Looping the recursion twice before repeating the cycle is real secret ingredient.

Actually my favourite April Fools video, it teeters so closely to the edge of totally believable and complete bullcrap, it's honestly impressive.

This video almost made me give up my passion project because of the cascading existential crisis I had when I thought I actually knew NOTHING because I had no idea about what was being said. The game dev interviews killed me the most. Most of them are huge inspirations for me..... I really hate April fool's day.

As a game dev myself, I adore using diagonal design multiplicity in my depth pipelines. Really encourages player to test out features made possible only by complex numerical space rollbacks, which is obviously the key to game feel.

Omfg you actually got me with this one I was so damn confused I was like is this guy for real? This language is completely incomprehensible. 10/10 video I love it

And that's exactly how Game Feel works. If you tune out all the gibberish and focus on how the words "feel" instead of what they mean, it actually makes perfect sense.

I love rhythm games, and I struggled a ton with the symmetrical parallelism of waveforms when helping on a co-op rhythm simulator. It's great seeing it explained so clearly in here!

holy carp that really felt I was having a stroke the whole time, just slipping back and forth between slightly comprehensible and totally blindsided by jargon. i feel like the big points are important and are valid for game feel, but the details and explanation feel like a dream

What's scary is that I felt like I understood what was going on for a while. I feel like I've gone into the Z-axis of the Dunning Kruger graph.

This video feels way more aimed at game-devs than the previous ones, I had no idea what most of the words meant 😅. EDIT: Oh wait... It's an april fools video...

Asynchronous analog dead zones made a HUGE difference for me, although I was using complex numerical space rollbacks cause I found a plug in that already implemented them. Not sure if they are better tho...

Definitely solid advice, but a lot of this is a no-brainer. When I was working on my first few games, I made the amateur mistake of not diagonalizing my subpixel transform matrices when calibrating the depth buffer, which ruined the retro feel I was going for. I see a lot of people making that same mistake today, so I wanted to point out that the diagonalization works best using a PDP-inverse transformation on the transverse of the matrices, so it only takes a few clicks. Good luck out there!

Had this slowly growing feeling that something was off. The amount of jargon alone was just through the roof. Then at 2:48: *sudden realization* Also 1:40 "Looping the recursion twice, before repeating the cycle" Holy superfluous redundancy batman...

I don't know how important it is but implementing custom multi spacial voxel hash grids helped us do real time matrix transfusion effects per fragment, players love what we can pull off with the effects, yall should try implementing.

It's like watching a hacker movie except in my head i'm imagining the script you *wanted* to make.

I have recently played a lot of Encabulator and I must say, it is a marvel of technological sophistication. The way the capacitors dynamically modulate the fluxion matrix is simply breathtaking. And the fusion of the quantum entanglement engine with the electroplasmic interphase grid is a masterful stroke of genius. And you’re right, the game feel is really something to behold. I just wish the story was a little bit longer.

Noise cancelled controller ramble is amazing when you try to deal with non-euclidean space-times. Especially when the character movement has to jump in a diagonal quaternion rotation flipping the gimbal lock states. Great tips!

Man, I'm so glad you shouted out Encabulator. Such an under-rated interactive cinematic experience.

This is a really good video haha, probably one of the best ive seen in a while. Definitely gonna add some of these things into my own game :) So many videos nowadays purposefully make you feel like an idiot, just to boost their own ego. Glad this one is different :) Your mastery of the art of elucidating the intricacies of batch interpolated Vorbis prefabrications is unparalleled amongst any individual I have encountered on the expanse of the internet, and such an awe-inspiring feat is particularly notable given the manifold intricacies involved in creating a multifaceted game with the aid of a sophisticated 3D engine.

Thank you for making these videos! You always impress me with how you can simplify these complex topic and cut through the jargon!

Honestly, this was just the advice I needed to take my indie project to the next level of polish. As soon as I implemented two-frame polymorphism, I thought "hey, this looks just like something I'd buy on Steam!" Great video.

I couldn't have put it any simpler myself. Nice video

Never thought to consider the medium design. Such a great point. It really helped finish development on my Romantic Survival Novel, thanks a lot!

I feel so betrayed. I'm researching Game Feel for my master's thesis and was so excited when I read the title. I cri

He's back with PowerPoint as a game engine, amazing!

For a moment, I felt stupid not understanding anything, but now it all makes since, thanks to the wikipedia page on Apriori Encoding Algorithm (AEA) you showed at the end. Great job distilling and explaining game feel!

I feel so dumb, it took me almost half the video to realize what was really going on. Good diagonal interpolation of depth though.

It took me a while, but I lost it at the 'random pitch'-segment. Great april fools script.

The "Encabulator" game was really the cherry on the april fools cake - I swear if you didn't include that I would have 100% believed this video.

I knew about I-frames and IK systems, but it took until this video for me to finally appreciate the importance of K-frames and reverse-IK systems. Thanks Mental Checkpoint!

The Encabulator joke at the end is what really tied this whole thing together! 10/10, would z-buffer pixel deviation again!

I feel like I’m peering into an alternate reality where this all makes sense

Thanks for this video! It really explained a lot about how the player's emotional state affects their performance when interacting with the Hexflow Pipelines for audio. I just kinda wish you touched more on the auxillary rumble synthesizer that game engines recently added.

genuinely thought i was going insane in the first 3 minutes

Best thing about this video is that people will come to it for years to come and not realise the date.

Loved the vid! Coming from a puzzle-platformer background, what's really remarkable about these types of parallelised approaches is the avoidance of 'lateral-creep'. Working with a recursive workflow model for the game-feel and medium-cycle reward structure lets you focus on the player-action latent space *throughout* the dev cycle rather than towards the end of it. The tidbits on diagonalisation were a nice touch too. Can't remember exactly who said it, but I recall hearing some pretty ignorant takes from a former industry leader on the topic of 2D singleplayer development cycles that made pitch/yaw inheritance sound like a crutch or an afterthought. Glad you could shed some light on this. This is a pretty great introduction to criminally under-discussed approach.

In the future, all educational videos will be like this. You watch the video, feel like it is telling you very important things, yet you somehow tune out the whole thing as you're watching it go by. Then, by the end, you feel like you have learned nothing, despite all of the information that was just presented to you. "It's so good that these videos are here to explain all these important topics to me," you say to yourself. "But I don't really understand it yet, perhaps I should watch another similar video, surely I will understand it then!" And then the cycle repeats itself, all the while you are glued to the screen, absorbing words, phrases, ideas that seem as if they are very meaningful, but ultimately just beyond your grasp. You spend hours, days, weeks trying to take it all in. And by the end... Hm, I don't think we're there quite yet. There's still so much I don't understand. Time to watch some more educational content!

The Factorio guy is having a hard time keeping a straight face. Also, noise cancelled rumble

Glad this came out on April Fools, because I'm fooling myself if I think I understand half of this 😂😂 But my linguistic-shortcomings aside,, what an informative and incredibly well put together video! Thank you for all of the hard work that went into creating and sharing this with us!!

The way that the hypertextual feedback loops interweave with the ludic constraints and affordances to create a synergistic experience is truly breathtaking! From the fractalized ludonarrative harmonics to the immersive kinaesthetic haptic feedback, every aspect of game feel must be expertly crafted to ensure maximum player engagement and enjoyment. The synergistic interplay between the spatiotemporal affordances and the proprioceptive feedback loops is simply unparalleled in any other medium!

For people that don't understand 99% of the words he just said, it just felt having a stroke for nine minutes.

Thank you so much, this is really helpful. I keep hearing how important game feel is, but no one actually cared to explain what it was. These videos are so unique, and I love each one, thank you for helping the future of game dev!

So how did they leverage the Rockwell Retro Encabulator to its fullest extent? I just can't seem to figure out how it congregates with the diagonal deadzone progressional fluxes just yet...

I struggled for so long to understand game feel, thank you for explaining it so clearly !!

until the very very end when I watched the comments, I barely realized what happened. I just thought that despite the years I spent studying game design, I somehow was just not focusing enough. I knew "this guy made some very high quality things in the past, I'm sure this one is great as well, I just need to wait for the summary or smth". my biggest reason for doubting the fact that it was made for 1st of april was because I watched it on 4th of april and it's 9 mins, the video quality is high and there's some guys who claim they worked on certain games and so I took it legit for granted

Oh hey you're still alive, and right on time too, I've been tasked with improving my company's flagship game's game feel (Mainly because I suggested it and even made a presentation on it) so this is prefect timing, there's probably some stuff I missed in my document anyway. EDIT: I only realized this was an April-fools video when I read the comments, I just thought: "Clearly I have a lot more to learn about game feel, I should do more research to learn what all of this means."

omg, I fell hard for this and was questioning my existence, well done!

Yes!! Awesome to see you return 👀

Please come back! I miss your voice and your closer looks on game development 😢

3 minutes in I feel like the auxilary liminarities disenfranchised the flow of participatory development structure. Or in other words: I notice the date. What a mean way to come back after months. xD

Any tips for the music side of things? I think I may be missing something: I tried a variable sample rate synced with the player's transform matrix to minimize ghosting during the audio rendering pipeline, but players didn't seem to notice.

We really do miss you! It’s been a year come back!

I suppose that's how his videos sound like to non game-dev folks.

This video presents many good examples of shader buffer deviations and intermediary frame foundations, but I think you should cover more secondary immersion pipeline techniques, even simple ones such as meta-enforced non-x clipping, gantry level sub-progression, or even tactile subdivision of out of view matrices (for the few who don't know)

Man I was getting so angry, until I looked at the date

oh my god, this is--you guys--it's been a long time since I've been so completely caught out. nicely done.

part of me loves this video for how indepth it goes and part of me is really overwhelmed like godamn i'm gonna have to do some serious research on this cause i've never heard of most of the terms and compared to your avg gamer i know a shit ton about how video games work. thanks for giving me a starting off point though

This was a very terminology-heavy video. As someone who's just starting out, a lot of it went over my head.

Glad to see you back ! Hope to see more from you soon

It's fascinating to see all the bits that go into creating good game feel. Great video!

As a long time backseat game dev, I really appreciate seeing that the parallelization of z buffer subframe-timing is getting recognized! All too often games forego this simple technique and subconsciously it makes a GREAT difference in how responsive the inputs feel.

You're back, and it's on April Fools. 😆 Edit: After watching it, have a feeling you'll make a follow up video without the jargons, can't wait.

Most elaborate prank I've seen in yt, well done! Had me fooled trough the most part, to the point where it started to make sense somehow...

Goddammit Nick. I went into this video expecting the usual digestible material, then struggled my way through 6 or so minutes of jargon until realisation hit. You absolute bandit. 😂

Wow... I understood like 12% of what you just said.

you know, looking at the real time wave diagram when analyzing the pitch really is a game changer

It's April 9th and I'm still getting these damn April fools videos in my recommended. I've been binging game dev videos for a few days, I was halfway through this one when my ears started to bleed and I had to check the date it was uploaded.

Lmfaooo I was listening to this in the background while I worked and thought I was having a stroke for a second Edit: I WAS mishearing things, I hadn’t chamfered the lower end frequencies of the audio in this video over my Bluetooth headset!!

It almost makes sense. I can imagine what, say, map defragmentation might be. Imagine you store your vertex information in space partitioning forests. Well, as you keep adding nodes, cardinal multiplicity is going to increase at the same rate. Said cardinal multiplicity has high entropy, an can cause your tree to be reduced into a low efficiency configuration. Defragging the overall vertex assembly then means restructuring the partitioning to maximize overall something something

But wouldn't that cause a parabolic destabilization of the fission singularity?

I have to say it, your videos are a master class in game design, I found your channel and probably binged all your videos in 2 days. I love the way you express and you explain everything and having a point of view from someone who has actually been able to make games and learn and even publish games is inspiring. Thank you for sharing all this with us, you're an incomparable help for everyone dreaming with making games!

Excellent vid. Gonna take me a while to get all of that perfected but I think I got the general gist of it.

See, this is why AAA can't compete with indie. High-end engines have problems dealing with sub-frame aggregation (due to Heimlich's principle) so ghosting is rampant. Wish I had thought of the parallel input managers finetuning and noise-canceled rumble. Thanks for bringing wider attention to these issues!

Can I use this in my resume? Really glad I know the Bluetooth resonance step algorithm, so I can create my first order neural feedback loop more efficiently

Finally you're back! I've been waiting!!

Oh it's so nice to know this channel isn't dead. I instantly watch every video when I see a new one pop up as I've already watched all of the previous ones. 😅

this is what a stroke looks like in video form , 10/10 would turn my brain into pizza again

English is my second language and I would rate how well i can understand it like an 8/10 compared to a native speaker but this video had me lost so many times with using words I’ve never heard of before, looks stunning though ❤

WOO I got *so* happy seeing this channel in my notifications again. Happy to have you back man!

This video made go through some sort of stages of grief. Excitement of a new upload, Interest in the topic, Confusion as it went on, Re-evaluating my life, and Relief when i checked the date of release.

I'm personally a fan of non-euclidian analog inputs. An unpopular opinion, I'm sure.

The April fools joke is, that we thought they quit making videos

so glad you're back!

You've summed up all of my qualms about using specific dev channels as actual game dev guides.

I have never been so absolutely blasted by an April Fool's than this video. Unironically had me spinning out because I didn't know any of these concepts and felt like a total idiot.

Really sucks this guy left after this video, his content was so nice

you got me with "encabulator" I was super interested damn it

Glad to see you back in action. You always made some of the best videos on KZfaq.

I like your funny words, magic man!

new video when? :(

this is the first tutorial video that only made my job look harder. appreciate the incredible animations and level of polish on this video. that's top tier. I've never seen anything like it. But i haven't learned anything other than to... use audio? I'm bombarded with terms that are never explained and I'm not sure they are there to make you sound intelligent or if you're working on a video for so long that you can't really judge how "consumable" it is for viewers with all this lingo? ...OH. It was an april fools joke. I don't wanna backspace this because you can see me figuring that out in real time. I've never seen your videos before and couldn't be fooled harder lmao good job real clever

Okay this one really got me. Well played xD

Encabulator! It's a cutting-edge game that utilizes the latest in reverse osmosis technology to provide an unparalleled gaming experience

how did you get the devs in on this?

Ah, excellent, I got to watch a new GDELB this year after all. Thank you.

Thanks for the CLEAR explanation! Finally!

We genuinely need a follow up video pointing out every single part that was completely made up

It took me too long to realize its an april fools video lol.

at long last, he’s back!

This modern take on the Rockwell Retro Encabulator is just brilliant!!
