It's an opportunity to make 4 tiers and name them: 1D supporter, 2D supporter, 3D supporter, 4D supporter

Suggestions: You could emphasize the 4D gameplay in the UI, by giving 4D Lenses a unique item slot, “lenses,” separate from armor slots, and making variants that allow the player to view 4D via different methods (such as partially transparent overlays, blue/red onionskins or afterimages). Giving the game a more “simple but flashy” name, such as “PRYSM” (although that name specifically might be copyrighted by a tech company) could help with garnering attention/support. No offense, but as it stands “4D Miner” IS one number away from using the exact same name as an existing Minecraft clone. A shorter, simpler name would also make core features easier to accentuate, such as renaming Deadly Ore to “Prysmite,” in the case of Prysm. More closely matching features to the title or concept could give the game a more memorable “identity” that is easier to boil down. Also, AS SOON as this game has enough content to make gameplay videos on, ask @AlphaBetaGamer to play it. None of this is in response to the failed kickstarter by the way, these are just suggestions being given when I happened to find this game and think of them.

Supporting you on Patreon. It would be a crime for this game to go unfinished

Might I suggest changing "deadly ore"/"deadly bars", etc. to something that doesn't convey it could harm you? "Quadrite" was what I came up with off-the-cuff - "quad" to convey four, of course, to suggest it's a material native to the fourth dimension.

To me, this feels like when Minecraft was beggining it feels like some little game, but then it will be awesome (its awesome even now) Good luck with the game

I am so excited about this project and was sad that it didn't get funded enough, but I'm happy you are continuing, and I will get the 5-dollar support thing tonight.

id love to see some kind of long dragon enemy. Who snakes in and out of the fourth dimension. Like imagine seeing a bit of his torso and BAM his head pops out.

it would be cool if there was some sort of ‘waypoint’ that you could click to rotate to a certain angle in the fourth dimension - could be very useful in a cave for example to find what angle the exit/entrance is visible at

I feel that "insecurity" is the sensation that this game should look for... is uncomfortable because we are a 3d being in a dimension that we can't fully understand, and that's awesome. That way may this game will have a personality appart from just being a "minecraft 4d", like terraria did many years ago. It's just awesome what you're doing, keep going!!

This game is incredible. How this doesn't have millions of views yet is beyond me. Brilliant work!

I respect you, you looked failure straight in the eyes and said no, pushed it out of the way, and kept chasing after success.

I just realised how cool this is! You can have a whole 3d game with any kind of shape for the blocks, just by rotating and shifting the 4d view position in a certain way, which is also probably unecessarily complicated. I would also very much like for the game to have some sort of redstone (or more complex) level contraptions system, as that would bring (actually) endless possibilities! I genuenly think that this game has so much potential, and making it into just a general "minecraft but 4d" is such a waste when it can be so so much more.

it would be a cool feature if there were events or enemies that pushed you around the 4D space. i feel like it could really discombobulate the player and make them rush around trying to fix themselves, kinda like the creeper in minecraft, something sudden and unexpected and requires quick thinking to act.

Oh man I just found this out, but multiplayer sounds amazing. Imagine having a server where certain groups of people dedicate to building in only certain 3d planes.

i think something that would really bring your game to the next level is a good lighting system, the manipulation of light through the 4th dimension would be insane

A great feature would be structures to explore like dungeons and mazes. They would push the player toward 4D exploration in a rewarding way.

4d miner + vr change my mind

It's not yet time yet. We don't even have our own self sufficient game yet. A game that progress with or without players. Progress that means they themselves evolve. Plus 4d Miner is quite a new concept, it has many possibilities. So don't let the fire burn out.

did you ever think of making a Horror Game out of it ? The Idea of enemies lurking in the 4th dimension is scary enough

I got scared for a second that the game wouldn't be continued, I'm so glad you will keep working on it! :)

I would like to see a 4D creeper. That's all I want. I want to see the early-game players _rage_ >:)

Okay here is some advice: Rotate around the center of the block you are standing on (and snap your 4'th dimensional position entirely atop that block if need be) not around the players location. This makes the rotation mechanic feel less arbitrary and more repeatable, because otherwise you will always be a portion of a block out and that makes interacting with the world a real chore.

I'm in such love with this project. I've discovered it yesterday on your video about 4D Miner, and I'm really enjoying how this all is going. I really hope you manage to add bossfights to the game when it releases fully, i may even try it out

Just know when you do release the game please make it harder. The only mobs in the game Spiders are rather weak and once you get a stick let alone a dangerous pickaxe they are kinda a push over. I feel this game has potential because trying to survive in a world where all living beings can freely access the world at anytime except for you has the potential to make for some interesting gameplay moments especially if you add multi-player like you said you would. Overall good luck with your game and I look forward to playing it.

This project looks fantastic, even just as a tech demo! My one request now would be re-bindable controls. because of how I use a keyboard and mouse, (the mouse is in my left hand, weird I know) wasd is very difficult to move around with, so being able to rebind controls would be very helpful, and I'm sure at least a few other people feel the same way.

I was wondering if you were gonna launch a Patreon. I also completely missed some of the stuff the Discord made, like resource pack manager. Cool stuff!

There are not enough 4D / Non-Euclidean space games out there, so as a fan of those types of games this is really interesting! That the inventory is also shaped with the amount of cubes required for a Dali Cross is perfect, great humor Mash, can't wait to see where this project goes!

Most of the Spanish Community came here because of Bobicraft, sadly he met 4D Miner on the last 48 hours of the project

This game looks amazing! Just wondering, are you going to add any more enemies, like Hyperzombies or Hyperskeletons, or are you planning to make a conpletely different enemy? Thanks in advance :)

im just so intrigued by the 4th dimension in terms of video games, there are certainly a lot of things that can only be done in this setup and i am looking forward to seeing what those things are

I really hope this gets noticed by more people, it reminds me of Minecraft’s humble beginnings, it started with such a simple build but it was worked on more and more until it became the icon it’s known as today.

I'm sorry you didn't reach your goal but I literally just got pushed an earlier video about the game and that it was going up on Kickstarter. I'm glad you have decided to keep plugging away at it because I think it will make a good learning experience for people to think out side of 3D.

can you add an option to disable the text glitching effect, or decrease it? another suggestion: add an option in settings that switches the strafe and rotate controls

I only discovered this due to youtubes recommendation system, That video was of corse one of the best things youtube has recommended me and an amazing discovery. I would like youtube to recommend good videos like this but anyway keep up the work on the game. Can’t wait to see what bosses would look like if there will be anyway.

Dang, I would’ve loved to support this project if I didn’t find out so late. Im sad I missed it but I cannot wait to see where it goes

I can express how amazed I am, we you did the the thing with the thing that you did just wow. the compass and how you interact with the world, the designs for the creatures!? + the world itself looks amazing you know streamers and KZfaqrs alike will be screaming with joy when a spider walks throw the fourth demotion into their hearts/house. I only just saw your first video but I'm so glad I did because this really just made me so happy.

I’m looking forward to seeing this project grow so much, and I love your dedication on it!

Suggestion: A 4d targeting system (could be a special item like the 4d glasses) which targets an enemy, player or not, and keeps you in the same plane as them. It would have some adverse affects too, as while you are targeting or being targeted by someone, the world shifts with respect to how you move (for example, moving to the right of your opponent would act as the scroll wheel up function and moving left as SW down). This way combat isn’t just about who can hit who the most or who can run away into the 4th dimension fastest, but more about situational awareness and using the shifting terrain to your advantage

The fact that you STILL decided to continue to make 4D Miner despite the kick starter being an absolute flop, really shows your love & dedication to your community! Mad respect my fellow indie developer! ✊

Man, you channel is growing at a very good rate, when I had checked out for first time it was 8k but checking the next day it was 24k!! Cool

I strangely feel like it is very important for this game to be released

I'm going to give the demo a shot. I only just found out about this game a couple hours ago. Looks like an interesting concept. keep up the good work.

This channel singlehandedly made me understand 4d marginally better than how i did before

i just found out about 4d miner yesterday , if i knew there was a kickstarter i wouldve backed this in time... glad to know youre still working on it ! I wish you the best of luck

You should add a feature we’re there is a creative mode like Minecraft and within the creative mode can be extra blocks and monsters that don’t normally fit the game’s theme, like some blocks and monsters can even be community creations.

THE GAME LIVES ON!

This is so cool. I am also glad you are listening to the community

I'm commenting in hopes it'll boost the KZfaq algorithm to show this to more people, I support this 100%. This is amazing! Would love to see how this develops over time!

Aw man i literally found your 4d miner video like 20 minutes ago

I was worried this project might get dropped. So happy to hear multiplayer is coming!

Honestly, I think you are doing actually serious work for the rest of humanity by developing this game. I think it has potential to become an important tool for learning, as will many other games in the future. But this one especially, because something tells me that the future is very strange, and I think very few people can start to grasp how strange it will get. This game can be a start of grasping something out of our usual comprehension. Keep up the great work. Thank you.

So excited to see where the updates take us. Bravo, and excellent work!

Does anybody else have a “no stream” message?

honestly, i dind't even know there was a kickstarter

I love seeing projects that explore the 4th dimension. I remember seeing another game a while back that was supposed to be this platformer (I don't know if it ever got released or what, seemed to be in development hell or something?). I think what you have accomplished looks amazing, but I am really interested in seeing how you will shape the 4th dimensional aspect into the gameplay so it becomes a fun and engaging part, rather than it being just a gimmick or hassle. Either way I wish you good luck! This is already very innovative.

I'm so happy for you, keep the amazing work !

I'd like it if you had some sort of accessory slot or armor slot to put things like the 4d glasses into, having to switch to your weapon for each hit on a hyperspider, switching back to the glasses to locate the enemy, and then grabbing your weapon again is very frustrating, especially with low fps.

I think it's a shame, though I understand why the kickstarter flopped.

I wish I saw this project earlier than today, as it's so fricking cool. I love your project and it's sooo creative

The idea of 4d sandblock game is a very interesting. I watch all three of the 4d miner video btw.

it would be cool to have other dimensions in the game and armor

I've stumbled across 4D Miner randomly a few daya ago and it's truly an insane game idea I'd love to see become big in the future

Only just heard about your game and it looks amazing, I think you have something very special here

this is genuinely incredible!! I hope more people learn about this. This feels sincerely fantastical

I absolutely love this idea! Looking forward to seeing it develop! Also, why are they called Deadly bars? Are they radioactive or something?

we need 4d creepers!

This game is the very first time imagining 4 dimensions started to make sense to me. Amazing work and can't wait to see how it progresses!

I just got recommended the original video, I think you've hit the algorithm. I really like the concept behind this and hope it goes well.

we need a 4d boss!

Bit of a suggestion, perhaps when designing the enemy NPCs, You could draw inspiration from biblically accurate angels. Could help with the theming or just be a neat thing to see.

Yeah I found this through the phonix video and than just got absolutely obsessed with the idea of 4d

I only found this project today D: but im so happy you're still working on it! :D

I clicked so fast the video isn’t playing for me

please mashpoe, do not make the same mistake minecraft did and lose focus. it can't decide if it's a survival, sandbox, or exploration game sometimes and instead of getting really good at one it just continues working on all three without revising the old stuff. this game has some fantastic potential, and i love it. imo, it'd be great as a survival game, as the sandbox building aspect is a little difficult because of four dimensions. hope you're having a nice day and continue to have them, though!

i got recommended all your stuff today through the youtube algorithm. good luck, i'll be following your game.

Thank you for continuing this project. It is very cool and I am looking forward to Future Updates! :)

What I just found this channel and imeditely after a new video is uploaded

I gotta say I think the ultimate failure of the kickstarter were a few reasons: the graphics could have used an update to have a more cohesive style, you should have promoted the game for a longer time instead of making one video on it and immediately publishing the kickstarter, but the biggest issue is the the idea being completely unbaked. In the qa video you basically deny the game having any focus which just makes it a 4d demonstration and not a game. If you want to promote this as a game you need to decide what the gameplay loop will be, otherwise ppl wont be interested in paying money for it.

Super excited to see where this goes!

I'm so sorry man. KZfaq algorithm didn't bless me to find your project soon enough.

The name just needs to be rebranded to NOT be called “4D miner”. I’d call it something related to tesseracts, like “Tesseract”, and the 4D blocks be called something like “tesseractites”

There's four main takeaways that I have from this: You need a new name, friend. Anything to do with the number 4 or hyperdimensional structures will do. You're going to be in a niche anyway, so why constrict yourself in a niche inside a clone niche. You may want to ditch the voxel design alltogether. Or maybe use a mesh (cartesian or polygonal) that conforms to the landscape and provides a smoother look so you don't risk falling into the minecraft clone niche I mentioned before. It shouldn't hinder breaking or adding blocks and allow the local meshes to deform in response. The change in the look by itself will probably make all the difference in delineating the game from the rest of the voxel minecraft-likes. It would probably be cool to constrain the degrees of freedom when shifting through the fourth dimension a little bit as folks get used to the concept of the game. Then allow more granular shifting through the fourth dimension as they progress. Though, that's if you're aiming for a larger audience that doesn't already grok the idea. And, finally, while the genre isn't exactly my bag in the first place, I could see an mmo being one of the ultimate realizations of this idea. Characters and mobs start out on a "server" with a single degree of 4th dimensional freedom. Later, by patch and discovery, players are able to translate themselves between their "server" and a sister "server" oriented perpendicular to their own. Much further down the line, the players are freely hopping between degrees of freedom since they've all been operating on the exact same server the entire time and just didn't know it at the outset.

man... I JUST descovered about 4dminer and i'm honestly stunned. Glad you'll keep going! You have all my support in this buddy, checking your patreon NOW!

This is incredibly cool! Keep at it and this has the potential to get huge! You have my support

Can't wait till this will be fully released. This has Mad potential,Mashpoe this is hard to do so don't have too much pressure to release as soon as possible if you put in your love and care it will definitely be amazing.

The potential in 4D is astronomical. This is very cool! Keep up the good work!

I literally just found out about this game today with your first video on it. I don't have a PC to play it on rn but it's just so interesting, I'll have to keep up with how development is going from now on. Exploring 4D using Minecraft-like mechanics makes it all make a lot more sense to me, and that explanation using the 2D person in your first video was also really good

I'm excited to see where this goes!

im so happy this is continuing, i loved the concept when i first saw it.

today is my first time hearing about this! i have some major expenses coming up this month but i would absolutely want to back this after that

Of course KZfaq decides now is the perfect time to put your game on the front page...

I'm so amazed by 4D, I hope a get the time to play your game on my next holiday

This seems like such an amazing project!

This is so cool and I look forward to the future of this project!

As soon as I physically can I will be supporting you on patreon, this project feels magical. In the same sense that Minecraft felt magical when it was in it's earliest stages, I really hope the growing trend continues, and I hope you keep making it better and better, it's so exciting! A couple comments I have on the game - instead of armor slots, you should have equipment slots. Just places to put items like the compass and 3d glasses and any other future concepts you might add. That and when II right click an item i only have one of, it creates another of that same item even though the item count reads 0. lol

Words can not describe how happy I am to see this incredible project continued.

As a variant idea on the 4d compass, make a 2 part transponder device. The unit can be carried [search mode] or placed [find mode](in a chest, house, resource vein, on another player). Others can track its location using the same mechanics as the 4d compass with their own unit IF it has a tuned crystal for the unit being tracked. Tuning a blank crystal could be as simple as slotting it into that unit and performing a craft operation. Each time the unit (not tuning the crystal) is recrafted (old unit plus resources for a new unit), the number of crystals it can hold increases. It could be made more useful by slotting a blank crystal to orient on the nearest other unit. Numbering the crystal slots and putting corrisponding numbers in the display could help orient the user. This could make for some wild team-PVP play (you know where [some of] your team-mates and the nearest non-tm unit are... enemy or trap?)

Glad that you continued with the project. Thanks for such a good idea and game. I will support with sharing and liking.

just saw the original video about this - SO glad that you're blowing up since all 4D games so far have been tech demos pretty much... hopefully you'll be able to pull something cool off here :)

This idea is amazing! I'm planning to study 4D geometry inspired by this game
