This looks like my private UED project, i get the same graphical looks (Although i getting way better FPS then that), and have about the same development time. Only difference, i started last week using UED for the first time, and i actually have no utter idear what i'm doing, and figuring things out takes hours if not days, and glad i just saw how to make speedy roads and a pivoting door, THNX for the tutorial, saves alot of time actually searching for such tutorials. Whole Dreamworld feels to me as a utter n00b learning project to UED, like mine, but they sold as a game, as to anyone elses that never will be put to public, nor leaves said persons computer, as its just that, a practice project to learn
the "fix" was nothing working, The dreamworld uses a free asset, called Easy Build System they even failed to change the default icons the plugin uses, and you can't just add your BP in that, this is like attaching wheels on a car with superglue and calling yourself a mechanic

Most people spend WEEKS and MONTHS building stuff in the engine if they are making custom original games. If you make a custom game, its alot of work involved. This game reminds me of ET which they buried down in the rubbish dump because it wouldn't sell. The Arena was the worst thing I thought about this game. i think that's the only original thing they made in the whole map.
ET sold really well for its time. ATARI did burry games but it was not just ET games they try to burry in secret many games in attempt to empty their warehause
@@paradoxzee6834 The fans that brought the ET game got upset with the developer because the game was bad but the game was also buggy... Unless you knew how to get around all the glitches in the game the ET game was just unplayable. I don't think updating Dreamworld is going to improve much. So the fixes only take someone who knows what they are doing just a couple of minutes to implement. How can it take hundreds of hours of time between 4 people just to do these quick 2 minute updates?. Reminds me of what I put in my own dialog in my own project:. "Skynar: Well speaking of uniform, I'm hoping the glow of my uniform will scare off the enemy so I won't be attacked. They will know I'm a no attack zone. Storm: Huh? That doesn't make any sense to me Skynar, You're all lit up like the Telorian Globas Worms. They can see you a mile away with bad flickering. If the fans start going full blast, you know Skynar is coming." Rex: Let me know when you get the blue screen. I like to be informed. I did put that into the dialog of my game. So are the fans already going full blast on people's machines when people are playing Dreamworld when there's only about 3-4 people online?
@@germanslice honestly dude, you don't even need to know what you're doing. i'm gonna be honest, i could probably find a tutorial for literally each of these things they want to do online and then just implement it myself
@@germanslice I have a lot of respect for the developer of ET. Was it a good game? No. Was it developed in 36 days to make the holiday rush, on a videogame console that didn't have enough onboard memory to store this sentence? Yes.
Everything I have seen in this game is less than 20hrs of work total. Adding the multiplayer minimap is trivial, maybe about 30 minutes. This seems like literally one kid learning UE for the first time.
The funniest part is that, if I remember correctly from the week I spent playing around in UE4, there's literally a better door implementation in the in-engine tutorial that they could've copied.
Yeah, another dreamworld series while waiting for Earth2 update. I hope community effort like this can help cleaning the environment of gaming community from these kind of scam.
@@XraynPR Yeah, in term of damage Earth 2 is more toxic. people got scammed in Dreamworld can be identified as Gamer, but Earth2, its mixed with a bunch of people trying to get rich quick without effort, even effort for doing proper due diligence and think rationally.
7:00 I designed some maps for TTT on garrysmod a while ago (it uses the source engine with an own editor) and making doors is like 2 minutes the first time you try it out. After that it takes a few seconds to make them. And the engine makes it work. How could they mess that up?
This was hilarious to watch, really like when you're losing it a little there, thanks for making me laugh with you there. I might check out other Dreamworld videos, and part of me wishes that E2 had something similarily playable as well just so I could see you take that apart in such a fashion as well. :-D
Great video as always! Would really enjoying seeing videos with you explaining some elements of game design, you have a great way of talking through steps.
Hey man, never heard of you before but I'm impressed at your levelheaded approach and how you provide evidence to us laymen. Keep it up, scammers need to be held accountable, ESPECIALLY if they're scamming children.
With detailed breakdowns like this including you actually doing what they attempted to implement either equivalently or better makes me wish you had a higher sub count, you really deserve more exposure. For the area of YT you've decided to go into you really to put out better quality videos with a lot more fact checks than the average person in your area, keep up the good work, can't wait to see the next one
You can tell they jumped into Unreal with no tutorials, no practice concepts, and no knowledge whatsoever for even basic map design. Like what the hell, it takes a 5 second search to find hundreds of video tutorials on youtube.
This was great video man, gave a new perspective as you were building yourself the update within the studio. reminded me analytic workflows i built with alteryx in the past when manipulating data. more of this please!
I didn't know that unreal engine had a labview interface, that's kinda neat. Still embaressing on dreamworlds part lol, I could make their doors and sidewalks in unity effortlessly lol. I shouldn't feel like I as a hobbyist can do better then the people who raised tens of thousands of dollars to make the most ambitious game in history in 5 minutes lol
I built a fully functioning f16 mod, with animations, code for vtol vr I’m around 250 hours with no prior knowledge of unity, c#, or modelling. Plus I’m old as lucifer. Keep the pressure on
You see Callum, it took them so long because they don't have any concept of how blueprints work and their little minds take so long to process a simple interactions system.. Great video as always!
It's "games" like dreamworld that make me, a self-taught intermediate-level developer, confident that no matter how shite of a job I do of things, there are still worse "games" out there.
You have no idea how bad it gets out there. I also get an amazing amount of catharsis out of stuff like this. Similar to watching Cops; "thank god that isn't me and I guess I'm not so bad after all."
I can't even imagine the amount of work needed to even make their build stable. This guy dug is own grave, but can't just admit and apologize or the backers will eat his lunch money. He needs to declare bankruptcy.
Okay but they promised ridiculous size and scale, and instead cant handle making a tiny candyland walking simulator with 10 fps. Mobile mmorpgs have done far more with less. They can’t make a simple game, yet they promised a million people online at once. I still think they are entirely scam artists, and had no intention of reaching that.
i'm tired as hell because i've been cramming all night and thought you were referring to one of the devs as "dug", as in "this guy, dug" and wondered who the fuck dug was before remembering you're supposed to read an entire phrase and not stop randomly I'm passing my finals to become a librarian by the way
Now I'm imagining Bob Ross doing game dev tutorials; "we'll put a little tree here and another one beside it because every little tree needs a friend...now we'll do the gibbing and gore effects where we'll blow the devil out of our little NPCs..."
When you place a door down in this "game" and interact with it: You spin me right 'round, baby Right 'round like a record, baby Right 'round, 'round, 'round You spin me right 'round, baby Right 'round like a record, baby Right 'round, 'round, 'round
@@ReverendUncleRuckus I only typed half. I copy pasted the lyrics because I can never guess them correctly. And if you dont like my silly little joke, good for you, we all have our own tastes Have a nice day
This is a fantastic format. Read update - discuss what it means - replicate it yourself in engine. You're teaching the community what to look out for and keeping it interesting and engaging. Great video, I'd love to see more like this.
7:38 "This is the laziest implementation of a door I have ever, ever seen". This is one of my favourite lines on youtube not related to a ghost hunting show.
Mind sharing a ghost hunting quote? My favorite ghost hunting moment was the time a group set up EMF outside during a thunderstorm, and were amazed that there was, in fact, electrical energy.
Let's not forget the 300 second timer they put in to make it look like someone new was logging into Dreamworld to attempt to make it look popular than it will never be.
They have no experience with Unreal, the entire DreamWorld looks like a weekend project from a first-semester undergrad student. It's like one of those people that want to try game development for the first time but don't want to start simple and build upon it, they want an MMO as a first project, the most challenging type of game to develop, right now they are glueing assets on the go and hoping people eat them and shut the fuck up.
tho legally they can just run with the money kickstarter is full of disclaimer saying you invest at your own risk and you cant take legal action if something goes wrong and that why you should pay close attention to what you are founding, and a game without a in game trailer or maybe a working alpha (even if not playable yet by the backers) is the minimum imo
7:14 the door looks like the same texture used on old roughed up car body panels (hood,trunk,fenders,etc) from that other procedural generated game The Long Drive
Given a couple weeks, with only the free assets Epic has given away and things that are just free utilities...even a beginner ue4 user could make something better than this with zero coding and only a basic understanding of the blueprints ststem. I've only been playing around in unreal for a couple months and I understand more about it than these geniuses did in like, a year, they're con artists and not even good ones
"Something will happen" The government doesn't care about scammers Callum. Not in the USA. It only cares if they are scamming the rich. I think the best you can hope for is that word of this will get out to their funders and they will stop sending money.
9:00 I understand this is a speed run so only posting this for programmers below. DO NOT CAST ON TICK OR OVERLAP! if you need a reference to anything. make it happen on begin play or a function that is called elsewhere. store the reference of the item in a variable and call that for all your checks. For this, I would create a BPFL (Blueprint Function Library) which would have a function to get the player pawn, and send down its reference which would then be stored locally. this would allow multiple game objects to use this code without the need to rewrite it every time. Casting can be expensive!
Me taking notes on door implementations for my own hobby game..... "Oooooooooh! That's how it's done" -nods- Edit: I had been trying to do all door movement implementation in blender and transfer it into unreal without success.... I was following a turorial.... but this seems to be a much better way of doing it....
I would laugh, but I once tried to make a ball-rolling puzzle game in Unity Engine and the results were laughable. Granted I was paid £0.00, which is roughly $0.00.
keep it up callum I love that you know more about game design than these two clowns.... its embarrassing how easy it was to setup a properly working door
Wow, their BUYING assets now instead of just using free ones? Huh...an improvement??? Nahh... As someone loves working in the Unreal Engine. Specifically, implementing my own art assets, this entire shitshow this hurts my soul. This really is not hard to do. You just have to know what your doing.
The lack of effort put into the game is extremely odd, even for a scam. It's almost as if they have no interest whatsoever in gaming or game development, and can't even be bothered to follow a couple RUclips tutorials. I'm not even a game developer, nor ever plan to be, yet I still watch tutorials because I have a general interest in gaming.
Imo they never planned to release a full game. Hence the loophole about not having to deliver a full game, just an alpha to backers. Now the medie attention got so big, they have to deliver cause their faces are all over the internet, no chance to just slink away with the money. But maybe that's all just suspicion. Maybe they ARE that stupid. Who knows 🤷
On one hand I understand that a week's progress can sometimes (or even often) not amount to not a lot to show, like I don't think anybody would be hyped up hearing "oh yeah guys, we just refactored our audio library integration". But that's the kinda stuff you really ought to know after _all those years of experience as a programmer_ so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Like, I remember Notch doing his "seecret friday updates", but I still think that's far from what you should realistically aiming for; after all, even those faded out once the feature list got too complex. If this was a genuine project (and that's a big fucking "if") I'd be happier with monthly updates and knowing that in the mean time they get shit done. Y'know, kinda like the actually good early access games do it.
they are not lazzy.. they are scamming. A lazy person still know how to do whatever they are not doing. A scammer pretend to know how to do something he does not know.
I've made more playable games from the Unreal Editor back when I was 16 years old, 10 years ago. I'm calling it now, next week we will have working doors as they franticly copy what you coded in this video.
I just want to mention again: A guy created a diablo clone in one week! And now look at the "great dreamworld team" again and see what the "did" after two weeks....
That's not very interesting as tons of people have been caught buying pc games and then going into the pictures and changing them to something else and calling it a new game. If they did a 24 hour livestreams of them coding from scratch I eould.eatch that.
@@azinyefantasy4445 I know and maybe that is the case but like I said before: it doesn't matter because it works at least. Even if all is copy-paste and just here and there a change it's more work than what dreamworld took to make it.
Thanks for the breakdown of all this! I wasnt aware of this latest "early access" asset flip scam, and the programmer/designer knowledge is very cool. Big sub from me my man, wish I could like this more than once lol
When I opened Unreal to have a play (I'd never really used game design software before) I'd already created a working, sliding, animated, reactive to players door within like... an hour?
80 hours a week would also mean they are overworking people which would also be bad. Overworking your employees is also morally wrong. Thankfully it's obvious they didn't actually work 80 hours. LOL
Hopefully we keep getting updates on this garbage. I want to see what happens in some months lmao.

ATARI did burry games but it was not just ET games they try to burry in secret many games in attempt to empty their warehause
@@paradoxzee6834 The fans that brought the ET game got upset with the developer because the game was bad but the game was also buggy... Unless you knew how to get around all the glitches in the game the ET game was just unplayable.
I don't think updating Dreamworld is going to improve much. So the fixes only take someone who knows what they are doing just a couple of minutes to implement.
How can it take hundreds of hours of time between 4 people just to do these quick 2 minute updates?.
Reminds me of what I put in my own dialog in my own project:.
"Skynar: Well speaking of uniform, I'm hoping the glow of my uniform will scare off the enemy so I won't be attacked. They will know I'm a no attack zone.
Storm: Huh? That doesn't make any sense to me Skynar, You're all lit up like the Telorian Globas Worms. They can see you a mile away with bad flickering. If the fans start going full blast, you know Skynar is coming."
Rex: Let me know when you get the blue screen. I like to be informed.
I did put that into the dialog of my game.
So are the fans already going full blast on people's machines when people are playing Dreamworld when there's only about 3-4 people online?
@@germanslice honestly dude, you don't even need to know what you're doing. i'm gonna be honest, i could probably find a tutorial for literally each of these things they want to do online and then just implement it myself
@@germanslice I have a lot of respect for the developer of ET. Was it a good game? No. Was it developed in 36 days to make the holiday rush, on a videogame console that didn't have enough onboard memory to store this sentence? Yes.
@@AjaxGb 36 days, that's not long.
was it written in assembly code
Everything I have seen in this game is less than 20hrs of work total. Adding the multiplayer minimap is trivial, maybe about 30 minutes. This seems like literally one kid learning UE for the first time.
The funniest part is that, if I remember correctly from the week I spent playing around in UE4, there's literally a better door implementation in the in-engine tutorial that they could've copied.
Yeah, another dreamworld series while waiting for Earth2 update.
I hope community effort like this can help cleaning the environment of gaming community from these kind of scam.
@@XraynPR Yeah, in term of damage Earth 2 is more toxic. people got scammed in Dreamworld can be identified as Gamer, but Earth2, its mixed with a bunch of people trying to get rich quick without effort, even effort for doing proper due diligence and think rationally.
@@fatewalker4341 I fear the day when actual game companies adopt that model, and some will ...
Thats our goal!
@@fatewalker4341 wait, where did my comment go?
What's so depressing isn't even these scammers, it's the people who buy all in and believe them
7:00 I designed some maps for TTT on garrysmod a while ago (it uses the source engine with an own editor) and making doors is like 2 minutes the first time you try it out. After that it takes a few seconds to make them. And the engine makes it work. How could they mess that up?
lol, love the dev speedrun. Great content, keep up the goodwork man.
This was hilarious to watch, really like when you're losing it a little there, thanks for making me laugh with you there. I might check out other Dreamworld videos, and part of me wishes that E2 had something similarily playable as well just so I could see you take that apart in such a fashion as well. :-D
Great video as always! Would really enjoying seeing videos with you explaining some elements of game design, you have a great way of talking through steps.
Hey man, never heard of you before but I'm impressed at your levelheaded approach and how you provide evidence to us laymen. Keep it up, scammers need to be held accountable, ESPECIALLY if they're scamming children.
With detailed breakdowns like this including you actually doing what they attempted to implement either equivalently or better makes me wish you had a higher sub count, you really deserve more exposure. For the area of YT you've decided to go into you really to put out better quality videos with a lot more fact checks than the average person in your area, keep up the good work, can't wait to see the next one
i really wish more people would show exactly how long things should take and exactly how its done correctly.... fantastic job
You can tell they jumped into Unreal with no tutorials, no practice concepts, and no knowledge whatsoever for even basic map design. Like what the hell, it takes a 5 second search to find hundreds of video tutorials on youtube.
Love the intro edits in this one
Dreamworld developers are going to use this video as a tutorial.
god i hope so....
I imagine them watching this video :
"Wait, wait ! How did he do this door thingie again ?"
I lost my shit at the intro, best laugh I’ve had in a while
If every I decide to learn coding and start a Kickscam for a game, the "team" will be called Togglebox Studios.
Yay!
Hire me! I'm an artist IRL, and not a digital one. I have never programmed or coded anything in my life, so I'm qualified, yes?
This was great video man, gave a new perspective as you were building yourself the update within the studio. reminded me analytic workflows i built with alteryx in the past when manipulating data. more of this please!
callum over here making tutorials for the Google, Facebook, Apple engineer 🤔😆
This is inspiring me to start learning Unity again. Just for funsies - you won't see me running a kickstarter soon.
6 hours. God i cant wait
New GOTY haha
I didn't know that unreal engine had a labview interface, that's kinda neat. Still embaressing on dreamworlds part lol, I could make their doors and sidewalks in unity effortlessly lol. I shouldn't feel like I as a hobbyist can do better then the people who raised tens of thousands of dollars to make the most ambitious game in history in 5 minutes lol
they call it bleuprints and it is a fully node based c++ its incredible!
@@CallumUpton one of them must of stumbled across it
I love that actual developers are calling them out for their shadiness. Makes this much more interesting lol
I love how you use the Blueprint as well, instead of C++, shocking development updates, Blueprint is *so easy*.
I built a fully functioning f16 mod, with animations, code for vtol vr I’m around 250 hours with no prior knowledge of unity, c#, or modelling. Plus I’m old as lucifer. Keep the pressure on
You see Callum, it took them so long because they don't have any concept of how blueprints work and their little minds take so long to process a simple interactions system.. Great video as always!
It's "games" like dreamworld that make me, a self-taught intermediate-level developer, confident that no matter how shite of a job I do of things, there are still worse "games" out there.
You have no idea how bad it gets out there.
I also get an amazing amount of catharsis out of stuff like this. Similar to watching Cops; "thank god that isn't me and I guess I'm not so bad after all."
@@cosmiccoffee8497 HAHA gonna keep this in mind from now on
I can't even imagine the amount of work needed to even make their build stable. This guy dug is own grave, but can't just admit and apologize or the backers will eat his lunch money.
He needs to declare bankruptcy.
Okay but they promised ridiculous size and scale, and instead cant handle making a tiny candyland walking simulator with 10 fps. Mobile mmorpgs have done far more with less. They can’t make a simple game, yet they promised a million people online at once. I still think they are entirely scam artists, and had no intention of reaching that.
i'm tired as hell because i've been cramming all night and thought you were referring to one of the devs as "dug", as in "this guy, dug" and wondered who the fuck dug was before remembering you're supposed to read an entire phrase and not stop randomly
I'm passing my finals to become a librarian by the way
@@Proserpira Ohh no, dug is a real person. Dug is dead, I guess you're the new dug now...
@@DrakeOola all work and no play makes a librarian dug
@@Proserpira haha legit made me laugh
Gigabear soon to be the only player in Dreamworld, his Dream come true. Mabey they will make him a GM and a Mod on discord!
I don't know how to use Unreal Engine. But just by watching how simple you made it look, with making a proper door was very entertaining.
and the speed run is Bob Ross style too, so you can probably subtract a minute at least lmao
Now I'm imagining Bob Ross doing game dev tutorials; "we'll put a little tree here and another one beside it because every little tree needs a friend...now we'll do the gibbing and gore effects where we'll blow the devil out of our little NPCs..."
if i had planned on scamming people like this i most def would NOT put my face on camera.
When you place a door down in this "game" and interact with it:
You spin me right 'round, baby
Right 'round like a record, baby
Right 'round, 'round, 'round
You spin me right 'round, baby
Right 'round like a record, baby
Right 'round, 'round, 'round
Imagine being so boring that you really typed that.
@@ReverendUncleRuckus I only typed half. I copy pasted the lyrics because I can never guess them correctly.
And if you dont like my silly little joke, good for you, we all have our own tastes
Have a nice day
This is a fantastic format. Read update - discuss what it means - replicate it yourself in engine.
You're teaching the community what to look out for and keeping it interesting and engaging. Great video, I'd love to see more like this.
7:38 "This is the laziest implementation of a door I have ever, ever seen". This is one of my favourite lines on youtube not related to a ghost hunting show.
Mind sharing a ghost hunting quote?
My favorite ghost hunting moment was the time a group set up EMF outside during a thunderstorm, and were amazed that there was, in fact, electrical energy.
Let's not forget the 300 second timer they put in to make it look like someone new was logging into Dreamworld to attempt to make it look popular than it will never be.
I was wondering if that was a glitch or something. Also, could you imagine that on an actual MMO? Annoying af
So they did less than 5 minute's worth of work and called it '2 weeks' worth of work?
Maybe they invested the time but have no clue what they are doing.. Yea i dont believe that either
They have no experience with Unreal, the entire DreamWorld looks like a weekend project from a first-semester undergrad student. It's like one of those people that want to try game development for the first time but don't want to start simple and build upon it, they want an MMO as a first project, the most challenging type of game to develop, right now they are glueing assets on the go and hoping people eat them and shut the fuck up.
Oh boy can't wait for the vid
tho legally they can just run with the money kickstarter is full of disclaimer saying you invest at your own risk and you cant take legal action if something goes wrong and that why you should pay close attention to what you are founding, and a game without a in game trailer or maybe a working alpha (even if not playable yet by the backers) is the minimum imo
They're def using your video as a tutorial for the next patch :')
7:14 the door looks like the same texture used on old roughed up car body panels (hood,trunk,fenders,etc) from that other procedural generated game The Long Drive
Plot twist; Callum lead developer of DW incoming. Game actually lives up to it's motto, and KiraTV shaves his head.
lol
i have zero experience with the stuff you did at the end, but damn you made it look easy in such a short amount of time
Given a couple weeks, with only the free assets Epic has given away and things that are just free utilities...even a beginner ue4 user could make something better than this with zero coding and only a basic understanding of the blueprints ststem.
I've only been playing around in unreal for a couple months and I understand more about it than these geniuses did in like, a year, they're con artists and not even good ones
I love how I'm watching a 1080p 60fps video but the game looks like a slideshow.
Some might say it's beating a dead horse, I say you're giving me good times
They still charging money so its far from dead.
tbh it probably would have taken me 640 hours to find the steamVR box to untick.
"Something will happen"
The government doesn't care about scammers Callum. Not in the USA. It only cares if they are scamming the rich. I think the best you can hope for is that word of this will get out to their funders and they will stop sending money.
yeah i dont think its going to be gov related.
How about getting kids to fund a kickstarter, that can't be legal surely?
@@Rob2k22 Not their fault. Its a Kickstarter Thing if they pledge and are Not 18
9:00 I understand this is a speed run so only posting this for programmers below. DO NOT CAST ON TICK OR OVERLAP! if you need a reference to anything. make it happen on begin play or a function that is called elsewhere. store the reference of the item in a variable and call that for all your checks. For this, I would create a BPFL (Blueprint Function Library) which would have a function to get the player pawn, and send down its reference which would then be stored locally. this would allow multiple game objects to use this code without the need to rewrite it every time.
Casting can be expensive!
I'm so happy that Gary and Zack are back together!! When is the wedding? You see guys? Love will always win in the end!!
Aww true love ❤️💐💋
The moment you started goin' in on their implementation of a door, I subbed haha :D
Me taking notes on door implementations for my own hobby game..... "Oooooooooh! That's how it's done" -nods-
Edit: I had been trying to do all door movement implementation in blender and transfer it into unreal without success.... I was following a turorial.... but this seems to be a much better way of doing it....
I would laugh, but I once tried to make a ball-rolling puzzle game in Unity Engine and the results were laughable.
Granted I was paid £0.00, which is roughly $0.00.
keep it up callum I love that you know more about game design than these two clowns.... its embarrassing how easy it was to setup a properly working door
I know it's like gawping at a car crash but I can't help myself.
Wow, their BUYING assets now instead of just using free ones? Huh...an improvement??? Nahh...
As someone loves working in the Unreal Engine. Specifically, implementing my own art assets, this entire shitshow this hurts my soul. This really is not hard to do. You just have to know what your doing.
This game looks like what crippling depression feels like.
Haha That intro was golden 😆 Sums it all up.
If It Took Them This Long
I wonder how long it took them to learn how to breath
The lack of effort put into the game is extremely odd, even for a scam. It's almost as if they have no interest whatsoever in gaming or game development, and can't even be bothered to follow a couple RUclips tutorials.
I'm not even a game developer, nor ever plan to be, yet I still watch tutorials because I have a general interest in gaming.
Imo they never planned to release a full game. Hence the loophole about not having to deliver a full game, just an alpha to backers. Now the medie attention got so big, they have to deliver cause their faces are all over the internet, no chance to just slink away with the money.
But maybe that's all just suspicion. Maybe they ARE that stupid. Who knows 🤷
On one hand I understand that a week's progress can sometimes (or even often) not amount to not a lot to show, like I don't think anybody would be hyped up hearing "oh yeah guys, we just refactored our audio library integration". But that's the kinda stuff you really ought to know after _all those years of experience as a programmer_ so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Like, I remember Notch doing his "seecret friday updates", but I still think that's far from what you should realistically aiming for; after all, even those faded out once the feature list got too complex. If this was a genuine project (and that's a big fucking "if") I'd be happier with monthly updates and knowing that in the mean time they get shit done. Y'know, kinda like the actually good early access games do it.
they are not lazzy.. they are scamming. A lazy person still know how to do whatever they are not doing. A scammer pretend to know how to do something he does not know.
I've made more playable games from the Unreal Editor back when I was 16 years old, 10 years ago.
I'm calling it now, next week we will have working doors as they franticly copy what you coded in this video.
I just want to mention again: A guy created a diablo clone in one week!
And now look at the "great dreamworld team" again and see what the "did" after two weeks....
That's not very interesting as tons of people have been caught buying pc games and then going into the pictures and changing them to something else and calling it a new game. If they did a 24 hour livestreams of them coding from scratch I eould.eatch that.
Don't fool for those I made this AAA game in 1 week videos.
@@DavidBarlowDavido01 Doesn't matter if it's one week or one year its still better than everything these guys from dreamworld created ^^
@@azinyefantasy4445 I know and maybe that is the case but like I said before: it doesn't matter because it works at least. Even if all is copy-paste and just here and there a change it's more work than what dreamworld took to make it.
Thanks for the breakdown of all this! I wasnt aware of this latest "early access" asset flip scam, and the programmer/designer knowledge is very cool. Big sub from me my man, wish I could like this more than once lol
I know they're a meme, but "axes" is actually the correct pluralisation of "axis", you just read it wrong :P "Ack-sees"
yeah i meant to swap that with a different clip as that was my first time reading it and i missread what they meant
@@CallumUpton 😂 I could hear you were unsure about it haha
When I opened Unreal to have a play (I'd never really used game design software before) I'd already created a working, sliding, animated, reactive to players door within like... an hour?
80 hours a week would also mean they are overworking people which would also be bad. Overworking your employees is also morally wrong.
Thankfully it's obvious they didn't actually work 80 hours. LOL
The intro is hilarious. Instant sub
They should hire Callum
theyre gonna use his door blueprint now after watching this
*SteamVR fix* I can't imagine playing that game with a VR headset with such low FPS.
Those programing speedruns had me dead. If you stick these guy's heads any further into the dirt they're going to wind up hitting the core.
Something tells me they're going to steal this door code, now that they can see how and present it in patch 4, lol
That cobbleroad you were running along at around 3:40looks ro have more polygons than the rest of the game combined
They will update the game tonight with these fixes thanks to your free tutorial 😂
4:01 they also have to disable the "SteamVR" and "OculusVR" plugins. Oculus will still try to lunch every time and is a big issue when games forget it
you may have literally spent more time developing dreamworld than they have
Could have used FInterp for the doors instead of timeline. There, a second nice way to do the simple door.
