it's weird but i honestly don't think this was a scam in the traditional sense.

He's one of those extreme narcissists who just know they'll be a CEO one day but find the idea of working for someone else completely beneath them So yeah, i think they honestly believed everything they said would be true eventually, neither just had the talent of the self-awareness to make it happen and were completely blindsided by the difficulty level they'd set for themselves

@@Lotus_Lenex Yeah, its easy for the woman to always come out looking innocent, because people love women, so they want to trust them. Not that I think she is lying so much, but she isnt innocent either. This story is real simple. Pretty girl gets hot looking at pretty boy, they have sex, the sex is good, hes funny and fun (of course, he still acts like a child, never growing up), so they think, lets date. They date for awhile, and then as a typical child, he makes a grand proposal where she would be embarassed to say no, because he always has big dreams. She is having fun and being a pretty girl, but after awhile, she gets tired of the same childishness that she fell in love with, and his hotness isnt enough anymore. She moves on to the next dick that gets her hot. Crude? Yes. Reality for girls like her? 100% I have no sympathy. Of course she was self serving. She pretty much admits that she saw all the red flags for a long time. But while it was fun, she was willing to ignore them. Relationships are often too shallow these days.

For anybody wondering, enum is short for enumerated. They represent values that you enumerate at compile time. This trades some flexibility for a potentially extreme performance boost. Due to the flexibility trade off, you cannot use enums for general networking stuff because you cannot enumerate all networking stuff at compile time.

[@slBrelaz]

Specifically "enumerate at compile time" means replace with a number at compile time not list one-by-one at compile time (since enumerate has both definitions and this sentance initially confused me). And although you can't network THROUGH enums you can send enums over the network as part of a network message. You can't usually use enums on their own as the entirety of a networked message (unless you have a very specific game like tic tac toe). In fact it's incredibly common for enums to be used in the header of network messages as a discriminator for different message types. However usually you require other values for the rest of the contents (floats for positions, strings for names, etc) for a significant portion of the networking message's contents.

[@Toberumono]

@@slBrelaz I was wondering if I should put in the network packet header clarification, but I left it out because I was worried it would confuse people. Clearly, I took the wrong route…

[@slBrelaz]

@@Toberumono Nah I just personally prefer writing too much information and responding to comments before I've watched the video

[@BankruptGreek]

@@slBrelaz are enums like serialized objects in Java for Android apps (to send them from one activity to the other) What I don't understand why is this needed since any data are bits and you can just transfer the bits like they are any other data type. Why does it matter if they are enums or serializable objects?

[@slBrelaz]

​@@BankruptGreek They're like constant variables, just grouped into a list based on relevance to each other and usually incrementing by 1 for each entry on the list. To elaborate on my earlier example about message types: enum MessageTypes { PlayerConnected, // 0 (when the first value is not assigned it defaults to 0) PlayerDisconnected, // 1 EntityMoved, // 2 CraftItem, // 3 etc... // each entry increments by 1 unless assigned to a specific value. } By default PlayerConnected would have a value of 0, PlayerDisconnected would have a value of 1 and so-on, each value in the enum that does not have a specific value set (using =) increments the value of the previous item by 1. You'd use these entries just like normal const variables, e.g. as so: if (Message.Header.Type === MessageTypes.PlayerConnected) { ///code } Enums are mostly used as an easy way to group related magic numbers or constant values together so that they can be used for comparisons without having to do (relatively slow) string comparisons while still being very readable. They're also used in optimised code because (as was said previously) they are replaced by their values by the compiler, so there's no variable lookup needed at runtime (this is not important to most programmers). They're completely unneeded (just like switch statements) as you can achieve the exact same functionality using preprocessor directives. They just exist to make a programmer's life easier and code neater.

[@aimeeinkling]

That poor girl! It's such a douche move to do that public proposal thing. Good for her for getting away from him. Garrison and Zach give that "poor little rich boy" vibe. I doubt they have ever really worked for anything in their lives. I doubt they'll try to get better at game development...because that would be work.

[@waltermh111]

Thats exactly what i got. The character type is so clear. I am not sure about Zach if he was a waiter (she didnt deny much) at least in what he showed. But we also dont know much about him, so this is my take. Gary? The chubbier guy with the rich uncle is the kid with the money. Zach is his friend who never grew up and always has big dreams. (hence his ridiculous proposal where she couldnt say no) Zach needs money, he wants to do something awesome that so many boys want to do, and his rich friend agrees. They get together to make the best game ever. Honestly Gary looks like he doesnt have a clue about much. Zach is the pretty boy that thinks hes real special because he always has girls chasing him and makes friends easy, so he can do no wrong. And he will do anything to make everybody love him (including lie) He has looks, charm, and no morals. On the way to a sociopath, but really I think just a spoiled child.

[@Androiski]

Gosh Callum, I forgot that the Dreamworld drama birthed your channel. Its been a while

[@metalcrow705]

thanks for the laughs, as a game dev myself i was laughing the whole time especially at the netcode being done through enums

[@kashmm]

Love ya lots Callum. Keep making such great content, you deserve the best man. It feels like you've been on KZbin way longer than a year, your videos are as entertaining and informative as some of the best KZbinrs. Thanks for doing what you do.

[@RavoxJ]

Been watching since the start, it has brought so many laughs and I am so glad you decided to stay. I absolutely love your content.

[@garypatterson2857]

Loved the wrap-up of Dreamworld. I didn't realise I'd started following this channel so early - I wasn't there at the start but I must have started watching a few videos in. Callum, if you're reading - Is the maker's workshop (or whatever you call it) still happening? That's a super-interesting project and one that would deserve a series of videos.

[@alfietheelf]

I have to say, the amount of class you've managed to keep during this whole thing is damn impressive. Out of everyone on KZbin, you are by far the person I respect the most - just on that alone. On top of that, I really have appreciated the way you break everything down for those of us that aren't game devs and don't have prior knowledge about these things, while still remaining interesting and informative. Just top notch, honestly. I'm really happy you're getting the credit and attention you deserve.

[@justherbirdy]

Dreamworld is now one of my favorite games ever, because it brought us Callum and his glorious takedowns of shoddy games, clueless or outright malevolent devs, and great explanations of how NOT to make a game.

[@Cat-wq9ib]

The best thing that came out of this whole thing was you, Callum. I love your videos and much love + support your way!

[@norricdaoc8746]

That mount spazzing out on crack thing was one of the FUNNIEST of your videos ! IMO you should end every one of your videos with 1 full minute of the crackhead mount shenagians, nobody would ever leave a video early again !

[@crunchyfrog555]

I was only thinking of this car crash a couple of days ago (while I was ill, funnily enough - make of that what you will). The fact it lasted this long was more than I expected. Though of course, as they bit off FAR more than they could chew, I guess if it were less public, they'd have dropped it far sooner.

[@sionbarzad5371]

you were weaker while ill, that's why you started thinking of this mental virus lol

[@crunchyfrog555]

@@sionbarzad5371 LOl, now you may have hit the nail on the head then.

@37:20 - A MAC address is only unique on the local network. Displaying a user's MAC address to others is only a security issue if an attacker is on the same local network. Using it to automatically create a username for login IS a security risk as the same MAC address(es) can exist on different networks without any technical problems.

[@staberinde9102]

As I really enjoy all of your content, I guess in a way I really am grateful for Dreamworld for giving their project a go. What a strange world that I'm thankful to these devs!

[@Slothman3]

I have to thank the Dreamworld Devs. Their escapades introduced me to Callum and by extension one of my favorite streamers/KZbinrs : Josh Dry Face.

[@Trikeification]

I think you broke my back with laughter, Callum.. Not sure If I'm supposed to sue or donate now xD Thanks for this wild ride!

[@Easyflux]

I immediately thought of the sims cursed patch notes when you mentioned "players will no longer be able to fly when sitting in a chair" xD Man, now I gotta watch that video again lol..

[@lushpaw1]

Im here because I just saw an ad on yt for Dreamworld that looked really good and I wanted to learn more about it.. needless to say I will not be joining the Dreamworld family. lol Thx for the info

[@ScarlettMaraxa]

I saw one a while ago, but that's probably because I've watched most of the videos covering the game lol.

[@Runk3lsmcdougal]

It's free , try it. If you have fun then you have fun.

[@riddic4444444]

This was a great recap! I watched all the content when it was still fresh but honestly hadnt heard anything for a while. thanks for filling me in. your content is really solid.

[@Heakz]

Them believing that a 3D game engine will only load exactly what you, the human can literally see on screen, implementing a fucking fog sphere with the intention to hide pop in that isn't happening because everything is just loaded but is now hidden by a layer of white which will actually decrease performance further is fucking hilarious.

[@AsgerJon]

I watch this two years on. So happy we got your youtube channel out of this!

[@gunrunnergaming]

Imagine buying that absolute smoke show a fake ring. LOL.

[@digitalunity]

How did I miss the thrilling conclusion to this disaster? How did I miss "Enums?" Oh boy... Enums will now be my response to anything I don't understand

[@marasmorgean5813]

an absolute fan of your content btw!!

[@mandisaplaylist]

29:45 The inflatable man in the background banging his head against the building is funnily resonating with what Skiazos has to say in that particular segment.

[@miklov]

Wise words at the end! And a very funny video overall, thank you!

[@strider8662]

To this day I am still mindblown that Zack got to date a girl that looks like that, a model at that!

[@seanrrr]

I actually never thought they were intentionally trying to scam. They really do seem like two guys who are way overconfident in their skills and thought they could pull this off.

[@twistsnakeanklesvids261]

Dunning-Kruger in full effect.

[@SoldMySoul45]

Oh, i felt they were. Right after they got the money for the project, they went on vacation!! Shady from the very beginning.

[@roycrownguard]

Right? Also with Zach's other failed crowdfunded projects, you just know he did it on purpose. Don't sympathize with this guy - he ran off with literal a shit ton of cash

[@domihase8148]

Tactical comment for the algotythm. Nice video, Callum. I'm always laughing when you tell Josh what they messed up in Dream World again in your Tangent Tavern episodes. 😂😂

[@AngelMass]

Really it was a marvelous time watching this story unfold in real time. Good times.

[@patrickmuhwheeney6518]

Excellent, as always! Thanks!

[@BatJeff]

"sit tight for that gorgeous shit show." this statement could have just encapsulated Dreamworld as a whole tbh

[@Nochit]

We Looked at "The Death of DreamWorld" . ... Now I'm waiting for "The Rise of NightmareWorld"

We're still working super hard on NightmareWorld for you all! - Lore Team member :D x

He gets hit by a taxi while wearing earbuds, so the dude invents the kind of useless gadget found in 3AM infomercials (or late-90s Sharper Image), puts together a Kickstarter campaign to get it funded and even produces a trailer for it. Instead of, say, wearing only one earbud.

[@blakestormcrow6275]

I wonder how deaf people manage to cross roads safely without using his amazing device?

Thanks for keeping us updated with this insanity that is DW! :D
