This is one of those rare instances where you get the childlike wonder of what made you love gaming in the first place. This is a gem.
Yep, after all the consecutive half baked release of games this week only. Its just left me in awe.
The trailer alone just hooked me right in
Rust session with the boyz
i never think i came back again to relieve this
WoW this is so accurate
This game is a representation of Blarg's calmest state of mind.
yep. this sounds like facts
Don't worry he's just arab
Yep
He has a calm state of mind?
Usually his mind is like "frucket, frustard, and frogurt"
Thank you so much for checking out our demo! It's nice seeing you enjoying all the possibilities! Watching you play the game the team (Sad Owl Studios) and we are so hard working on for a long time makes me very happy.
veri cool
As a game development student, I'd just like to say that the tech behind this game _fascinates_ me. It's an incredible idea too, I've honestly never seen anything quite like it.
Amazing job, can't wait for the full release!
I haven't felt this excited about a physics/puzzle game since the original Portal. This is 100% going on my list and I can't wait to play the full game!
The idea is amazing and the execution is unpeccable! Hype Maxed out!
YOU GUYS MADE SOMETHING SO COOL!!!
0:32 anyone else notice how slick the editor was with this one, he is getting too good
I tought it was part of the game for a moment and I was really confused.
And again at 6:49
AYO I DIDNT SEE THAT
LMAO, I saw 6:49, but I didn't even notice that XD
The “you’re a dummy. -editor” part had me rolling 😂😂😂😂
yeah i saw that too lol
And the Like the video in the sky at the beginning too, wasn’t funny but whatever.
When/where?
@@futuredozer1735 I believe it was at the 6:50 area
Playing like a reviewer for IGN
The idea of being able to LITERALLY step into art is every artist dream, like this is SO COOL
Would be cool if this game have a creative mode where players could create and export their arts and turn it 3d
Rust session with the boyz
Step in Berserk
@@l.o.gfauzan1877 Oh that would be genuinely be amazing. I don't about the accuracy, or how they'd pull it off, but I know it'd be possible somehow.
Junji Ito : No thank you
"Why dont you eat my nuts" was the most out of pocket thing this whole video and im not upset about that. AMAZING game
when hiraya said "ang ganda" that means its beautiful. as a filipino im so proud for the devs
at 12:54 when she said "ok sige" I have my suspicion she could speak tagalog...
@@lazysuicidalSAME!!! i was so surprised when Hiraya said ang ganda which confirmed it lol
XD it was a good jumpscare, the sige part was sus, but somehow I still got surprised 😂
6:49 that tracking alone is a masterpiece, your editor is amazing smitty
Completely seamless too. I can only imagine how long that took
I heard they have to run the game a certain way that with higher frames it’s easier to track moving things rather than lower frames somethin like that but still looks amazing
@@DoctorBubba55 they're on about the editor writing a note on the canvas post-recording.
AGREED
It was, but editing software has autotracking and it was pretty well contrasted area, so I'm guessing it was mostly automatic. Still a nice edit :D
This is one of the most unique games I have ever seen, cant wait to play it when it officially releases
Ikr? It’s coming to console as well, definitely getting it for my PS5.
Rust session with the boyz
12:24.... could be my new favourtie smitty clip
His pure excitement at 18:06 was so adorable, loved that little giggle! 😆 Such a cool concept, I can't wait to see you play more of this when it fully comes out!!
You know you've made an incredible game when Smii7y is practically speechless. He's barely able to speak because he's so blown away. And we all are. This game is going to be a hit and we saw it here first.
Couldn't have said it better myself
is it VR?
Hell yeah!
@@brn2pil928Ooh, now that would be something! 🤯
Hey Smitty! Game dev here, what you experienced is a prime example of use of Shaders, that is the effect that is put on top of the assets in order to bring them into the same style, shaders are generally where coding and art are mixed the most when it comes to developing. I'm for sure playing this when it comes out it's such a wonderful love letter to what make game art so impressive !
Hey, I just noticed that Hiraya is Filipino here. Is there any chance that youre a filipino as well?
@@russianjesus9472 I am not 😅
I think whats on the picture is not just a simple texture but they are projecting the premade asset on it from a camera which is always looking at the asset. Then they are cutting out all the geometry in the shape of the picture and spawning the asset. Because of the simplistic artstyle, everything is rather lowpoly thus easier to calculate the cutting part. They are basically doing a boolean operation.
Now I want to play around in Unreal to mimic this effect. Great stuff!
Hey can i ask a question.What is the reason of the evil eyes?(8:27)
@@Aileenwastaken hey sorry for the confusion by game dev o meant someone who is in the industry not someone from this specific game, i just wanted to share some knowledge ❤so i can not answer your question
Game dev in “training” here, and i gotta say this game is beyond revolutionary for its mechanics. The fact that things like this are now possible leads to so many new ideas
Also i’d like to think that how the photos are done is when you press the align button, the game calls upon an object that is the “room” that appears when you use the photo, and then checks where to spawn it, what direction the camera is facing, and if any level geometry conflicts with the object, and if so then the object spawns into the geometry and cuts it to make a perfect fit.
It's as not technologically complicated as it may seem. The main beauty of this project is the vibe and idea. I would dare to say that rewinding time is more complicated than the photo mechanic.
@@GekogaWishnya after messing with it in totk, I completely agree with you
There's something strangely refreshing on seeing Smitty so genuinely exited for a game. You can see how much he loves this already, and ngl, Smitty playing new stuff he genuinely likes is something I absolutely adore on both the normal and the + channel
Smii7y saying "so cool" reminds me of Markiplier years ago when he was playing some space game and was also saying "so cool" to everything
Sperliminal or universe sandbox perhaps?
“Oh it’s soooooo coooooooool!” “My computer can’t handle the rendering.”
@@MOGSTER_MON9961 great song
"This camera physics thing is going to make me nauseous..."
Hi! I'm the voice actor for Chi Leung in this game!
A friend showed me this video and I think you just gave me a reason to get a headache from this game 😂
15:08
Y'know Smii7y, the people I watch that played ViewFinder, as far as I'm seeing, you're the only person that actually went through a little to pull the chain. Everyone else is like.
"Wait how can I get across?"
"Do I need to find a key?"
"Oh... OH WAIT I SHOULD MAKE MYSELF FALL IN THE PAINTING"
And yet here you are did the ideal simplest thing that a man should've done that everyone should have lmao.
7:38 crazy? i was crazy once. they locked me in a room. a rubber room. a rubber room with rats. rates make me crazy. crazy? i was crazy once.
This is literally insane. I can not get over with how they nailed so many different style of 2d drawing in to 3d stylized textures.
Fr this shit has superliminal vibes except for the uuh lack crippling silence and im loving it
I've seen art pieces using this sort of optical illusion. A whole game revolving this sort of thing is soooo cool. Seeing the different art styles in each area genuinely brought tears to my eyes.
Rust session with the boyz
15:13 somthing is written up there
btw even for me a gamedev (not de best one but still a gamedev) this is impressive
godamn theses shaders are insane
11:33 memento moment
This is the coolest thing you've posted this year. Just imagine playing this in VR
Easiest way to make someone throw up
@@slayerprayer8988 that would be roller coaster simulations 😅
I was thinking the same thing. VR support would be the cherry on top for this, even if everything else is already incredible.
The effect of swapping 2D to 3D would be VERY jarring in VR, where as on the flat screen it's indistinguishable from moment to moment. It might also look janky. You'd see right through the illusion the second you swapped in the 3D geometry. On the flat screen, you can't tell the difference until you move.
I love these solo play-throughs of Smii7y just enjoying what he plays
6:49 that's so cool! How did the editor manage to track the painting so well?!
This is Superliminal levels of mind fuckery and I’m all for it
I want an hour long compilation of the record player dialogues on loop with the background music. That was insanely relaxing
FR
I just gotta say, the enthusiasm and excitement for this game is absolutely adorable and delightful
Smii7y,I can hear you grinning throughout the video for the past 10:31. And it's hilarious. I'm tbe same way, dude.
Love this game already
I don’t watch his videos for a sec and all the sudden he can release a masterpiece and I get stuck in the cycle of watching every video.
Welcome back!
At 13:23 she said "ang ganda" it means it's beautiful in tagalog
Took me by surprise to suddenly hear my native language hahaha kagulat
Beautiful. Imagine playng this in VR. Incredible
Smiity: there’s not enough adjectives to describe how cool this game is.
0:32 DAMN give your editor a RAISE!
True
9:36 hello my name is Dr. Glenn Pierce i hope your enjoying your vacation SMII7Y
I’m excited to see more! Can’t wait for the full video and see what else they add! Very open and endless possibilities in this game, well done to the devs of this game!! ❤ thanks for the smiles and laughs smii7y, really needed it today. 😊
I just love seeing people enjoy games. People being truly enthralled by an experience and having fun every second. It’s amazing that games can achieve that
00:30 seconds in and im already amazed by how smooth your editors works are
Thanks you i thought only i noticed the like the video
I was going to comment on this too, but instead I'm going to thumbs up this comment.
Ty(e?) Has been a fantastic editor
I didn't notice that lmao
so smooth i thought that was part of the game
We already know this is going to be chaotic when smii7y plays anything
noone like the comment, its at 69
edit: god damnit people liked the comment
Now You To 69 Likes
That was not chaotic in the slightest
@@hackerkiller2131 yea whats up with smii7y comments and the word 'chaos' lol
@@hackerkiller2131 Im saying in like some how smii7y finds a way to find out a way to make a peaceful and calm game into chaos, or for short "a joke". I'm not saying all but most of the games he plays
This is incredible and i really hope you play the full game when it comes out.
This is amazing, can’t wait to see smii7y play the full thing
as an Filipino, when I heard her say "ang ganda!" my jaw dropped
LITTERALY ME OMGGGG
Same here
had to replay cuz i heard it
And when Hiraya said, “okayyyy Sige” around 13:00
To be fair, the dev could have some filipino inspirations since the girl's name Hiraya is an old tagalog word for imagination, dream, or hope which is also a part of a phrase which means "May your dreams come true."
Nice to have Tagalog Voice Lines on these games. It chills me to the bones. Thanks, SMii7y for this video. I hope you upload the full video of these games on release. Good luck and have fun always.
so it wasn't just me who heard tagalog
Hiraya is also a tagalog name
That's only the second time that SMii7Y has done something that's tangentially related to the Philippines.
'kala ko guni guni ko lang hahaha
Yeah I heard "Ang ganda" and Ayun
I'm geeking really hard and I wish I knew how these guys made it. it looks insane, you have all the appropriate reactions smii7y
This was so calming, I would love to see you do a playthrough of it!
One game I think Smitty and the boys would love is Deep Rock Galactic. That game can be pure chaos with the right people.
ROCK AND STONE
oh god
STONE!
DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?
Where RICH!!
ROCK AND STONE LETS GOOO
6:50 for a second I thought this was in the game lmao, outstanding editing
Can t wait for it , thx for sharing this game with us i m’ so happy i discovered it !
This is giving me huge Portal vibes in how creative the puzzles could be and how genius a player could feel finally figuring out a real stumper. I'm mega excited for this game, as well as the ongoing narrative and where the player is.
As fun and trippy as Superliminal was, this is next level. Can't wait for it
The speedruns of this game are going to be absolutely mind bending.
This was so cool. Can't wait for the full game
I seen 5 mins of this and I already love it.
I love smii7y playing games by himself, it’s very calming sometimes
imagine if these guys and the guys that made superliminal made a game together
Simply adding the camera from this to superliminal would be incredible
that’s exactly what this game reminds me of
Superliminal viewfinder that would get very confusing i think
@@bertkooijmans4769 but so freaking cool and trippy
That would be amazing!
Note: “stop messing with the teleporter”
Smii7y: *DESTROYS*
Smitty's humor and laugh combined with this game makes for a fun time. And because its going to be entertaining to watch , a serious needs to be made out of this. Bring more of this content smithy. Heck yeah!
6:45 Bro, your editor is funny!
It's refreshing to see Smii7y play a solo adventure game every now and then.
by far the most interesting style of gameplay ive seen this year, excited for more when it comes out!
Bro i need more of this this game looks amazing cant wait for the full game we all want you to make more vidoes about this game plz dude
His genuine wonder and amazement is so refreshing to see about new games, I can't wait for the release and for a longer playthrough video
this is INCREDIBLE. please play the full game when it comes out. I'll probably get it myself, when it releases.
i find this so cool to watch, jaw dropped all the time. I cant imagine how ur feeling rn playing it
I love how happy and excited Smitty is playing this game. A rare find in this day and age of video games. Such a brilliant concept for a game. Can't wait to see what they do with this moving forward.
as a programmer, this is insane
How would they even do this? You could probably create a line spawning from the camera and the corners of the photo and delete the area between the lines. Then you could instantiate each world in the deleted space. How anyone would come up with that is insane to me.
@@reversed5552 I could be wrong but I think this is achieved by a complex boolean operation. Essentially the game seems to compile a 3d world or an assortment of polygons into each photo. When you "deploy" the photo the polygons spawn in the colored 3d world and boolean with anything is collides with. Now I'm sure a ton of modifications have been made to the boolean operation because while raw 3d modelling, getting a clean boolean can be quite difficult at times depending on how you have your polygons. This game seems to apply a clean cut no matter how you place the object so I'd say its quite robust.
Note: If you don't know what boolean is it's essentially a term in computing where you take 2 values (in this case b&w world and colored world) and set them to interact with one another in different ways. Essentially what is PROBABLY happening in this case, is when you apply the b&w pic to the world a subtractive or difference boolean is applied with the polygon data in the photo. This means that any polygons in the b&w photo interact with it deletes. Then another boolean operation probably takes place directly after that applies the b&w photo an generates polygons in the exact spot where the subtractive operation took place. The subtractive boolean operation is probably heavily modified to automatically close off any open poly faces along with some other advanced parameters to ensure the subtractive boolean operation is clean every time so you don't get any weird looking polygons on screen. If you want to know more you can google or youtube "Maya 3d boolean"
I know some basic theory of 3d modelling and game development and by no means a practiced user or expert by any means so I could be completely wrong about all this. If anyone with more knowledge thinks I'm wrong please tell me because I too am curious on how this works.
Edit: Made this comment before finishing the full vid and didn't realize you start interacting with the other types of photos. In every reference of my comment where I say b&w photo I'm just referring to any photo you pick up in the game world and can generate new paths. All the same boolean concepts still apply no matter that nature of the photo.
@McDonaldsnapkin I completely forgot about boolean operations. Had to mess around with it while working in blender and unity.
My only experience with game design is in unity, but I remember downloading a package that allowed for boolean operations on meshes. Of course this was only in the editor, but I can imagine that you could apply this the same way during run time.
The only thing that I can't figure out is how they apply faces to the meshes that have been subtracted. Like when you apply a photo through a wall and the inside has faces applied to it instead of it being "see through." I can't even imagine how you would go about fixing that.
The whole photo thing is quite astonishing. The coding involved in that is incredible. Meanwhile, Redfall doesn't even have correctly built chimney stacks or breakable plant pots.
'For a game focusing so much on vampires, Redfall definitely sucks'
Probably what Sun Tzu would have said if he saw that piece of work, 2023
Rust session with the boyz
OMG that so tickled my brain. Thanks for showing this. I MUST PLAY THIS!!!
this is one Gorgeous game, can't wait to see it come out fully.
It was just hilarious that when smii7y realized there was a photo in the photo he just slammed the table
09:27 that's a voice which is pretty similar to Dr. Glenn Pierce from the game called "Superliminal"... Maybe they're connected somehow? 🙃
I absolutely LOVE games like this, and respect the fuck out of the work put into developing them
This is so cool, I need the full release.
I love Smii7y's relationship with his editor 😂
14:56 he has entered the game doom
Watching this so early in the morning makes me really contemplate life, and relive my favorite moments in gaming history. I will continue the video later today when I’m not so loopy. This game is…astonishing, to say the least.
Can't wait for the full thing. Glad you showed it to us Smii7y!
20:40 I already thought that you should've taken a photo for the battery
Honestly, this has got to be one of the coolest games and concepts I've seen in a long time. The uniqueness of this game is incredible and I am so fascinated with everything about it. I would love to see you play the whole game, and honestly might give it a go myself.
Cant wait for the full lets play
I love the atmosphere of this game
You know it’s a good day when smii7y uploads
It's always a joyous yet hilarious time when Smii7y presents us a new game!
can't wait for the full game!
This game is at next level 🔥♥️
Love you so much smitty thanks for helping me through with all the funny moments
this looks amazing. These types of videos are my absolute favorite and watching you have so much fun is a great experience
I'm every bit as blown away as you are. That's mindblowingly COOL.
i watched an ad of this and fell i love with it. glad that you're playing it cause lord knows my trash laptop isn't running this game
Immediately tried to find the demo, but it’s now on my wishlist. Thank you Smii7y for introducing me to this masterpiece
Seeing you get so excited about this amazing game was so heartwarming. I dont think ive ever seen this kind of reaction or excitement from you and it made the video even more enjoyable. Cant wait for the official release
I LOVED this it WAS so cool and awesome and mind blowing
This is SO COOL! Everything about it!
The concept of the game alone is already amazing and mind breaking, if it isn't obvious to what Smii7y's reactions to the game, it definitely will be a big hit...... cant help but notice, correct me if im hearing this right, 12:54 hiraya replies saying "Okay" then i think i heard the next word "sige", which is filipino for fine, all right or Okay.
.
.
.

Just wanted to share this bit to others to confirm wether hearing im right.... or i need to get my ears checked.

Never mind hiraya knows filipino language 13:27 "Ang ganda" my ears are fine
no, buddy, your ears heard em right. **sings lupang hinirang**
1:23 smi77y jinxed the narrator
I love this
Once the full game comes out play it this is amazing
