a year.
@@wickian9571 Personally, I like playing survival and crafting games solo. Maybe the devs had imagined the game like that initially.
@@Ligael_Verne From what I understand that's exactly what happened. They made the game to be single player, then added in multiplayer as an afterthought a bit before release. Or at least that what I read somewhere.
My friends and I are about to explore that world day 1. We always come back to this game and I can't wait to sink my teeth into this as a druid.
While waiting, you can probably check The Olde Road mod. It's a similar mod with pre-built building and we can explore and role-playing within
Same here, though I will do so as a Duelist, Monk, Ranger or Rogue. (I can't decide just yet. Can you tell? 😁)
This is so so so very cool to see a bunch of passionate people take a really great game and just go all out with creativity. Triple A devs really need to take a step back and take a long long long long hard look at this project, then go back to work and talk to their publishers, and let's get the industry moving in this direction. Today I actually got some hope for the future of gaming. Mad Mushroom should pull all these guys in for a meeting.
I love when Asmon is hyped and truly impressed by something. You see that boyish excitement we all seem to have lost as we got older.
I agree, this is probably the best reaction video I have ever seen.
This game tends to bring out that young creative in all of us that had grand ideas for things we wanted to make and when we see another persons best work it rekindles our inspiration to push for even bigger and better ideas ourselves. The best part about the game is the community itself.
@@TheXboxSuxwell said
If this ends up as good as it looks, I would gladly pay full game price to support the work that went into this.
Genuine question, it seems to be 1/2 buildings per zone in an horrible looking game, what are you hyped for?
@@adamkantar2493obvious bait is obvious. Are you even trying?
The valheim devs released a statement to modders asking for mods to not be behind paywalls. this was because there were groups of modders selling mod packs. they ended up making the mod packs free. I don't think people would do that again.
@@ferretdash Mental, considering the drought of content after abandoning their first roadmap after sales numbers skyrocketed. Not really one who likes paid mods, but someone has to deliver content somehow.
@@adamkantar2493 Gonna pretend this isn't bait to just say that anyone who has actually played the game understands the beauty of it, it doesn't need high tier graphics to be an amazing game
as someone with well over 1000 hours on Valheim now, been playing it since launch and the game hasn't even slightly lagged since early release.
It's crazy seeing where Gothalion is now compared to his start with borderlands and being a mod on the old gearbox forums.
I skipped around the video without sound. How is Goth involved in this? Providing capital to the devs? Agree though, I have watched many hours of Goth raiding in Destiny and Destiny 2. Cool to see how he has evolved over the years.
No joke, Iron Gate should add this to the base game as an alternate RPG mode alongside the vanilla sandbox mode.
This is beyond video game/modding talent. You guys are artists and some of the most creative people i've ever seen, making something out of nothing is not easy.
This was god tier levels of amazing. The thought, planning, commitment and just pure dedication put into this. All who are working on this is insanely dedicated to what they love and its just so amazing.
I have been waiting for somebody to actually do something like this!!! I've got close to 500 hours in Valheim, and this is making me so hyped to go back. This is beyond impressive
Full props to the effort they put into this. Keep in mind its not that they suddenly hopped into the game and made this over the course of a year, it was an entire year of planning before hand, and another year of experience at least building within the game to reach this point. Its an impressive amount of work and dedication to it.
There isnt more stuff like this because the devs didnt bother putting in tools to make it easier to create large scale projects.
Sure it can be done as we can see here, but its a lot harder than it should/needs to be.
The Devs dont respect the modding community of Valheim at all. No mod tools, regularly putting own the tiniest little updates (to bugs) that constantly break mods (rather than bundling several bug fixes together), and any mod-discussion is relegated to the very bottom of the Valheim discord, like the red-headed stepchild Irongate sees them as. One of my buddies is a modder and he came up with a netcode fix that allows up to 100 people to play on his server. His main job is programming for a fortune 500 company.
He tried to share his code with Irongate and they flatout ignored / refused to give him the time of day. Their "vision" is a game for 10 or less players and they refuse to expand their vision to accommodate what players have been clamoring for from this game.
@@mateobarrett6829 They're focusing on completing the game they envisioned, proper mod support can come after when everything is polished and complete. Implementing proper mods and external input can be implemented after everything is complete and working as intended and they can shift their focus to supporting mod tools and implementing additional content
@@mateobarrett6829 "respecting the modding community" not every game welcomes mods. That has nothing to do with respect. The exact same thing can be said about modders not "respecting" the developer's vision of the game. So silly.
@@mateobarrett6829I mean as is their prerogative. It's their game after all. If all they want to do is create the game they envisioned and not facilitate ways to alter that vision I can respect that. It's not like it's an attack on the community.
@@Holykriger Sure that is true, but dear god are they so GOD DAMN SLOW AT DOING THE UPDATES
Dude this is why modders are so amazing for the gaming community, literal saviors.
Awesome seeing 9 on the channel. Dude's building videos are S tier therapeutic.
Everything about this is amazing, from valheim, these guys making this whole thing, to asmon sharing it to a whole separate community which will in turn prolly bring alot of new people to valheim which is a great game.
Been watching 9bytes valheim stuff for a while now. Him and Versaugh are my favorite valheim creators
The devs just need to hire these modders and have them do dlc maps
17:17 bro that looks BEAUTIFUL, thats ART right there
This is so sick I can't wait to play again now. Zack needs to try all these mods
The houses in the trees look amazing
Really reminded me of Kelethin in EverQuest:)
Valheim also has a fully functional VR mod, it's pretty awesome.
I'm so happy for the team that made this! They should feel proud of their work, it's amazing what they've done 👍
this goes insanely hard
feels cool like moss growing on a caterpillar
They really need to hire passionate people like this for Valheim. The updates are coming too slow.
Valheim with friends was my best gaming experiense in decades.
true true and true. playing this with a group of friends it easily my favorite gaming experience ive ever had.
So true. That is my biggest gripe with Valheim. It's a nice little experience but it gets boring fairly quickly. There just isn't enough content. An outstanding foundation for a game but it's currently like 5% of what it could be. Sooo much wasted potential.
Same, its amazing.
The dev team is already full of passionate people.
@@EB-bl6cc valheim with actual towns would be great
The struggle with Valheim's performance seems to be linked with terraforming. I'm guessing, given the quality of their work, they found a way to resolve this.
I can see that being the reason. I've observed when players make changes to the map it has to load them in over the original. It's kinda annoying. Also render distance needs to be allot further.
the terraforming has been fixed for a long time now. the real problem is all the small pieces count as their own game objects, rather than 1 game object per building.
@@simpson6700 Ok, I played a few months ago and the performance was fine, but I also just got a new PC, so I thought it was that.
Will be interesting to see how it runs.
@@simpson6700this 100%. If you track the “instance count” big builds cause a massive lag spike as it tries to render and load each and every piece
@@donalddouds6033 I know the code for this might be a bit much, but if a structure meets stability requirements it should a "add" itself to form a unique entity. These new entities would need a hitbox code assigned at merge, adding 1 hitbox location extra per add.
It might at least cut the render everything singular problem.
I set up a server and had roughly 20 mods installed. It was insane fun for about 2 weeks until they updated the game and I couldn't figure out how to make it work anymore and haven't played since. It took me like 40 hours of work making all the overhaul stuff work without lagging then the devs updated and poof all gone lol. It's one of those scenarios where you just wish the modders were apart of the dev team tbh. I'm a construction worker and play Valheim irl a lot lol, and the building in game is some of the most fun and rewarding imo.
Glad this got recommended. Was excited when i saw this vid drop on 9byte.
Incredible. Just incredible.
Also I tried the Valheim Legends mod with the multiple classes. I hope they give the mage cooler abilities, one frostbolt ability isn't gonna cut it mate.
Bruh it should stay vslheims difficulty imo.
Valheim is my favourite game and I've squeezed 1800+ hrs out of it with building and just chilling in the world
The best part about this was how giddy and truly excited Asmon was while watching.
This looks absolutely amazing! Is there a site where you can download and test this, or are there news when this will be released? Can't wait! :D
Makes me think of Morrowind. I finally got the construction kit WAAAY long ago and in one of my personal games made my own mushroom tower. I wanted to try making my own town but don't know how to populate with my own characters.
If you still want some help, let me know
@@stevengrogan9972 That guys morrowind overhaul when?
@@vinceb8123 shit bro, im already working on a dlc mod for new vegas, a questing overhaul for fallout 4, and another dlc sized mod for skyrim, probably awhile
They made it a brand new game, wow.
yes you can clear the mist. theres a mod(s). i went with one where you can upgrade your wisp to have more range. can make it upgrade as much as you want and clear as much fog as you like.
this is just beyond being a mod man, I don't have any idea about valhiem and I'm considering playing the mod in January this is crazy
Valheimstream when?
Please play this and give it as much exposure as you can. This is truly extraordinary.
Holy shit this is epic and amazing. I really hope the structures won't lag too much. I wish these guys all the time and passion they need. It's awesome work so far!
Great channel, i like that you don't make clone videos of other sod channels, like many others do.
I've got 1300 hours into Valheim. I love this game
Looking forward to Asmon playing this and uploading the playthrough to youtube. I want to experience but don't have time to play games anymore lol
I used to set up Dungeons on Minecraft MP Servers which only used the script blocks and other functionality available in vanilla MC. I had a Temple for a sun god which you could enter by two ways. Either in the middle of the day when the sun was highest and the hidden door in the shrine was open where you could then beat the temple and get a bunch of loot at the end. Other way was in the middle of the night when the hidden door was closed but you could give up an item in prayer at the shrine to pray for day and the game would detect the needed item, clear it and force day. Then the secret door would open to the temple but the temple would be way harder. When you finished the temple this way you got a tripled enchanted bow. Thought it would be cool to have a bow that conditionally deals more damage when the sun is up.
I made sure players couldn't destroy the temple by forcing adventure mode near one of the structures. That way players even could find the hidden dungeons or hidden locations in the open world. It was fun. Had shoes hidden in a mountain range that were enchanted to have the wearer not take fall damage up to ~100 blocks. And some cursed items too that said they were enchanted but the enchantment was negative so you would take damage from falling two blocks. I had the time of my life with making up stuff like this.
I have watched you for a while, I think this was the 1st joygasim I have seen you do.
I would love to see RP servers. Imagine a few hundred people playing at any one time.
I enjoy Valheim to point I haven't completed it once but have major respect for what it is. This might just be the reason I need to get further than the swamp biome.
you will LOVE the plains, they are scary and hard to survive in, very unforgiving, but they are so pretty and my favorite place to live in. Good Luck, You Got This!
wait until you make it to the mistlands@@sYd6point7
The swamps were the worst for me, I definitely had to create a strategy to finish it, but the tools and tech I used carried me through the rest, have fun, and corpse run
If you play the game in order you should be fine taking on all of the content.
The creative build bp is something used in space engineers and multiple sandbox survival games. In creative mode you can just throw the blocks down, once you have your basic shape, you just add the texture blocks. I expect the large structure took a couple hours for him to do.
I loved the Mistlands as the concept. It feels menacing stepping on it and not knowing what's next to you. Suddenly you hear the airhorn and your mind goes "WHAT!!? WHERE?"
The one i hate the most is the swamp. They really did an amazing job making an environment that makes you feel like shit.
haha spot on
had like 300-400 hrs on valheim last year, also played it only last year, dunno if its that laggy on release but mines working fine, while playing with some of my friends.
55fps on a modern pc is laggy you fool 😂
Its way laggier once you get more than 5 people, especially if you have done a ton of terrain editing. If you edited terrain with pickaxe/hoe near spawn too much you could make people need to load for legit 10 min
I love that the dragon boss arena has Deathwing's wings from the deathwing build. 👌👌👌
ive played valheim over 800 hours and i rarely get any lag. when i do its only when im destroying something at a large scale like a tree farm or a huge build. i did play mostly solo and only had one or two friends logged in at a time though. its a great fkn game
I truly don't think the industry is lacking "passion" or talent. I think the problem with modern game studios is simply corporate greed. Corporate bureaucratic bullshit weighs down innovation and squelches passion. This is why I'm happy Asmon is praising guys like this, and companies like GGG and the folks behind BG3. Good on you Asmon!
I see valheim i click
Go watch the original video
@@MrRedpanda2442 nou
Loved the game! Beat it after release. Havent got back into but this is very interesting!
I tried to do this when the game first came out, having all my friends play on one hosted world, where they were all given their own areas with one rule: You must make a road tot he main hub minumum.
But with constant game updates and such it just didnt owrk out.
OMG, I was expecting... ok, some map, some building
the crafting skill of that dude.... just wow
this is splendid
This feels like the wet dream of every Millennial kid that grew up building lego's.
It is so satisfying because we simultaneously feel the nostalgia of our childlike creativity and yet also blown away by what can be accomplished by the focused determination of adulthood. Its the perfect sweetzone, keeping us between giddy wonder and awe-inspired respect.
Amazing.
A good percentage of the shown features are on ModDB as standalone mods, if you want to change your game still. But map and modpack are a great combination.
id like to see this game to have a system where with skills like blacksmithing so on so forth you as a player can set up your own blacksmith in an established town or in a starting one and where you can be apart of a guild and each guild can found a city and deploy all of their laws, customs, taxes as they will and where losing reputation with a town through committing a provable offense because you will have to beg to get your reputation restored or else you will be in permanent enmity with said town and will likely die on contact and have to raid the town to effectively avoid conflict to ever dream of getting back through the only way to that precious resource you've yet to discover..
this is seriously incredibly and i loved valheim on release and played it for hours with my friend group.
but the only thing i can think when i see these kind of things achieved by modders and fans, what the fuck is the devs doing? i get that they want to take their time but their development speed is seriously mind numbingly slow.
@@ThrashMoshI mean… it’s like a really small team. They had like 5 people for a big part of the games life
chill dude, its like 5 people. blizzard and mmorpg makres have like 20+
@@ThomasRe-lh9pnMore like hundreds for Blizzard and the bigger MMO's
I'd rather them take the time they need and come back to it when it's ready. They aren't pushing microtransactions so why the rush?
Devs are doing code and stuff which modders use
6:00 Dude. Lag is not a problem if you spend a few minutes speccing a proper server. We might get a lag spike every couple of hours when garbage collection is especially heavy, but otherwise I have our server humming. It'll likely need some tweaking for this mod, but it won't be an issue either.
this is actually brilliant. completely awestruck by these dudes commitment.
The true power of fandom! Outpacing AAA development! Evidence that passion for your work can truly elevate it.
They did more job and content than Valheim devs since release.
seriously
They’re twice as large as a team and using the assets the developers created…
Lol we shit on large studios for rushing things… and now we’re shitting in a small team of Indy developers that have delivered hundreds of hours of gameplay before the game was even finished 😂
@@dreamshakejunyaYa but after the assets are created should be especially easy even for devs to use those assets that are already made to add more basically same could be said for minecraft one modder than makes more content in a month than the whole team in a year.
back in the day, as the game came out, my friend and i build a town, with everything, but the framerate got so worse. like rly 13 fps at max xD
bitd 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is sooo good, i hope they get the opportunity to make their own game..
6:08 its the same thing world of warcraft does. It places you on the server separately loaded into your own world space without loading other people's from far away, they also have the ability to combine server players like world of warcraft with cross realm mechanics.
Such a dang good game!
Hey Asmon, keep in mind that when you said moders are better than the dev team for diablo, you gotta keep in mind that these diablo devs be making the game from scratch. Meaning, somewhat fresh animations, ui/hud, mechanics, level design, story and much more. These moders are expanding on a game that’s been already created, they have their base. All of the work has been done already for them, so all they have to do is just expand the game with already made everything. Re-using assets already made by the devs does not mean they are better than the actual devs themselves. Anyway, still agree on how these moders are talented! 👍
That literally doesn’t matter, it’s the sheer fact that in games like Diablo you can tell there isn’t much passion effort put into the game. Now that can be due to a multitude of reasons, some outside most of the devs control but it doesn’t excuse the fact that some title that either should have been great from the start or started off great but lost its dev teams passion ends up falling on non paid molders to come in and fix/polish a product .
The lag he's referring to is related to the level of detail and base complexity - as you grow your base/town, so do the elements your CPU and GPU have to render, this causes the FPS drop as the workload is increased. But depending on your monitor, if you have gsync/freesync enabled, this could smoothen out the image when you're moving, even with lower FPS than usual.
Over 2000hrs played (vanilla no mods), & crazy excited to play this map
If only the valheim devs had this much passion for it
Lol 5 people made a smash success in their spare time and you’re criticizing them for a lack of passion? 😂
@@dreamshakejunya I’m happy that they became successful, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not allowed to be upset about all their broken promises.
@@dreamshakejunya you keep repeating this yet you should know that there is 11 in the dev team that works fulltime
@@90bubbel60 now. And that still the same size as the “measly” dev team people are leveraging against them.
So congrats… you pulled a well actually on a point that does absolutely nothing. What does them having 11 now have ANYTHING to do with my point that they *made it with 5*
You just admitted that they’ve doubled their team since they made the game. So it looks like they’re investing time and resources into the game. Which is even stronger to my point
@@chanter3978 what broken promises? You understand a roadmap is a suggestion right?
If you expected a small indy team to perfectly adhere to their roadmap while they’re in wary access when mega studios can’t half a year after the launch of the game then I think maybe you should reevaluate your expectations.
And I still don’t see how anything they’ve done reflects a “lack of passion”
Outside if delivering the content (albeit outside of their projected roadmap time). You don’t know what is or isn’t cut and/or unused at this time.
They told us they’re giving us Ashlands, developing the ocean, and giving us the deep north. And said they’re even working to give us parts of the Ocean when they deliver the North.
Y’all acting like they Patrick Rothfuss or Ubisoft or something
legit just hire some of these top modders and put them in the dev team
i mean what is the dev team even doing, their development speed has been crazy slow
Lol yeah! Let’s criticize indy developers with teams of less than 10 for being too slow.
Go play AAA 😂
There are torches you can build that remove the mist in Mistlands we had a mistlands base, unless that was a mod we added but I don't think so.
Man I really was looking forward to trying this game again. I hope this mod is compatible with other mods, because I would love for these area’s to be filled with npc’s, friendly and foe.
They should add Kratos in the game
They don't own the IP
@asmongold TV they mentioned most of the lag comes from building stability so when you mod it to infinite health it removes a large number of building problems (less blocks) and isn't constantly checking building health.
just a bit of context on why games take longer and are more expensive than this mode.
1) this mod is just built on top of existing code, they did not have to develop new game systems to make this work. They did not have to go through extensive testing, and all of that.
2) the team was small, so there would have been minimal back and fourth getting things approved etc.(ie it takes more time to steer a larger ship than a small boat.)
3) If this team were to take on a from scratch game, even if it were more or less an exact copy of this, for example, in Unreal Engine, it would take them several years to get to this point.
Games like Diablo have hundreds of team members because the game systems are more complex, and a purpose built to what they were designed to do. Diablo is a linear, non-sandbox game, where Valheim is a sandbox, and a bit more flexible by design. You could make the argument that maybe all games need to have a core sandbox design, but that is generally a waste of time if you never intend to use it.
This feels unreal! Can't wait to try it out with my friends when it comes out
The city in the mountains is very similar to Gondolin from LOTR, the books specifically
Craaaaaap! It reminds me the golden era of Neverwinter Nights modding and some worlds I've explored then. Modders are amazing. The things they do to games are sometimes massive. And to think that most of them are doing it for free?
Holy hell...actually makes me wanna pick up Valheim again just for this modified server. XD
Its genuinely impressive the extent of work that went into it.
If the d4 expansion was free, I'd still debate if it was worth it.
i want to play the solo version on this one im curious on how they would do the actual story base on this mod applied to the game.
We were born to become architects of this world,games remind us about it,especially people like this 9byte creator
I think a huge shout out to the valheim devs is in order. Just hoping there is something they can do to optimize the code for less lag on big builds. Maybe a “commit” option so the world has all the stuff built into it committed to it, and isn’t processing both at the same time.
. Even if this thing never gets great, it really is an example of what could be done. Imagine if a studio leased the engine to do a fully funded project. Akin to all the amazing games that came from ID software’s doom and quake engines.
Anyone know where i can check this out at?
They cooked so good that even Gordan Ramsey wants some of their lamb sauce.
I played on Goths initial test server for this modpack. The mods were very impressive, however as you stated. The network, especially when near another player, is practically unplayable. This is amplified by the custom large builds. as you know the more instances in the area, the worse the game runs. Unfortunately the network config is baked into Valheim, so unless the devs of the game improve or change it for dedicated servers, not much will fix it. I am still hopeful and excited to try out the final build stuff thou.
They had more different buildings in the first city than new world had on launch
i played on the early test worlds of this concept a while ago mostly finding mod exploits and how to fix them, those were some good times.
Unreal what a group of passionate gamers can accomplish when they love a game this much!
U guys created a world most of us havent even dreamed yet. Yrs ayead. This game is awesome.
What I really like about this channel's videos is that it provides a link to the original video so that I can watch that one instead of this.
I am so utterly speechless, and i kept getting more and more overwhelmed with awe as i watched every second of this video. This is absolute fucking ART man, i have no better way of saying it. The future of gaming is 100% in the hands of modders and indie developers. This video inspired me to go back into digital art and try to learn a game engine. Congrats to everyone involved in this actual masterpiece and labour of love.
Iron Gate absolutely NEEDS to hire these guys
