True, but the game would be basically unplayable without the locking mechanic. Plus, the softbody physics still drastically change the way the game is played
Great use of Obi Softbody there ;). Would it be ok with you if we featured this video in Obi's official forum? ("made with Obi" section). Keep up the good work!
Please, go ahead! Thanks for reaching out. I'm really enjoying working with your product, the tool is great and you provide amazing support. I highly recommend it!
I wont lie, I watched the video all the way up until the reminder to like/sub, and then when i looked at your sub count, i was shocked. The amount of effort put into this video, I didn't even think twice as to if you were a big youtuber or not. Really awesome work.
@@MiklPickle Legit the video quality is so far above and beyond, I just assumed he was at like 100k~ subs. This guy's gonna go places if he keeps it up!
A bit of constructive criticism if you will: You seem to have arrived at pretty much the same game that has been mentioned a million times in the comments at this point, that being "Not tetris". I would argue this is due to the "locking up" of pieces you described, basically removing the core of the game - soft body physics. I understand that you were trying to make a game out of the videos you saw on RUclips, but you then essentially bailed out of it by all the constrictions given. The choice of not cutting the pieces by a plane to keep the game more rigid was probably one of the few things that could've made the final prodcut retain at least some of the original intended ideology. Obviously you can't make mechanics like Tspins very well since you're working in a non-discrete environment, but the fact that soft-drop is not included feels very weird, since it's just a matter of adjusting the gravity for the currently handled piece. From the constraint of performance issues that you've been present with can also arise a decent idea. Making soft body physics in a 2D environment is much less resource heavy and much simpler to make as well. It would accomodate the original idea neatly while making it both less of pain to make and to run while still keeping the spirit of tetris alive. Who knows, with some clever rendering tricks with some background softbody tiles being tied to the frontground main soft body pieces, you could maybe even achieve a similar feeling 3D effect. All this being said, it was a pretty fun video to watch nonetheless, thanks for the upload!
9:10 well when the pieces lock like that, this doesn't at all resemble the softbody tetris videos! this is closer to Not Tetris, since it's free position/rotation and fuzzy clears (although Not Tetris chops each piece on the clear axis, not nicely into smaller pieces like you do)
I would love an alternative version that had the original bouncyness (where the pieces did not stop moving after landing) You could make the "gap allowance" bigger, to make it be still fun. Or a couple of different "difficulties" where it allows you bigger gaps and each player can choose how easy they want it
Awesome stuff! The lack of grid movement in these softbody animations always reminded me of "Not Tetris" (basically the original Tetris but the pieces don't snap to the grid), so it's awesome to see that together with the softbody physics! Nice job :)
don't worry man, the algorithm is working (at least a bit) I started googling stuff about devlogs a few days ago and this got recommended to me!! loved the idea, editing, everything. cheers!!
Oh my god this is the most underrated channel I've ever seen in my entire life I thought you had millions of subs... WELL THEN, since you don't, I'll subscribe so you're 1 person closer to a million. Great quality vid and game.
It's amazing how much quality can be found in your videos despite your channel size. I think you have great things ahead of you if you keep up what you're doing!
I'm so glad that you're gaining so many subs and views so fast. I know that you have what it takes to make your channel big and successful, because you've already demonstrated it. I love the video about single player chess. I managed hippodrome and four corners in 22 moves, and opposite corners in 18. Perimeter in 39 but I'm sure all of those can be done much more efficiently.
Can't wait to see more, hope your channel booms! I seriously thought you had 1000 times the subscribers and didn't think twice, I misread it at first. Criminally underrated channel!! I'll be checking out that adaptive music video then :D. Really, really cool stuff you've got going here. Oh, and that jelly guy is hilarious to me. Floppy Red as the channel mascot? 😂
Wow, this is such a high quality video I didn't even realize you were such a small channel. Really happy for you that this kinda blew up and I liked and subbed on both my accounts! Keep up the good work man.
When I saw your video/channel/content, I thought you had more than 10k subscribers, but the fact your so small, it’s insane! I got recommended to your channel, so I think you might start getting famous soon…
This is a very well made video you edited this very well, and you explained everything to a reasonable amount. this video deserves to blow up even more.
pretty sure you missed the part in the videos about this that make the Tetris pieces go into their location to fit in place like regular Tetris, thus making them not go in weird angles
Ayo, this guy only has 220 subs??? MY MAN THIS IS AMAZING FOR SUCH A SMALL CHANNEL And as a decently experienced tetris player myself, this is a really interesting version of the game :D
When I seen this the first time I thought It was with like, 500k views but this is SO UNDERRATED! I'm glad recommendations picked up on you, huge guy. Glad to be here In the begining Also sorry for the bad language I'm not from English speaking country
You don't need to rempve rotation completely. Just change the friction between pieces and walls, so they easier fall into places that align them. edit: I think lower friction and higher rigidity along straigt parts.
Perhaps this would improve the game: 1. remove friction between pieces, but have max friction on the ground 2. lock piece orientation once it touches another piece 3. let pieces settle naturally, with no friction it'll form good enough foundation. 4. reduce area to have nearly no gap margins. with no friction pieces will be able to slide into places better.
I think locking the pieces in place was ultimately a good choice even if it took away some of what made the soft bodies special. If you didn't lock them then all of the soft bodies would settle under the weight of the ones on top and you would probably clear rows without putting in any effort at all
I think some sort of magnetised invisible grid for the blocks... or shapely blobs I guess, to very minutely stick to would be pretty useful to prevent wonky behaviour where clearing a line becomes inconvenient, that or perhaps the blobs become more and more rigid towards the bottom, not solid, still slightly bouncy and squishy but not too jelly-like may allow the blobs to form more cohesive patterns.
honestly I feel like most of those mechanics that you avoided adding would've have worked in softbody tetris anyway lmao this is really nice c: and really pretty!
Instead of casting rays to check for blocks for a line completion, you could use a grid system. The tolerance of the line clearing would then be decided by the size of the squares in the grid.
It would be cool if the tetrominoes took a little bit to harden into a locked position; maybe they could be transparent like a gummy bear when they come down but they become opaque as they harden.
i think a fun way to adjust this would be to have them be extra squishy and have alot of play upon landing, but then once at rest (or at ideal 90 degree angles after landing) lose most of their squishyness to become more rigid bodies as opposed to simply locking them into position and creating odd landing angles.
Playing Softbody tetris is a dream come true. :) I enjoyed the game, all though here are a few changes I would make: -Have the tetris bricks bounce a little higher. -Have the already placed tetris blocks react to new blocks, so that one can use blocks to push other blocks and so on. -Let the player control the bricks for a bit longer after they've touched either the ground or another block.
It''s at least better than Tetris 3D for the Virtual boy In all seriousness this is a great game! I've been having a lot of fun with it, and the gamplay is interesting. The two changes I would make are: 1. For tetrimos to not stick to the sides of other tetrimos while you are dropping them, since it will often count the piece as "placed" even though it hasn't touched the ground.This will automatically drop the next piece, removing any further input. 2. There also needs some leeway for when a piece touches the ground for you to "slide," allowing you to move them a few tiles across the ground. This is an important mechanic that is essential for placing pieces under one another. Again, I loved the game a lot. These are just nitpicks from someone who has played a lot of tetris.
Thank you very much! Indeed the game is missing these mechanics (and more, as you probably noticed), I just felt it was enough for me to learn about the topic and to share here with you. But I completely agree, I would need to work on all of those to get it to the next level. Thank you so much for the feedback!
You should look into Not Tetris. It cuts pieces exactly how you describe at around 4:08 and it works just fine, given about a one-block-wide forgiveness threshold.
I've been wanting a real "tetris with physics" or soft-body tetris for a long time, since I saw a demo animation at least 3 or so years ago. Your video was edited really well, and I love the attention you give to explaining the techniques you use and the reasons you design and tweak specific features. I already liked the video pretty early in, but your... plug? I can't think of the term right now, but what I'm referring to is you asking for a like to help with the algorithm. You sound humble, and something about the way you speak, and maybe your accent, just sound really calming to me. At that point in the video you got a sub from me. Thanks for making this game. Keep it up!
The oldest iteration of this idea that I know comes from a obscure 2003 PC game called Triptych. The only footage of the game is around 4 minutes in a video called 'Gish - Designing An Indie Game Cult Classic' but the demo is still available and runs on modern Windows.
I dunno, only cutting the pieces into the squares seems less fun than what Jelly Tetris could actually be. After all, if they can be cut at any angle, they SHOULD form odd shapes. As long as you kept the grace system so lines don't have to be 100% complete it would work. Clear any lines that become 80% full or more, and physically remove them from the board. Since right now you're still using discrete lines they can clear (which the tiles don't always align with) it's extremely limiting what you can do. I would just cast a whole bunch of rays to see what is mostly complete, and treat some number of rays (even if they aren't connected) as a whole "line". Afterall part of the fun of having Tetris pieces made out of jelly is that lots of pieces get smaller and smaller as lines are cleared, and they would naturally fall and fill any gaps in the bottom that a piece might not necessarily fit into.
I feel like the main issue now is that the tetrominos have to much friction. Having less friction would allow the pieces to more easily slide into eachother, like in the C4D4U videos.
I don't know why this was recommended to me, I thought it was gonna be one of those videos of someone not really knowing what they're doing and putting an iffy game together... but looking at the video quality compared to sub count, well lets just say I'm disappointed I wasn't recommended this channel sooner (For anyone in the future he currently has 1.4k subs, this video is crazy high quality considering that fact)
I think this would actually be really cool to play.. I realize this would most likely be a bit easier said than done, but it would be interesting if you added a physics options menu to really customize player experience. I think, generally, just including the softness of the blocks and the "lock hardness" would be really fun to mess around with.

Have you heard of Not Tetris? It's an equally silly idea. Apparently they even made Not Tetris 2, lol
Ik a tetris game thats mixed with physics and you have to stack to a certain height to win
It is
Now try to do a t-spin or stall, it looks impossible given the gameplay shown
This reminds me of another physic-based Tetris game called "Not Tetris"

*Like the new approach they’re taking to not Tetris 3.* But seriously, this is amazing.

You should've had the pieces blow apart into minos once they hit something.
I thing it would look better if you just turn the friction down to make them fit into each other better
