This is a fantastic video! Thank you for talking about the history of the project and were the idea came from. Have you discovered this amazing Easter egg in Fractal Block World? Open the console and type "inf2". This still turn on gravity and allow you to create and destroy blocks. Type it again to turn it off. Also if you have red-blue 3D glasses, you can wear those and play the game in that mode. I really appreciate your video.
Can you really put "the" and "average" in the same sentence if one implies importance and uniqueness while the other stands for something that doesn't stand out and fits in the norm? Kidney stones
It's honestly crazy at first I wondered how a game that looked like that could have taken 13 years to make but after watching this video I see now this game is so big and expensive with it's world and all of it being made by ine singular man in his spare time honestly it is so cool that this game exists and is definitely one of the most unique games out there
Reminds me of Cruelty Squad, both are games that are incomprehensible when you first see them, but yet they still have an insane amount of depth hidden underneath and you eventually get used to it's weird, janky art style.
I too thought of Cruelty Squad! -maybe we should breed and ask our children what they think of the game- It's so strange how little games like this there are...
WTF. I took Applied Linear Algebra taught by the creator of this game. For anyone wondering, he was a great teacher. I was tipped off by the fact that the cities you mentioned are all local to the area of the university I studied at.
This will only end badly. But atleast the newly founded Transgender Fractal Block World community will be happy, eternally shrinking far enough to find their true identity, perhaps.
There’s a niche group of people on the internet who are INSANELY good programmers whod do something like this. (To be fair, the person who made this game really is still just a guy with a maths degree who likes making games and nothing more then that)
There's this genre that's on the rise, it's called a metroidbrainia (like a metroidvania but you use knowledge instead of upgrades) and this sounds just like that
can we stop people from saying "metroidbrainia" ever again until people actually understand what it means. no, patrick, this is not a metroidbrainia. 90% of games ppl say *are* dont even fit that description (obra dinn, animal well, etc aren't really that either.) its just an surreal open world exploration game thats it
Looks like a game I would find at 12:33 am, play for 3 hours while slowly developing a headache, and then go to sleep so utterly empty that I don’t even have enough emotion left to regret my decision.

Haven't watched the whole video yet, but it's great to see someone else cover this game! I'd love to see it get some broader attention. It's a unique little flawed gem of a game and one that still sticks in my mind almost a year after initially discovering it, playing it, and making a feature length video on it. Your channel is markedly more popular than mine (probably because I only want to make videos on obscure games) so I suspect this video will give it a decently massive boost in popularity. The developer saw my video (which is quite outdated at this point) and implemented a large number of conveniences and fixes based on what I addressed. I have only briefly played the more recent updates, but the game is now in a far better state. So many welcome conveniences, optimizations, and tweaks have made it in! It's a much more focused and well-balanced experience now. Good luck with any future obscure games you cover. You'll probably need it.
How do you end up finding the games you cover, its been a while since ive really found a "hidden gem" so to speak, back when game bins were a thing id find myself a diamond in the rough every now and again but nowadays it feels like a proper shot in the dark when it comes to scrolling through steam, that is also without even mentioning the cost for some of these games too.
@@mahzo7885 Most games I cover for my channel are found through either abandonware archives or by searching a tag on Steam and scrolling for a while. FBW here in particular came to me pretty quickly while I was browsing discounted games under the surreal tag. Unfortunately, a lot of games you'll find those ways are unlikely to be especially good. I typically have to "vet" games to see if there's any community consensus on their quality, but a lot of them are poorly documented. FBW here had borderline no documentation except posts from the developer, so it was a shot in the dark that worked out for me. If you want to personally uncover hidden gems, I suppose you just have to take the risk now and again.
If you said this game was the result of the sun's cosmic rays shooting down to a computer and flipping random bits that just happened to result in this game being created, I would believe you.
This reminds me of the difference between something like scorn and the German game based off an opera called "ring". One game is intentionally being obtuse and confusing to try to capture the players interest, but still holds some very recognizable design details and artistic inspirations, while the other was a passion project meant to be seriously enjoyed but was constructed seemingly at random by someone genuinely unwell. The difference between this game and cruelty squad is that cruelty squad was deliberately made to be abrasive, yet still has clear intent in much of its design and detail, while fractal block world was seemingly a genuine passion project that looks like an lsd trip simulator.
now this is art to be honest, I love it's concept a lot. I feel like with some polish it could be a really popular game; I might draw some inspiration from it to add towards my games, such a weird trip tbh
The internet has recently somehow seen a mass surfacing of these weird games with unprecedented depth. Cruelty squad, psychopomp, what’s next? I wonder why this is happening just now, actually
I think it is just a growing demographic, there have been weird surreal games for pratically any plataform if you go looking, there's just more people interested in them I guess
I can't express how much the game is a Gem for the gaming industry. Its low popularity is a completely unfair process of the popularity algorithm. The game needs and will get its popularity if you put effort into it, but why? What's the point, if the game is so good, then why doesn't everything go as planned and the game itself can't advertise itself? Does it make sense? Of course it does, because the developer's enormous efforts should not be forgotten so easily. Thanks to the author for distributing, and also giving an introduction to the game and thus giving it a chance to become recognizable among gamers. Every gaming Gemerald should be rewarded!
We need a Doom mod of these crazy (mostly) upgradable weapons from this crazy game about a crazy man finding his crazy friend in a crazy cubiterniverse. Not sure if we could have the shrink mechanic work, but the weapons yesyesyes.
OrangE, I really want to let you know that your videos fill a special place for me. After I had a while to let this video sit in my head I've realized that that I got a major life tip takeaway from it (that being "anyone can do anything for fun, and there aren't any real requirements", from how Daniel made the game despite being just a mathematician). And I get takeaways like these from all your videos too, for example the Needy Streamer Overload one gave me a lot of realizations about content creation and even how to accept yourself as a person. I DON'T get takeaways like these from even the videos of highest production value on UA-cam. Just trying to tell you to keep doing as long what you're doing (as long as you enjoy it) and the stuff you make is really awesome.
Can you in theory make an entire unique fractal world with a single seed? I am talking about story line, bosses and hidden secrets all around. Or as another option we can make players add the bits to a never-ending fractal world and make dozens and dozens of these unique world accessible by a single block. This idea is so unique and mesmerizing that I am going to learn programming only to make my idea come true. This is not the last of me you'll see! Oh god I am starting to see fractals in the comments already
Just a heads up that fractals and similar mechanics are very difficult to implement, especially when learning how to program; don't get discouraged if you don't make a lot of progress on that idea for a while and be sure to focus on your fundamentals first!
That was such a good video man, i love the idea of this game and you are an perfect person to showcase it. Would love to see more videos like this one in a future
I just realised something To get to the final boss you have to shrink innumerable times Which means that this game could've been over in 5 seconds if the protagonist accidentally stepped on the final boss
The story is likely a fractal following the pattern of presenting the player with a new area that in turn has another unique area and so on. I can't see how it can be over 80 hours otherwise.
Honestly, this game looks insanely cool.I think if they got an artist on board to improve the visuals.And made everything a little more understandable for the average player (and less of a labyrinth, maybe a map that you can zoom in really far?).This could be an incredibly interesting experience.
Imagine a Lovecraftian Giant hovering over your city, just to become microscopically small, get through the gaps in your walls, then grow back to beat the crap out of you.
"I don't want to squeeze every bit of attention span out of you." I didn't even realize I just watched 51 minutes of content of a hidden gem whilst ignoring my 7 household chores by accident. Amazing video, OrangE, never seen your content before till now but I love it already!
As an addendum for 32:46 (yapping ahead) While it is the most massive confirmed black hole, there are black holes more massive that while not confirmed, have been discovered and have had their mass calculated (although roughly), one of these is Phoenix A* which if the calculation is correct, would be more massive than the current typical theoretical limit (limit for slow or non-rotating black holes), and to make this black hole even scarier, rather than dying off due to hawking radiation, it's actually constantly becoming more massive, eating up around 60 suns worth of mass every year, and the theorized reason for how such a black hole exists is that it's most likely one of the very first black holes that formed and was able to very quickly grow in size and mass thanks to the extremely active first years after the big bang
the title does this game a bit of a disservice you should include the games name in the title something like... Fractal Block World: Minecraft's insane cousin
Titles are for people to click on, leaving it ambiguous will make more people click on it. No-one will click on it for its name because i doubt most people know what it means. Also it has 15 reviews on steam so SEO wise its also bad.
i mean he literally mentions the game's name 2 minutes in. not only that, but leaving the games name out of the video title draws up curiosity and makes people click on the video, which may actually be more effective than putting the game's name in the title
This channel hasn't been recommended for me in a while (even though I am subscribed) and I was only around for the dont starve videos. But this was a pleasant surprise, the game was insane and the pacing of the video wasn't a drag, all 58 minutes went by so smoothly I barely noticed the video had nearly 1 hour.
5:54 the fact i have played littlebigplanet so much to know from the first second that this is a A Fifth Of Beethoven playing in the background is an actual accomplishment anyways this has reminded me that i need to put lbp2 songs in my music playlist
At first, I was confused about why at least two of the locations in this game were named after places in Northern Vermont, but it turns out the university Daniel Hathaway works at is UVM, so that explains that.
eets music. good choice the game is interesting but i cannot think of anything to say about it i do appreciate that this game is "unique". not afraid to be unusual and weird. very cool
Just finished the video, I legit feel like I've woken up from a dream. If minecraft has infinite content, this is content at a cosmic, unknowable, Yog-Sothothian number. I will absolutely buy it, but I may never be the same again.

"How can you be 80 hours in a game and still not have seen everything?" Oxygen not included, noita, and kill the spire: allow us to introduce ourselves.
the review about the game being like a mind on crack was not too big of an exaggeration. I would never plaz this even given free to me, but listening to this was great
@@infectiousmoth it may not be the inventor of it, i can only think of lsd simulator (and maybe yume nikki) but Cruelt Squad definitely put more eyes on it and its definitely a game that seems superficial at surface level but has far more depth in it than any normal person would expect.
I find hour long videos incredibly relaxing. They're perfect for unwinding after a long day. I'll put one on in the background while doing something mindless like folding laundry.

SAME OH MY GOD I LITERALLY YELLED "LITTLE BIG PLANET!" OUT LOUD AS LIKE A KNEE JERK REACTION TO HEARING THIS FUCKING SONG PLAY
The game reminds me of one of those 4d games, only difference is the fourth dimension is changing your own size.
thus making it much more comprehensible
Hope an update adds the 4th dimension.
4 dimensional fractals.
3:06 clearly, you haven't played the binding of isaac yet
Or the sims 3
At first, I was confused about why at least two of the locations in this game were named after places in Northern Vermont, but it turns out the university Daniel Hathaway works at is UVM, so that explains that.
49:52 "So, should you buy Fractal?"
Me who already bought it while watching the video
i passed out mid video and had a nightmare of this game nice to know i wont sleep for a few days
This is one of the few topics that can acceptably be 10 hours.
This game is insane.

The YTP level sentence mixing was a great gag
love this content
26:33 You didn't have to splice and edit your own voice and yet you did and it's so god damn funny
This game feels like something one would dream about
eets music. good choice
the game is interesting but i cannot think of anything to say about it
i do appreciate that this game is "unique". not afraid to be unusual and weird. very cool
you see that fractal? you can climb that fractal!
Just finished the video, I legit feel like I've woken up from a dream. If minecraft has infinite content, this is content at a cosmic, unknowable, Yog-Sothothian number. I will absolutely buy it, but I may never be the same again.
I'd honestly love an OrangE gaming/let's play channel! your whole humor and personality genuinely seem really charming!
The editing is also really good, i especially love this part around 17:09
this game gave me nightmares the sound effects were too realistic
Man super cool. Thx for introducing this game
Fractal block world is the grandfather to fps btd6
This game's presentation reminds me of Cruelty Squad
well my mind was blown several times during this video...
In a world of brainrot and vanilla, your humor and editing is very refreshing. Maybe that's the true hidden gem...
"How can you be 80 hours in a game and still not have seen everything?"
Oxygen not included, noita, and kill the spire: allow us to introduce ourselves.
Add satisfactory and factorio
Horse bojack too
Modded Minecraft is what kills everyone's time.

I had to stop watching 6 minutes in and play for an hour myself. Surreal experience like nothing else I've played. Thanks orange man
46:57
> “inside a yellow box”
> shows a clearly green box
a day after watching the minecraft video… oh, how the world works.
thank you for giving me this enlightning lore orange man
Some of the music used is from Little Big Planet, and it brings me back to when I used to play it way back :(
the review about the game being like a mind on crack was not too big of an exaggeration. I would never plaz this even given free to me, but listening to this was great
Using a screenshot from a DAW as your analogy for confusing controls is *chef kiss* on point.
This is the Cruely Squad of Cube games
cruelty squad didn't invent the surreal aesthetic but i see what you're going for
@@infectiousmoth it may not be the inventor of it, i can only think of lsd simulator (and maybe yume nikki) but Cruelt Squad definitely put more eyes on it and its definitely a game that seems superficial at surface level but has far more depth in it than any normal person would expect.
Damn, he made my existential nightmare as a child into a real game
the noises are killing me in this game, i cant
the sound fx for this game. reminds me of me and my buddy in 2018 when we'd smoke insane amounts of weed and we communicated in grunts and noises LOL
Holy shit, I watched the Early History of Minecraft video like 5 hours ago and now I get to watch more, let's gooo
Hi OrangE I think this is my favorite of your videos so far. I keep falling asleep through your longer videos though lol. Love your content ❤❤❤
This game is more than a fever dream, probably more than tripping too, but I love it
I find hour long videos incredibly relaxing. They're perfect for unwinding after a long day.
I'll put one on in the background while doing something mindless like folding laundry.
23:40 my co worker be losing his mind bro💀
9 hour work day
in an alternate universe block fractal world became the most best selling game in the world and minecraft became a random game on steam with like 3 players
I heard of this game shortly before it was released (around 2021). Never would have thought this is related in any way to Infinifrag 2.
