Manifold Garden Dev Update #16 - Fixes, Music System and Design

[@YuhNinja]

This game is pure art. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you and everyone else who helped create this game. ❤️

[@integralogic]

Change comes from within

[@blackfadein3527]

Agree, this whole game is beautiful art

[@HockeyPlayer323]

Thank you for going above and beyond the current standard of games today. I think everything here agrees that this game shows how polished a game can be and how much a developer can push the limits of reality in 3D platforms. Honestly, a loss of words every time you push an update. Thank you for making this game....

[@WilliamChyr]

Really glad to hear that. Can't wait to get it out and for you to experience it.

[@dylanh333]

It's interesting going back and watching these videos, _after_ finishing the game. One thing that came to mind during and after playing the game was this: the level design just flows really well, but not in a way that makes it too easy, but in a way you look back and it makes complete sense.

[@MrLuigiBean1]

I'm doing the exact same thing! Just finished the game! ^0^

[@DEEWHTFLD]

God, this game is honestly turning out to be superb, I’m actually so hyped for the full release. I think my favourite thing about the game so far is the way you’ve implemented non-euclidean geometry. Watching these update videos and seeing you transition flawlessly between two rooms occupying similar space feels soo natural.

[@Zanthous_]

Seems like the polishing with music and sounds are really bringing the game to another level

[@blackfadein3527]

This is the coolest game I've ever played The scene is so beautiful that the eyes can't react

[@damiennah]

That stinger moment is so epic. Reminded me of Bladerunner.

[@WilliamChyr]

Bladerunner was actually a major source of inspiration for the music!

[@randyshineldeckerjr1357]

Nice video, very technical & educational, can’t wait to play!

[@thecodingfoundation]

I'm so looking forward to the release of this game, I also think that future developers can use Manifold Garden to see what to do and what not to do :D

[@WilliamChyr]

What not to do? Ouch ;)

[@blabit4983]

This is so cool. It's my dream to create a game this beautiful

[@LemonadeMouthSomebod]

Awesome all around

[@lukeszklarz9674]

This game is all about the edges

[@erikluo]

Can't wait to play it! Also, it would be so cool if there is a VR mode.

[@thecodingfoundation]

I'm pretty sure they've messed around with it before, but the gravity change is a problem, as that can be very disorienting.

[@erikluo]

@@thecodingfoundation Yeah, it can be. I think it is solvable tho. Teleporting whenever you change gravity could work. You can move with the gamepad after.

[@thecodingfoundation]

@@erikluo teleporting instead of seamlessly changing gravity field would take away some of the experience though D:

[@erikluo]

Tearzz yeah, but I really want to see all the structures in vr, would be so cool.

[@supermuffinbros4797]

The problem you have with the outline of the ps4 version happens in a lot of games when viewing things from far away. For example, in Minecraft, making a floor of bricks (a very noisy texture) and flying high up does the same effect.

[@SoulReflexions]

I was afraid that you might cut some content because you also said you wanted to change the formula of big open world then linear passage then big open world to not overwhelm the player. So I guess you managed to fit those big open world puzzles into linear rooms that are more accessible? Btw, the colors are coming together really nicely!

[@WilliamChyr]

Sort of. The problem with the previous version was that the large open worlds were just too frequent. In the new version, it's not so much that we've fit those spaces into linear rooms, but we've redesigned the overall pacing so that there are more mid-sized indoor areas that allow players to progress at a faster rate, in order to balance out the slower exploration of the larger spaces.

[@JodyGates]

This totally looks like a playable level of "SketchUp" (which obviously doesn't have playable levels, since it's a modeler.)

[@WilliamChyr]

For sure. Makes sense as both are inspired by architectural drawings.

[@maddingue]

(Patiently waiting to play this game like a cat would be before catching its target)

[@keyp2001]

Was there already the idea that you've can jump in the game and change the gravity based on the direction you're heading?

[@WilliamChyr]

Not sure what you mean here. Jump and change gravity based on direction you're heading? Like in mid-air?

[@keyp2001]

Yeah in mid-air for instance, (technically if you're on the floor you would slide to the wall in front of you, in a room i guess) Would be really cool i thought, i mean you wouldnt have to find an edge anymore if you'd found a spot you want to go.

[@cycologist71]

@@keyp2001 stop it! you're giving them ideas and now it'll be another 6 months!! ;)

[@ЗвездаАБВГДейка]

Is that game has maps limits? I mean, is it possible to find absolute edge of game?

[@WilliamChyr]

If you did find an absolute edge in the game, it'd be a bug.

[@ЗвездаАБВГДейка]

@@WilliamChyr Great🤗

[@numoru]

Have you checked out Marble Marcher?

[@WilliamChyr]

I have not played it, no.

[@numoru]

@@WilliamChyr You do it yet?
