without actually showing the error it returned, there's no way for me to diagnose or fix a crash, since the game has never crashed for me. if it happened because of vram or driver issues from running from opengl3, well, I'm sorry but the game is nearly as optimized as it can be. Just as 3D is more expensive to render than 2D, 4D is more expensive to render than 3D, so you should adjust your expectations accordingly. That being said, I'll try my best to make the game faster. No promises though.

Adding windowed and non ground locked flying modes are good ideas.

I'm not gonna make a rasterizer for the game lmao. That would make mirrors and shadows impossible and would require way more work, and would make chunk loading abysmally slow (see 4D miner), and most of the renderers would be impossible or slower too. It would basically be two different games with different feature sets.

It is now available for free!

There is, it's just currently in the patreon version only right now.

That's awesome

did you make it 4D?

I didn't anticipate that a game about counting could be so difficult lol

All the pigs in this game deserve to be turned into bacon

Hi, if you use godot-4d I recommend only using Node4Ds, and then also Camera4Ds and MeshInstance4Ds if you wanna use the wireframe renderer, otherwise put your own renderer on top.

The engine has lots of features that are documented as if they work or are feature complete, but actually aren't (this wasn't me!!)

Using godot-4d you also definitely want these files: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-kHaD34z6hqWL716Yw5iGoppf1L562XB
it's just a bunch of math and 4D model utilities I've thrown haphazardly into two code files over the years. Not super great, but it's a good starting point to making 4D models from code, as there's no 4D model editor yet.

I made the repo public so you can still check that out if you want, not sure why it wasn't already public, I'll add it to the description after making this comment: https://github.com/Z53-INCOMING/Lobby-4D

Lastly, this webpage I wrote may be of interest to you: https://fifty-third-dimension.neocities.org/lobby-4d

Edit: almost forgot the most important thing, if you want more help join the godot dimensions discord server, where I and other people who worked on godot-4d can give real time help: https://discord.gg/4vbN8wPyKD

Giving them the benefit of the doubt I think they might have been referring to the art style

I didn't know that pico games don't allow the use of any buttons besides arrow keys and z/x, sorry.

also that comment is 4 years old lmao

Thanks!

wow the game is a lot better now, great job!

nicely done!

I love throwing rocks at small children

This game is really great, I forgot how scary it was lol. I still haven't beaten it yet.

The renderer is very cool, but the gameplay is infuriating. when an asteroid hits you, it doesn't bounce off, it continues going through you, usually until you die. the acceleration of the ship is so slow that dodging is basically impossible, and using keys to turn instead of the mouse makes shooting really difficult as you have a very small limit to how fast you can turn. you can make it turn towards the mouse, and cap that rotation speed, if you don't want the player to be able to turn infinitely fast, but aiming with the mouse would be really nice.

anyway yeah, cool renderer, but the gameplay can be improved (but I get that's not the focus of the project) I think there's lots of potential here, and my only goal in posting this is to give constructive criticism.

I could open one right now but then I'd have to put my IP address in an itch.io comment section

This is awesome thank you for making it! I don't totally understand how everything works (I haven't tried very hard) but I enjoyed placing rhombic dodecahedra at every corner of the top cell of the tesseract in the cellular automata mode. Great job with this!

Peak!!

Thanks for playing, and the kind review! So glad the game felt intuitive to you, I didn’t expect anyone not familiar with 4D to get it.

Thanks!!!! It's more fun if you play with other people, cuz you can talk with your friends and watch them move around in 4D and it's surprisingly entertaining to watch goofy hyperfurries bounce around and curiously interact with and view objects :3

This game gay as hell!!!!

I'm not a girl but I enjoyed it anyway it was cute and silly and extremely colon three. 6/6

PEAK!!!! extremely gay experience

v1.3.2 changes:
small bug fixes

fullscreen

mouse sensitivity

v1.3.0 changes:

made it so that you can double click an off file and then open the polytope in the viewer

fixed weirdness with zooming

made w/v scroll speed configurable

Just updated the game. The mo was sitting on one of its hexadecachoral ridges, rather than a demicubic facet. That has since been fixed.

lol

New update: the volumetric image on the right is now rotateable with middle mouse click

I see you left a 1 star rating on the game too. How the HELL does this game, that's mostly black, has no flashing lights, hurt your eyes? Like I'm genuinely curious at this point

Don't play it then? It's pretty up front about the whole "not really being a game" thing. and the controls aren't awkward, that's skill issue lmao. Please, I invite you to make a better 4D game, since you seem to really appreciate and understand the effort that goes into creating even a small application like this. I'm sure I'd be blown away by your brilliance and talent.

3 months ago I finished this update and then I forgot to upload it 💀

anyway v1.1.1 is uploaded now!

very nicely made game, and it's super cool that the levels are numbered in base six. I got stuck at level ten (14) but maybe sometime I'll return.

hell yeah base six (I have no idea what this is I just found this itch page by searching "godot seximal")

ohhh I thought you meant the exact opposite

Thanks for the comment, I'll get right on these. I missed the setting for disabling the max on the number box, and I naively assumed all ports were 4 digits long...

Also, when you say "a mode where you rotate in ground view the same as not in ground view" I assume you want YZ (looking up and down) rotation to be locked, right? Looking up and down would look super strange if up was out of sight. And by "vertical looking" I assume you mean looking ana and kata, or what up and down look like in ground view? If so yeah I can add that.

I could add a separate mouse sensitivity option for focus mode, but I don't really see the point. You know you can change the mouse sensitivity with /mouse_sens right? I find it pretty easy to move my mouse slowly, but alright.

Lastly, how would you twirl/XW rotate with the new ground view mode?

As I'm publishing this message, I have most of these features done already. (I work fast)

Why was this tagged as 3d, 4d, and 5d?

nooooo whyyy :(

the godot "controversy" is so silly it's not even worth talking about, let alone using the "competitor" redot

The vertical rotation is locked, and the 4D rotation is super weird (why zxc and snapping to certain rotations? just make XW and ZW controlled with the mouse when a mouse button is held). Also, upon closing the game using alt+f4, a process was still running in the background, setting my mouse's position continuously. I had to go into task manager and kill it.

This game is very simple but it's well executed and highly polished. Great little puzzle game.

What happened to this project?

Those sound like good ideas. Thank you for playing my simulation. The camera controls are ripped straight from programs like blender with orbital and pan controls.

I have not played it yet, but from looking at the thumbnail gif this game does not look 4D in the slightest. The term you are looking for is "non euclidean". Non euclidean games are cool too, why lie? You're just contributing to the problem of normies getting non euclidean and 4D mixed up.
