    SWORD ART ONLINE is one of the most (in)famous anime out there today, and its premise is cooler than most whole shows. SAO is a fully immersive VR MMO-so immersive that people in the game can LITERALLY die from playing it. Needless to say, this sort of VR experience doesn’t exist yet, but we’re definitely creating the groundwork that will lead to this tech. But knowing how much our current VR systems cost, is a game like SAO even feasible for developers? How much would it cost to create something as ambitious as this? Well, Loyal Theorists, the answer is SO MUCH MORE than you expect!

      Wasnt the insane creator asking if humans are ready to have this much power- IN 2022?!?!?!?
      What the Nether?!
      Maybe i remember wrong, but that's insane for sure.

    It's weird that SAO wasn't procedurally generated, given that Kayaba did in fact create a suite of tools called the Seed which can indeed procedurally generate realistic worlds (which is used much later in the show)

    • @lukassmith9863
      @lukassmith9863 2 года назад +55

      As far as I remember; This “Seed” was a self learning bottom-up AI that could access the entirety of the internet. So the fact that it may have assisted in generating levels of SAO doesn’t seem far fetched. Now the cost and time it would take to R&D this bottom-up AI IRL is a whole other beast.

    • @Hoto74
      @Hoto74 2 года назад +16

      @@lukassmith9863 In failure in general is to bound SAO that much into our timeframe. The Novel was written near 20 Years ago, the Author couldn't know how we are today in many stuff. A NervGear alone is from technology standpoints many many years far away.
      So I would like it more if we would look with today's available technology and what could be used to start with creating a SAO like game. And then comes clearly procedurally generation combined with a deep learning AI into play, which can fix the problem that pg has. With both together it is possible to create generated worlds that looking interesting and not like copy&paste. Star Citizen use since years pg to create planets, but the interesting stuff is placed by artists, that alone makes it possible to create such huge planets, without it would be much much more work. Now use an AI to make it even more easier and you can save a lots of work and money. And you can even use pg and AI to create houses, items etc.
      You can see in the last years pretty good how much the tools for game developers increased to lower their work and let them focus more on important stuff. One person can create today games that was 10 years ago simply impossible for them, too much work.
      Let's lay the NervGear part on side, if someone would invest this money in such tools and use the UE5 for it (Nanite without the need of LoDs is already a huge work safer and also Lumen makes it easier). A SAO like game with that size would be much much cheaper possible than in the video is said.
      But you also need to say: if you reach the right fans, you can make expensive games, see Star Citizen as example, it is already over 400 million USD.

    • @asakayosapro
      @asakayosapro 2 года назад +6

      Technically one can instruct the map generation part of the AI to 'generate' areas in a specific way while re/ using preset assets to create unique environments for every floor. That includes architecture, assuming that the components of structures were modular in nature.. then the A I could mix n match as set by general floor pallets themes to create a unique look per floor. Minecraft does this in voxel scale with Perlin noise well enough despite the occasional wonky or even insane terraforming it sometimes creates (protip: don't use Large Biomes unless you absolutely must) - but what if instead of noise, it's specific placements of objects? ...or something like that...

    I believe when Kawahara wrote the first SAO as a short story in 2001, he though the technology by 2022 would be far more advanced. For example, the beds at the hospital were so advanced that they could stimulate muscle movement to prevent muscle atrophy.

      Yeah, for an Author it is always difficult to predict that far into the future. It is a gamble for them if they are right with their prediction or not. Some are more close then other. When it comes to Back to the Future we would have a lot of flying cars today.
      So I like to look more on what we have today on technology and tools in game development and what could be possible with that. I believe procedural generation combined with an deep learning AI could already create a world like Aincrad if someone would do it. But a good trained DL AI cost also money. So you need to spend more money into it before you see results, but then it goes very fast.

GGO also isn’t a true comparison just like Alfheim though, if were following the same pattern of reasoning. Either way it’s just somewhat interesting to consider that one of the rules in SAO was that you were stuck with your real body, and if that meant someone who played had a serious setback I wouldn’t put it past the game design to simply not care about fairness in survival capability

  • @theulfhednar2655

    I know this video is rather old, but I'd just like to write a bit about this
    TLDR:
    Assets can't really be measured as Amount of assets * Complexity = Price.
    5:55
    About the assets, characters, etc.
    From what I remember. Non Player Characters (NPC) are not premade. They are made by the central system running the game, called Cardinal. Which means that a lot of that art budget was probably used on creating a "generator" of sorts for all characters. This would also cover the infamous "Mirror" in episode 1.
    With a Character generator that Cardinal can understand, there will mostly be a set of assets like buildings, weapons, tools, etc. Assets such as trees and grass would likely need to be constantly removed and added due to player interaction, as in the part where Yui comes in, you can see a woodcrafter out chopping wood. So these assets will be perishable. There could be a large amount of assets that the system picks from, but considering how advanced everything else is, I doubt it's just an assetpack.
    Instead, it could be that Cardinal "knows" how these things should look after "training", and can generate decently unique assets on the fly to fill certain criteria. This would also make certain areas easier to work with. Just set a forest zone and Cardinal handles the rest.
    The only problem with this is how would Cardinal know how these things should feel. And I guess it's just going to be based on brainwaves recorded from actually doing stuff like touching grass (something I should probably have done today).
    If you handle the data properly, you could theoretically create the sensations required to make touching and smelling possible as well. And for it to be generated per asset.
    In the series, somewhere after the Alfheim arc. There are mentions that Cardinal uses stories and religions such as Northern mythology to generate quests and NPCs of all kinds to fit that. Which would mean that not only is it possible to generate NPCs, but they don't have to be humanoid.
    I do believe Aincrad already had cities and buildings set up before the release, but most assets are likely generated on the fly by Cardinal to fit the forever changing environment that is Sword Art Online.

    you forgot something in SAO there were "unique skills" which are randomly generated abilities that skilled players sometimes get and each one is different like how one guy can dual wield swords and another guy can duel wield axes... I can't even imagine how much it costs to create a system that automatically checks every players skill list for skills that currently exist and generates a random "unique skill" based on what doesn't exist and selects someone that is considered a "skilled player" who doesn't already have a "unique skill"

    • @-___-_-_-

      it shouldn't be that expensive, since you can check only after a player leveled their skills and maintain a leaderboard thing that records the player did the most "something"( e.g. using a skill perfectly) and choosing the most "skilled" player from that

      I work in the games industry and the only plausible way I could assume it would work is that the Sword Skills as a whole work off of a sort of base system that puts various pieces of code together to form different combinations that allow for "new" skills. Using a system like that they could have all of their base skills that anyone can learn alongside the individual skills. As for how it works, procedural generation could work. As a player joins the system could identify the player with a certain id and then roll random numbers to dictate if they have an individual skill or not, and after that it just boils down to the game fitting various features together to make a new skill.

    Actually, I think there is some kind of procedural generation in SAO. Heartcliff gave Kirito the seed, which were used to make others vrmmos. But obviously they had to code the seed in the first place. Said so, as we saw in Alicization, AIs... like, actual AIs, are a thing in that world, so isn't that weird to think that the sao was an ai that coded itself into a playable game, guided by the developers. This hypotheses makes the whole thing a little more credible I guess.
    And btw, they don't need to simulate the smells, sensations and stuff. They just need to stimulate the brain. If the game convinces your brain that you are drinking an orange juice, you gonna taste it. If the game convinces you brain that you are touching something, you'll feel it. It's actually a very well documented reaction, that I tottaly forgot the name rn beco's it's 3am and my brain isn't working.

    • @minorisarako9386
      @minorisarako9386 4 года назад +8

      Let me ask, how do you think they understand how to stimulate the brain to create a sensation? They mostly need to monitor someone who is experiencing the sensation first then replicate it. So yes they would have to simulate all the sensations to gather to information to be able to simulate in people playing. You cannot just do a general simulate the brain and it gives you sensation you want. There is also a reason most of this doesn't currently exist at a high level today is because just sending electrical signals has difficulty producing anything complex, and this can change between people based on their neuron connects and biological factors.

Remember most people who grew up with MMOs in the golden ages are 30-35 now, with steady incomes and disposable cash.

In theory, each of the 100+ maps would need only a small sampling of human made world building each for the impressively capable and pretty much sentient AI known as the cardinal system to extrapolate on top of it.
    (That being said, it would still be an unattainable goal to make money off of with the other costs. The creator of the series clearly did not understand video game development.)

In SAO, they thought in 2022 we’ll have technology that is able to fully replicate reality. It’s now 2022, and virtual reality headsets still suffer from things like the screen door effect (which is when the headset’s resolution is low enough that you can see each of the pixels, like if you were to go up close to a screen door, hence the name) or thumbstick drift on the Valve Index or the downfall of the metaverse that no one totally ever saw coming because facebook is the most beloved company that definitely is not intrusive on its users data.

    I think the implication in the series is that Kayaba actually developed the entire game completely on his own. Yes, one person for an entire MMO and everything in it. It makes about as much sense as the rest of the series and shows how much the writer knew about MMOs before making an entire series based around one.

      Well to be fair they did say that the company Kayaba was working in went bankrupt after the whole SAO incident implying that the company didn't even come close to breaking even due to the 10k sales number.

      @@robbieaulia6462 yea, kayaba went missing/killed himself/uploaded his consciousness and the company (which did help him build the game and nerve gear) went bankrupt due to a combination of lost profit and players dying left and right. SAO's servers were given to another company, who made Alfheim Online and that's the second arc right there. So kayaba basically knowingly bankrupted his company to build this. Legit. He knew they'd never make the money back because of his freaky plan

      You and Matpat both forgot about subscriptions, which are where MMORPGs actually make their money back (by the truckload). Also, Kayaba wasn't really in it to make money, he wanted people to live in his virtual world, an once they beat SAO, he wanted them to freely distribute the VRMMO code to create lots of new VRMMOs. He didn't really care about bankrupting the company he was working for, it was probably part of his plan, but the company could reasonably expect to expand their user base, and if they were as successful as WOW, with 20M subs at $15/month, they would make a cool $3.6 billion per year, so yeah, quite profitable from their standpoint.

    • @PHENOXSPARTAN
      @PHENOXSPARTAN 4 года назад +1

      Ben Jones Did they mention subscriptions in the anime? Also, pretty sure there are people that would be monitoring the budget and product production. I’m also pretty sure that Subscriptions would be in humane in this kind of situation, seeing as the company would also be responsible for players dying because of the situation. There’s no way the public would just sit there and line the company’s pockets after this situation has occurred. Even then, though, it wouldn’t come close to earning back what they paid for making the game after the amount of time they were in it.

    • @PHENOXSPARTAN
      @PHENOXSPARTAN 4 года назад +1

      Ben Jones Even if they charged $60 a month and it still went through with subscriptions, it wouldn’t get CLOSE to paying off what they needed, even in two years. 10,000 * 60 *24 = 14,400,000. They would still be insanely behind on that profit. There’s no way that there’s no one monitoring the budget and profit projections to see that it’s insanely underneath what they paid.

      Well, in the light novel, the 10,000 that were purchased on day one were only in Japan, because the game was only released in Japan. However, as time went on, it sold over 3 million.
