So I decided to make a new discord server because my old one started to die and became pretty inactive, so feel free to join this new one! discord.gg/ZXDWbNu

Nether didn't die, it was murdered

Honestly, that Markiplier episode of Nether is the only reason why I know what this game is

The place is now filled with lava and occupied by pigman

Its getting a revamp in 1.16! Im hyped for the new biomes

I still go to the nether all the time when I play Minecraft why do you say it failed?

They should have Nether tried it. At least they didn’t call it Aether.

"Nether was an INDIE SURVIVAL game..." it seems like it was dead on conception

>PureFPS Wait a minute, I know that stench >new tab >Alone in the Dark: Illumination A yes. Only the best and brightest to work on our game!

Nether heard of it.

I admit that the nether failed, it was so lack lusting, lighting up your nether portal and walking in it and you think WOW this is so cool for the first 2 minutes but then you realize that there is nothing there at all. Hopefully Minecraft gives it life again

When i was a teenager i had a "I wanna play Dayz, Rust, stuff like that" kind of.... phase, before I learned pvp multiplayer is cancer. I own nether... I should not own nether. Update: I now play R6 Siege and Destiny 2.

You know, I had 354 hours on this game and to be comepletely honest, I'll never experience the same tense situations this game had from any other game. The difficulty was brutal. You use your guns on the nether and you alert more nether, and players. In such a tightly spaced map, there was always potentially a player around every corner. The team I was grouped with was undefeatable together. I knew all the safe routes to take when travelling with good loot, Mr. White was our strategist, and dark was our frontman with the pvp, although as a team we even took out hackers and made them rage quit (a close range auto shotty out dps's any machine gun so it's your only chance to kill one of them) I'll definitely miss the glory days of this game, and it's a shame that it died the way it did.

I remember my group of friends and I played for weeks. And the entirety of those weeks we fought the same group of hackers. And a month of solid battle whenever we got on later, my friend installed a hacked client and got insta VAC banned. But not the other hackers. Love it.

you left some information out. about the resurrection, phosphor games was kicked off the project by the publishers again, this was right as more and more updates were coming out and player count was growing.

"decayed and ruined" **Plays undertale ruins theme** Great use of music for the scene.

6:41 That actually sounds like a neat idea for encouraging more cooperation between players and that this mechanic makes sense via the context of the setting ("nethers" smelling all that blood) is just icing on the bloody cake that will sadly never be finished...

"combining things gets you other things" speech 100

About the 32-bit issue... there is a legitimate reason that support can’t be added easily. Some limitations can cause issues with 32-bit operating systems (not enough memory, slower operations or less precise floats)

7:57 "comments would pop up all over the comments" RoboKast - 2018

This was the only time when I got the game, played around 5 hours, and then actively started looking for players to group up. There was only one community in Russian social network Vkontakte, with around 50 active members, so I've left a quote there Three guys replied... We've spent around 80 hours in only next week!! The game was HUGE fun, with all the exploration, scavenging, PVP, boss fights, events with huge waves of nethers, defending and activating safe zones... Then the devs introduced gun-crafting instead of collecting gun as a whole from one loot spot. Then it all went to shit, and we've all switched to Rust. Later on, Nether was dead. upd. "swagrid" in the game chat on the game footage sound VERY familiar... :)

Here’s a fun game, take a shot every time he says nether.

“Nether ressurected” more like nether deadurrected

3:00 sort of resembles chicago? I don't see any difference, looks exactly like chicago. Good job on the developers in this case at least

They just didn’t have enough obsidian, so they made the 4x4 portal that doesn’t work.

PLEASE more died, failed videos! Its great!

Oh shit, I saw my LONG Nether bug list in your video that I wrote in the Steam forums of Nether. Man that's 3 years ago. IMHO Nether always lacked from a good development team. The designers did a great job in creating this truly immersive map and these great AI enemies but this game was always filled with too many bugs. So when you talk about why this game died, you have to mention the ridiculous amount of cheaters the community had to face and there was no help from the devs at all - at no time. I played this game until early 2017 when I finally came to the conclusion that I have to move on to something more alive. At least, I left one last footprint: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLyon5ugnM-upZ8.html . I don't believe this game will ever come back but at the same time I hope that at some day someone will remember this concept and will create something similar again. Because even with its limited content, the PVP part was great and kept me playing for 2000+ hours. So besides all the bad things that happened to that game, the designers of Nether had a pretty unique and fantastic vision.

My heart is still broken from what happened with this game.

This video just popped up in my recommended and I'm glad it did! Great video, you've earned a new sub! I had my eye on this game for a while when it was called "Nether: Resurrected" but the reviews put me off. I'm glad I didn't fall into the trap of the game, thanks for the video so I know what I (thankfully) missed!

Even Markiplier played that game. If they would've just made their game better he may have been making more videos of it.

I saw a Seananners video on this games years ago, and it looked pretty cool. And then I didn't hear about it, ever again. Pretty depressing story considering it was a genuinely good concept. Honestly, if the developers are genuinely interested in saving the game, they need to give up on trying to update a game that came out in 2013 with a playerbase that's been dead since 2014. Start fresh and make a Nether 2, take the core idea and gameplay, and soup it up a bit with some new mechanics while addressing some of the major issues the first one had.

Wow I was just wondering what happened to this game the other day. And here’s a video. Awesome.

TL;DR broken game got abandoned right after early access. An all too common story.

This is a great vid! I remember playing nether a LOT when it first came out and I had the same thoughts as you, this games massive potential, but eventually it was stopped updating and I wanted to see a video exactly like this

Oh yeah I remember this game vanossgaming did a couple of videos on it after that never heard anything about it

Oh hey robokast I love running across you every now and again. I remember getting bombarded with friend requests when one of your gmod videos released. I didn't know who you were but everyone told me I was in your videos

Idk why but your videos are so comfortable to watch that I nearly fall asleep.

I remember when all the big youtubers played this but quickly stopped cause content soon ran out

I'm almost ashamed to have supported this game so much back in the day. I gave trial keys to friends, forced my brother to play it with me, and even my girlfriend for a bit who hated it. I just loved the look of it so much. I thought with some additional detail is could have been the best looking survival game out there, with a foreboding and chilling atmosphere. I also really like the Nether designs, though the human models looked terrible. The game ran poorly at all times, unless you turned off ALL the shadows. I remember thinking upgrading my processor would help, but no dice on that. I was so naive, during a time where Early Access was sort of exciting for me, looking forward to game updates. Now the only Early Access game I own that's still "alive" is 7 Days to Die, and I feel like development on that has been much slower than it needed to be. (5 years and the game still feels half complete, but at least it has content)

Bro I've been subbed since around 2016 when you still did UNTURNED (lol) and now you're popping up more than ever before! Full props, man!

A few weeks ago I remembered this game but I couldn't remember the name but when I did see it, it looked fun and didn't know why it got forgotten, but now I understand

I’ve been waiting for someone to do this video, I was also curious!

Wasn't unturned made by one guy, Nelson? I know people helped him make maps, but I think he made it by himself.

Oh yeah, love the background music man always get the feels when I just hear the OST

Good content. Great video. Keep it up. Nice to know opinion on games that I wanted to play, is it worth to waste time or not.

It didn't just die, it was *murdered*

To be fair you compared the Lego blocks that is unturneds assets to unreal engine 3 assets

Just came across you bro love the content, subbed immediately

Man I remember when I was like 13 I saw this game when it was first coming out (think it was close to release) and I was so hyped, was always wanting to play a game like that back then, this just reminded me of the game. Looking forward to seeing how it looks, good thing little me didn’t get it.

I love these kind of videos

Why Robocraft completely failed, please! People should know this story!

this game was so fun, my very first open world survival pvp game. honestly miss this game a ton, had so much fun in it. RIP

KZfaq 2018: 2019: let's recommend this !

0:25 lmao never knew scp 096 was greedy

Yeah, it's games like these that make me cautious with buying early access games. The only one I budged on is Hotdogs Horshoes and Handgrenades, which is a shining example of an early access game done right. The developer is always adding new content and actually listens to feedback about bugs or features the playerbase doesn't like.

The sounds and music that went with the game was awesome..Again those game was one of the first games I bought when I first started gaming in PC..so the same way that the first console games that you played and really loved gives you that nostalgic feeling..well the music to this game does the same for me and that’s why I searched Nether on KZfaq just to hear the music just aonifnidntnhave to download the game..lol.

What I really loved about this game was getting gunned down each time I left a safe zone.

When Nether came out, I played so much with my friends, it was a legitimately good and promising game ! Then the devs saw money and pretty much bailed on the project.

I forgot this game even exisisted. I only remembet Mark playing it.

Every year this game would pop in my head again, yet I just noticed I forgot about it throughout the whole of 2020 and I just remembered it again.

I remember that the atmosphere was the best thing about the game

Ohh the nostalgia.. Fighting for crusader or broken basso. There was no content true, but the player base (hardcore) made our own content I miss grudge matches, and shit talking all round the map! Mastering how to ride the janky bike, Sniping from colossus when the main hub was down! Oh the days before school and employment!

Early Access can work. Factorio for instance is an Early Access game and has been ever since 2013 but the game is not what i would consider unfinished. The game has barely any bugs and has a lot of content. Just a little work on the HUD and i would consider the game finished but the devs are only working on Version 0.18 so i guess they want version 1.0 to be the last version to ever get released so they want it to be perfect

I remember seeing videos about this game being in development but had totally forgotten about it until now. now I see why.

"This single polygon Roblox-looking game had 3 times the amount of items of this High Definition 3D game!" It's almost like it took the developers of this 3D game way more than three times the amount of time to make item models, effects, and program the items into their game. /facepalm "Hey! We need a new Sniper RIfle for Unturned!" **Goes into 3D modeling program. Makes an elongated rectangular prism** "I said sniper rifle!" **Adds a little cylinder-shaped scope on top** "It's perfect!"

Hey dude. Will you make a video on the reboot of The Culling?

Tom Scott is in this video. Didn't expect him in a RoboKast video!

This concept sounds very interesting, I want this to become a mix of unturned, and rust. So if phosphor games is reading this, I think this may be a great idea. We need this to exist.

Holy..Horn (2:35) was my favorite mobile game! I had no idea who made it.. But it was sooo good.. The music,sounds,gameplay.. Even the graphics for a phone were really good! I miss that game .-.

Eventually this video was to come...

NETHER is reborn. It s starting 21 may with different name

Nether was the first example of me getting screwed by an Early Access game. Really colored all Early Access for me, and has kept me from wasting my money numerous times now. Haven't even thought about that game in forever. Great vid.

I remember first hearing about Phosphor Games when had this really fun idea for a game called Project Awakened. Which was a game where you basically created your own superhero in this Infamous-esque world, with the ability to swap out your powers on the fly.

What they should of done all alone was have a base plan set out for how the game would develope and evolve over time, such as for example: "update/patch X adds Y location in this section of the city where XY loot and enemy will spawn, loot tables and greater detailed interiors added in location YX.... etc." They could of made Nether much more that it was already.... If you don't bloody plan, you're bound to fail

I really wish this game worked out I had like 200h on it 😞

Beautiful video, thanks for this information. I hope, one day, in a distant galaxy, far away that the game resurrect!

I remember this game from 2013, wow. This takes me back. I was excited for this, but immediately forgot. Sad to see it today.

We miss the old videos Robo, we need some more Unturned or Garry’s Mod😩😩

That game was okay just the dev's screwed it up royally. I miss that day and night cycle vid of Nether.

I LOVED THIS GAME I wondered why people stopped playing it on KZfaq thanks for the explanation

I randomly thought about this game a few days ago and forgot the name, glad I found this video.

Plz make gmod videos again love those videos

I love nether, ever since I saw it come out back in 2013, it's fantastic, the game isn't good, but the premise, story, monsters and the setting is fantastic, the game is dead, and yes it's a greedy hacker filled pile of doodoo, but when the game first came out in 2013, it was glorious, it was some of the most fun I had on a game, it was a quality game, but now it's just dead and garbage

Oh thank god for this recommendation. I have seen a couple videos abouut this game LONG ago by Rhinocrunch or whatever his dumb name is. For some reason I think about the game randomly but never could place what it was.

Man Nether was so fun for my friends and I. I enjoyed how it spooked me in such an open setting.

I was one of the players that could not play it because of the 32 bit problem..

The comparison with Unturned is dumb. Creating a 3D model for Unturned is way easier than for a game like Nether. Even I could create models for Unturned.

I would love to see a video on the mmo known as Face of Mankind and although you may not have personal experience with it. I would love to see one if there's not already a video out there like this on FoM. While I am keeping my eye on it's spiritual successor. I still think a great game the died could deserve a video like this.

Ive seen several videos like these, its the same story over and over again. Dev greed, dev stops uploading updates, community gets mad with bugs and hackers, only hackers left, bad reviews, game dies

Dude i totally remember markiplier playing this, i watched that shit when i was little, the name sounded familiar!

It looks like a cool concept, and I like the setting also. I wish this game didn't fail.

Randomly stumbled across this, I remember playing the hell out of the game. I am sad it died years ago, I had some nice times with it though.

Do a video on H1Z1 : Just Survive/Classic H1z1

This guy sounds like behind the meme. Huh

Phosphor Games had another game in the works before Nether. I forgot what it was called, but it was one of the early games greenlit by Steam Greenlight. There might be an old video about it on their YT channel.

I know a dude that worked on the game. He did a lot of art assets for the game and hid a ton of our Planetside 2 guildies names in the game. A few inside jokes as well. He was rather angry what they did with the game when they took it away from Phospor. Hes working on Outpost Zero now on Steam.

Damn, imagine having a 32bit OS

I bought this game... Then I got a refund, and Nether looked back.

I love the fifty repeats of, "It didn't die, it was murdered." And, "But I mean the Minecraft nether isn't that bad, lolololol I'm funny right?" Please. Post more of this.

I remember when Seananners, Markiplier, and Vanoss playing this game. It looked extremely fun but I didn’t have a PC at the time. I remember Seananners even played as a Monster.
