Fun fact: the blank white character model in this “game” was actually slightly modified by the makers to have nipples but that’s it. That’s literally the only thing they added to the model. Nipples…….64 grand folks
Lol. From just briefly looking at it I instantly recognized it as the default unreal engine character model. That’s funny that they didnt even create a character they just gave the default one nipples.
The everyone and no one line is so versatile. “when it’s everyone’s job, it’s nobody’s.” “If it’s nobody’s problem, then it’ll become everyone’s.” There are many others, but two will suffice for now.
We had to use unity to make a game level and pixel game maker to also make a level. I think these guys should just invest in pixel game maker and learn that instead.
@Mr.Springtrap What? CDPR Promised one thing and we got something else. It was not just the bugs. Parts of the game are missing, core game mechanics are missing, cop system was done in last few days so there would be something there...It´s all made to misslead people. Release was made to mislead and controll the outcome. The game we ware promised was years away. Maybe not 5 but at least 2. And what do you mean "you guys"? I told people that there ware many red flags but i was jump on because it´s CDPR and it´s gonna be perfect. Just few people ware also seeng problems but majority was blown away buy that superb PR.
@Mr.Springtrap If you told me that before CP2077 i would not believe that either. But they did it. Their intention from the begining was not to scam peole but something happened in the developement fase. They cut out what they could use and released it. So many lies and restrictions on the release. Also no reviews on consoles on release day. It was all conciously manipulated because they whanted to make as much as possible before the true got out. They scammed people. Even Sony removed the game from their store...How many has this happened on a release on AAA game? Never! CDPR are not what they ware before and i will never buy anything from them again. Not because of how bad CP2077 was but what they did to cover up and lie on the release to scam people of money. I hope others do the same and never buy their products again. Things like this should never be tolerated.
When a game has to present itself explaining how "we know this looks like a scam but we promise it's not a scam", you can be preeetty sure it's a scam.

@@JamesDavy2009 Atleast the R&C series has a unique identity of 3rd person adventure shooter with a story, comprehensive game mechanics, visually stunning environments and well designed weapon systems.

@@JamesDavy2009 Except Ratchet and Clank is a successful franchise, unlike this 'game' here. Also, apart from R&C, another franchise that incorporates mishmash of genres is probably the Yakuza series. Mood whiplash is real in that one.

Then it branches off into wacky hijinks sub stories/quests.

Con Artists like these are the reason Kickstarter has harnessed such a foul reputation, despite it having fostered projects which turned out to be absolute Masterpieces like Hollow Knight.
Honestly is more of the backers fault. Almost all failed game kickstarters are like this game: an asset flip that promised features that not even AAA devs can't implement. One of the most recent ones I can remember is Day of dragons. Its initial demo was a unity HD environment a with a dragon character running around with bad animations and still got 500k, and the game still in a early beta state with no primary gameplay implemented. Like if people continue to back obvious asset flips they shouldn't be surprised at all the project never comes out.
Much as its reputation for video games is terrible,it actually has a very Good reputation (or, well, did last I checked) when it comes to boardgames. It probably helps that, with the possible exception of the owners of the largest publishers, no one ever actually gets Rich making board games. The best creators make a decent living off it, the rest do it mostly as a side job or as a hobbie that occasionally pays for itself.

There is something fishy about English classes too. 8 years in elementary school, 4 more in high school, then 50% of my classes are English style book report classes and my "electives" had to be the same... I took programming in college, not English. Seems like there are a bunch of people with useless English degrees and they do the hiring.
@@ragnarok7976 you serious? There isn't such thing as English degrees. Lol you just need to have a firm grasp on the language cuz believe it or not a lot of people in America can't utilize the language to a useful degree. English teachers do however have the capability to influence more teachers in general. There's nothing nefarious about it on a surface level but Homework does turn out to be worthless to most individuals.
@@Altares_V There is such thing, believe it or not. One of my teachers in college had an English degree, a PHD actually (I know because she insisted on being called "Doctor", and brought it up every chance she got). Couldn't find anything she published, or any citations of her work though. Well case and point, English is a massive part of public curriculum but most people can't use it very effectively. I don't think what I said has to be nefarious. People with these English degrees think they have value so when and if they hire they look for that. It's more so incompetence and narcissism, as far as I'm concerned.
Personally I've had nothing but positive experiences with Kickstarter, the idea that some dirty scammers might tarnish that reputation for other users saddens me.
That grey dummy is the character template that comes with Unreal engine, that "trailer" was basically made using unreal's third person perspective game template and adding a bunch of bought (or pirated) assets into it. You could make that trailer in a day without needing to know much.
Well, someone just guaranteed themselves a successful career in the triple A games industry. EA and Activision are going to be fighting over who gets this guy.
And the "Last game you'll ever play" tagline could be a reference to the one life thing the book and film (Alongside a CERTAIN ANIME that gets a lot of hate) use.
The scandal kicks in as soon as you see the guys happy face after the trailer!! He was almost giddy bc he knows he just scammed thousands of dollars from trusting people. Lol
I'm so glad you're covering this - the MMO community has been following this scam for months now, and it deserves a lot more widespread attention because of how f'ing ridiculously egregious it is
MMOs have been the source of scandals for years. They do so many shitty things that they've long gotten away with simply because it's been the norm for ages now.
@@Anonymoouss13 Umm no. Literally all of the Destiny 2 hate has been warranted. If you've ever played the first game you would know how shitty the second one was.
Fallout 76 stands over a cliff with it's **** boldly flapping in the wind and the tattooed "AAA" glistening in the sun. DreamWorld steps up next to it with an even more massive **** with the word "INDIE" tattooed on it. . . . . No one is impressed either way as they both s*it themselves.
well, you *could* make a game that unites many different genres and it'd work very well but if you're trying to put ALL genres in, you basically need to make the game somehow "match-based" you can't throw together people who wanna play the game as fps with ballistics and stuff with people who wanna play the game like an mmo with "auto-aim" and just activating abilities. ignoring all the work needed in the back to deliver an enjoyable performance, i could see an mmo that lets you mine and build like space engineers or no man's sky while also being an fps/3rd person shooter. add to that the option to hire NPCs for different jobs (construction, combat, piloting vehicles...) i could also see how to add an rts-component to that game. with bars and clubs you could then add several different minigames like GTA or the witcher did (bowling, dart, billard, cardgames...). with a nice story, dialogue options, levelling, upgrades to equipment (kinda like borderlands, mass effect or the division) you can then add rpg-elements on top of it and it might be an awesome game. hell, if it's kinda survival-y anyway, you can also add some simulation-elements regarding food (farm simulator) and logistics (truck simulator/flight simulator to sell and deliver produced goods that you don't need) what i don't see however is how you'd add point&click, turn based, sidescroller etc elements in such a game, where's just too many genres that don't fit together except if you go into some "hub" region where you start (team based) matches in which you can have rules that you don't have in the regular game-world but even if devs could craft such a game, it'd probably run like ass (like most, if not all of these voxel-mining-in-a-beautiful-world-with-built-bases-and-vehicles-games do), even more so if you try to let a couple dozen people mine and build on the same world, not even talking about millions...
If I were you guys. You need to check "Ashes of Creation" they are the most promising mmo to be released in the future. In fact they have UA-cam Channel to show their progress. Just type "Ashes of Creation YT Channel".
@Dale Macarena not sure I can link cause spam filters. But Josh Strife Hayes, KiraTv, Callum Upton. MMO focused channels who covered this. I don't play MMOs. But the boys make good vids, Josh especially.
So what i got from the trailer portion you showed is that they literally just slapped together nearly every unreal asset they could get their hands on to pitch this project. Every single image showing the game on the kickstarter page is something you can find on the unreal asset store. The note about millions of people in a persistent world.... The only game that i know of that can boast thousands of people in a single instance is in Eve Online and they broke the server. If this "developer" somehow solved the issue of having large amounts of people on a single server i would tell him to prove it. Planetside 2 is one game that can boast being able to have thousands of players on a single server but in reality its more like one big server with multiple smaller servers nested inside of which players interact. Its kinda the reason why i feel that once a region is won it goes into lockdown and people are shunted into another region, its just another way for automated maintenance to happen without players seeing it as such. Its also why while you can be part of a massive battle, once a hex gets saturated with people a limit is imposed and if you die there you get shunted into a different battle area. Eve online also has player limit caps in each system, mainly because one its an old game, but two its because massive battles stress the servers massively. I mentioned in the first paragraph that the latest massive battle that broke an all-time record of people in a single system(instance) and then broke the game as that many people in one system just cant be calculated with precision and weird things happened even with the Time Dilation that Eve has... In all honesty i never heard of this game until this video and im honestly not surprised.
And as a side note on eve, even the "regular" massive battles that break out between factions are subject to server time dilation in order to keep things from breaking. So all these huge battles are glorified slide shows. It's impressive nonetheless due to the insanity to keep that all running
@@tjakal this makes me sad, because the people you love, you want to believe in, even if its absurd, but thats the price for caring about others, sometimes it takes a while to finally put together that they dont deserve it.
Lets talk about Game Development terms. Pre-Alpha means "before any game systems are functional". Literally you're talking about the work done after the conceptual stage. Pre-alpha generally has nothing playable to show. Alpha: There is enough work done that you can demonstrate some concepts of the game, but it isn't ready for play. Testing would focus on the elements the developers direct you to test. Expect massive changes from one alpha build to the next, and a lot of place holder content. Beta: There is enough work done to consider this a game. All major game systems should be included by this point, though that isn't always the case. Sections of the game should be "complete" but require polishing. More systesm can be added, and sections can be removed and revamped at this point. Testers should report every "bug" they find at this point even if it isn't what the developers want to focus on. Also testers should provide general feedback. Gold: The game is ready to ship. No further development other than bug fixes should be done at this time. Testing still continues. Generally the development team takes a break unless they know the project is a hot mess rushed out the door despite all the bugs.
If these guys can claim to be “devs” with that little experience, then I’m a better chef than Gordon Ramsey because I watch Chopped once in a while when I’m microwaving pizza rolls🙄
If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. I don't think I've ever seen so many red flags in a single kickstarter..and yet some people still gave them money.
It's *been* really bad >_> Don't know why Yong is covering it nearly a month after the fact, other than lacking content of his own to make these days...
@@DxBlack I've ben following this MMO quite a bit and was wondering when Yong would get around to it. Surprised he didn't get to it sooner with all the backlash the "game" is getting.
More like "I opened a tutorial on Unreal Engine, but it looked too complicated so I just downloaded the finished demo project and claimed it as my own" :)
I don't even know how people can look at this and invest. They promised to make a single world host millions of players at once. Did nobody notice the trailer showing the engine struggle to render fireworks on a free village asset? OBVIOUSLY the dream was too big for them to even implement an unfinished game optimally for a trailer.
If you can not recognize all the glaring elephant sized warnings signs to this being a scam or an unrealistic fantasy then you should have a conservator placed in charge of your money.
Taquito Bandito is actually my ex fiancé. He proposed last week, and when I went to get the ring adjusted, the jeweller told me it couldn't be done because the ring was fake and would melt completely if he tried to resize it. I called off the engagement straight away.
I used to work with a dude who called situations and folks like this 'willow trees' because they were shady from the ground up. This whole situation fits.
Honestly I find it hard to empathize with the backers. The project had a ton of red flags from the start. like man if it's too good to be true it probably isn't. Whoever was gullible enough to shell out money for this deserves it.
Anything advertising itself as being "infinite\endless" or having infinite\endless possibilities should immediately go into the red-flag bin. I honestly have absolutely no sympathy for the people who decided to back this, as they're also contributors to the problem of Kickstarter scams.
FYI if you let players upload random files, which merely "self identify" as 3D objects via their extension, and then have these files automatically download onto other players machines you should probably have a staff large enough to have people on network security.
this should tell everyone that we have a huge problem in the gaming industry when crap like this happens, the devs should be arrested, for illegally using assets that do not belong to them, lying, manipulation, as well as using kids to further their "game"
Uh... yeah... there's a lot here.

It's a good change!
In design college we often say that: "if you say your target audience is everyone, then your target audience is no one."
Same concept as When Everyone is Super
No one will be. Such a simple yet unfathomable concept for some people its insane.
Same goes with sales and marketing 🤣 learn the hard way
Making a game is like making a cake. You can't just throw every ingredient into it at once or it'll taste terrible.
The everyone and no one line is so versatile.

“If it’s nobody’s problem, then it’ll become everyone’s.”
There are many others, but two will suffice for now.

this is amazing. they literally promised EVERYTHING and ppl give him money.. i wanna become a con-artist aswell now!
They learned it from CDPR and Cyberpunk 2077.
Hearing about this makes me wanna watch The Music Man (The good version. Not the crappy Disney version)
@Mr.Springtrap What? CDPR Promised one thing and we got something else. It was not just the bugs. Parts of the game are missing, core game mechanics are missing, cop system was done in last few days so there would be something there...It´s all made to misslead people. Release was made to mislead and controll the outcome. The game we ware promised was years away. Maybe not 5 but at least 2. And what do you mean "you guys"? I told people that there ware many red flags but i was jump on because it´s CDPR and it´s gonna be perfect. Just few people ware also seeng problems but majority was blown away buy that superb PR.
@Mr.Springtrap If you told me that before CP2077 i would not believe that either. But they did it. Their intention from the begining was not to scam peole but something happened in the developement fase. They cut out what they could use and released it. So many lies and restrictions on the release. Also no reviews on consoles on release day. It was all conciously manipulated because they whanted to make as much as possible before the true got out. They scammed people. Even Sony removed the game from their store...How many has this happened on a release on AAA game? Never! CDPR are not what they ware before and i will never buy anything from them again. Not because of how bad CP2077 was but what they did to cover up and lie on the release to scam people of money. I hope others do the same and never buy their products again. Things like this should never be tolerated.
@@arteljus983 man someone’s real butthurt. There is a major difference between a scam and a game that was released a few years too early

Con Artists like these are the reason Kickstarter has harnessed such a foul reputation, despite it having fostered projects which turned out to be absolute Masterpieces like Hollow Knight.
Don't forget about it Shovel Knight and Bloodstained. I can't say the same thing for Yooka Laylee even though I do like that game.
Honestly is more of the backers fault. Almost all failed game kickstarters are like this game: an asset flip that promised features that not even AAA devs can't implement.
One of the most recent ones I can remember is Day of dragons. Its initial demo was a unity HD environment a with a dragon character running around with bad animations and still got 500k, and the game still in a early beta state with no primary gameplay implemented.
Like if people continue to back obvious asset flips they shouldn't be surprised at all the project never comes out.
Much as its reputation for video games is terrible,it actually has a very Good reputation (or, well, did last I checked) when it comes to boardgames. It probably helps that, with the possible exception of the owners of the largest publishers, no one ever actually gets Rich making board games. The best creators make a decent living off it, the rest do it mostly as a side job or as a hobbie that occasionally pays for itself.

Well case and point, English is a massive part of public curriculum but most people can't use it very effectively.

well, you *could* make a game that unites many different genres and it'd work very well but if you're trying to put ALL genres in, you basically need to make the game somehow "match-based" you can't throw together people who wanna play the game as fps with ballistics and stuff with people who wanna play the game like an mmo with "auto-aim" and just activating abilities.
ignoring all the work needed in the back to deliver an enjoyable performance, i could see an mmo that lets you mine and build like space engineers or no man's sky while also being an fps/3rd person shooter. add to that the option to hire NPCs for different jobs (construction, combat, piloting vehicles...) i could also see how to add an rts-component to that game. with bars and clubs you could then add several different minigames like GTA or the witcher did (bowling, dart, billard, cardgames...). with a nice story, dialogue options, levelling, upgrades to equipment (kinda like borderlands, mass effect or the division) you can then add rpg-elements on top of it and it might be an awesome game. hell, if it's kinda survival-y anyway, you can also add some simulation-elements regarding food (farm simulator) and logistics (truck simulator/flight simulator to sell and deliver produced goods that you don't need)
what i don't see however is how you'd add point&click, turn based, sidescroller etc elements in such a game, where's just too many genres that don't fit together except if you go into some "hub" region where you start (team based) matches in which you can have rules that you don't have in the regular game-world
but even if devs could craft such a game, it'd probably run like ass (like most, if not all of these voxel-mining-in-a-beautiful-world-with-built-bases-and-vehicles-games do), even more so if you try to let a couple dozen people mine and build on the same world, not even talking about millions...

So what i got from the trailer portion you showed is that they literally just slapped together nearly every unreal asset they could get their hands on to pitch this project. Every single image showing the game on the kickstarter page is something you can find on the unreal asset store. The note about millions of people in a persistent world.... The only game that i know of that can boast thousands of people in a single instance is in Eve Online and they broke the server. If this "developer" somehow solved the issue of having large amounts of people on a single server i would tell him to prove it. Planetside 2 is one game that can boast being able to have thousands of players on a single server but in reality its more like one big server with multiple smaller servers nested inside of which players interact. Its kinda the reason why i feel that once a region is won it goes into lockdown and people are shunted into another region, its just another way for automated maintenance to happen without players seeing it as such. Its also why while you can be part of a massive battle, once a hex gets saturated with people a limit is imposed and if you die there you get shunted into a different battle area.
Eve online also has player limit caps in each system, mainly because one its an old game, but two its because massive battles stress the servers massively. I mentioned in the first paragraph that the latest massive battle that broke an all-time record of people in a single system(instance) and then broke the game as that many people in one system just cant be calculated with precision and weird things happened even with the Time Dilation that Eve has... In all honesty i never heard of this game until this video and im honestly not surprised.
And as a side note on eve, even the "regular" massive battles that break out between factions are subject to server time dilation in order to keep things from breaking. So all these huge battles are glorified slide shows. It's impressive nonetheless due to the insanity to keep that all running

Lets talk about Game Development terms. Pre-Alpha means "before any game systems are functional". Literally you're talking about the work done after the conceptual stage. Pre-alpha generally has nothing playable to show.
Alpha: There is enough work done that you can demonstrate some concepts of the game, but it isn't ready for play. Testing would focus on the elements the developers direct you to test. Expect massive changes from one alpha build to the next, and a lot of place holder content.
Beta: There is enough work done to consider this a game. All major game systems should be included by this point, though that isn't always the case. Sections of the game should be "complete" but require polishing. More systesm can be added, and sections can be removed and revamped at this point. Testers should report every "bug" they find at this point even if it isn't what the developers want to focus on. Also testers should provide general feedback.
Gold: The game is ready to ship. No further development other than bug fixes should be done at this time. Testing still continues. Generally the development team takes a break unless they know the project is a hot mess rushed out the door despite all the bugs.

Now onto EArth 2, or the game more expensive than the entire real Earth
@@DxBlack I've ben following this MMO quite a bit and was wondering when Yong would get around to it. Surprised he didn't get to it sooner with all the backlash the "game" is getting.
That literally looks like "yes I watched a tutorial on unreal engine" type'a game.
More like "I opened a tutorial on Unreal Engine, but it looked too complicated so I just downloaded the finished demo project and claimed it as my own" :)
I don't even know how people can look at this and invest. They promised to make a single world host millions of players at once. Did nobody notice the trailer showing the engine struggle to render fireworks on a free village asset? OBVIOUSLY the dream was too big for them to even implement an unfinished game optimally for a trailer.
If you can not recognize all the glaring elephant sized warnings signs to this being a scam or an unrealistic fantasy then you should have a conservator placed in charge of your money.
24:11 Notice how Kaplan squeezes his eyes. He's doing that so his smile looks more authentic.
I like how one of the models they used in the trailer is literally Unreal's default character model
Taquito Bandito: Hey look another guy green screening their bedroom.
Ha! JSH still has his sign up!
@@JosieJOK i know. It's gonna make for a good running background gag.
Taquito Bandito is actually my ex fiancé. He proposed last week, and when I went to get the ring adjusted, the jeweller told me it couldn't be done because the ring was fake and would melt completely if he tried to resize it. I called off the engagement straight away.
Ah, that idiot. 🤣
Wow. I did not expect a reference to this on Yong's video.
Thanks for writing that though Rabbitlord. It gave me a good laugh.
I used to work with a dude who called situations and folks like this 'willow trees' because they were shady from the ground up. This whole situation fits.
Thats good
Im gonna steal that one
It's always a really good sign to see the standard Unreal Engine Character in a game trailer.
Mark Jacobs said it a long time ago. MMOs have to be addictive on some level to be profitable.
And scams like this rely on that heavily.
Honestly I find it hard to empathize with the backers. The project had a ton of red flags from the start. like man if it's too good to be true it probably isn't. Whoever was gullible enough to shell out money for this deserves it.
lol everything about this stunk from the beginning.
Anything advertising itself as being "infinite\endless" or having infinite\endless possibilities should immediately go into the red-flag bin. I honestly have absolutely no sympathy for the people who decided to back this, as they're also contributors to the problem of Kickstarter scams.
Sounds like No Mans Sky's promises
@@talorw8930 If they do the sun will explode 😂
People should go to jail for things like this, we really need to stop this trend of "hope selling"
I'm so glad more and more people are spreading news about Dreamworld.
Seeing YongYea mentally facepalming at the more ludicrous stuff is exactly what I wanted from this video.
The game is asset flipped? Oh boy...wonder if Jim Sterling caught wind of this news...
Why because Jim sterling just flipped his assets?
@@XxgoodbudsxX pfft
Surprise mechanic! Surprise!
@@XxgoodbudsxX HA!
FYI if you let players upload random files, which merely "self identify" as 3D objects via their extension, and then have these files automatically download onto other players machines you should probably have a staff large enough to have people on network security.
I can feel my security senses wince at the potential malware payload...
can't wait for players to start uploading nude SFM models
this should tell everyone that we have a huge problem in the gaming industry when crap like this happens, the devs should be arrested, for illegally using assets that do not belong to them, lying, manipulation, as well as using kids to further their "game"
Thank you so much for providing your sources!
I certainly want to grab a bowl of popcorn and read more about this.
