It's actually so interesting to watch this game grow from "4d minecraft" to a genuinely compelling and unique game that takes full advantage of its concept.

How is 4D Miner 4D Minecraft? It lacks many features that Minecraft has, such as hunger, fall damage, liquids, suffocation, blocks that fall, dimensions in the sci-fi sense, the ability to grow plants or breed mobs, advancements, structures, losing your inventory and spawning at spawn or your bed when you die, compasses, redstone and explosions. Besides, I think there might actually be Minecraft mods that let you play in a 4D world, or at least developing such mods may be possible. But people calling 4D Miner, a game that is far simpler than Minecraft, "4D Minecraft" is making it harder to find such mods. :(

[@romulo2714]

​@@magentamonster Rome wasn't built in a day, and minecraft as is barely runs in some computers without performance mods, making it 4D would be impractical to say the least

Making the player parts voxels is Really smart

[@lechking941]

it also helps deal with lag i say as your voxles are only as visable as a slice is meaning to you only the outside would be seeable if we ever get 3ed person *god thats gonna be trippy* but to others only what they can see is shown. so both render distance and otherthings

The fact that every skin isn't an empty shell but actually an anatomically correct lifeform is genius (although it will freak out everyone). Designing a whole body as if you are a god of the 4th dimension, although it takes more effort, is an awesome idea. Usually if you're showing insides it's only done for horror and gore purposes but here horror isn't the main intention, it's rather a byproduct of being in one less dimension which inherently is scary.

[@StickmanCorp]

Well we're only one step away from an horror setting. You can see someone's inside not because of a 4d-induced x-ray vision, but because their insides are _literally_ exposed to the outside world. Try not to think too hard about the implications, they're not pretty...

Why does this have so little attention this is legitimately groundbreaking in the world of video games

[@NeostormXLMAX]

Needs more comments for the algorithm

[@VulpineCortex]

it's not really groundbreaking, such concept games were around for a while and a 4th dimension is confusing and mechanically barren in this case. it's complex but not mechanically interesting as it's based upon a flawed framework of a minecraft clone. I would love to see more horror games use the inherent confusion of the 4th dimension but in case of a building / exploration game it only hinders the core mechanics as you can't see the entirety of a structure and the render distance has to be reduced. I'm leaning more towards usage of 2 or 2.5d for games, doing 3.5 (interaction with the 4th dimension from 3d pov) is rather hard to do well, both technically, and mechanically.

[@Noxielle]

I can see why it isn’t as popular. Humans like being in control, being comfortable. The idea of not only an extra dimension(s) existing and existing within said dimension(s) is nearly impossible to understand and comprehend and requires much more thinking for a game plan like Minecraft. It also adds an extra layer of difficulty with other beings being able to move unseen within the 4th dimension as well as 4th dimension objects falling unseen. Humans like to be comfortable in their 3rd dimension, simple answer. It definitely is ground breaking and is an amazing idea, and I’m definitely gonna give it a try, but I can see why it’s popular, not everyone is well versed with even simple things like String-Theory.

[@JonBrase]

Might be difficult to implement, but it would be interesting to be able to cover (hyper)surfaces of objects in "worldpaper", a wallpaper type of item that contains a 3D subworld, in order to create "And he Built a Crooked House" type scenarios. You walk through a door, and find you can no longer rotate in 4D. You are staring down a short hallway with a door at the other end. You close the door behind you and walk to the other end of the hallway. You open that door and the hallway continues, the next doorway is open, and you see yourself standing in front of it. Startled, you close the door, and then open it again. Instead of the hallway, you see an outdoor scene you don't recognize. You step outside, and find you can rotate in 4D again. You do so, and find that you're in about the same spot as you were before you walked through the first door, but your 3D slice has rotated 90 degrees. It turns out that the hallway is worldpaper wrapped around the base of a 4D pillar. When you're inside, light and objects go around 4D corners, following the worldpaper in what appear to be straight lines from the inside.

[@itsMeKvman]

I read that story!

[@ablobofgarbage]

you could add a feature where you can turn by a fixed angle in 4d space, like in some vr games where you can snap turn by 15 degrees, i feel like having fixed turning might make it easier to comprehend the 4d world since you could quickly go back and forth between two similar slices of the world.

@@coreblaster6809 having a 4D game makes that significantly more difficult.

And then making multiplayer work well within that rendering engine on top of all the other multiplayer difficulties… honestly I’m surprised they got this working as quickly as they did.

[@coreblaster6809]

@TheOnlyGhxst Multiplayer is always ridiculously hard and unintuitive when it comes to making games, it's just easier with pre-existing engines because you can just borrow code that's been done before I doubt the challenges involving 4D compare to the challenges of just implementing multiplayer for a custom rendering engine, regardless of dimensionality

[@TheOnlyGhxst]

@@coreblaster6809 well that was my point, 4D games require custom rendering engines and often custom physics engine as well, which adds a lot of difficulty when implementing multiplayer, as you said.

[@Avaruusmurkku]

They would if you were to enter into a 4D space. Additional spatial dimensions are such an underutilized concept in fiction. Pure nightmare fuel if some 4D being would kidnap someone into their realm and they just spill like a glass of water while their rigid parts just flop like a flaccid rubber band.

[@awsomebot1]

our volume in 4d would be zero due to one of our dimensions having zero width. if we ignore this, then yeah we'd spill out in 4d and so would a 2d being in 3d space. in 4d miner the player is confined to a 3d 'plane' so it wouldn't be an issue though

[@digiquo8143]

It'd be more catastrophic than that. Atoms, as we know them, are only 3 dimensional. So if you pushed an atom halfway across the 4-dimensional barrier, you've basically split the atom, which is an atomic explosion. 3D matter is a walking bomb to 4-dimensional forces.

[@Avaruusmurkku]

@@digiquo8143 Not sure that applies. Strong nuclear force should still apply even in 4-D space, so if you wanted to split the atom you would have to actually separate nuclei by forcing them away from each other instead of just transitioning them to the 4-D space. This is assuming of course that atomic nuclei, 3-D particles can even exist in 4-D space as now they too are completely open on two axis.

[@digiquo8143]

@@Avaruusmurkku That's what I mean. If 3D matter possessed a "conventional" 4th dimension, movement across 4D space would be trivial and 3D bonds would hold across this dimension because they are also unioned across the 4th dimension, not just a 3D slice of it. Since 3-dimensional matter does not demonstrate it can move in a 4th physical dimension, it stands to reason 3-dimensional chemical and atomic bonds will not be maintained if the molecules or atoms are pushed or pulled by a 4th dimensional force.

One thing I can’t stop thinking about is the way a theoretical 2D being would actually see the world around him. In your example you show him in a 2D world, but from the perspective of the third dimension, from his perspective, he would see the world as a 1 dimensional line around him. First person Mario is a good example of this, the player sees things he can’t. So now imagine a two dimensional being in a 3d world from his one dimensional perspective… it would be extremely difficult to understand it and navigate it. Puts into perspective (pun intended) how hard it will be for us to comprehend a 4d environment with only a 2 dimensional point of view even with our understanding of 3 dimensions.

I've always been fascinated by 4D navigation! The visual of Frank moving through 2D slices of a 3D world got me thinking though, why limit 4D movement just to rotation? It seems like it would be super convenient to be able to strafe sideways into a parallel 3D plane. Along with WASD for movement, Q and E could be used to move "hyper-left" and "hyper-right". The 4D glasses could also have a directional "smear" effect to indicate whether a target is to your hyper-left, or your hyper-right. This would make it easier to strafe or rotate to face a target.

This is like something I would have dreamed of as a kid, my sister was a real nerd for the 4th spacial dimension, and I read Flatland, so I have known about the concept for a long time and I have always been fascinated thinking about the concept and what 4d objects might look like. Now, thanks to you and to computers, we can know an approximation of what it might be like to explore a 4d space, even with our limited perspective. It's quite exciting. I really believe you have created something spectacular and it should be shared everywhere.

If you see this, when you implement a sound redesign you could have player sound become more static sounding the further orientated, they are from your position in 4D space. This way you could potentially orientate (4th dimensionally rotate) based on how clearly you hear them like tuning to a radio station.

[@tbotalpha8133]

No idea how hard this would be to implement, but have you considered allowing players to change which axes their view-point operates on? What if instead of viewing XYZ, players could choose to view XYW, visualizing changes along the 4th dimension on-screen in place of visualizing depth in 3D space?

[@axmoylotl]

How scalable is the current multiplayer? I wonder because games like minecraft have very unoptimized multiplayer that lags out really quickly. I wonder if this games multiplayer is able to handle more players/features on future hardware. (so like not running on a single core and stuff like that). Imagine a 100 player anarchy server in this game.

4d miner skins can just be bodies, not skins anymore… although, we’re projecting a 3D slice onto an infinitely thin 4d plane, so it would be “flat” to 4d creatures and I suppose would still be “skins” of a 4d object

[@SacsachCCABP]

Lavacasting in 4D4T: “Haha, I’ve completely destroyed your storage unit! There’s nothing on this place but pure cobblestone!” *rotates in the 4th dimension, revealing a village twice the size* “what”

[@Xypthian]

where is bro

[@Captain_obvious4]

Somewhere in the fourth dimension

[@iSchmidty13]

I wonder if this game being available will eventually give us the first person to have a truly intuitive understanding of 4D space Able to picture the greater 4D space just as easily as we can imagine the 3D space around Frank

[@theneighborhoodnoob]

I really hope you’re able to continue this game it’s actually so sick dude

[@MoeE3999]

Any updates?

[@cryingisthenosebleedoftheh790]

I cant express much my little nerd brain loves this, the idea of a game in 4d where you are 3d is so mind-blowingly cool. plus the 4d sphere spiders is "chefs kiss"

[@Strategy_gameR-bm3hb]

the Klein bottle in the bottom left corner shows how much thought has already gone into this

[@YourAverageRock]

THIS GAME HAS 40 MINORS!?

[@TheRenofox]

This game could really use some 4d engineering challenges. Build watertight pipes and containers to brew potions in, follow complex instructions to build 4d structures/antennas/machines to advance the story or gain base utilities, and so on.

[@BBQbaconBURGER-lv2gn]

This is sick as hell. If this game eventually comes out as a full thing on console or PC I would 100% buy it.

[@caliperstorm8343]

This is amazing! The 3D skin system is especially interesting. Does pvp do more damage if you attack the inside of another player?

[@soisaus564]

DONT DISSECT FRANK!!

[@ohheybudbud]

somebody appearing from the 4th dimension only partially sounds like some supernatural ghost shit

[@1BP6]

I dont think there is one person on earth who is able to understand and visualize things in 4d in their brain, but anyone's brain is adaptable enough so that even one little glimpse of a 4d world will allow your brain to visualize anything in 4d

[@lucasklokov8728]

Can't wait to see Dream speedrun 4d Miner.

[@utkanbaskadem7904]

What happened to this game? Is the development still going on?

[@dzleeyt]

this reminds me of a fps shooter i had early access to way back in 2016, players would spawn in a team of 2, in one world. there were 2 or 4 teams, each players had a mirror or something that allowed worlds to mesh together, a third of each teams matter would show in opposite teams worlds

[@transyuri4534]

The concept of a 3d creature being able to explore a 4d space is so cool to me I made a DND monster based on it.

[@user-dq9nx7ut3c]

5D when

[@averagemusicenjoyer4043]

4d miner hacks would be insane, imagine teleporting to everybody in the 4th dimension and instantly killing them without them even being able to react.

[@Mayorfoxia82]

Sounds boring, like something someone with no life would do

[@averagemusicenjoyer4043]

@@Mayorfoxia82 it's what people on anarchy servers do?! What the server in the video was, I'm not saying I like hacking or that it's fun if you're the only one, but if it's well balanced like in 2b2t then it could actually be an interesting form of PvP, especially in 4d.

[@kan807]

It would be so cool to see modders make something akin to minecraft's thaumcraft mod in 4d, just the thought of complicated mechanisms and rituals being constructed in 4d is both mind boggling and interesting

[@TheJohtunnBandit]

Ooh, sounds you can only hear while aligned to the right slice would be amazing, as you could leave sonic clues around the map

[@aiiiia9971]

Dude, this is groundbreaking, I don't think you realize how groundbreaking this is. You have made it possible to explore 4 dimsensions. You have created an experience that is so multifaceted that boundless opportunities for gameplay have been born and can be expanded upon. Entire new genres of games can be born of this concept. This is insane dude.

[@levoyant1754]

Actually, i think you're also helping the research about the 4d by illustrate it, this game is a excellent example of

[@Yani_Ya]

I'm not sure exactly how the Alidade works but wouldn't it be cool for it to display a value of rotation, copy yours when you right click it and when you left click it you apply its value to your view

[@zcwte]

“When you rotate your 3D slice of the world, you’ll see things appear in front of you that you couldn’t see before, even though they were next to you the whole time” is a scary sentence 😭

[@TRDiscordian]

Wicked cool stuff dude. I'd really love to hear more from you
