      ​@@Aerational No, I believe it's the planes of existence that we merely can't interact with and vice versa.
      What the 4th dimension actually is for "us" in reality is time. We're limited by our ability to move backwards and forwards but also exit our space curvature. If M theory is true, the ability of a 5th dimensional being would be multi dimensional. Meaning they could move through both time and space between spaces that're physically static to us.
      The concept mind you of a 4D space in a video game is merely adding "extra space you can't see" by extending your horizon of movement with a "different axis" meaning with this given ability you can move through "3D space" like a "4D being", you still can't actually exist in 4D space because that would break you out of the 3rd dimension into whatever it looks like beyond..3D space wouldn't make sense in 4D.
      We look like we're in a transparent box to them. They can see through the box...they can also see us as we do stuff back and forth like a play/rewind. Our string of reality is linear, it changes along it's route but what is is and what is will always be and have been.
      Beyond that for us are possibilities endless both great and terrible. Hopefully our sliver is a Goldilock universe.
      Just to add, I have personally held theories on this matter. For example, everything you do changes reality, you just never witness it.
      I also believe that we die many times through our lives but we exist in the universe where "it never happened"...Not sure if it's fate like a roulette wheel or based in some higher structured gambit. Your willpower and actual doings are what changes your reality. We will exist in the same reality together for a time, but I will not be the same person typing this to you in the same space time after the fact.
      I will be the same person having remembered this etc- but on some cosmic level, the universe we're at right now as I write this has split countless times already over. It's mind boggling if you actually think about infinity...

Consider that we have 1D time, which clearly puts the past behind the present, and the present behind the future in a chronological number line. If you were to add a second dimension, making a time plane, that would allow you to loop back to the past, opening up Pandora's box to all sorts of paradoxical dilemmas. To keep things simple, I would sidestep all that craziness and simply apply multiverse theory or different rates of time (how "fast" time passes) as the extra dimensions of time.

    This is truly amazing. Great work. I played your demo version on Steam and one thing I noticed is the 4D rotation speed is pretty slow, even on the max setting. As an example, if you press CTR+R to realign and then place an exotic looking block in front of you and then start rotating 4D it will take almost forever to get back to the aligned position where you started. Have you considered making the 4D rotation steps larger. That way it would make more sense I think. Also the 4D rotation seems to be dependent on the looking direction of the player which makes things even more confusing. But maybe this is all intentional and I simply can't grasp the concept of this strange game....

      Even creepier than that. In the same way that you can see the inside of a 2d circle on a piece of paper, a 4d being would be able to see into you. And the same way you could grab a 2d apple out of that 2d circle without breaking the sides, a 4d being would be able to reach into your stomach without breaking the skin. It wouldn't even need to be malicious. It could mess you up just by walking around, the same way you can walk through a spiderweb without seeing it first. It could rotate you through the 4th dimension making you into your own mirror image. After the flip your wedding ring would be on what still felt like your left hand but everyone would tell you that you are wearing it on your right. The words on your shirt would be backwards and you would have to re learn all your sensory inputs because the ear thats been on the left side of your head your whole life now hears people on your right.
