An Eye-Melting Ray-Traced Non-Euclidean Psychedelic Sci-Fi Odyssey! - World Annihilation Operations

it's not really as much a game as it is an experience. really cool

feels like someone decided to make a modern playable remaster of 90's PC screensavers

"2001" x "Interstellar" x "The Mind's Eye" vs "The Doors of Perception". Candy for the eyes and ears. Trippy.

[@Sirmrmeowmeow]

Non-Euclidean dimensions are amazing. It’s so strange we don’t see more games using them- if only for puzzles and abstract Relativity -esque environments 😮😊

[@GlupShiddo]

What is non-Euclidean pls?

[@TuriGamer]

I think its pretty funny that people still keep throwing that term around even though its the wrong one Dont ask me what the proper term was I forgot years ago and dont care enough to look it back up lmfao

[@Sirmrmeowmeow]

​@@GlupShiddo Are you looking for a high level answer, because I don't have that sorry lol Euclidean space refers to his work in Elements; the basic stuff like angles of a triangle add to 180 and rays with the same angle are "parallel". In non-euclidean space -ie hyperbolic space or elliptical space or other spatial geometries... anything not flat i guess - that doesn't hold true. So angles get weird, and thus so does the mapping of space. We use angles with the spatial co-ordinates to map space onto shapes. That's about all I know sorry >

reminds me of those CG tech demos they made in the 90s

[@cannibalbunny]

Love the Oingo Boingo pic

[@electricjellyfish375]

That's so awesome that you remember those. It kind of reminds me of those school folders from the 90s that had images of early computer animation on them, but animated.

The horizontal FOV is so high that it makes it very difficult to enjoy these videos on a television screen. Please consider recording at 75/80° depending on the game engine.

[@marcdwonn9772]

I disagree - i'm sitting in front of a 38" gaming monitor and FOV it is just right.

turn the ray tracing down for what?! sick sounds too.

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

9:12 it would be funny if you'd accidentally step on the button and closed the door again

[@grimgrahamch.4157]

While this is a very unique and interesting game, the environments look very lacking. The colors are nice, but they're very flat. It's hard to describe, but it's as though the walls have no finer detail to them just color and reflection and nothing else. It all looks so mute in a strange way.

It's cool I guess, but this doesn't really look like it should absolutely require raytracing. I don't see much here that can't be done with traditional methods at much less of a GPU cost.

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Hi! I don't really know enough about ray-tracing to comment on that, but it seems like the ray-tracing was an integral part of the game. Apparently the dev made a creation tool specifically for the game - "a ray-traced space manipulation tool for the Unity engine".

[@pbjandahighfive]

@Jesse Aidyn Don't get me wrong, I think that what you've made here is interesting and I'm not saying recreating this with traditional techniques would render a 1:1 copy, there would certainly need to be some shortcuts and fakery, but that the game could be reasonably approximated with traditional tech. My issue is with the whole concept of "raytracing-enabled GPU ONLY" games. For a one-off short demo to be entirely focused on the tech it's fine, but I will be pretty dismayed if the entire industry over time begins to completely neglect traditional techniques and forces the purchase of raytracing-capable GPUs onto the population total in order to be able to play at all. I like raytracing, I personally have a 4090, I get it, I just think that it should continue to feature as an additional graphical option for those who have access to the tech without leaving those without access to the tech without any options to play. Just look at the recently released Steam hardware polling results; the vast majority of people still don't have a raytracing-capable GPU of even the lowest end available. The majority of people are still using GPUs that are 7+ years old.

It really irks me that the term Non-Euclidean is used wrongly here. it's supposed to describe a type of geometry where parallel lines diverge. Not fancy portal tricks, shaders or cheeky teleports.
