There's a platforming/puzzle game about the 3D player exploring a 4D world that's in development right now called Miegakure. Definitely check it out

"About 30 quartic meters"
"You mean cubic meters, right?"

Just imagine how shocked the spider is to see a 3D creature, the same way as we'd see anime 2D character in our world
The 4d spider wouldnt be shocked
Its like looking at a peice of paper, you can see everything on it before even entering its plane of existance
A 4th dimentiomal beimg can see everything in our 3 dimentional plane without even entering it, everything

The other end
All at the same time
@@Azillia i feel like it's closer to they can only see sections of our 3d plane at once, not the *entire* universe. in the same way we can't see past the boundaries of our screen/the piece of paper when we look into a 2d plane, a 4d creature would only be able to see a certain amount at once, creating their own sort of "screen".
@@i.minpayne2561 i can draw a zoomed out interpretation of the universe based on current scientific data on a single sheet of paper
So its likely possible that in 4d they cam see our whole universe in 3 dimensions
They can choose to observe our 3 dimensional universe in segments, or all at once
@@AzilliaBut consider, when was the last time you saw a living creature that was only 2 dimensions?
@@Madison_Khya draw something or look at a 2d image
2d means 2 dimentions, so there is only an X and Y axis
No Z axis
4 dimentions goes above 3 dimentions, we just can't imagine what that is because we exist in a 3 dimensional world
So its impossible to actually see what 4 dimensions looks like
i gotta say: an enemy coming in from perpendicular to your plane of perception is quite spooky.

1d brain is kinda accurate since our intuition is often described as linear.
@@bleachigo990 😪
@@Leedramor yes, our way of thinking is linear, thats why we can only operate 2 numbers at the time, and by numbers i mean digits. although our vision is definitely 2 dimensional and our understanding of space is 3D, hmm, that brings something to my mind, our hearing is linear (1D) because we understand soundwaves that comes from one direction, but what about touch, smell and taste?

@@wegner7036 it's doable, just insanely complex, especially with the artifacting and glitching, I've worked on something similar before, but it was a basic scene for a college lecture, but even so it was an absolute pain to code it up, I also had to adjust most of the metrics over and over again till I got a reasonable result, the prof also had to cut down the time for the pre vis just because I couldn't create enough footage for the lecture

With your 1d brain
I can't believe youtube didn't bring me here sooner. I would've absolutely supported the kickstarter had I known. I can't wait to see where this game goes, and to eventually play a finished version!
The ability to rotate through the 4th dimension is interesting, but incomplete. We're still only rotating on a singular axis within that dimension (or rather, we're only rotating that dimension along one of the three possible axes we have in 3D space, specifically the "vertical" axis.)
Eh still counts
its not ment to be a true representation of 4d as 3d beings we cant view 4d what he is doing is he is making it so every time we rotate were seeing a different 3d slice of the 4th dimensional world for example imagine a cube and a 2d being viewing the cube they have the ability to rotate the cube but all they ever see is squares their still viewing the 3d world just seeing 2d slices of it and notice to them its still only x and y no depth even though the 3d has depth you can apply same logic to 4d
Its complete enough to allow the player to see and move to every location in the 4d map, which is good enough for a minecraft like game. Obviously a 4d space game would need more axes.
erm actually 🤓

the fact that you did the 4d calculations without a 4d world to base the 3d 'cross-section' off. Actually insane
Time
@@HTFFanOfFlaky common misconception. time is a temporal dimension, separate from the 4th spatial dimension. you can say time is the "4th dimension" only in the sense that we currently reside in 3-D space and an extra dimension of time. Not the same as 4-D space
@@TYGR2115 could there then be additional temporal dimensions? That would be rad af, but I would have not the slightest idea, how that would function
@@dimitree7543 well that's a very, very loaded question that even our smartest string theorists have been struggling to answer. From what I understand, 2D time would basically allow for time travel. Consider that we have 1D time, which clearly puts the past behind the present, and the present behind the future in a chronological number line. If you were to add a second dimension, making a time plane, that would allow you to loop back to the past, opening up Pandora's box to all sorts of paradoxical dilemmas. To keep things simple, I would sidestep all that craziness and simply apply multiverse theory or different rates of time (how "fast" time passes) as the extra dimensions of time. One sec, lemme grab a link to share, it's a good example.
@@TYGR2115 Wouldn't that plane still forbid actual time travel and instead you would go to a point in time in a universe that is an exact copy of ours and you disappear from your own timeline. Could there be a possibility that that plane also has an axis and you just jump to a parallel copy with no time shenanigans involved?
Scrap what this comment said, my brain still doesn't work, when it gets to this level of complexity XD
This is easily the best description and visual aid/animation for 2D, 3D and 4D transitions and space that I have ever come across. Excellent video!
This is FASCINATING... and kind of a great example of 4D vulnerability. It's weird how I can *just* kind of see myself navigating a world like that with some practice.
You're doing it now. Only thing I that's missing is your 4D dial.
Now I'm stuck here imagining a 2D character trying in vain to get all of a 3D wood block by taking infinitely thin 2D slices out of it
*thinks nervously*
ahhhhhh this actually kinda helped me figure the 3d to 4d comparison out. instead its like "imagine this 3d idiot trying to sit there and mine an infinite 4d wood block in separate realities"
Oh that's why the 4D spiders are infinitely big... or is it?
@@jalen8r Or think about this; a 2D character digs into a 3D wall to get away from a 3D spider
The hole has length and width, but no depth. Now me, as a 3D spider, can't follow because I have depth and can't fit. In fact, I can't even see the hole because it's 0 inches wide from my point of view. Not just 1 x 10^-999999... inches wide, literally NO inches wide
I’m pretty sure you still mine the whole 4D block. But you just see a 3D slice of it disappear. And when you place it back down you still only see a 3D slice.
Well, now I feel a little bit awkward knowing that a 4d being could actually see *through* me effortlessly.
And it can be horror as no matter what shelter you have they can just walk through it and can attack you from side's you can't see or know of they would be attacking you from the inside it would be weird something that is non comprehensible
@@landynbrinyark718 Actually as you see in the game you *could* build a 4 dimensional shelter but it takes exponentially more resources and planning
@@tpower1912 Yeah ik but imagine the horror mechanics that could go into a game like let's say your a 3d being but a 4d being is chasing after you it be a cool system but I don't think this game is meant to be a horror game.

You should probably start by trying to see a full 3D object first, like say a sphere for starters
Same, stuff like this is what makes me stay awake at 2am
Toroidal field
With the 2d character in the 3d world, rotating 90 degrees in 3d shows a hidden slice of the 3d world. Rotating another 90 degrees shows the origional slice but flipped, etc.
With the 3d character in the 4d world, rotating 90 degrees shows a hidden slice of the 4d world. Rotating 90 degrees again shows the origional slice of the 4d world, but flipped.
This means instead of one 3d world, there is now two 3d worlds, offset by 90 degrees in the 4th dimension. A 4th dimensional being in a 5 dimensional world, would see a 4d world. There is now another 4d world rotated 90 degrees on the 5th dimension.
Is we, a 3d character, would be able to see up to four 3d worlds, and 4 flipped 3d worlds.
I'm literally just a random nobody person. But I think the closest thing to imagining it is if your vision suddenly changed to a kaleidoscope (not sure if that's correct) type view where you constantly saw hundreds of versions of what could be in front of you. That wouldn't be realistically correct from a fourth dimensional point of view of what's actually happening but for us I think it's how our mind would perceive it. I'm very open to new points of view that's just what I've been able to deduce we would perceive with how we perceive things typically
You're actually a genius with this. It really is all about the lense of perspective
i love it, i always been interested by the concept of dimensions, and this video helps me a lot to understand more it, never seen a game made like this, hope it work.

Of all the 4d explanation videos, this one actually got me to understand it the most.
same
I get the concept, but I still don't know wtf the 4th dimension actually is. I can totally wrap my mind around the 2d to 3d thing... but still don't understand what 4d would be in our reality. The game cleverly overlays 2 worlds and allows you to cycle through it but what does in mean in our world? Just an alternate existence that we can't see? Ghosts?
@@Aerational No, I believe it's the planes of existence that we merely can't interact with and vice versa.
What the 4th dimension actually is for "us" in reality is time. We're limited by our ability to move backwards and forwards but also exit our space curvature. If M theory is true, the ability of a 5th dimensional being would be multi dimensional. Meaning they could move through both time and space between spaces that're physically static to us.
The concept mind you of a 4D space in a video game is merely adding "extra space you can't see" by extending your horizon of movement with a "different axis" meaning with this given ability you can move through "3D space" like a "4D being", you still can't actually exist in 4D space because that would break you out of the 3rd dimension into whatever it looks like beyond..3D space wouldn't make sense in 4D.
We look like we're in a transparent box to them. They can see through the box...they can also see us as we do stuff back and forth like a play/rewind. Our string of reality is linear, it changes along it's route but what is is and what is will always be and have been.
Beyond that for us are possibilities endless both great and terrible. Hopefully our sliver is a Goldilock universe.
Just to add, I have personally held theories on this matter. For example, everything you do changes reality, you just never witness it.
I also believe that we die many times through our lives but we exist in the universe where "it never happened"...Not sure if it's fate like a roulette wheel or based in some higher structured gambit. Your willpower and actual doings are what changes your reality. We will exist in the same reality together for a time, but I will not be the same person typing this to you in the same space time after the fact.
I will be the same person having remembered this etc- but on some cosmic level, the universe we're at right now as I write this has split countless times already over. It's mind boggling if you actually think about infinity...
@@Aerational The somewhat demoralizing answer is, you cannot. Our physiology has not evolved to view in higher dimensions. So, the only way to visualize it is analogy to the 2d creature in a 3d world. Also, it is not 2 3d worlds overlapping. It is infinitely many 3d worlds, specifically uncountably infinite. Compare this with the 2-d creature in the 3-d world, where each possible orientation gives a new world completely distinct from each other.
@@Aerational Theoretical physicists believe math shows the possibilities of a fourth dimension, but there's no actual evidence yet, maybe the reason we fail to understand the 4th dimension is simply because it doesn't exist, outside of math, maybe we will have more answers in the future.
One thing I’d recommend checking out is a book titled, “The Boy Who Reversed Himself” by William Sleator. It’s a children’s/young adult book, but it also explains 4d space from the perspective of a 3d person, and what happens when you get lost in a 4d world.
this is, and im not exaggerating, one of the most fascinating things ive seen this year. at least for me as someone very easily intrigued by anything 4 dimension. great work, HUGE kudos to you. happy 2024!
The little 2d guy in the 3d world is already a pretty solid concept for a game I think. Imagine a co-op game where you're playing as an observer of a 3d world trying to help the other player navigate and solve puzzles from a 2d perspective of that 3d world
It's kinda similar but you should check out the game perspective, I think you'd like it

Actually our vision is already 2D, and the monitor is actually 3D because it has some depth
"You'll never be able to see the whole creature at once" that's prime horror directing
If Lovecraft knew of it, you'd bet he'd write a cosmic horror story about it
It's actually true for anything you see. You can't see any entire 3D object, because one half of it will be facing away from you. You can, however, see an entire 2D object. and a 2D entity could see a 1D object. This means that a 4D entity could see *all* of you!

You should rotate to a direction of 90 degrees(shown by your 4d compass) so that you can view the stereo graphic projection of a whole area in a 2d plane, so that way you can cover all the holes that the 4d spider is getting in, I learned this on 3blue1brown quaternions video :D

Even creepier than that. In the same way that you can see the inside of a 2d circle on a piece of paper, a 4d being would be able to see into you. And the same way you could grab a 2d apple out of that 2d circle without breaking the sides, a 4d being would be able to reach into your stomach without breaking the skin. It wouldn't even need to be malicious. It could mess you up just by walking around, the same way you can walk through a spiderweb without seeing it first.

The words on your shirt would be backwards and you would have to re learn all your sensory inputs because the ear thats been on the left side of your head your whole life now hears people on your right.
I think these creatures are from 5th dimension, because they can see through the 4th dimension
@@azrael6280 We are 3d beings in a 3d universe with time so a 3.5d universe, I guess? If we as 3d beings can navigate a 3d universe then we are not 4d because 4d beings would be bigger than the universe itself, just as a 4d being in a 4d universe would not be 5d beings as they would be bigger than the 4d universe itself.
This is probably the best description of the 4th dimension Ive ever seen

I feel like most of us learn that in kindergarten lol. MAYBE first grade.
the 2D in a 3D world explanation sounds like a fun game too. i could imagine something like teraria style, in a 3D minecraft world. That would also help to understand the rotation system, before playing 4D minecraft
there is a game like that: FEZ :)

Hello random game dev commenting on a video about the 4th Dimension
Can't wait to see how extremely chaotic multiplayer will be with players coming out of nowhere
THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING TAKE ON 4D I HAVE EVER SEEN AMAZING JOB DUDE!
This is definitely something I'm keeping an eye on.
this is one of the best visualizations of why 4d looks weird
3d looks weird from 2d point of view
5d looks weird from a 4d point of view
Fuck klein botle im on this
100d looks weird from a 99d point vie-
Damn if you're ever slightly off angle in the 4th dimension for whatever reason, it would totally destroy your ability to properly navigate the 3D world and ever re-orient yourself back into the 3D space you were familiar with. It would be like trying to unmix liquids. That would be a devastating prank for a 4th dimensional being to pull, just grab you and slightly turn you in the 4th dimension and shatter your entire perception and interaction with reality.
You just described a DMT trip😅
@@PsilocyBramlmao
U could probs see inside some peeps
Lol
Nah 4th dimensional being live in a world where they see and move in all 4 at the same time. What you’re talking about is a 3D being moving through a 4D world
This is truly amazing. Great work. I played your demo version on Steam and one thing I noticed is the 4D rotation speed is pretty slow, even on the max setting. As an example, if you press CTR+R to realign and then place an exotic looking block in front of you and then start rotating 4D it will take almost forever to get back to the aligned position where you started. Have you considered making the 4D rotation steps larger. That way it would make more sense I think. Also the 4D rotation seems to be dependent on the looking direction of the player which makes things even more confusing. But maybe this is all intentional and I simply can't grasp the concept of this strange game....
*Laughs in unlocked scroll wheel.*
But seriously though, it is rather slow. I'd love to see a modifier key(s) that would allow us to increase or decrease the 4D rotation sensitivity.
This was amazing! Incredible job. I do physics and it's always hard trying to visually understand what the 4rth dimension looks like. With this game you give a perfect representation!
Very good job man!
I'd pay good money for a puzzle game that incorporates that 2D character in a 3D world mechanic.
tbh same, you could make such cool horror games using that
fez is kind like that
if anyone does this lmk too ;)
It exists, it is called orthorobot and it is free
FEZ is pretty much that
You explained Flatland better in 2 minutes than reading the book ever did.
Yes, a visual representation is easier to understand than a 139 year old book
No shit a proper visual representation is much clearer than a book
@@haotatyanracist
lol that's partly cause flatland is like 20% mathematics and 80% poking fun at rich people who send their children to boarding schools
@@TeacupTSaucerorit was British vs British basically
this is art...thank you for this value!
If anyone is still confused explained very simple it's like the entities have access to all the 4d blocks and parts of the world but you can only have some access at a time of those blocks
This would be insane if it was made in VR, so you technically play as a 3D character in a 4D world
I've been saying it for a while too. Or better yet a 3d holographic projection of a tesseract
fucking throw up simulator
that's a lot of headaches
@@bibsp3556 that would just be a cube would'nt it?
@pradyumnbisht4077 perhaps, but you could rotate it through a 4th dimension and see how changes look as a 3d object instead of a 2d one
This has just unlocked a new concept of thinking I believe I will carry throughout the rest of my life.

This looks a really interesting and educational game! PvP could be a lot of fun. I'd like to see an analogy for the 4d glasses in the 2d example... Is it a projection of the items and mobs into the line of sight?
Sir, please continue to make video games. Your use of them to convey vague metaphysical concepts visually is both insightful educationally, but also they look like they're a breath of fresh air into video games
I like how the hyperspiders, because they need to approach you in all 4 dimensions, gradually get easier to see as they closer to you, since they pass through your 3d slice of the world more and more, meaning it isn't completely unfair to the player.
Yes, I like how the unfairness caused by not being able to see the 4th dimension is solved
Calling it now: the _"imagine a fourth dimensional being dragged you into it's world and gave you a magic dial to better your chances at survival"_ explanation will be the main story of the full game. And that entity- or something like it- is the game's equivalent of Minecraft's Ender Dragon, and the final boss of the game.
imagine dropping that dial in a pool of lava lmao
would love to see that
And you could make it hop from plane to plane making it harder to hit
That looks great! I'm very curious about the kind of code you had to work with to achieve this result. And though I don't think this could achieve Minecraft-levels of popularity, with some polish 4D Miner could achieve a small success!
The mastery of the concept of 4D you must have had to create this is crazy.
This looks like it'd make for a pretty incredible survival horror game
No seriously, all it needs is a good narrative and a spooky scary skeletons
@@Eniramos619skeletons are fun, but you could make something exponentially more horrifying in a game like this with such unpredictable mechanics
The artistic potential of this game should not be underestimated
Give this guy a Nobel Prize? I mean seriously... Programming the first actual 4D world, That's Nobel Prize Worthy.
After playing and being fascinated with “5D Chess,” this is a logical next step. Amazing work on this fascinating approach to a 4D game played in 3D!
4D Chess is already a nightmare...
For the sake of my sanity lets say 2D chess only has 100 spaces, 3D chess would have 1000, 4D chess 10,000 and 5D chess 100,000.
Few people have the will to count that high let alone form complex strategies based on the current information, games could last days or weeks and the minds of it's best players would be over specialized to the point of hardening. If I were forced to learn this I'd need therapy after the first 20 minutes.
@@NoSubsWithContent no brain?
@@NoSubsWithContent I think he means the time travel chess game but this is waaaay funnier

Yeah, but those two games are taking a different approach in the different dimension thing. While 4d Minecraft is about a different spacial, dimension 5d chess is about time. Somethig like that

The most comprehendible explanation of the fourth dimension I have ever seen. Truly, if ever there were a video more deserving of a like it must only exist in the fourth dimension.
I am extremely protective of my TH-cam recommendations, and usually anything I find interesting but don’t want to see more of is removed from my history in an effort to control what the algorithm shows me. This video, however, is definitely going to stick around in my history.
yooooooo!! This is actually amazing! I like thinking about 4d because I solve 4d Rubik's Cubes, but I've always been a huge fan of Minecraft, and thought about making a game like this. Fantastic job!

What's a 4D Rubik's cube?
I struggle to imagine how much memory it takes to store all those 4D voxels. Or are you only storing diffs of the blocks that the player has placed or removed?
No wonder the render distance it's so low
I think it'll just save the changed blocks, the rest is a seed so unchanged blocks are worthless data
@@matthewcaffee2125 Oh, so my idea of doing that for a procedurally generated game is not unique unfortunately.
@@Mo_Mauve no ideas unique, just a question of which is best executed
@@Mo_Mauve i think minecraft itself does that, just saving the chunks you change not blocks.
