He forgets round walls are not architecture. They're often used to save material and costs, when it comes to resisting pressure on the broad side. They are also required for the strongest shaped structures, and quite heavily so.
They were also only used very rarely, if the castle was built next to a source of flowing water that could be diverted into the moat. Dry moats wear much more common
@@bubbledoubletrouble I mean, the important effect is that it's hard to cross a big gap. Water just helps with that, a dry moat like that is honestly just more effective.
There used to be a game called Stratosphere: Conquest of the Skies in which you would upgrade your flying island with spikes, walls, and other offensive equipment and fly it into other fortified islands. When the islands bashed into eachother they would break up and whoever was closest would pick up the bits to heal and earn more resources to build more defenses. When you showed the flying fortress it reminded me of that game.
As someone who grew up on the countryside I can confirm that I indeed didn't know that wood came from trees until I played Minecraft for the first time.
Doing some left over gingerbread house kits with my kids today. My 13yo was struggling to get his to stay standing. My 7yo told him "Real Engineer" would call him an architect because he can't build a house. My youngest two love watching your videos with me. My 5yo is obsessed with the puzzle games.
@@Aloft_Game Would I be correct in presuming this was inspired by the disasterpiece that was Worlds Adrift? If so, I really appreciate you guys picking up their slack and running with it without the scummy practices!
@@ledumpsterfire6474 Hey there! We have been loosely inspired by the theme of World's Adrift, but Aloft is a very different game. We intend to forge our own path and make a game that is truly original.
14:50 I'm playing this game now, and the island he's on here I took and turned into my ship lol. It's awfully big and unwieldy, but it's meant to be a carrier for all my friends
It's a pretty decent castle, although I'd add a murder house and some machicolations. If I've learned something from Shad's videos, machicolations make castles cooler and more protected.
This looks kinda fun. There is one glaring issue with your battle island fortress, water, there isn't a water source. Might have been a better idea to grab a big island with the waterfall.
I'm fairly certain it's based on a disaster of a game called Worlds Adrift, which was basically an MMO version of this. The developers tried their damnedest to take the money and run with it, suddenly shutting down the servers in the middle of early access, and providing no way to run private servers. One threat of class action lawsuit later (because buying an early access game is buying it in an "as is" state, which it didn't qualify as anymore since it became unplayable), they were finally forced to start issuing refunds. Really glad somebody is picking up the idea. It was a solid idea, just a terrible company.
Matt: finds a perfectly good bridge and decides to destroy it for no reason at all. You were the chosen one! It was said that you’d destroy the architects, not join them!
if matt wasnt such an architect, he'd realize that it makes no sense that the sun is setting, night time is caused by the earth blocking the sunlight from your POV, but there's no earth to do that! theres lore here to uncover
@@RealCivilEngineerGaming i didnt actually respect a reply, but while we're here, an architect wouldnt have taken that so well. it must have been an honest, engineering mistake 👍
Honestly, what I want now is to get an island with all that underneath stuff / hidden pathway accessible only by flying, and put the helm there. It could still see out, but it’s all ninja. Then, more room up top for more gear.
"I built my own moat. Why not, why not?" That sounds dangerously close to architecture. Building things because "why not"?! Matt is succumbing to the dark side!
Fun fact: Very few castles had a moat to deter enemies. Moats were stagnant water, which bought mosquitos and disease. Not only that but they were very expensive upkeep to keep a fresh flow of water. Thats if they had a fresh supply in the first place. So yeah.. Overall. Moats are very.. nope
Mmm, I do love a survival crafting game with mobile bases. Given just how many games you've played, it would be great if you put them in genre playlists as well as in series.
Come to think of it, I believe it was that same video that compelled me to download it. 😝 Not gonna lie, I was a bit underwhelmed when I didn’t get that cartoon anvil sound in the video. Lol.

GO MATT
oh no architects
hopefully none of those things will be won by architects
Day 13 of asking you to play spore
Yeeewees aloft part twooooooo

True, my anti-tect passion got the better of me this time!
Also were used to deflect early age cannonballs.
@@RealCivilEngineerGaming and yet you still hired one to place those stairs? Sus.
@@januszpanusz3636 curved walls were around long before canonballs.
Its almost like he is secretly an architect.
"nothing like a bit of a deforestation first thing in the morning"
That's definitely a morning wood handling innuendo
If I may use a reference form Tmberborn: "Pumping their Log as if their life depends on it".
It is actually insane how he can make every single game so fun and bcz if that i have bought like 20 games because of him he truly is amazing
me too, he should get sponsored more
Watching RCE cost to much money for me 😥
@@mvb02 lol
@@mvb02 me to
Me too. Literally had to download and sign up for steam. Didnt even have steam before him.
I feel like the flying fortess could be hardened even more if it was a more efficient shape. Would help to thrust into battle.
Maybe it's possible to get a second island attached for such purposes?
if it were*
subjuctive case
@@giarnovanzeijl399
And a third island, preferably something very long to put in between.
They were also only used very rarely, if the castle was built next to a source of flowing water that could be diverted into the moat. Dry moats wear much more common
Perhaps it could release some sort of projectile from its tip?
18:47 rounded walls are actually a product of engineering as they are essetially arches on their sides and they also allow for lower wind resistance
That bridge destruction was a real architect moment.
@@bubbledoubletrouble I mean, the important effect is that it's hard to cross a big gap. Water just helps with that, a dry moat like that is honestly just more effective.
@@giarnovanzeijl399 water moats were only used because the attackers had heavy armour so they drowned
@@bubbledoubletrouble True, but that doesn't have anything to do with water in the moat.
I mean, dry moats are a thing.

Can’t find it, is it still possible to play it ?
@@maximebajer6354
really?
just copy and paste "Stratosphere: Conquest of the Skies" into google.
it's from 1998 btw.

6:25 the music sync is amazing
I bet the editor has never been happier for a game update than sound effects in this

Awesome! He's totally right too 😅
Impressive architecture at the end there RCE, you'll be a full fledged architect soon.
It was From the devs
I 100% engineered everything about it, no architecture here!
Wow, this game has developed a LOT since I first ever saw it. Well done developers! =]
Thank you so much 😊

@@Aloft_Game Well, you've certainly got my attention. Thanks for responding!
14:50 I'm playing this game now, and the island he's on here I took and turned into my ship lol. It's awfully big and unwieldy, but it's meant to be a carrier for all my friends
Fun fact. That dog shaped building is a b+b that has no bathroom. There is a port-o-john outside, placed inside of a fire hydrant shaped shed
Well that just makes me love it even more... xD I wanna visiting the dog house! :D
The stairs are an engineering genius placement, as they create a slowing barrier against anyone who breaches the gate.
Not gonna lie, the ability to alter the height/size of what's being built like that is absolutely brilliant.
Good to see there's still progress being made in the development.
It's a pretty decent castle, although I'd add a murder house and some machicolations. If I've learned something from Shad's videos, machicolations make castles cooler and more protected.
This game could very well be what world's adrift could've been. I'm really hoping it turns out to be fantastic. Great video buddy, thank ya!
That castle is INSANE! Mad props for building it!
this is one of those jokes that take ages to prepare but are really worth it, thanks for making this video RCE!
This game is so cool! Can’t wait for the next video!
3:18 That might be the best innuendo I've ever heard! 👏
Rce always manages to uplift my mood and Entertain me through his videos. His games choices and gameplay are top tier 👌 👏

So glad you're back playing this game, such a fun concept, even better player

@@RealCivilEngineerGaming i didnt actually respect a reply, but while we're here, an architect wouldnt have taken that so well. it must have been an honest, engineering mistake 👍
From one Engineer to another. Your castle isn't overboard. It is efficient and robust design. Also corners keep the Architects away
Perfect timing, I just finished watching the demo
This looks a little reminiscent of Worlds Adrift, and I am so here for it.
I haven't found a youtuber more like myself than this silly engineer. Good on ya mate, keep it up.
Super stoked your revisiting a loft!
0:12 that dog building is awesome tho
so happy they sponsored you! great build!
Please play more of this!
0:00 - So basically you're doing a trailer for the sequel to the movie Idocracy, presumably to be called Architectocracy? 😂
Just wait for those videos where Matt tries to go supersonic with his base.
matt you've inspired me to become a mechanical engineer. engineers for life!
I somehow expected the castle to be shaped ... stronger.
He get the castle From devs..
I would love to see the under side of the fortress covered in the float sails. It’s practical, and very very efficient.
Always enjoy a engineer's hardwork!
0:12 Matt! What is Paddy going to think about you calling him architecture! He even has a stick!
I love this game , brings back memories of the the old worlds adrift days.
Awesome castle! It needs some strongly shaped cannons to finish it off. 😝
It's fascinating how much time this madman apparently spends for a 20 minute vid. And let's not forget the editors.
3:58 Do not worry, humanity evolved to include the hardhat in the skull.
RCE: Builds castle
RCE: Sleeps on Roof
Architects=hindrance
Engineer=solution
I loved this vid can u do more
Love it! But if you’re going to call it a Flying Fortress, I think it should resemble a B-17… food for thought!
Nice update and a proper bridge review.
I don't know how but i got this recommended right when you released it 😂
This would make a good new series
Honestly, what I want now is to get an island with all that underneath stuff / hidden pathway accessible only by flying, and put the helm there. It could still see out, but it’s all ninja. Then, more room up top for more gear.
Love the game and the content. Anyone else bothered that he can make the island fall without the floaters. Yet the islands float themselves anyways
I love that: "if you ever played a video game, you know wood comes from trees".....i never heard that irl...who knew 😆
I thought this amazing game died Long ago but im glad this game is alive
I gotta see more of this!!!
That's one dope ass flying castle.
It would have been nice to see parts of the construction of the castle... although the final reveal all at once was impressive.
Nice castle you got there Matt, but it seems to be missing something... Where. Are. Your. MACHICOLATIONS?!
RCE, the building at 0:11 is commonly referred to as "Big Underpants" by the locals here in Beijing. Even they laugh at architects' silly designs.
Please play When Ski Lifts Go Wrong!! It's like Polybridge but with ski lifts and controllable vehicles!
8:05 I can’t believe Matt didn’t notice it at the bottom it says “Destroy the *nodes* to cleanse the island.”
This game seems awesome
My favorite TH-camr for sure
a grass roof? That seems awfully... ARCHITECTURAL! Dun dun duuuu
"I built my own moat. Why not, why not?"
That sounds dangerously close to architecture. Building things because "why not"?! Matt is succumbing to the dark side!
5:21 Snake? Snaaaaaaaaaaaaake?! XD
5:53 Queue acoustic section of Feel Good Inc.
EDIT:
8:30 *Feel Good Inc. intensifies*
Btw I like the intro its very cool keep it up with your good content
Hey, there is sound now, nice^^
Excellent video, nice twist with the castle, hilarious
little did he know. the architects made those island!
"I can eat the clean water" -RCE
Matt's quote of the day
15:20 yeah I also eat clean water 😂
I remember seeing an RCE video when he was at like 50K subs. Seeing him at 1.5M not even that much later is INSANE
Fun fact: Very few castles had a moat to deter enemies. Moats were stagnant water, which bought mosquitos and disease. Not only that but they were very expensive upkeep to keep a fresh flow of water. Thats if they had a fresh supply in the first place. So yeah.. Overall. Moats are very.. nope

You can rotate sails before put them to make it symetrical 😉🙃
I think I liked the BOOSH sound every time you hit something hahah
Nice to see this game back! It really reminds me of valheim in the sky.
Fr
nice
I hope this game is going to be free when it releases, because my parents don't allow me to buy games and this game seems so fun
make bridge review compilation!
It's a patreon exclusive bonus video already! 30mins of bridge reviews...
A NEW BANGER LES GO!
20:28 YOU HAVE MACHICOLATIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Putting architects to good use...as building material!
Love this video
That food system seems very similar to Valheim, which I like
14:37 RCE, we need to cook
7:04 I’m guessing Greta “How dare you” was busy on another meme lol
now since the sails provide more speed, Make a super sonic island
Come to think of it, I believe it was that same video that compelled me to download it. 😝
Not gonna lie, I was a bit underwhelmed when I didn’t get that cartoon anvil sound in the video. Lol.
reminds me of an similiar old game - Project Nomads)))
yes! was gonna say that. A lot of concepts seem identical.
Yes aloft it was a long time ago🤩
Flying castle island let's gooo!
