Honest to god how long have these people been playing video games. It's been a long ass time.

I love that Simon's first interest is how do you run away and how fast can you do said running away. A signature Simon move.

[@jofi4580]

When Appsro threw the meat through the time rift it cracked me up thinking of someone randomly getting hit with a chunk of flying meat.

[@StankMau]

Lmaooo yesss!!! 🤣😂🤣 Reminded me of an early Family Guy episode where somehow Meg’s butt became a portal and Peter hits golfballs through that hit Louis on the other side!!! 😭😭 (then Peter continues to stick his head through that pops out of Megs butt and he says the classic line, “Geeee! Must’ve taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque!!”) 😂🤦🏻‍♂️😂

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

Honestly this is the best kind of content. No plan, minimal editing, just four friends getting together to try out a new game for 20-30 min

[@frillen5834]

Thank you for the laughs guys, it was a fun ½ hour with lots of laughter, and also thank you for being one of the only youtubers who saw through the bullshit in this asset flip of a demo 😁 I spent 4-5 hours playing through all content in this demo and while it looked good in many aspects, I also had a sneaking suspicion that a single dev probably didn't make much of this, and from what I have heard from others, he didn't! All maps are basically UE5 store assets thrown together without changing or adding much to them, no world building or anything, just slammed a bunch of demo maps together in this, survival mechanics and crafting is also just very basic UE5 assets, not sure if he did much change other than messing a bit with some of the build-in settings from these assets... In other words it feels and plays like an asset flip game, the looks of them are good in some places, but it is not done by the hands of a single dev, also his history on steam shows 2-3 games being developed per year... Yeah true game development isn't that easy or fast, but still so many people can't see it and are willing to throw 20-30$ towards asset flips like these 😂

[@KurNorock]

Yes, dogs absolutely have lips. The part that sags is the cheek. And the reason people used to think t-rex didn't have lips was because they originally thought dinosaurs were all giant sluggish lizards living in swamps, like crocodiles, which do not have lips.

[@morrowdisca7554]

Simon needs to watch Red Dwarf, they did the photo time travel thing but you couldn't leave the picture.

I was hoping to see y'all play this 🍻

[@evanprendergast3464]

Cheers! 🍻

[@chronicle1986]

This game reminds me of that short story, A Sound of Thunder. Also while not a survival game, there is one where you build something in the past and get to see how it changes things in the future. Dark Cloud 2/Dark Chronicle.

[@petemahaffey1559]

If you get thirsty, you have to go over to the river and punch the water. And if you want to change time, You have to time travel and punch the future. 😂😂😂

[@MandaPanda3100]

I love that the main way of killing dinos in this game is just chucking rocks at them until they fall over.

[@JJtoob]

I really liked this lol, seemed like a funny game for you guys.

[@preditora]

[@Tonalberry]

They need to play the Wizard With a Gun demo next, and see if they like it. Demo only has singleplayer, but the full game will include multiplayer, and I bet at least some of the guys would find it fun, at least for a Dumpster vid.

[@bretcameron9116]

Simon's photograph time travel idea is the plot of a book series I read maybe twenty years ago. I can't remember the title for the life of me, and it is aimed at middle-schoolers, but the idea is that the kids have this time travel device that they strap to their back, and they travel to historical events by using the attached pen to poke at photographs.

[@c4scompsmith]

@4:20 Simon is remembering a movie called jumper where someone could teleport with the help of pictures.

[@Scott-xs8hs]

Actually I think he could be more accurately remembering an episode of Red Dwarf, Season 3 Episode 5 "Timeslides". Where they time travel using photos.

[@Thena_the_Grey]

Prince of Persia did what Neebs was looking for in a game. Not a survival game, obviously, but you had to go back in time to change things in the future to get through levels etc.

[@TheTexasStranger]

Sands of Time was ahead of its time

[@Thena_the_Grey]

@@TheTexasStranger I'll admit I had Two Thrones in my head when I wrote this, but the whole series was founded on that concept!

[@TheTexasStranger]

@Chris Peterson this is true. I forgot that the mechanic was in Two Thrones. Out of the trilogy it's the one I played the least unfortunately.

[@zealstarwind]

Time travel through pictures is literally talking about Myst. So many forget about that amazing game.

[@25MartyDK]

This game looks like an excellent example of why clear tutorial steps are important. Mountains are pretty and all but that doesn't really hold up when you're starving because you don't know how to forage for berries.

[@joshuazane3210]

[@angrytvrobot6130]

I just watched the demo video for this on Steam. It is pretty ambitious. They barely even got close to scratching the surface here.

[@Zombiehunter521]

Simon: Your photograph time travel game sort of exists in movie form. There was a movie back in the 90s called the stamp traveler. A kid traveled into the images on stamps. XD

[@ultraforwarden4078]

Simon's time travel idea intrigues me. If you time travel through the photo, that means you would have to take a photo of where you want to return. Worst case you lose it and are stuck in the past.

Chronotrigger had it that if you opened a chest in the past it would still be unlocked in the future. If you didn't loot the item, it would actually be upgraded.

[@trh616]

the lips trex issue is that if they dont have lips their teeth would be showing all the time but the only animals that have teeth showing all the time are found in the water (or around). It's because having lips is how animals keep their teeth moist which protects the teeth, unlike sharks that can have their teeth hanging out all the time. something like that

[@SquirrelGamez]

I love that something as high-tech as a time-travel device that can be hand-carried can be repaired with a bunch of rocks. This game does look very pretty though, Backseat Drivers. I'm into it.

[@MrOsmodeus]

time travel mechanics could work in survival games. you could level up your time skipping skills to go further back and forwards. go as far back as possible to plant seeds so you can skip ahead and harvest them. if someone else is in between the time periods they'd see the plant partially grown suddenly spring into existence and could mess with you by destroying it. it'd need some hard time travel rules though. you couldn't do something that retroactively undid something somebody already profited from. like if person A harvests a rock, person B couldn't harvest the same rock in a previous time pocket to remove the resources from person A. that's how it should work but that would require a programming language that actually can control time. you'd have to accept each time pocket was independently resourced with it's own respawn timers

Time travel through photographs... Red Dwarf episode "Time slides"

[@PREPFORIT]

[@mrknobbs4730]

So regarding the T Rex lips. Most popular depictions of T Rex depict it with exposed teeth like crocodiles but Crocodiles have like significant wear and tear from being constantly exposed to the elements. T Rex teeth don't have the wear and tear which suggests they're teeth are covered like moniter lizards.

[@myself-pv9sn]

neebs talking about the time travel game reminded me of "singularity" (and even though i used to have an old disk on console a LONG time ago i couldn't buy a digital copy of because of stupid Australian rules or something) that a random guy from America bought for me on steam when i posted a comment about it (shoutout to Vicarious)

What we need is an elder scrolls story progression and character building, with ark survival and multiplayer, with The Isle dinosaur animation and audio, mixed with Amnesia/Soma or Alien Isolation horror ambience. With time travel eras unlockable through progression for free roam once unlocked.

[@johnaville23]

Video starts up, map opens....ok, looks like some devs who have worked on Ark 2 threw this together as a demo to show to the boss. Now someone got ahold of it and watch.... it'll be the next "The Isle". Or a real good platform for a human vs dinos game. I would like a good hunter game where you can be a human or a dino. Not just mercs and meat eaters but plant eating dinos that have to survive. Throw it all in there.
