4D Golf is LIVE!

[@jennareynolds1403]

Playing it now and I am shocked at how intuitive this is after the tutorial. This feels like strong evidence that the human mind /can/ understand higher spatial dimensions, given the right input. Frighteningly easy to make sense of, actually

[@PunmasterSTP]

That sounds awesome! I plan to get it asap after I get off of work and take care of family stuff. And since it's a Friday, I might be able to spend a few hours with it!

[@seannewell397]

Plasticity baby

[@Scoopta]

This makes one of us...I played about half an hour and I'm still completely lost in 4D lol. I basically can only follow it in volume view and even then not all the time...

[@PunmasterSTP]

@@Scoopta That was very similar to my experience! I almost feel like I'm cheating and not really conceptualizing things properly by using volume view. It's like I'm playing some other (regular 3D) game where I have to launch a projectile through a series of tubes. It was interesting though, and the graphics and music were really aesthetic. Maybe things will start to click more when I can spend more time with it...

[@Scoopta]

@@PunmasterSTP yep, I feel the same about volume view but I'm struggling to grasp the slicing. I understand it conceptually but my head can't make sense of it

[@Mashpoe]

Congrats on the release! I know firsthand that there's a lot that goes into making a game work in 4D, and it's nice to see that 4D games are finally becoming more popular!

[@CodeParade]

It sure is! And thanks for pushing the boundaries of 4D games yourself, you really helped set the foundation and inspired a lot :)

[@fifablockly9752]

😮

[@TobyJWalter]

Omg Mashpoe

[@canalso5806]

is there a way to translate a 4D world in to a 2D screen? like making 4D objects look 3D while making 3D objects look 2D (while 2D and 1D objects still looking the same)?

[@AmaroqStarwind]

I believe that all 4D game developers should unite into one studio.

[@Stratzenblitz75]

This game was genuinely so much fun. It gives an intuition for 4d space that I really wasn't expecting to get from a game. Not to mention an incredible technical achievement too!

[@Stratzenblitz75]

Just to add, it was a solid experience too. I didn't encounter any bugs which is such a breath of fresh air.

[@MilkGlue-xg5vj]

JUST AS SOON AS I LOOKED IT UP IT WAS JUST RELEASED AND THIS VIDEO WAS 3 MINUTES OLD SO HAPPY TO WITNESS THISSSSSSSSSSS

[@Doctor_C_Jack]

Same but 24 minutes for me!

[@PunmasterSTP]

I watched the other videos that came out before, but am still stoked the day finally arrived!

[@ThePondermatic]

I got to the part that's the "major feature you haven't announced publicly." Code Parade, my man. You absolute lunatic. You're sitting on some of the most mind-blowingly cool technology video games have ever seen and you're not telling people about it.

[@androgameplayer8148]

SPOILER AHEAD It's 5d golf

[@ziggyzoggin]

SPOILER Yeah!! like in the video where he talks about 4D rendering, it seems like the only reason any of this was possible was because 3D rendering occasionally needs 4D vectors. How did he slice so many 5 cells in real time? how did he make all those 5D tools just for one world?? It seems truly impossible, I'm so excited for the explanation. Hoping that the devlog is as good and explanatory as I'm hoping!

[@ThePondermatic]

​@@ziggyzogginI absolutely agree, the amount of effort it must have taken makes me dizzy just thinking about it! I hope Code Parade reads this comment, because I believe it is 100% true: If Code Parade licenses this technology to other devs and offers consulting services on using it, he could potentially set himself up for life.

[@ziggyzoggin]

@@ThePondermatic For real. I wonder why we can't make our own 5D levels in the editor though

[@Appletank8]

​@@ziggyzoggin5D golf would kill a beast, let alone a man.

[@DanielStaver]

This is by far the most intuitive way of understanding 4D space that I've come across. And I've watched just about every video about 4D and tried every application I could get my hands on. 4D golf just makes it so easy! I felt I was getting a good sense of how to find the ball within five minutes of playing. I actually didn't think this was possible. Great job!

[@Ditocoaf]

Hell yes. I'm so glad you spent the time to make this into its full self. I've wanted a game that lets you get a feel for four spatial dimensions, ever since Meigakure was teased in 2010. And this idea is perfect, there's no genre that's as straightforwardly about "understanding the geometry" as a minigolf game.

[@Oscaragious]

Well, maybe billiards, although slopes would probably be needed.

[@gold4963]

I'm so stoked; I immediately bought this on Steam when I saw it was available! Been playing it for a few minutes, and it's so weird to wrap my brain around 4D! But knowing how 4D works, this is the experience I've always wanted! I look forward to putting time into this game. It's just so well-polished. Well done, CodeParade. Well done.

[@Wulfstrex]

*Putting* time into this game?

[@gold4963]

@@Wulfstrex Oh, that was unintentional, haha.

[@Typocat]

Just finished it, didnt expect that ending at all

[@mylegalname9852]

I am absolutely flabbergasted that with its soundtrack and a whole 4d physics engine, the game is less than 2 GB. I've only taken introductory courses in programming, but this seems like an incredible amount of storage optimization.

[@smallw2003]

Hearing him so enthusiastic and excited about his game is so cuuute

[@SourceEnginePlayer]

the best view imo is the "3d space" visual, seen here: 0:27, its very helpful understanding how you move.

[@Wulfstrex]

That's called “volume view“ to be precise, just like it has been mentioned in a previous devlog for the game. And the ability to switch out a visible axis for a hidden one like that at the push of a button is really helpful indeed.

[@TobyJWalter]

YESSSS, I remember when you first started this concept. Its amazing how far its come :) !!!

[@PunmasterSTP]

It's crazy it's actually out now!

[@GIRGHGH]

So cool to see this in it's entirety, you really knocked it out of the sandpit!

[@cyberneticsquid]

Knocked it out of the sandtesseract

[@itryen7632]

Marble mode? Did you say MARBLE MODE? Oh boy. I already knew Binyot was gonna lile this game. Now he's gonna LOVE it.

[@durnsidh6483]

Just got to the credits, the game is amazing! Just a word of caution, before you play the beyond levels, set your graphics to wireframes only. The triangle count increases dramatically in that section.

[@karthikkumarrao6502]

Cant wait for hyperbolic 4D golf

[@AdeonWriter]

after playing it, I think i know the spoiler. can't wait to hear you talk about it!

[@sluggy6074]

"I made game in 4d" Imagine being able to put that on a resume

[@marklundeberg7006]

Wow, this has surpassed expectations! Thanks codeparade. I just hit the Beyond level set at 1am here and my brain is way too melted to deal with this, hah.

[@brainyark]

Super glad you were able to get this out and actually released. What even is a Miegakure? Nobody knows.

[@roaringdragon2628]

I started out with a bit of trouble because the isoclinic compass wasn't explained; I assumed it was stereographic, and while I knew something was wrong, I still couldn't quite tell how it worked. Great job though! Waiting a bit to introduce the colored ghost projections was good I think, and once I turned that on I was able to navigate through four dimensions really well!

[@Calverin]

Congrats! Can't wait to play it

[@dorianjack]

YOU ALREADY KNOW IM ABOUT TO BUY SOME 4D GOLF MERCH 🔥🔥🔥

[@OwenWithAHammer]

heck yea dude, buying it right now, soooo hyped, thank you very much for making this!

[@Demalochis]

I'm so glad the reviews are positive, I was worried based on the videos, but I am humbled as it seems like you made sense of 4D somehow. Congratulations!

[@oh_tassos]

You're always incredible in how you manage to explore the limits of our perception of physical reality. First Hyperbolica, now 4D Gold, I'm excited to see what's coming next

[@rainytreecat3992]

Congratulations! I was watching someone play and it looks awesome. When the energy being talked about the person from two time dimensions, I thought "Hmm must be me." I would also suggest shading and highlights for the verticality in volume view

[@romannoodles5856]

It's really great, honestly

[@Inspirator_AG112]

It is cool to see mathematical concepts turned into video games.

[@jerrylou9285]

Finally, a game of the 4d dimension, and CodeParade's greatest masterpiece today!

[@creativecipher]

I can't believe I got to see two of your games release after seeing your devlogs, amazing work as always! :)

[@galvinvoltag]

Oh, God. Was that a top view?? That's so smart, I love it!

[@thepaintpad9817]

I'm reminded of a morally grey character I wrote who made VR goggles that made you capable of percieving four dimensions at once while you wore them.

[@somewhere_in_universe76]

It`s happening!🥳

[@floramew]

Oh, fantastic! I have no idea if I'll get very far in playing it, but I'll def try, at least. And thanks so so much for sharing what you have! It's been a fun ride. Excited for that next video & all future projects 👏👍

[@gambitdevs1234]

Will grab this soon as online multiplayer comes out, awesome stuff!

[@mikivanousek1030]

This game will make you a rich man. I hope. Whatever the initial sales, I think it is destined to become a classic that still sells in 20 years.

[@finn_the_dog]

Congratulations! Wish you the best.

[@DE23]

i feel like ive been struggling more with the golf part than the 4d part

[@craiggersify]

Nothing like successfully making it through a 4d maze two strokes under par and then spending four strokes putting it into the hole at the end

[@williamihardwick2871]

Congratulations! This is such an incredible accomplishment, and I am so happy that I have the pleasure of playing this beautiful game!

[@_general_error]

How could I miss this a month ago!?

[@cosmicvoidtree]

Congratulations on release! Definitely gonna play this soon. I’ve been here since the 5th Hyperbolica devlog, and it’s been really fun watching both games come to fruition. I played Hyperbolica on release and it was great (took me over a year to connect Desitter farms to Desitter space, that was a fun realization) and I’m gonna play 4d golf later today. Thank you for making these wonderful games and I hope you get to make more

Was following the development from the first video. Didn't expect it to be a 20 euro game. The author is free to price his game however he sees fit, of course, but to me the price feels very steep - I'll be waiting for sale.

[@SaltyIsaac]

Congrats on the release! I will be waiting for the VR version to play this, but that "hidden feature" has me intrigued!

[@FireyDeath4]

Ah, another amazing game that I'll end up playing in maybe a decade or a half

[@jblen]

Wooo! Hyperbolica was before I subbed so it felt like a project that was already mostly done, but this one I've followed through since the start (or at least, since youtube recommended it to me and then I caught up on what was uploaded so far), it's exciting to see it complete! And of course I'm excited to see whats next

[@ExperiMentalDon]

I loved Hyperbolica. It was simple, fun, a little trippy, and all around a joy to play. However, I've discovered that with this game, you woke up one day and chose violence.

[@kathyk3857]

Can't wait for the Irish lads to play this:D

[@Quate32]

yep just as I expected: this game is very fun and easy. The hardest part about 4D golf, for me, is the 2D golf aspect. I cannot for the life of me hit shots with the correct strength.
