Welcome to the I'm Dispersed Club how I'm Dispersed are ya?
Yes.
(No context, just yes.)

I'm Dispersed fine thank you.
Dispersed as ever manly!

Counterpoint: The Squid isn't actually a bad creature. Your proximity scanner just happens to use the same tone as the Squid's alarm clock.
The game says it's deaf. I guess it's more annoyed about the flashing lights in its eyes lol
@@theRealSlimGordon If you spent your whole life in a dark fractal hellscape you'd probably be pretty pissed too if somebody started flashing a bright light in your face.
@@cartooncritique6625Thats how I test wether someone is from a dark fractal hellscape, by flashing lights in their face and if they get pissed off thats How I know
@@clayday5299 What do you do when they get pissed?

i like how the Creatures don't actually try to kill you right away but instead just pick you up & (somewhat) gently place you somewhere outside of their territory rather than violently attacking you like 99% of all other territorial Lifeforms & only destroying the Boat somewhat accidentally due to their Grip-strength inflicted on the Boat multiple times
Always appreciate it when territorial behavior is more complex than immediete violence

Aye, me hearties!! I can see through me one good eye that you are all great travellers of these fractal waters! May there be plunder and booty for yee, arghhh
Hero: I need to avoid detection.
Ship: BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
Thanks for the video!
not so much the beep thats the issue as the flashing of the lights due to it supposedly being deaf but not blind
it explicitly says the creature is deaf...
Did you not see the dev saying it’s deaf? Lol
Remarkable demo. While everyone is rightly commenting on the look, I have to praise the sound design. The noise of undulating and the groans of music, alongside the accompanying monster cries, is spine tingling.
This was seriously my first thought!!! The sounds the creature makes it IMPRESSIVE! It really makes you feel like you're there in the moment and it's terrifying!
Agreed, its on Subnautica levels of sound design
Ah the feeling of warp travel without a gellar field, how delightfully horrifying.
Nah it’s the feeling with an active field. Shit’s not nearly as real as if when it was off
Out of all the WH40k games, they haven't done "survival horror warp in a malfunctioning gellar field" yet.
Get on it!
I felt the same navigating inside your mother! HEY OHHHHHHHH
Pew pew
- got em coach
@@WangNurMouthwtf
The environment in this game is so weirdly beautiful
Ye mate like nostalgic relaxing aint it
Looks like
Shit tho m8
The charm of fractals
Scientists: we have discovered a domain that is beyond human comprehension and full of unimaginable terrors
Politicians: yes but can we extract oil from it?
jokes aside I like how the monster isn't some random ooga booga but a kraken, in tone with the sailing theme,
Well, this is a cool idea! Probably not for a standalone game but as a section of a larger one I can see it being really, really tense
Wargame 40k game and every time you go through a warp this happens but shorter
oh hey someone else thought the same thing!
"I'm gonna see if I can outrun the squid." A few moments later: "I'm gonna ram the squid."
The terrain that melts away as you approach it is a very weird vibe and really gives this game an unearthly feel. Very visually interesting.
Somewhere beyond the sea. She's there waiting for me
*it’s
@@sugarjumper45 It's lyrics to a song
@@jesteringdragons I was trying to joking change the lyric to *it instead of She
A cool idea, but I feel like the light as a mechanic was underutilized. I thought at first you needed to turn the light on in order to move through the fractal goop but that turned out not to be the case. With how bright the surroundings are it's really only needed when refueling.
Yeah, this needs to be a field/beacon mechanics. One to attract the monster lets you travel.
They should make a VR version as well. Imagine the atmosphere
Tbh anything in the sea is scary and weird so i know im in for an ride
It's like Iron lung but minus the picture taking and you're in a cave and not the sea.
"No take! Only throw!"
😂😂😂😂
This is what every sailor sees every morning when they are drunk and forced to take the wheel.
Sounds like someone's C/O is very irresponsible
This is 100% the "Warp" from Warhammer 40k, a parallel dimension of psychic energy and home to horrors beyond our comprehension. This definitely gives the impression of a sea of souls, a tulmutous, infinite expanse governed by the churning emotions and experiences of those who have died and been sent to mix in an endless cauldron. Those who sail it brave true terrors, their body and minds merely potential prey for the monsters outside.
We need that lighthouse,emprah!
Couldn't have described it better myself. It definitely gives off that feeling of some inter-dimensional space where dimensions collide and intersect.
Warp would look more like an ever-changing, twisting, entangled mess of warp currents, this space looks too calm and stable
I'm so glad people are talking about 40k 🥺😊
@@fareastslavlol "erm... I don't thiiiiink the warp would look like this"
I cannot imagine how painstaking it must have been to code/design this game. Really well-made.
I think the beauty of it is that it might actually have been, at least compared to how it looks, relative to other 3D indie games, incredibly easy to code. The environment, as a fractal, is just a visualization of math. There’s no actual collision with the environment other than (assuming here) what the squid can “see,” and the fractal peeling away from the ship/squid is something that I believe can be done with just a shader, along with the ship’s lighting. On a code level, the game is basically just the ship and station controls + the squid ai. But I think that just lends even more to the concept as a whole; something so technically simple and fundamental, but boggling to actually view and comprehend
@@wdasx4614 Oh yeah, good point!
I remember that some years ago I saw a fractal space tec demo were you controlled a ship in first person and I thought "this cool be a cool horror game". I guess some else also thought that
"Dont you hate it when a big squid just toss your ship around?" - 🚢
No I do not want imaginable horrors beyond my comprehension.
You can't make me, nope!
Damn budget cuts. Throwing us into its enclosure to resupply its feeding stations but they won't even bother to shut it in another pen while we do it.
I don't know if the creature reacts to your radar pings, but it would definitely be an interesting mechanic. Possibly with different difficulties.
Level 1 - Simple scanner: The creature knows you have used your radar, but doesn't know where.
Level 2 - Directional radar: The creature knows which direction the radar ping came from and will go there. If the creature is in front of you or behind you, changing direction can help you evade it.
Level 3 - Doppler radar: The creature knows which direction the ping came from and also how fast towards/away from it you're going. Changing speed and movement direction can help you evade it. Using multiple pings in quick succession can help the creature find where exactly you are.
Something i think many horror games get wrong about the creatures is showing them off too much or too closely. shadowy tentacles in the distance will always be scarier than whatever's right in front of you.
I love the red melting style creepy and interesting
sadly the visuals give me too much of a headache if I watch too long but I absolutely love the sound design. The "music" becoming frantic when you're thrown off course, the dull creak of the ship as it navigates around. A really cool concept of a game.
This was an interesting one. The weird space looking kinda fleshy or gooey but receding every time you got close. I like how it would change as if it was a sea on its own. The ship moving in any direction was pretty cool, like you were in space but also a boat, The weird textures and like little air holes with its flow like movement really makes it interesting to stare at as well as it being affected physically by radar. Its interesting that there were these stations or outpost that youre supposedly out to look for in the first place. It gives me iron lung vibes. The squid looked cool. Love how brass heavy the music was when it went on the offensive,
this game would make for a killer section in a much larger horror game.
Maybe as like your transit method between going between outposts maybe? Like you need to figure out why the research team hasn’t been responding and also refill the generators that keep the space navigable to humans maybe.
This is so interesting, i love fractals!! :]
Fractals rules ! :)
Anyone else get Subnautica PTSD when he started the red sonar ping? Because man. I feel that's a game that will live forever in my nightmares.
Is this what space travel looks like in Warhammer 40K
Congrats Manly, you’ve summoned the Warhammer fans
It's like they took the scary part of Subnautica and dialed down the terror a bit but ramped up the horror.
Pretty cool for a demo. The visuals are great, giant squid works for the enemy, nice atmosphere. I can see this being a good time.
This would be a good WH Fantasy type of game, like you need to go and do a bunch of things through the galaxy but the main way of moving is through this place, a pseudo disformity
this is relaxing and creepy at the same time.
and Lovecraft inspired for sure.
This game looks amazing and setting is unique but I wish it had more actual horror and mistery in it.
Ah yes, I too love watching skary videos by ManlyBadassHero at 12:26pm Central Standard Time on a Sunday Afternoon half sick and delirious! 🔥🔥

Venturing the fractals with captain manly argharghargh
This was kinda neat looking. Those tubes seemed like a pain but I liked the design on the monster.
it kind of reminded me of Dark Bramble from Outer Wilds game. but a lot more sinister and gruesome. the effects there were so melty and twisty and eesh. i wouldn't want to be there.
_Riding a ship through Chaos_
Very cool. I even liked the look of the ship. But the sounds 0- - they were incredibly frightening! Also looking up and seeing those giant tentacles of the beast. Looking forward to more.
Feels like a first person experience from the Sunless Skies/Seas series
A lot of potential. I think the noise it makes needs to be more bassy and mysterious. Could do with it coming across like you're underwater as it just kinda feels like you're flying instead of sailing
This has to be the most creative game based around the simplest of game mechanics ever but its all amazing and I love it!😊
Turn off your light to avoid detection!
*Ship activates blinking light and beeping alarm*
Might as well have a loadspeaker blaring 'STEALTH MODE ENGAGED' lol
"Waaait, squid's coming back." -Manly 😂
Really like the way they have done this hopefully it can inspire more like it loving the effects looks so cool
"Fractal space kraken ahead captain!"
How can this game be so cool and so gross at the same time lmao
It would really benefit from being VR
This is a p awesome showcase on the terrain tech showcase. Being able to go through the terrain while the trrain itself transform every certain time, and how it transforms as we carve through it real-time.
love how manly went full ahab on the squid there
amazing sound design!! The weird visuals wouldn’t hit so hard without it
The pulsing red light that surges throughout the environment reminds me of a 1999 electronica tune by an experimental band called "We", (tune called "Berimbau"), and from 0:45 to 3:45 on it is an eerie, distorted, repeating sound conjuring thoughts similar to the pulsing red light, or even indecipherable alien communication.
Nothing like watching a creepy horror game on Easter Sunday
As much as I love watching your stuff manly I don’t think I’d be able to watch this one
I feel uneasy I’ll try but it’s gonna be hard
I love this game I'm buying it for sure, just feels like one I could play and replay over and over again.
This horror game is so weird and interesting also my trypophobia and claustrophobia wants to have a problem with this game lol
trypophobic club! high five! Luckily, it was somehow disturbing for me but not enough that I had to stop watching.
This scares me and tickles my brain at the same time
Beautiful game and sound♥️
I would love to see more come out of this. It’s a really great idea. Thanks for sharing :)
Nearly 2 million let's go Manly!
This is why you need weapons. Turn that squid into calamari enough times and they will leave you alone so you can do your job .
@Manlybadasshero i love your video and you have the voice for scary games you get me everytime keep up the good work
Definitely one of the cooler concepts ive seen in a while.
This is what a ship sees when travelling through the Warp
Unlike the sea you can see the sky but here... Madness will consume you
That is such a trippy looking game!
Anyone get a kinda matrix vibe from this? Like when they are flying through the tunnels in the real world?
This was a really cool idea. I'd like to see a more fleshed out game with the same concept.
Reminds me of Subnautica when using the cyclops in the depths
Let's go new drop from the god manly
bring me memories of the music apps desktop savers back in the day.
it's like someone played subnautica and only really liked the part where they try to not wreck the cyclops while hiding from the big things
This game would be amazing in vr
It didnt pass 2 minutes and Manly already encountered final boss. 😅
Manly and markiplier are the only gamers I can watch...soothing comfy deep voice and no dumb bullshit speech
That's funny because I stopped watching Markiplier years ago because I found he started really hamming it up for the camera and being kinda obnoxious. Has he mellowed out in the last few years?
@@Man-Corgi I was going to say the same, overall Markiplier is quite okay, prefer to watch him over jackeye, but I do something feel he goes on about things and it pulls me off, I still watch cause some games he plays are quite nice too,
@@Man-Corgimarks always hammer it up for the camera, what are you talking about? He always has be loud and shown a lot of bravado. Atleast since I have been watching him, all the way back to 2012.

@@ReleasedHollow idk, could just be my tastes changing as I got older, but at some point it just became a bit much for me
Stop running bro. It just want hugs 😢
UA-cam does NOT like rendering this game one BIT.
Ah who doesnt love sailing the tides of the Warp…
This i what it probably feels like to navigate a 4D space
immediate thought on how to make this scarier (haven't finished the video, just thought this when I saw the environment)
Would be scary if the fractal landscape instead of opening and unfolding instead started to fold and thereaten to crush you.
Because one thing is the strange moaning octopus thing trying to destroy your ship and the world itself just casually swallowing you with one of it's constant oscillations would really sell the lovecraftian horror behind the idea
What about, the light attracts the monsters but being in the dark for too long causes the world to try and swallow you
It definitely feels like the environment loses some of the wonder after a while, since it’s basically just aesthetic because it moves around you. Having it actually damage the ship would make it much more interactive and give you a little constant danger to deal with
@@regretfulpixel7737 alan wake 2 but instead of a black lady replace her with a fishing boat
Pretty damn impressive! I can safely say I've never seen anything like it.
Me when I enter the Warp™️ without the Gellar field activated: (I'm about to have a bad time)
Thank you mr manly
Sea horror games always gets to me because of the unknown of our own oceans which conjures up a lot of crazy imaginations of what could be lurking deep below lol
Tbh this doesn't really look like fractal space and more like a cave that happens to have undulating and pulsing walls that just dissappear when you get close. I understand the difficulty associated with actually coding the in-game space to function as a fractal though (not to mention the myriad of possible performance and rendering issues associated), so I still appreciate the choice to just emulate the fractal look as closely as possible. The sound design is superb as well.
Wow i like this dev for their sound design alone
this game is so beautiful wtf
Amazing video manly.
me when i'm chilling in a fractal sea (but i'm not alone)
It’s like a Carnival Cruise in the 6th dimension
Is this one of them 4D video games? Looks awesome in a trippy way.
This must be wait it's traveling though the warp in 40k
By now we can coin "iron lung" likes.
For some reason this game reminds me of Voidtrain and Barotrauma.
Just the kind of weird, horror shit that I like.
woah this is awesome dog
This place makes me think of the Webway.
