11:18 ah yes, the elusive semi-square, definitely not to be confused with a rectangle😂

[@saoirsedeltufo7436]

In fairness a semi-square is a very specific type of rectangle (one with length 2x its width), just like a square itself is a specific type of rectangle!

I absolutely lost it when he zoomed out and it was just a universe, game looks stunning

[@rpgaholic8202]

The first game was infinite too, but it was a constant floor, and you had only solid shapez with all 4 quadrants. Orientation also mattered in that game on shape goal, so lots of improvements in the sequel. Too bad he didn't get to the paint part, because as someone following the development, the paint is treated as a liquid in this game and requires pipes instead of belts.

[@GrassXMagnum]

@@rpgaholic8202 omg that's rad. I love when games include fluids / fluid dynamics

[@dwightyoung2291]

@@GrassXMagnumunfortunately right now fluids are a bit jank so the best way to deal with them is to pack it into a cube and unpack it at the destination and it cannot be transported between platforms in liquid form either

I remember watching the original soooo long ago! Can’t believe it’s been that long. Thanks for the nostalgia Matt!

[@RealCivilEngineerGaming]

That was my first ever sponsored video! They didn't sponsor me this time 😢

[@cullanrocks2]

@@RealCivilEngineerGamingI was wondering why we didn’t see any factory areas that had efficiently shaped layouts but now it makes sense. Gotta save the strongest shape for the sponsors.

[@RealCivilEngineerGaming]

​@@cullanrocks2 yep, gotta pay if you want your game played truly efficiently 😂

So long ago! OMG. Thinking back to the pandemic years... When I first found RCE...

[@ivansu9620]

SAMEEEE

[@rpgaholic8202]

As someone who bought Shapez because of your original video, glad you're looking at the sequel, but it's just making me want to play the game because the first one was so addicting. The figuring out "how do I make this shape" and then later "how do I optimize so that my belts are always full."

[@MalfunctionNeo]

And not to forget, how do I make this modular so I can expand it as I unlock more speed upgrades :)

[@rpgaholic8202]

@@MalfunctionNeo of course, how could I forget that. Also, now that I've played most of the demo, it looks like paint might be only in the full game. The first seed number I tried did not have a decent amount of blue circle pieces to work on the tier 3 blueprint shape (or the 5 point one, if you prefer).

[@VIP-ry6vv]

I need this so badly that I'm quivering with desire. I'm absolutely amazed by all the little design touches, like the bumpers on the belts.

[@user-px3ub8kl6n]

Its a Free Demo on Steam!, You May Get It!

[@joshuaguenin9507]

demo is available

[@Smartplatinum-bu8kb]

Demo is free but the full game will be priced when it’s released

[@jeffreyblack666]

I like how as the wonderful architect, you unlock the cutter which cuts a piece in 2, allowing you to easily double your semicircle production by not wasting the half which is currently being destroyed, but you instead decide to just add another wasteful one disposing of half.

[@LikeTheLetter]

i thought was the only one that noticed 😂

[@YeahBoi99966]

I had a stroke reading your comment

[@a13w1]

I do like how the belts have been done and how easy it looks like to change when you need to redesign/ increase production

[@martonnagy8939]

The original game was the first one I tried out because of you.

[@tigrecito48]

remember that movie about the plane crash full of escaped squares and circles? i think it was called Con veyair

[@thejester-king4135]

Should probably re-tool your earlier steps to use cutters instead of destroyers and minimize losses

[@slayersentience666]

Yeah, he seems to always miss at least one very annoying aspect 😂

[@soupwizard]

@@slayersentience666 I'm giving him a pass since it's easy to get mono-focused when playing. Then later he'll be scrolling around, look at it, and go "jfc, I can 2x the speed of this line easily!"

[@slayersentience666]

@@soupwizard yeah and it's part of his charm tbh. I've picked up number of good games thanks to him thinking "I liked his ideas, but I think I can maybe improve it a bit". I don't have much time to game anymore so it's refreshing instead of just pro-gamers I find.

I'm surprised you haven't tried to create the strongest conveyor belt system yet. You're slacking ;) I loved the original Shapez, and went completely nuts making an automated everything machine with added shapes and colours mods, so it will be crazy to see what we can accomplish with multiple layers! Hope we see more of this series

[@glitchedjson4042]

this seems so extremely polished, such a massive jump from the first shapez game I was left in awe for the entire video

Thank you so much for describing what's on the screen for the visually impaired. Good tower youtuber!

[@farshnuke]

This is like when Creeper World 4 came out. You're like but does it really need to be 3d and then you see it and it's great.

[@krathkacalle]

Really loved Shapez, and still play It (a little bit less since I built a "Build Everything Machines) and I can't wait to play part 2!!!

[@sebastiannarvaez1331]

I really like this video, the game looks so easy and complicated at the same time. I hope you make a series of this game when the full game is available to play.

[@RandomBubble]

I sleep to your videos… HOLD UP… but I really find it impressive how high quality your videos are and how consistent you are with uploading. Love the content.

[@dane2080]

YES! SHAY-PEZ! Love all your content. I was just thinking back to some of your old videos, I still use a dad joke you told on a stream about the sun going to college 😂😂😂

You absolutely know I put down my work and went to download the demo. I love a good conveyor belt game!

the original game had me hooked, made it all the way to the ultimate goal with wires and automation, designing and building an increasingly efficient Make Anything Machine (MAM), crippling my computer on many occasions, cant wait to get enough time to do it again but in 3d!!

[@BelacDarkstorm]

I loved the first Shapez and have been eagerly waiting fornthis since it was announced. I can't wait to play it.

Your Shapez video was one of the first I watched of yours. Instantly subbed and have watched all videos ever since! Also played Shapez for a hundred hours, lol. Very excited about Shapez 2.

[@rodepet]

This looks incredible!! I can't wait to have a pc on which I can download again!!!!

[@Suckynewb]

Something very cool I noticed that I don't know of hardly any other factory game has done, you can make an elevator as a corner piece. You can actually have the shape at a block at 1 level and leave and another, in ANY direction. Including the direction it came. I don't know what instances would call for it to double-back, but it's cool what you can fit into 1 tile. Edit: Satisfactory comes to mind for elevators, but I don't know if those allow 90 direction changes, or if it's just continue or reverse.

[@lukepoot347]

The grime MC saying "quick maths" was a nice touch.

[@Charlio4444]

I'd love to see you do the trickier shapes at the end of the demo

[@burak1382]

I played the first one, even with the puzzle dlc. I'm really looking forward to this one! As a member of the discord server I have access to the demo as well, but I haven't played it yet. Don't wanna ruin my first impression. But it already looks much much better than some older demo that I actually looked into!

[@aoeuable]

I can tell you exactly what the camera angle thing is about: Frustum culling, or rather the absence of it because they couldn't be bothered (at least for the demo), instead they cull geometry in the most simple way possible: If it's not on the current grid, don't draw it. Works if and only if you have a limit on how shallow the angle can get or you'd spoil the illusion. I see fog or heavy haze in this game's future because you really don't want to draw far away stuff, serves no purpose.

[@nathanc6443]

i bet there would be around 4 episodes of this so maybe 3 4 or 5

[@Kessik8]

Shapez (1) was great, but that one looks amazing. So excited

[@soupwizard]

I loved Shapez 1! I hope Shapez 2 is awesome! Edit: the 3d version of stacker is much nicer to use than the 2d version. Lots of nice improvements, like no more need for mergers since dragging a conveyor onto another conveyor auto-creates a merge. Can't wait.

[@matthewroeder3903]

Please do a long series on this

Up here... then down there... then cutter here... then rotator here... maybe a stacker here... then finally, we end up with the shape we want! And he asks us if we're confused or not.🤣

[@xXAceHydroDudeXx]

Please don’t stop playing this Matt

[@IceWolF963]

14:09 isnt this better than normal cutting because you dont loose half of the piece or is it just for stacked pieces? 14:42 you do realize that you split them in two directions right (one for the portal and one for stacking)?

[@freerobux49]

the cutter that preserves the other piece and the one that deletes it both have their own use cases. i would use the one that deletes the piece that was cut off if i dont need that piece for anything else
