Hey Guys! One of the engineers that worked on this here. Thanks for all the attention/feedback (good and bad). I'm sorry for those that are trying to play and having such a hard time, we had wrapped up work on this a year ago so it caught us completely off guard when this happened. It'd be really cool if some of the team could revisit this concept now that we are mostly all professionals, try and build it properly and polished. FYI this was our own C++ engine which made it even more complicated.

Did anybody else never know of the existence of this letsplay until accidentally stumbling upon it or seeing it in a suggested video feed?

My new favorite nerd3 quote, "we tend to hug bits of the internet to death"

That console at the very beginning of the game that "looks like a toaster" is a very old Pong console from the late 70s. The focusing nobs on the sides allowed the played to move the paddle up and down and on certain consoles, move the paddle to different angles

17:32 "Jump! Missed! MISSED! Catch me! Broken! Oh my God it's the doll! The doll wants vengaaaaance!!!!"

Hard to believe I started watching my favorite youtuber almost 2 1/2 years ago, starting with his Surgeon Sim video, and this was his most recent video.

Start screen reminds me of the marauders map out of Harry Potter

That toaster was one of the first game consoles, the magnavox oddesey, but had less functions than a toaster.

If you go into the crack in the wall, you'll be completely erased from the universe.

I just realized that at the start the footprints are walking on the infinate staircase.

Now all we need is Tales from the Positive Lab.

I would love to see more of this! This was WONDERFUL!

remember when nerdcubed had comments? good times... good times.

Unfortunately the game seems to be dead. Can't download it.

i've been looking for this for years

I love game developers who see lets plays and then take feedback from them! Amazing work!

The fact he doesn't know what an odyssey is is slightly depressing

Ah, yes. That "Toaster" is actually a really old game console. And a horrible one too.

I love the subtle Red Dwarf references Dan keeps making XP

I like how Nerd feels the urge to help us name the things that he encounters. Yes, that is a stapler, thank you for confirming that.

It all happens in season 4. She appears for the first time in "Turn Left" (ep. 11), then she goes all the way to episode 13 "Journey's End", and the Doctor locks in the other Universe.

Man I love how at this point in time dans channel had the ability to DDOS websites.

"Hug bits of the internet to death" Wonderful, Dan

[ 1 ] While I was playing this game I found some unique controls to try. Such as: Pressing "C" while in game gave me a fly around mode, and when returning to my character by pressing "C" again i was given the ability to shrink/grow from a range of an ant to a human. Other keys such as "L, M, N" all changed the color of the game from normal, to yellow-red scale, to a blue-purple scale."X" restarted the music cycle. there are other keys that also did various things.

The music is bloody brilliant! :D

By the way, after you pick up the goggles, you can press the #4 key on the keyboard to unlock the full shrinking/growing range (we've hidden a bunch of keys around the lab that you can hunt for).

This video totally made my day, thanks :)

Teehee. Came here from the Outer wilds video, as the downloads site for it also has this linked. Funny how he mentions how we "hug bits of the internet to death", as has literally just happened with their most recent project, again thanks to Dan :p

Moooooore!!!!!! I need more of this deliciously mind bending gameplay!!!!!

Dan! This was the last video I watched of yours before I lost your channel. I'm back now in 2017!

May I just say congratulations on making a really interesting and fun game!

Loving your new outro Dan! All that advertising and all...

The 9th Doctor was in series 1, the 10th Doctor was in series 2, 3 and 4 and the 11th Doctor is in series 5, 6 and series 7 finale was in May. But the 11th and 10th Doctors will appear again in the 50th Anniversary Special and the 11th will regenerate in the Christmas Special.

Hey everyone, I'm the creative director of Tales from the Minus Lab. Sorry about the download issues...it's hosted on my personal portfolio site, which is not designed to be accessed by several thousand people at the same time :) Thanks for all the enthusiasm - we'll see if we can't get it back up and running soon!

1959: Mouse in the Maze, Tic-Tac-Toe In 1957-1961, a collection of interactive graphical programs were created on the TX-0 experimental computer at MIT. These included Mouse in the Maze and Tic-Tac-Toe. This was way before pong (source wikipedia).

"All computers are supposed to be on fire, that's how computers work, my computer does that all the time" I thought it drowned...

Although that would be GREAT for a completes series, Dan said he didn't want a challenge that lasted more than a few episodes, since It would be boring if he failed when he was almost done. But you could always ask for a Nerd³ completes :)

I think it's time to call for NerdCubed completes - tales from a minus lab!!!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT AN OLD NERD3 VIDEO I HAVENT SEEN I DIDNT THINK THEY EXISTED

Is it weird that , as a Brit myself waiting for the newest season, i can remember every episode you're talking about?

YES! The link is fixed! I have waited literally a day for this!

nerdcubed completes tales from the minus lab

Agreed. Russel T Davies was alright at adding character depth and setting up possibilities for plot twists THAT NEVER HAPPENED but Moffat... Series 5 is completely mind-blowing, how the story is written is unbelievably clever. I'm still trying to get over it now

Ha that moment at 7:38 where he just come through the door and that music is playing! Now thats epic!

hey Dan thanks for always putting a smile on my face I really can not thank you enough so thank you.

I'm actually amazed that there is actually a fully completed story. The game isn't that complete, when it was released. Well that's what I remember of my brother telling me. Because he's apart of the team!

with all the games dan buys imagine what his desktop must look like

That is definitely one of the nice things about working on games as students. You also get alot of equipment and software you would be paying for.

hahaha I love his reaction when he walk outside the doll house. I had it playing in the back ground and all I hear is AWWWWW AWWWW AWWWW

Hey everyone, I just posted a working link to the game in the video description section of our Minus Lab Trailer video. Enjoy!

I see what they did there, with the whole jumping jack next to the whiskey bottle thing. Ahaha, that's awesome.

That thing that you thought was a "Gameboy thing" was an Odyssey. It is the very first home video game console ever from what I hear.

Almost 1,000,000 Subs !!

you have to play more of this! im too lazy to play it myself

The doll house thing is really clever :D

Lol you have officially hugged tales from the minus labs to death...

Nice outro! Do a completes series on this pretty please?

I love the music!

Wow, is there a soundtrack release at all? The music is so good!

I think we've hugged the internet to death again.

i love how dan goes to phone before he would think it is a pencil sharpener....right by the pencil...YAY TECHNOLOGY!

Chanllenge! Try and fly to all the airports in just cause 2 in under 10 minutes and stay in the same plane, you need to stay in the plane. Land at the airports and takeoff at the airports

I don't know what Dan uses, but usually I use Fraps or Camtasia for recording, and Sony Vegas pro 10 for editing. You can get all three on pirate bay.

Welcome back! :D I was begin to wonder if the Doctor came and took you in the TARDIS. :D So, there are loads of news. Peter Capaldi is the new Doctor! The eleventh Doctor will regenerate in the Christmas episode. But before that, there is the 50th Anniversary Special in the 23rd of November. Until then we have to wait. The way that I found to spend the time is building a fully functional TARDIS in Minecraft while I listen to a playlist I arranged of all my favorite Doctor Who soundtracks. :D

Alright, there's a new download link available in the description of the Minus Lab Trailer video!

Unity was involved for very early prototyping but due to challenges with physics and shrinking/growing in such a large range we ended up needing our own engine. The physics are Havok.

i love that ending do more minus lab

Aw, cliffhangers. Yay now I HAVE to download it!

I just love hearing his computer click. It's just so... I don't know. Awesome

I love the music

That console was an Odyssey. That shows that this game takes place in the 70's or early 80's, or the people in this game are really strapped for cash.

I understand that school projects like this generally end up very short on time, and that you were spending that time getting the game to work on the computers that you had. I had to try and make a game in Gamemaker for my IT class in Year 10, and it didn't go so well. My laptop is around 2 years old(which in tech years is around it's mid-40's) and also it was a two-for-one sale on AMD laptops, and the one I wanted was sold out, so the one I got was optimized for graphic design. (continued)

"One day my tongue will work, and then i will make good youtubevideos!" Brilliant!

Yeah there are lots of little things in there since we also wanted to allow people to just mess around and not just play through the demo script :). Keep in mind you may run into bugs playing around alot haha. Also if you want to have fun, shrink down really small and get into some of the test tubes and roll them off the table. It is hilarious. Ditto with falling through the cracks on the floor at the smallest size. IIRC the tiniest size is around 6 millimeters tall.

1:54 Respect the old consoles, Nerd! That's the first home console, named the Odyssey

Actually, Moffat wrote several episodes in seasons 1-3. I believe there was 3-4 different authors writing for doctor who, each writing their own episodes. (But I do agree, Moffat is great).

MOAR PLEASE

The website link is in the description. He even said it in the video.

Nerd completes tales from the minus lab

You should do a series on this

Nerd completes Tales of the Minus lab

Oh, holy shit. You had me with "free."

Subbed since about 100 videos

1:52 You mean to tell me that you've never seen an Odyssey?!

Scrolling through Nerd3 channel in a fit of boredom. Finds a video with a funny title and the word "lab" in it. This ought to be something...

Dan is getting close to one million subs!

Just wondering,where did you draw inspiration? How did the gameplay mechanic of shrinking and growing come to be?

Please do a Nerd Completes... on this game because i like your commentry on this game and on others!

I like to imagine you actually turn into those animals to change size.

Ah, Sasha, the beast known as Dan's computor

Yay, the download isn't dead anymore

That was an Odyssey, Dan.

0:07 "This is a little" a few minutes later YUP!

Not sure either. Try running the executable directly, it's located at "bin/Master/Minus_Lab.exe"

MOAR MOAR I NEED MOAR!!!!!!!

got to 2 wait 2 hours for it to download can't wait!!!!!

I believe the door is that way. Please insert your head into the frame and allow me to slam the door repeatedly.

2:38 a moment of silence for Sasha

Your computer doesn't burn Dan,,, it floods!

I think he means the brother in tales from the minus lab has the same voice as Jason from Farcry 3
