I dont plug my patreon in the videos because I want to keep the content pure and timeless. However currently I am accepting for support in the early months as i recently quit my day job to push this series as far as it can go. If you visit the patreon page, there is a video that explains my whole story. / boundarybreak

Remember kids, don't send
"hat pics" to strangers.
_U wanna see my hat collection?_

No
Somehow I wonder if all those "Sod Off" cheese wheels were inspired by the many, *many* hidden cheese wedges in Perfect Dark.
i didnt think of that. they are even missing a small wedge
Sod off was a message sent to the players for trying to break a certain level in the earlier build of the game.
I think it is inspired by batim's "wandering is a terrible sin"
you can see a message in mafia town saying sod off and and the same cheese wheel model again in mafia town
It's just a secret message telling the beta players to stop breaking the game
Who didn't have a knife in their toy box when they were a kid?.
Who does?
I didn't even have a toybox itself. LIFE IS GOOD!
Pretty sure that was meant to be the rubber knife from the train.
It's either the rubber knife from the train level or the one from Conductor/DJ Grooves boss fight.
Aaron Greenfield I had one
For those wondering about the toilets, it's a reference to " _Who_ _Shot_ _Mister_ _Burns_ ?". When Burns falls, his hands land on a compass for West and South. People assumed W.S. meant a clue for Wayland Smithers, but the plot twist/real answer was that the compass was upside down and Maggie Simpson shot him.
What!? A murrrrrderrrrrr on my train!?
Wilfred Cthulu I know it's just amazing isn't it?!
Plinkett voice?
It's more likely than you think!
PECK NECK
free train check
There's a lot of stuff that wasn't shown here. It barely even scratches the surface.
I encourage anyone who has the game on Steam to use the developer console commands to look around because it's pretty crazy how much hidden stuff is in this game.
There's a really cool and kinda creepy easter egg in the cut floor in Vanessa's Manor that you guys should look for. ;)
It's watching you.

Jump to 1:12:45 if the timestamp if the link doesn't take you straight there.
The knife is just a reference to the second stage.
The secret code likely has to do with their ARG they had going a while back.
Good shit my man! I love how this game pays homage to these older games by even including many funny and cryptic Easter Eggs! Reminds me of Banjo in many ways!
I love it for that. Coupled with the Paper mario esk chapters later in the game
RelaxAlax I think the underwater City one was a Bioshock reference
RelaxAlax I just watched your awesome review before this video
And all the hidden cheeses, I immediately thought of perfect dark, I wonder if they meant it that way.
Just to say, it too reminds me of Banjo.
3:28 T POSE HAT KID IS THE STRONGEST HAT KID
Boundary break Google maps.
No seriously...
Do it!
Google Earth!
Pretth much the same...
Well, yeah. But it's 3D. (i don't think Google Maps is 3D)
BUT IT LOOPS THO
Google maps is actually 3D when you're in "Satellite" view. Find a big city, zoom in, hold ctrl, and drag.
In the toybox there's a picture that Hat Kid drew of her and what looks to be her parents, as well as another person her size with blonde hair that looks crossed out. It might be possible that Mustache Girl is her sister! I'm curios as well if the blocks on the drawing saying "GFB" mean anything!
Gears For Breakfast I'd bet, its the dev company.
Why the amnesia with Mustache Girl then?
So what about the knife in the toy box?
Probably a reference to The Binding of Isaac
It's the rubber knife from the mystery train level.
Also, isn't there a variation of the dweller mask in there?
it so she can kill you while you sleep
JoJoCrafty Piggy dude its fake
I think the secret coded message is talking about hat kid (and maybe mustace girl)
And when it says the souls of his people i think its talking about the dwellers in subcon forest
This is a great game. If you have any interest in platformers like the Mario games or Banjo, it's definitely worth checking it out.
I recently did when it went on a Steam sale, and I can confirm that this game is legit fun.
I love it when developers actually acknowledge these kinds of things. From someone who loves finding easter eggs and learning about beta builds of certain games, this is genuinely cool to me.
Am I the only one that doesn’t understand half of what’s said explaining all these weird off camera secrets, but find it interesting anyway?
there is more of this:
ua-cam.com/play/PLdxodwGj_U_Lmpq49a-u6lu5jM1FfxDRp.html
If you're really curious, you can try and make a simple 3D game in Unity. Making something good is hard work, but making something simple just to get an idea of how it's done is much easier than you might think. You'll see that, while much more lax than rules of the real world, a game engine still has restrictions. And sometimes, much like with stage decoration or practical FX in movies, you have to hide things in clever ways to get the desired effects.
I know the pain.
To try and simplify some of what is being said (though I may not be perfectly accurate)
The final boss room: The werid thing outside was just a placeholder for when they were testing the game, and they simply didn't bother to remove it (as you can't see it anyways).
The transition effect in the forest- they hide the textures of the enviroment as they load in the minature area you speak to Snatcher. But since the objects are only invisible- they can still be touched- the area is brought up really high in the air as the cutscene plays, so once you're able to walk around the small circle you won't hit any trees or anything. Finally, once you are done in there, they just drop it back down and load everything else in.
Lastly, I too didn't understand much about the train, but the whole "specific angle" thing I got- two separate pieces of hardware control where you're looking at on screen (the GPU), and what to load in to visibility (the CPU). When you look at those awkward angles, the background disapoears as one thinks you aren't looking, and thus doesn't load the enviroment, and the other thinks you are- thus looking at the unloaded area.
You basically got the gist of it in the last paragraph. GPU is told what to do by the CPU. If you try to draw something that can't possibly be on the screen, it will get eventually discarded, but you are still wasting valuable GPU time preparing everything to be drawn. So a series of techniques generally referred to as culling are used to try and guess what need not be drawn at all. Specifically, frustum culling is responsible for discarding any geometry that cannot possibly fall in the field of view of the camera. Ideally, any method you use to hijack a camera in the game will affect both the actual orientation of the camera, and the position of the frustum used for culling. However, in the train scene, devs used a trick to move the terrain, which resulted in position of the frustum according to CPU and actual position of the camera according to GPU to disagree when the camera was in free mode.
so the coded message mentions snatcher. "the souls of his people" Pillars of fire" aka snatcher beams. "2 time travelers" So you may be like "OH two time travelers! its hat kid and Bow Kid!"
But only half of that is correct. bow kid never "time travels" Timmy does! Timmy was the co op[ character but bow kid had to barge in! there is a deleted image in the files that have a picture of hat kid and adult hat kid with what i believe timmy holding a sword. SOO Hat Kid and timmy are the 2 time travelers. the rest i didnt know.
Btw while you had the dev on phone you should have asked him Hat Kids Real Name!!
There are actually 4 letters in the bathroom stalls. 1 in each. "S, W, A, and N". Disappointing that they didn't hold much meaning.
WhatTheFnu Nami Swan :p
WhatTheFnu yeah I thought it was a ridiculous reach for him to say “Maggie smith”
@@MapleLeafAce It's a reference to " _Who_ _Shot_ _Mister_ _Burns_ ?". When Burns falls, his hands land on a compass for West and South. People assumed W.S. meant a clue for Wayland Smithers, but the plot twist/real answer was that the compass was upside down and Maggie Simpson shot him.
*swan*
"you feel ethereal"
same thanks
The dark poem about souls and dead suns is actually part of a bored Gears for Breakfast employee's ARG. There's an entire UA-cam channel with creepy videos full of ciphers that expand on that short segment you find in the closet. As far as I know it's officially non-canon but it was still fun to read.
"a message of hands"... gaster wtf are you doing in a hat in time
"I'm taken out" is THE new phrase as of today. It's about to take the world by storm.
I love boundry break, if you didn't make this show I wouldn't have known anything about the insides of games. Thank you for making more episodes of boundry break.
My bet is that if you follow the instructions at the end, you get a hat that's a cheese wheel that has the words "Sod Off" on it
The Cheese-wheels were all over the place! Thanks for taking my sugguestion on doing this episode, I was happy to find a way to Boundary Break in A Hat in Time!
Some Cheese-wheels you might've not saw was in the top of the train in the Conductor's chapter 1, and one over by the Lava Cake in Chapter 4!
Again thank you for doing the episode, I do enjoy you making these episodes!
Also , it's fun messing with the game's settings, you can remove gravity lol.
UNreal games are fun to break.
HAHAHAHAHA!!! FOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLL! Oh wait, it’s you?
Man, this game is fantastic. A wonderful gem in between all the big name releases
haaaaaa the blocks in the toybox spell GFB
the spirit of Dr. Tracksuit lives in this game
Really want to play Hat In Time but will wait a while to see if a Switch port is announced. I love the look of it though! :D
Let's Play Retro Games! I don’t believe that’s planned at all because the Switch doesn’t support the engine used for A Hat in Time.
Nicktendo 1 Yes it does support it, already has games out with the same engine. Rocket league specifically uses the same version (unreal engine 3)
I thought it was made in Unreal? That definitely is supported on the switch. I believe Snake Pass was made in it and that came out a while ago
the devs said a switch port is never going to happen due to the difficulty in porting it to the weaker switch hardware.
Just looked it up and this is the last thing they said... So it might be possible in the future.. Hey everyone, thank you so much for your continued support for A Hat in Time!! A while ago, we asked our fans to make sure to let everyone know how much you care for the game, and you really have! Humble and Gears now have access to Nintendo Switch devkits. Unfortunately we won't have time to touch the devkits for a while now that we're SO close to release (October 5th). Additionally, we'd like to remind everyone that there are NO PLANS for additional releases until we make any kind of official announcement.
apparently, that hidden coded message is part of some weird arg. theres a channel on youtube right now called "Mole Man1111" that is using the same code and speaking style as that note, and the gears for breakfast youtube channel apparently related to the channel according to youtube.
Holy cow! I heard that Banjo music at the end there! That's Grant for sure! Man, I'm with many others here, I kinda want to see if Yooka-Laylee and Hat in Time will both come out on Switch, and just get that AND the Rabbids game for Christmas or my birthday, instead of the PS4!
The secret messages sound like level names with the pictures relating to each level (although I didn't count them), maybe they'll be coming in a DLC?
Man, I love this creator. (Both Shesez and Jonas)
THat hat kid shrine is literally the darkest thing I've seen in this game. Then again, you have to expect REALLY creepy stuff in a game that doesn't focus around it, like the closet, knife, or Queen Vanessa herself
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was wanting an episode of a hat in time on boundary break and I saw you already did it with the creator as well. I'm very happy that I subscribe to this channel!
Shesez uploaded something right as I'm waking up?! You've just gotten my day off to a great start! :)
How come I didn't see this video in Twitter??? YOU MUST BE HIDING MORE SECRET EPISODES, EY SHESEZ!?
Great work as always, Shesez! Thanks for going above and beyond by getting a developer to help explain some of the things you found; that was a really nice touch.
Wanna know why there's so much room for the mafia boss? There exists a bit of prototype footage where he will be seen running towards hat kid in a 3D perspective, the boss was changed during the alpha/beta though, same with the boss in mafia town, it originally was more of a combat than beating up some mafia goons and then avoiding barrels
You know shesez, thank you for not cursing on your channel like lot of others do. This is one of the channels that I can watch with my 8 year old sister and she loves watching you explore these areas in game. She wanted to request you to boundary break Super Smash Brothers for Wii U one of her favorite Wii U games!
Grayson Wells I believe there already is a Boundary Break episode on Super Smash Brothers for Wii U.
I'll see if I can post a link to it.
DragonBallZKaifan2 I do remember him doing super smash Bros brawl, but not Wii u. If you do find it though, i would love to have the link. thanks!
It was something i was trying to decide early on but ultimately i went against cursing so that folks like yourself could feel safe in sharing with anyone. Super Smash Bros Wii U will undoubtedly be an episode some day. It's the channels responsibility to get them all out there
Shesez oh wow you actually replied! I'm glad you choose it! Thanks for having the time to read my comment, it really show how much you do for your fans! Right now she's in school but can't wait to show her you newest vid!
Grayson Wells Ok, I couldn't find a Boundary Break episode of Smash Bros. for Wii U, but I did find something similar on this channel. Link here: ua-cam.com/video/WLhfihnNWwY/v-deo.html
According to that video, the reason why there is no Boundary Break episode of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (At least in 2016. I do not know if the situation has changed since then.) is that the tools that were available at the time could only manipulate the camera in the game up to a point. More details are explained in the video.
About the last easter egg
There's an actual youtube channel with actual clips of those photos
It's very eerie and uses the same cryptic alphabet/puzzle to convey some messages
I can't remember the channel name since it was also very random.
Edit: Found it, channel name is Mole Man1111
nobody's gay for moleman
For those who aren't aware ''Sod off'' is Brit slang, its a more harsh form of telling someone to go away (''piss/f*** off'')
Its funny seeing those randomly put there, lol.
i thought it meant go away or something
This was awesome, great to hear what the developer had to say about it! Also, perfect on the ol' timing there Shesezyboyo, managed to squeeze this in before leaving for work :)
This is one of the suprising games of this year definitely indie game of the year for sure.
dragon_blade It'd probably go to some dumb artsy game or something. This game has very little publicity, which is a real shame because it's a fantastic game.
Definitely overshadowed by cuphead, which is a shame as both are equally fantastic games
whatifallpotsinzeldaarecuccos Cuphead isn't quite as fantastic. It's really lacking in gameplay.
At least we can look at the positives, like the chances of this getting a shitty fandom is low.
Cuphead on the other hand, has started getting those crappy ocs and erotic stuff.
"DJ Grooves actually has eyes under those giant sunglasses"
*_Yeah um... Failboat found that out._*
I'm new to your channel from DYKG and I'm so happy you guest starred because your type of videos are my absolute favourite so I'm really happy to find you and I'm off to binge watch all your past videos :)
That giant Sod Off cheese wheel behind the locked door really got me
There be whales here!
5:50 One time the whale went right into the course.
It's really nice when a dev explains certain things you find and have no clue what it is/does. "Hats" off to Jonas for doing this.
My #1 favorite series on UA-cam!
Note: The key above the tab does have a name, Shesez... Although, I would understand if ya didn't know it. It's kind of a weird one...
It's called a Tilde (till-duh).
Why was their blood on the floor?!
3:47 actually with some tricky platforming in the 2nd room of the stealth part, you can stand on top of the wall. Then if you carefully go back while still standing on the wall, you can stand on top of the 1st room of the level. Keep moving and you are in the parking lot. Kind of hard to explain in text form but if anyone is interested i could find a way to show them.
This was fantastic! I LOVED this game and it was so cool to be able to see things from it and get word from the creator himself! Thanks Shesez!
Hey Shesez, when are you going to do more sequence break?
With the release of South Park: The Fractured But Whole, do you think you might be able to do a Boundary Break of South Park: The Stick of Truth?
That was disproven by the earthbound video.
Hooray! Ive been waiting for this!
I remember that third floor in Vanessa's Manor in the beta build. I was actually surprised when it wasn't there in the final game.
Thank you
You're welcome :)
This game is adorable.
Hey man, great videos! I binged watched all of the Boundary Breaks over the last few days. The amount of time and effort you've put into this must be expansive. Have you ever thought about doing the Metro series? I would be really interested to see how they did those games. :)
Wow, I already loved this game but I had no idea they went THIS FAR capturing the spirit of older games. I'm so glad this game turned out so well.
That bit about BSP isn't right. Some miscommunication, perhaps, or a slip by the developer. BSP isn't a thing you put into a level. It's Binary Space *Partitioning*. It's a way of internally dividing up space of the level in the engine. And yes, sometimes you put extra geometry to help out with that or to patch holes, but the things you put in aren't BSP. Any chance he said/meant CSG (constructive solid geometry) or brushes?
Yeah, BSP is a way of storing objects in memory so that you can quickly select all the objects in an arbitrary volume (for things like collision detection) without using up too much memory. CSG is a way of rapidly constructing simple 3D shapes, say for quick level prototyping.
Huh, you're right, they are. From the Unreal docs: "Technically, BSP (Binary Space Partitioning) refers to a data structure that is used to organize objects within a space, and thus it is not semantically correct. A more accurate term for this type of geometry would be CSG (Constructive Solid Geometry)." So I guess it's a poor naming choice that stuck?
Yeah, I thought it was just a case of someone playing it fast-and-lose with terminology :) The key word there is *brush* and "BSP" is a descriptor. They're essentially dropping the wrong word in shortening it, thus changing the meaning and making it confusing. It's like saying "I'm puting alphabetical order in my drawer" or something - you can't put an idea anywhere, you can put some files IN an alphabetical order, IN a drawer. This will probably sound overly pedantic to most readers, but it's just when you know what BSP means, the thing said in the video just sounds baffling.
I haven't even heard of this game. I'm here for the Boundary Breaking.
It's a really good collect-athon platformer, you should definitely check it out!
It's a really great game, though, so if you're into 3D platformers (Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie,etc.), you'll certainly love it too.
It's a really great game, and it's not even that expensive! It's available on Steam right now for $30 and it'll be on PS4 and X1 sometime this fall.
I got the game and I absolutely love it. Best choice of my life.
A few things you missed in the video, but probably found out in the nearly 2 years this video has been up.
In Finale, the arena where you fight Mustache Girl, as well as the area outside the main area, are actually located far from each other. So far in fact, that you probably can't see it without the dev console. With the Arena, everything is there except for MG herself if you go there before entering her room.
Not 100% sure on this one, but reportedly all the time rifts are also loaded in the one map.
Another case of this is with Seal the Deal, where ALL of the DLC maps are loaded in at once. As a result, when loading the DLC, the game lags a little bit for a few seconds.
Something that I found on my own as of now, trying to be a bit boundary break-y. In the Boss Room of the Conductor/DJ Grooves, if you go out of it, you can find the opposing boss room on the other side. So for example, if you chose the Conductor as a boss, and went outside of the left wall, you can find DJ Grooves' boss room over there.
Was there ever a boundary break for witcher 3? There's a lot of locked rooms and cut scenes and things I never got to see through the windows
Damm son, I'm out right now and I'm playing a game with some friends and I can't stop to watch this!
I seen a gameplay part of the third floor on the mansion and it was quite awesome but it’s kinda cheap that it was cut cause I actually liked that you have to chase your evil clone to get the key to the next area but still since it’s in the game someone could possibly re-enable it in its buggy state.
I’m pretty sure the whole “prophecy in the closet” was part of the beta build, since the beta seemed a lot more story based going off of what we had, and even had a stone tablet depicting Several images.
(I also tried to piece together what this all meant, here are my results)
Two stars - (maybe something having to do with Conductor and DJ Grooves, or maybe HK and her adult self)
A black hole - (possibly something having to do with a Beta storyline, possibly caused by a time rift.)
Gate Way Of light - (I honestly have no idea, possibly something having to do with the rift areas, maybe Alpine Skyline, I couldn’t figure this one out)
A message of hands - (sign language? Wingdings? I have no idea )
(I forgot this one I’ll edit it in later)
The souls of his people - (probably something to do with Snatcher and his minions)
(I forgot this one too, I’ll edit later)
The truth between two time travelers - (in the stone plate that was cut we see HK depicted with her older self, the two time travelers, and the truth could be a secret they both know, or maybe it’s Tim.)
(I also forgot this one)
The promise of a hat - (something to do with Hat Kid most defiantly, maybe something to do with Tim or her future self.)
Hey what about that knife? Why'd they put it there?
I think it’s the rubber knife from Murder on Owl Express
which means that hat kid was the murderer ;-;
*MYYYEEERDERRERRR
How long will it take Shesez to get to have someone from one of the three gaming behemoths (Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft NOT in any particular order, to avoid hatred) on the show?
I would guees about a decade.
Any different opinions? And why?
This was a really cool episode! It makes me want to try playing A Hat In Time. If you ever get to making a Mother 3 episode of this series, could you try exploring some of the areas of TaneTane Island?
Yay, I've been waiting for this one!
Such a good game.
ill be glad when this game comes to PS4 so I can play it
guess what
Man I love this game so much
Great vid, man! Can’t wait to play this game for myself 😋
and there was too much sauce on the pizza! CAW CAW CAW
EVEN IF THERE WAS A GIANT FIRE
Can you do a Mother 3 boundry break pls?
YEESS PLEASEE!!
And a kingdom hearts episode would be incredible as well!
+The ruby assassin it's the wonderful sequel with better story, music, graphics and gameplay to earthbound/mother 2
+The ruby assassin you can play it on emulator with the fantranslation made some years ago. I really suggest you to play it. It's excellent behind compare. Absolutely gorgeous.
YES! This was what I was waiting for!
This is such an under-appreciated game......
And it has such good lore, too! I've spent hours doing this. I love exploring every little detail of it and the music is so good!
Will you do crash bandicoot n sane trilogy please?
cool boy He has done the original Crash Bandicoot game on PS1 already
cool boy he is talking about the PS4 remaster, Shesez can't do it because the PS4 has a specific features that prevent games from hacking into the files, so unless there's a way to bypass the specs hardware on PS4 we have to wait :/
Collin Adams how did you know?
Collin Adams on phone or ps1?
Dude, there's no og crash trilogy on phone.
F-Zero GX, please! (This is the fifth time I'm asking, so, uh, yeah. Hopefully you notice this Shesez).
He did do F-Zero GX, it's an older episode :3
Really now? I've searched for "Boundary Break F-Zero GX" but no results come out.
Not sure if I can give you a link or not, but it was posted about ayear ago. I searched "Boundary Break: F-Zero" and it was the top result. It's definitely there. Published on his channel on May 15, 2016.
Just saying, it's better to ask directly on Twitter... @BoundaryBreak
ua-cam.com/video/HasVfBibi5c/v-deo.html
Had this stuck in my watch later list since it came out, finally able to watch after finishing the game yesterday~
Thank u for doing this for my favorite game :D
I’m off... Takin’ out.
It is a phrase now, my friend.
Couldn't you just use the camera badge to look in the closet?
7:11 All ropes in subcon forest hang from nothing, including the nooses.
True
This was a amazing ep!!!
..the s on Brown mean sh#t and the m on the red means.... Menstrua... How the f you asume is a Simpson reference at first glance
are you sure its nut M for murder?
I think the Simpsons reference was a joke
can confirm what joedav67 said. Was joke
No you turn the m upside down for wumbo
wine maybe?
Love your stuff!
0:11 i never wanted this slow pan of hat kid t-posing next to some spiders
but now i realize i needed it
I never heard of this game before watching this, now I definitely wanna try it out
Excellent use of Cheato's Theme!
I was in 2 player and my friend spawned outside of the Snatcher Trap area and into a part of the level we hadn't been to yet. Ended up with a bunch of easy TimePieces
thank you for showing us this, awesome video! real old player you are
This is the best channel on youtube for lovers of all video games and video game culture. Unbelievable!
