This whole presentation was like one of those school presentations, where you have started the night before and still somehow manage to talk an hour about literally nothing
That + the constant "Oh, i could show you this feature, but i won't, because it's not implemented" make me feel insulted just watching this trainwreck.
"As you can see, there's an arrow moving around on the screen. We have named it a 'cursor'. You move the cursor around using a mouse, which is a hardware device that most computers have. The cursor represents the part of the game world that you interact with. So, you move your mouse to move the cursor, for instance move it on top of a character, and then you left click in order to select the character."
Yep. It's called stalling and being a scammer. "A cool thing here is if you click something it highlights it. Let me talk a bit more about this feature!".
LMFAO.. Bro I felt the same way watching him talk about this dumb ass game.. He was literally explaining every single thing there is in the game.. Oh sorry the small - very small section of the game he showed thats suppose to hold 5000 characters......
LOL exactly hahaha. As i'd like to point out the game has grasse(s). Two different types of grass, one type is green, and the next is green brown. We have crafted this grass to represent this unique biome. Other future biomes will have different types of grass. Grass is a real world representation of a thing that is in the real word, and we think that this makes the beautiful chronic.... errr kingdoms of Valeria? Come alive.
@@TheGnurgen I did that in Highschool and it worked 9/10 times :D I would read the start and the End and then work my self towards the middle from the end almost always I woudl never read the whole book but I could Bull my way :D
well you have to understand a really big dog ate the hard drive with the original game and that's why they are serving this peace of Dog Dung :D That's why you should always backup to cloud!
….” Well you see, there were several significant challenges we faced during the development stage of this required homework… we anticipate this assignment will be fulfilled sometime in late 2022. I will update you with progress made periodically “ I’m going to train my kids to meet shortfalls in life by answering questions like this
Everyone else: you need a pen to write on this paper. Him: So you'll see this sheet of whats known as paper, a product made from wood pulp. Now to write on this landmark invention you'll need a pen. Now a pen will be required to draw or write letters on this product, if you ever want to write on paper, you will need a pen in your hand or you won't be able to write.
Now just a pen alone isn't enough. You need some Ink in it, there's when the magic happens. Now you will be surprised by how Inks are made. Basically....
Now normally, you would get a pen from a drawer or closet or some other storage. But that hasn't been implemented yet, but will be in milestone 5 when we implement pen storage containers and the like, stay tuned. So, now instead of getting the pen from a drawer, the character pulls it out of his ass.
Thats gonna be star citizen IF it ever releases. My money says they are gonna build a new engine again to keep the money flowing while having an excuse for why the game isnt finished yet.
@@bigdaddychemster1201 What? There‘s so many engines and possibilities out there to make your game look great if you put the effort in at this point even without a huge budget, this is just trash not „Indie Gaming“
indie dev here, throughout my time in game jams I've seen better levels, games, and progress done in a 48hr time frame than they have so far shown here.
Same, I've made more polished RPG's in a week through Unity while working alone. Watching him bullshit was so enjoyable, the amount of times he lies during the video is insane. Does he actually think anybody's buying this shit? :D
So as promised we built the second floor of the building! As you can see, it is completely empty because while we painstakingly crafted individual boards for the flooring, and got those stuck together, it can't currently support any weight or have any function because we haven't yet developed the foundation, frame, or support beams, those will be coming in milestone 5 after our paint and landscaping milestone.
Honestly though...this man has a genuine talent to talk about nothing for a long period of time and make it sound like something...it's actually fascinating
@@_Just_John I was about to say in AZ it gets dark in the summer around 830 and light by 530 in the morning. That's not 12 hour perfect halves. It's dependent on the time of the year.
Im convinced he has never played a video game in his life. This man is explaining things games have had since 1999 and he thinks its blowing our minds.
I thought you were joking then he starts explaining what a clock is, and how they can show names on character and even visualise their health as a percentage based graphic bar. _gasp_ Revolutionary stuff, never done before in the history of gaming. Only cost $8M to get to this point...
It reminds me a bit of when I was a child and had to do a presentation on a book I'd been assigned, but I didn't like the book so had only read the first quarter or so, so I rambled on about that in such detail that eventually they said "that's enough, thanks" and they never realised I hadn't read the rest.
All I saw was someone showing us around a game environment they slapped together in Unity, no actual mechanics are In place at all. This game is much closer to 1% done instead of 25%. Pretty sure I know artists who can throw this together in a night or two. Edit: I take it back, he just made a character harvest berries. The big reveal was worth the wait.
I think 1% is unfair. Since someone can throw this together in a day, you're implying that a full game would only take 1 person 100 days to make. It's more like 0,01% done.
This dude actually just MILKING every detail he can. There's legit nothing here. I feel like I'm watching someone present a PowerPoint on a project they never even started
reminds me on how i used to ramble about a topic in my highschool essay just to make it looks like i know my shit even tho most of it consist only of empty but fancy words.
Imagine giving someone 8 MILLION DOLLARS to make an MMO, and you check on them SIX YEARS LATER, and you finally get to see a bit of gameplay, and for some reason it's visually an early 2000's sim game that appears to have been built the night before in unity, and its most exciting feature is NOT getting to choose the characters' clothing options. Absolutely amazing.
@@Argumemnon It was in regard on being able to see the history of the activities of that character. But for that you need a competent programmer, so it wasn't working in this "demo".
@Drumslav Czechisenko the game is so broken that any hope of having berries picked in real time is clearly a scam... This is the cyberpunk of fantasy games but with 1% of the budget. Lol
He’s describing things that are expected by any game ever. ‘So as you can see I can move around the map, and even spin the camera!’. Wow next gen gaming ingenuity there, well done.
The npcs have names over their head though, in text! Just imagine, in 3 more years from now he might be able to figure out how to put an ! over the npc head so indicate it has a quest.
I like how he bragged about the incremental build number at the bottom of the screen. That's a basic Unity feature, and you can manually set the build number to anything you want and let it start counting from there. The fact that he was so excited about that shows me not only are they beginner developers but that they recognize that as a way they could make it seem like they were doing actual work. What they have here is just some art and assets placed in the editor. There's no code other than some basic scripts they've copied from the internet. He claims he has GOAP style AI, but how do you have goal-oriented action planning but don't have any actions or goals to plan? You clearly don't ... you just read about it or downloaded a couple scripts you aren't sure how to use. This would be kind of cool if it was just a indy or beginner showcasing one of their first ambitious projects and showing us how it's starting to resemble a game. But these guys have been lying about developing this game and collecting money from people for a long time now ... 😐
It's like how I simulate work (when feeling lazy) for my employer. Just commit meaningless/empty changes to the codebase, and watch the commit count grow.
Filibuster: an action such as a prolonged speech that obstructs progress in a legislative assembly while not technically contravening the required procedures.
Now I remember what this reminds me of - back in college when everyone was presenting their thesis finals - this is what the presentations were like for everyone's half-baked games. Only difference is that these were college students - no 8 million dollar budget in sight.
Dude this is what happens when you have a minimum time/word to hit so you ramble about total bullshit until you hit the goal. That's why he brings up the UI so damn much, a good UI is like a good joke, it doesn't need explaining.
When my husband heard Caspian say he was hiding all the COE assets in the Fog of War he blurted out, "Caspian's literally using smoke and mirrors" lmao.
Yea, in Dreamworld you can at least exploit the game and spawn a bunch of assets. But if there is no game, there are no exploits. So it has to be a feature of some Milestone.
Obviously there's no team here and the guy did it alone. Like he did in the past in UE4, he just grabbed some assets from the Unity asset store, built a small scene like any non professional playing with Unity added some storytelling
I noticed something was off with the grass animation, like it was all moving around not like it was rooted and just wind moving the top of it, and then later I realized that it felt so weird because the grass has water animation, they used water animation to simulate wind on the grass
THANK GOD they are working with people from Microsoft, Sony and all the others everyone one says. I'm sure they got Apple & Facebook employees, too. Water effects on the grass for UHD++ resolution. My devs from leading companies are bursting with talent. Jealous? Yeah, yeah you are. Edit: Important update from Devs - use wind sounds at all times through speakers for ultra realistic gaming. Remember guys: Microsoft, Sony etc. If you have any questions, "points to a sign that says 33667" Thank you 33667
He literally squeezed every single details out of the game to trick us into thinking that the dev actually made progress, like "large build numbers", "music option" and all the petty technical stuff. All that could have been shown in a few seconds, he made into a fucking research paper. That's a major red flag for me. This video should've been out in the first week when the whole development started as proof of concept, not years after the dev has siphoned millions of dollars out of people.
This 'fog of war' is actually a soft barrier used to give the illusion the game is bigger than actually is. That and almost every aspect of this video is very devious.
Dude, I am facepalming so hard each time he starts to explain the most basic shit like time pace or camera control. That's not a feature, that's just a backbone of any game of this type ffs. It would be like considering moving a car forward a feature in a racing game.
I can imagine it now: Caspian: If you press this pedal it will make the car move forward. I can't really show it right now because the car is stuck but once we reach milestone six pressing that pedal will make the car go vroom.
Wait... so this... Fog of War is not new?! I mean, it sounds so revolutionary! As if is gonna change the future of rts, turn-based strategy games, and sim games!
I'd like to take this opportunity to give everyone a fun fact: the Fog Of War feature was first introduced to video games in 1977 in a game titled "Empire" released for the PDP-10. 😁
And another fun fact: The "Fog of War" was mostly used in video games so that the (now ancient) PCs were able to render the game at more than 20 FPS. Otherwise, without Fog of War, it would be a literal slideshow, if the game managed to not crash at all.
5 years ago "were making a game where you age with full loot pvp." 5 years, 9 million dollars later "we made a game where you can dress up peasants in golf shirts, you can even make the sleeves longer!"
He’s clearly just stalling the buildings are literally just a model there is no in game systems I bet he’s lying about the box ai and that there just models to. 8 million dollars and 5 years.
@@ColinWithaT I'm only halfway through the vid but so far they haven't shown any actual gameplay or working systems. Only models and a UI that's filled with placeholders
@@ZeruelB if you harvest the branches you get less apples than if you were to harvest the apples first. this is just so complex. how did they even come up with these innovative mechanics? genius.
@@samwilcox3957 what I don't understand is, why would anyone harvest the sticks before the apples then at all? It's a no-brainer to ALWAYS do it in the correct order, so why not make your character do that by default? And you forgot another thrilling feature: the fog of war is coming closer while you decide what to harvest first! It's gonna be thrilling
@@verdammdeaggsd7736 well, it really comes down to what you need the most and how fast you need them. sometimes you may need the max amount of apples (mans gotta eat - am i right?). BUT, sometimes you may be in a rush for sticks (mans gotta light a fire - am i right?) and a few apples are a nice bonus. one thing's for sure, i can't wait for the alpha launch to find out what people are gonna do. so exciting.
This is literally a highschool presentation, where the student makes some basic powerpoint, and they read whats on the screen and try to "expand" on it, because the teacher set a min time. EDIT: And the presentation it's tho Zoom, and the student didn't bother with a decent mic.
His "gameplay" video is like when you've got 500 words left in your English creative writing homework but you don't know what else to include so you start rambling and adding pointless words like "I am" instead of "I'm" and taking two paragraphs to describe the colour of your characters pants.
I appreciate how when the fog came in. I bet he didn't even catch the subtle symbollic irony. The "fog of war" walls, were closing in on him, and it's hilarious to see him slowly restrict how much he could do. He even sighs like he's annoyed
This is like a kid telling you about the totally awesome game he's working on. He doesn't have a lot of it yet. And the things he does have are broken. But really guys, it's going to be so cool when it's done!
Hopefully a lesson learned for the people who were silly enough to think that their $900k kickstarter goal for an MMO was realistic, and then after that gave them a further 8 million with no solid proof of progress.
I can't wait for milestone 118, where they put a health bar on the screen for your character (actual health functionality reserved for future milestone)
Wasn't this game supposed to be multiplayer? How is that going to even work with being able to speed up time? It looks like it's being built as a single player game...
Hey morph. I see you lurk in the same corners of the internet as I do. He did actually say you wouldn’t be able to do this in multiplayer. Not that I can blame you for fast forwarding or not listening to this turd of a game.
I can't help but smile every time " fog" is mentioned. This will be a meme I take with me whenever I hear anything about game development issues and delays. Any time a game is delayed, my head cannon will due to "fog" issues. How did those geniuses in AoE 2 solve this gordian knot ?
Is it just me or at 14:23 in this video, when the guy zooms in to the characters and you look at the grass, it seems to me like the grass is floating on the ground, with a watery motion, rather than being "stuck" in one place and just the top half moving.
The start of their gameplay demo sounds a lot like a kid giving a book report on a book when they haven't read it. "So as you can see, the book has a nice red cover. A nice picture of a Mockingbird on the front, referencing the title "To Kill a Mockingbird". There are 280 pages in this book, and over 100k words! The author is Harper Lee, who you may notice happens to share the same surname as Bruce Lee, though I don't think they are related. That's Lee spelled L-E-E, though sometimes it can be spelled differently..."
yep, he's a kid giving a book report that never ends. and the best part is he's got that goofy smile like he thinks he's doing a good job lol. I prefer to imagine him as a delusional child in a man's body, rather than the alternative, a mean-spirited con man. But kid or no, he still took $8 million dollars, and that can't be ignored. If this ever goes to court he's more likely to end up in juvenile detention than prison.
A game called Kenshi that came out in 2013 has significantly more advanced features and physics such as permanent limb damage along with a huge character and race customization and the ability to build your own settlement and stuff and Jeremy's $ 8 million funded "studio" is struggling with some basic features in their "alpha" of a game with a map that looks like a stock Unity map and houses that seemingly resembles one of the medieval house assets from the Unity store.
@@doctorbrown5957 Basically yes. From Wikipedia: “Kenshi was primarily developed by a single person, Chris Hunt, who began development around 2006-2008. Hunt worked as a part-time security guard in order to make ends meet for the first few years of the game's development. After five or so years of working his security job, Hunt was able to leave his part-time job and work on the game full-time after finding initial success with the game. He worked by himself on the project until 2013, when he was able to hire a small team that works with him on the project.”
8:25 You know a Game company is grasping hard at anything they can to sell the game, and avoid lawsuits, when they talk about a build string like it's a new innovation.
This would take maybe 3 months to build in unity. If you were a solo developer who had never written a line of code or made a game in your life before.
@@clazzo6231 It definitely can, NO joke! It would literally take someone 30 to 40 minutes to throw a terrain together, add some foliage with material wind shaders, incorporate a generic UI, and throw in like 5 characters each with their own Idle animation on a loop using Mecanim. It would be Everything you've seen here, AND with MUCH better details at that. Anyone who falls for this mess is a fool. This dude is basically just demonstrating a generic mini game thrown together on the fly, and he's intentionally explaining things in a way to make everything sound more complex than it actually is. Just check this out: ruclips.net/video/LHErE4xLV8k/видео.html From what I understand, that took a DAY to make with Generic assets on the marketplace. The dev programmed the A.I and gameplay mechanics himself though. The creator of Elyria keeps talking more about HOW he did something rather than putting all of that focus on the actual gameplay features. REAL developers already know that gamers don't need to understand how the game was made, and really aren't all that interested in technical babble either. They just wanna know what they can do in the game, and ultimately that's the thing that sells the consumer. He's marketing this thing as if his target audience are OTHER developers out there like him who may be interested in UNITYs features too, which makes absolutely NO sense at all. Ironically this is also what blows his cover because devs who DO actually understand unity already KNOW how easy it is to just throw something like this together on their spare time. This game doesn't even offer anything all that special that hasn't already been done before. The average MMORPG today has all of these features, better gameplay over all, and FAR more stunning visuals. And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they already move this game to UNREAL Engine 4 in 2020!? How in the hell are they BACK in unity AGAIN?? Moving engines is a PAIN in the ass in and of itself because you have to reprogram everything from the ground up. Its 2 completely different scripting languages for both engines, C# and C++. So what gives? This has got to be one of the BIGGEST scams in history, the fact that its gone on for so long is just mind-blowing.
The "Made in Unity" at the start seems to indicate they are running the free version of Unity since the other versions allow you to remove that and it is a simple checkbox so removing it is not complicated. That seems like a violation of the Unity agreement since a studio that made over 100k in the last 12 months is not allowed to be using the free version.
@@JMacify Legally, they aren't selling it yet, so it's not a violation. Yeah they got backed for a ton but that could just be like "Yeah this isn't isn't final product we wanted to test this out first before comitting" The product itself hasn't made any money since it doesn't exist. It's like claiming a game made 8 million dollars because they had a budget of 8 mil when they haven't sold anything
@@radishhat5736 May not work that way. For example small film studios can get their fan film projects and get shut down for simply attempting to make them with no intention of making profit. I would imagine that it could be spun in court that they are making a project with the intention of distributing it for profit. I think that in a courtroom they have a big chance of getting burned.
@@jedimindtrix2142 the problem is that they were funded, its not revenue from a sold product so the money is not categorized as revenue yet, guy is skimming on a loophole.
I'm a solo indie game developer, I can safely say that I could re-make what is in his KoE video in less than a day, not only that I wouldn't use store bought assets nor have bugged AI There are a few things that stick out to me in this video. Caspian says that the animal AI are constantly wanting to move from one point to another, which to any developer would mean he has the animal AI on a loop of looking for a random spot and then moving to it with no delay and thus you get this result.. Now this is actually fairly common amongst people that have no idea on how AI works or how coding works for that matter - a simple delayed timer would prevent this from happening, there are several things like this through out the "KoE trailer" but I don't want to make my post too long. With that, I don't feel like KoE will ever be in a fully polished releasble state unless he received more funding to pay people that actually do know what they are doing.
Animal AIs don't have models for inquisitiveness, fear, and familiarity? There was research on that for mobile robots in the 90s, so it's not computationally expensive.
Although at the start you see the deer moving about, so that obviously isnt the issue, at some point it must get stuck in some kind of loop like that, but if it was as simple as the issue you are thinking then the deer wouldnt have been moving about at all at any point in the video. He even says 'after a while they stop moving and get frozen'. Not defending anything, its obv poor coding, but its obv not some extremely basic flaw like that either.
"Look: Grass!. Grass is a plant commonly found in many places of the world, its green and usually dont grow more than 10cm....." Let's talk about EVERYTHING on the screen so we can make a very long video. If they talked about the game for real the video would be 2 minutes (one minute is the character walking).
bro a real game doesnt even have a developer talking about it.. it is just a game trailer of really great footage or really bad footage lmfao... this is one of the biggest gaming scams ever
There were times in this video where I genuinely wanted to end it all and I don't even have any money invested into this, I can't begin to imagine what the people who sank thousands would be feeling right now. Holy shit man this was rough
He's literally explaining a super basic concept in development known as continuous integration. Anyone who uses Gitlab CI/CD pipelines would know how simple those build numbers are and how small tiny changes can get that to bump up. It really doesn't mean much and is a standard practice that most, if not ALL people doing development are familiar with. It really does sound like they're just covering their ass...
Isn't it some sign of development length? I have 230 commits on a game I've worked on for 6 months in my spare time. Compared to that 30000 sounds like a lot more work done. (Most of which they can't show for some reason)
@@swifterik Until you realise that he's just doing it to cover his ass. Then it's just manipulating the number (Not sure if Unity shows the build-number on it's own or something, but otherwise you can add show 'buildnumber + 33600' as your build. No one stops you). Or even if you want a genuine buildnumber, just write a small bot to commit the same change and undo for 33000 times. Seriously, that whole segment was so much "See, we did a lot of work" that it's way too obvious.
@@acajoom It's definitely including CoE, whatever work he did for CoE, that he can't show anyone for some reason. I know it's all bs, but I wonder if there has been some work done that he just mostly had to throw away. Maybe 25000 commits were done for the Unreal engine version of CoE, but was all thrown away when they switched to Unity and fired all their employees because they ran out of money. Something like that. It could totally be faked though.
@@adriannakulis It would work as like a proof of concept in the 90's, maybe early 2000's. Graphics are decent for that time period, it just lacks everything else that makes a game a game.
@@juliusfucik4011 I don´t see this game making seasons were time is affected by in that regard. My original point is really that a day/night cycle really isnt that unique, that sentence felt more like a "Filler" My first game ever was a VBA with Pokemon Silver, IT had a day/night cycle.
What he said that they won't be adding any other content till build 8 and it took 4 years to get to build nothing? What the fuck are these testers supposed to test? Standing still in a field and listening to the award winning composer's music?
Damn straight. NPCs must be idling, recent activity list of fake Caspian must be empty, animals being stuck and the FOG will be making the nights intensive. As long as those things work as intended, the alpha test is a KILL.
An infrastructure system for leaving feedback. Such a revolutionary concept. I hope the next video has even more buzzwords. Perhaps he will combine this feedback system with some sort of unidirectional distributed videographical information transference system.
the contradictions are amusing, "we cant see my characters inventory cos he doesnt have a container" then "you see my character pullls out a sickle, thats cos in this game you have to have every tool in your inventory"
I was listening to this in the background...then I heard you say at 38:00 that this dude got $8 million for this game...I immediately stopped my CK3 Campaign to take a look, and holy geeze. 4 YEARS AND $8 MILLION!!! ...this looks decent for a small indie game. But like...how is this taking so long and where'd the money go? Edit: I just googled it and saw their kickstarter, wiki, etc. And wow, I am invested in this story now.
It doesn't even look decent for a small indie game, trust me. I've made better looking and more polished games within a few weeks, ALONE. And I'm not even that good, back when i was creating games, I was still a student with no Unity knowledge scrapping by with just watching tutorials. This is just a shameless scam, I'm guessing he payed a student a couple of hundred bucks to put this shit together in a week or two. It literally looks like someones first Unity project.
Kira starting the vid and seeing Jeremy. "Hey Jeremy." So beautiful. Two good friends who have been at it for years for the most anticipated mmo ever (:
I like how he is showing the most basic elements of gameplay that could be done in about 2 hours or immediately with assets..probably free ones too. I'm at 14 min and the boredom started the moment he started talking...before the "game play" footage.
Ah, the camera controls, often overlooked, yet absolutely integral to the gameplay experience in Chronicles of Elyria. One might be tempted to think of camera controls as a simple mechanism, a mere functional aspect of the game, but to do so would be to underappreciate the true complexity and elegance involved in something so seemingly basic. Indeed, camera controls are the unsung hero of the gaming experience, and to give them anything less than a detailed exploration would be, frankly, an injustice. --- When we talk about camera controls, we must begin with the most fundamental question: *What is the camera in a game like Chronicles of Elyria?* It's not just a virtual lens through which you view the game world-oh no. The camera is your *perspective,* your window into the vast, detailed environment that the developers have painstakingly crafted. It is the medium through which your entire interaction with the world is mediated. Without the camera, there is no game, no experience, no adventure to be had. Now, let's break down the actual controls. In the most rudimentary sense, these controls allow you to adjust the position and angle of the camera, giving you the ability to observe your character and the environment from different vantage points. Typically, this involves moving the mouse or using a controller’s thumbstick, but it’s not just about moving things around-it’s about *how* you move them around. The fluidity of the camera’s movement, the sensitivity of the controls, the degree to which you can pan, tilt, and zoom-these are not just arbitrary settings. They are a direct reflection of the game’s design philosophy and its commitment to providing a seamless, immersive experience. Let’s linger for a moment on the mouse movement aspect. When you move your mouse, you’re not just shifting a cursor; you’re guiding the camera, directing your gaze within the game world. The connection between your hand movements and the camera’s response is critical. If the sensitivity is too high, a slight twitch could send your view careening wildly, disorienting you and pulling you out of the game. Too low, and it feels sluggish, like you’re trying to wade through molasses just to get a glimpse of what’s behind you. The developers of *Chronicles of Elyria* have surely spent countless hours fine-tuning this sensitivity, balancing it just so, to provide an experience that feels both responsive and natural. And then there’s the matter of panning and tilting the camera. This is more than just moving the view left and right, up and down. It’s about being able to take in the world from every conceivable angle. Want to see the towering castle from below, emphasizing its grandeur and intimidating architecture? You can. Feel like tilting the camera slightly as you look at the horizon to create a cinematic effect? That’s within your grasp. The freedom to manipulate the camera in this way isn’t just a convenience-it’s a tool that allows you to engage with the game world on a deeper level, to appreciate the fine details, to set up the perfect screenshot, or just to enjoy the scenery as your character meanders through a forest, a city, or a battlefield. Zooming, of course, deserves its own discussion. The ability to zoom in and out with the camera is far from a trivial feature. It’s a method of control that lets you adjust your field of view to better suit the situation at hand. Zoom in close to admire the intricacies of your character’s armor, the texture of the cobblestone streets, or the expressions of NPCs. Zoom out to get a better grasp of your surroundings, to plan your next move, to see the bigger picture. The zoom feature is essentially a way to control the scale of your experience, letting you toggle between the personal and the panoramic with a simple scroll of the mouse wheel. But it doesn’t end there. *Chronicles of Elyria* might even offer advanced camera settings, allowing you to customize your experience even further. Maybe you can invert the Y-axis, change the camera’s default position, or adjust the auto-follow settings. Each of these options, while seemingly minor, can drastically change the way you experience the game. An inverted Y-axis might feel more intuitive for some players, while others might prefer the standard setup. The ability to toggle these settings gives players the flexibility to tailor their experience to their preferences, making the game more accessible and enjoyable. And what about the role of the camera in combat situations? Here, the camera controls take on an even more critical role. During combat, the ability to quickly and accurately position the camera can mean the difference between life and death. You need to be aware of your surroundings, to track multiple enemies, to dodge and strike with precision. The camera becomes an extension of your tactical awareness, allowing you to execute maneuvers with finesse. A well-placed camera can provide a strategic advantage, giving you a better view of the battlefield, revealing hidden threats, and allowing you to plan your moves more effectively. In conclusion, while it may seem that camera controls are just a basic feature, they are, in truth, the linchpin of the entire *Chronicles of Elyria* experience. Without them, the rich, immersive world would be inaccessible, unviewable, and ultimately unplayable. Every interaction, every moment of exploration or combat, every triumph and every defeat is filtered through the lens of the camera.

Because in the end, the camera isn’t just a tool-it’s your eyes in the world of Elyria, and it’s through these eyes that your journey unfolds.
With the amount of time he spends on unnecessary shit like the client build number and horse hair I'm surprised he didn't squeeze in five minutes of explaining how to use the power button on his PC
So this right here is the power button. It is a button that functions as a communication gateway from the plastic to the power control unit. Now sometimes the power button can come in a black textile or a grey steel, but, here is something humorous. Yesterday, one of my coworkers suprised me. Once the button is pressed no longer than one second, it will communicate to the power unit to pull electricity from the cable that should be connected to a power outlet in your home. Now a power outlet is
I just wanna point out, if current build number is 33667, and that number was accumulated over the span of 4 years starting from 0 that means that, doing the math, like he clearly hasn't done, this dude had pushed 701 updates/changes _per month_ or about 23 per day, every day, for 4 years. Massive amounts of pressing X to doubt.
maybe it's pushing a new build everytime they type a new character in the source code. mmh, even like that, 33667 characters of source code seems a lot for this result xp
It feels like when programmers submit every single change as a separate ticket for commission: “Change log 26834, changed the red RGB value of the grass by 2 points”
You know what? That sounds exactly like how one of my end-term project got done. The assignment was making a single doc file, template provided, calculating the statistics of another existing project on GitHub, but the teacher required us to commits at least 10 times, per student. He literally taught us to change a single comma in the template doc, commit, rinse and repeat until you get all 10 commits done. Mad respect for him.
I know nothing about programming and that seemed ridiculously off even to me. That moment when your lie is so bad that even the uniformed are calling BS. XD
Btw since I just played it: Going Medieval does everything 'hypothetically' shown here and more and it actually works. It's in early access though so still a bit rough around the edges when it comes to some things (like the tutorial abandoning you sometimes for stuff like, how to tend to wounds) but the animals actually move around, you can build stuff, your settlers actually do things. So basically the game they're pretending to build here? It's already on Steam.
Many moons ago, a young wizard by the name of Caspian begged the peoples of the realm for enough coin to create a world of amazement, wonder and entertainment. At last, he has delivered the horror game we have all been waiting for. A world of idle peoples locked in a perpetual daylight cycle, absorbing light from the sun, too terrified to move or interact, through fear of the ever present but sometimes never present fog of war mechanic. A world where people have forgotten fashion and your own clothes clip into your own body. God bless you, Caspian.
Camera controls are such a basic thing, imagine if Nintendo did a Treehouse stream and talked about Mario going right if you press right on the dpad, and then also left if you press left on the dpad for a whole 8 minutes.
I've just stumbled across this game from YT recommended and I knew it was going to be amazing when he spent 2 minutes talking about what "build numbers" are LMAO. Charlatan
This can't hold up in court right? It's like he promised a ferrari but shows progress on the production of a wheel he's creating for a bycicle cuz they're both vehicles that take part in traffic.
If this actually goes to a court, they've already lost; the legal expenses would be ruinous even if they win the case. This song and dance is about convincing potential litigants that they shouldn't bother because they won't come out ahead after their legal expenses either.
@@zhentaa It's a class action lawsuit with hundreds, or maybe even thousands of individuals, Jeremy will have no leg to stand on against that many people. Also, the only thing that the plaintiff would need to show is the trailer footage from 2015 and the current gameplay in comparison. The evidence would be most certainly overwhelming
@@ninja12333444 Okay, so they have a breach of contract class action lawsuit. Because they have "overwhelming" evidence, the case proceeds quickly and they reach a final judgement with just $250,000 in legal expenses (and no, that "just" is not sarcasm). Even if 20% of the backers (2,150 people) participate and they're awarded 100% of their investment back, there's only $20k left for the backers. *If* Caspian even has any money left to pay the judgement (you can bet his lawyers were getting paid upfront). And that's practically a best case scenario!
When he's going over the fact that you need different tools for different things, I was like "Isn't that what every life-skill MMO has? Runescape did this literally 20 years ago."
My favorite was how he was trying to make the random "clothing" generation seem like some revolutionary thing. Congrats, you have a defined list of clothing and used a random integer to pick which one is assigned. This is the guy who is presenting their Tic Tac Toe game in freshman year of their computer science degree, and playing up how cool it is that you can click on all 9 squares.
This whole presentation was like one of those school presentations, where you have started the night before and still somehow manage to talk an hour about literally nothing

Absolutely, every miniscule and mostly irrelevant detail gets explained like it would change and reinvent the entire genre.
That + the constant "Oh, i could show you this feature, but i won't, because it's not implemented" make me feel insulted just watching this trainwreck.
lmaoooo i laughed so hard at this. 100% true
"As you can see, there's an arrow moving around on the screen. We have named it a 'cursor'. You move the cursor around using a mouse, which is a hardware device that most computers have. The cursor represents the part of the game world that you interact with. So, you move your mouse to move the cursor, for instance move it on top of a character, and then you left click in order to select the character."
Yep. It's called stalling and being a scammer. "A cool thing here is if you click something it highlights it. Let me talk a bit more about this feature!".
"If i move the camera, the view moves. Look at how amazing this is"
LMFAO.. Bro I felt the same way watching him talk about this dumb ass game.. He was literally explaining every single thing there is in the game.. Oh sorry the small - very small section of the game he showed thats suppose to hold 5000 characters......
This is thrilling can you continue?
LOL exactly hahaha. As i'd like to point out the game has grasse(s). Two different types of grass, one type is green, and the next is green brown. We have crafted this grass to represent this unique biome. Other future biomes will have different types of grass. Grass is a real world representation of a thing that is in the real word, and we think that this makes the beautiful chronic.... errr kingdoms of Valeria? Come alive.

Now normally, you would get a pen from a drawer or closet or some other storage. But that hasn't been implemented yet, but will be in milestone 5 when we implement pen storage containers and the like, stay tuned. So, now instead of getting the pen from a drawer, the character pulls it out of his ass.

It reminds me a bit of when I was a child and had to do a presentation on a book I'd been assigned, but I didn't like the book so had only read the first quarter or so, so I rambled on about that in such detail that eventually they said "that's enough, thanks" and they never realised I hadn't read the rest.
JCS: Chronicles of Elyria
All I saw was someone showing us around a game environment they slapped together in Unity, no actual mechanics are In place at all. This game is much closer to 1% done instead of 25%. Pretty sure I know artists who can throw this together in a night or two.
Edit: I take it back, he just made a character harvest berries. The big reveal was worth the wait.
as someone who has only briefly used kodu and scratch in middle school i feel like i could easily put this together lol
Don’t even need to be a Artist. Just looks like someone went on Unreal Engine, brought some houses in the Unreal shop and put it together in 2 hours.
I think 1% is unfair.
Since someone can throw this together in a day, you're implying that a full game would only take 1 person 100 days to make. It's more like 0,01% done.

When he describes the details of his shirt I felt like I watched a My Immortal reading lmao
reminds me on how i used to ramble about a topic in my highschool essay just to make it looks like i know my shit even tho most of it consist only of empty but fancy words.
Imagine giving someone 8 MILLION DOLLARS to make an MMO, and you check on them SIX YEARS LATER, and you finally get to see a bit of gameplay, and for some reason it's visually an early 2000's sim game that appears to have been built the night before in unity, and its most exciting feature is NOT getting to choose the characters' clothing options. Absolutely amazing.
He mentioned that having more information on the characters would be "stalkerish". What in the blue hell is he babbling about?
@@Argumemnon It was in regard on being able to see the history of the activities of that character. But for that you need a competent programmer, so it wasn't working in this "demo".
It looks like it is set in medieval times, yet the characters wear modern day clothing.
my favorite part of this game is when you see a bush with berries, and when you pick the berries, the berries from the bush are gone.
And the worst part is there were no berries in the first place
Real-time physics
When i pick the berries, the bush disappears.
@Drumslav Czechisenko the game is so broken that any hope of having berries picked in real time is clearly a scam... This is the cyberpunk of fantasy games but with 1% of the budget. Lol
Pretty sure Age of Empires figured this out in like ‘99.
"Here is a tiny world we created. Allow me 40 minutes to tell you what you can't do in there."
More like a piece of a neighborhood. To call that a world is an insult to real worlds.
In all fairness, as a hobby game dev, I would use those words to describe any of my creations.
It feels like he's been talking for a whole day, and in-game, it's true!
This is so fucking granular it's insane. He actually opens this GAMEPLAY PRESENTATION by talking about what the desktop icon is. Absolute madness.
He’s describing things that are expected by any game ever. ‘So as you can see I can move around the map, and even spin the camera!’. Wow next gen gaming ingenuity there, well done.
The npcs have names over their head though, in text! Just imagine, in 3 more years from now he might be able to figure out how to put an ! over the npc head so indicate it has a quest.
Being a dev myself and knowing that fluid movement + jumping can be done in less than a day in Unity just makes it even more painful to watch :x
They broke the Unity EULA, in order to use the free version of Unity, which displays ' made with Unity' your budget must be less than 100k.
Do you actually believe that any of that 8 million dollars have gone in to this "game"? If you do, you shouldn't..
One note is it says in the past 12 months so if they somehow managed to burn all but 100,000 thousand dollars before the last 12 months then they are.
not to defend these asswipes but isn't it your revenue earned on release? And not your development budget
@@vadeka It's revenue earned yes.
@glyn hodges Not really since all the money they "earned" now are "technically" donations from crowdfunding
I like how he bragged about the incremental build number at the bottom of the screen. That's a basic Unity feature, and you can manually set the build number to anything you want and let it start counting from there. The fact that he was so excited about that shows me not only are they beginner developers but that they recognize that as a way they could make it seem like they were doing actual work.
What they have here is just some art and assets placed in the editor. There's no code other than some basic scripts they've copied from the internet. He claims he has GOAP style AI, but how do you have goal-oriented action planning but don't have any actions or goals to plan? You clearly don't ... you just read about it or downloaded a couple scripts you aren't sure how to use.
This would be kind of cool if it was just a indy or beginner showcasing one of their first ambitious projects and showing us how it's starting to resemble a game. But these guys have been lying about developing this game and collecting money from people for a long time now ... 😐
It's like how I simulate work (when feeling lazy) for my employer. Just commit meaningless/empty changes to the codebase, and watch the commit count grow.
To his credit, Caspian might hold a world record for filibustering.

And another fun fact: The "Fog of War" was mostly used in video games so that the (now ancient) PCs were able to render the game at more than 20 FPS.

Wasnt there fog of war already in warcraft 2 in 1996? Maybe even in warcraft 1...
Is it just me or at 14:23 in this video, when the guy zooms in to the characters and you look at the grass, it seems to me like the grass is floating on the ground, with a watery motion, rather than being "stuck" in one place and just the top half moving.
The start of their gameplay demo sounds a lot like a kid giving a book report on a book when they haven't read it.
"So as you can see, the book has a nice red cover. A nice picture of a Mockingbird on the front, referencing the title "To Kill a Mockingbird". There are 280 pages in this book, and over 100k words! The author is Harper Lee, who you may notice happens to share the same surname as Bruce Lee, though I don't think they are related. That's Lee spelled L-E-E, though sometimes it can be spelled differently..."
Teacher: ok now tell us about the book
Kid: uhhh
@@Dead_Hitori bruh I focking choked on my juice.. I literally imagined that
yep, he's a kid giving a book report that never ends. and the best part is he's got that goofy smile like he thinks he's doing a good job lol. I prefer to imagine him as a delusional child in a man's body, rather than the alternative, a mean-spirited con man. But kid or no, he still took $8 million dollars, and that can't be ignored. If this ever goes to court he's more likely to end up in juvenile detention than prison.

Then the kid proceeds to block the teacher on all social medias
A game called Kenshi that came out in 2013 has significantly more advanced features and physics such as permanent limb damage along with a huge character and race customization and the ability to build your own settlement and stuff and Jeremy's $ 8 million funded "studio" is struggling with some basic features in their "alpha" of a game with a map that looks like a stock Unity map and houses that seemingly resembles one of the medieval house assets from the Unity store.
Wasn't Kenshi made by one dude as well??
@@doctorbrown5957
Basically yes. From Wikipedia:
“Kenshi was primarily developed by a single person, Chris Hunt, who began development around 2006-2008. Hunt worked as a part-time security guard in order to make ends meet for the first few years of the game's development. After five or so years of working his security job, Hunt was able to leave his part-time job and work on the game full-time after finding initial success with the game. He worked by himself on the project until 2013, when he was able to hire a small team that works with him on the project.”

You know a Game company is grasping hard at anything they can to sell the game, and avoid lawsuits, when they talk about a build string like it's a new innovation.
The fog will clear quick, fast, and in a hurry when the courts get involved.
Lmfao 🤣
This would take maybe 3 months to build in unity. If you were a solo developer who had never written a line of code or made a game in your life before.
That's the impression I got too. I feel sorry for everone involved in this game
a game dev at the top comments said, this game could bw thrown together in a day without much experience
@@clazzo6231 It definitely can, NO joke! It would literally take someone 30 to 40 minutes to throw a terrain together, add some foliage with material wind shaders, incorporate a generic UI, and throw in like 5 characters each with their own Idle animation on a loop using Mecanim. It would be Everything you've seen here, AND with MUCH better details at that. Anyone who falls for this mess is a fool. This dude is basically just demonstrating a generic mini game thrown together on the fly, and he's intentionally explaining things in a way to make everything sound more complex than it actually is. Just check this out: ruclips.net/video/LHErE4xLV8k/видео.html
From what I understand, that took a DAY to make with Generic assets on the marketplace. The dev programmed the A.I and gameplay mechanics himself though.
The creator of Elyria keeps talking more about HOW he did something rather than putting all of that focus on the actual gameplay features. REAL developers already know that gamers don't need to understand how the game was made, and really aren't all that interested in technical babble either. They just wanna know what they can do in the game, and ultimately that's the thing that sells the consumer. He's marketing this thing as if his target audience are OTHER developers out there like him who may be interested in UNITYs features too, which makes absolutely NO sense at all. Ironically this is also what blows his cover because devs who DO actually understand unity already KNOW how easy it is to just throw something like this together on their spare time. This game doesn't even offer anything all that special that hasn't already been done before. The average MMORPG today has all of these features, better gameplay over all, and FAR more stunning visuals.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they already move this game to UNREAL Engine 4 in 2020!? How in the hell are they BACK in unity AGAIN?? Moving engines is a PAIN in the ass in and of itself because you have to reprogram everything from the ground up. Its 2 completely different scripting languages for both engines, C# and C++. So what gives? This has got to be one of the BIGGEST scams in history, the fact that its gone on for so long is just mind-blowing.
@@pawprinting Lmao thanks for the insight dude, yeah its a shame really, i think he should take it on the chin and go to court
because he scammed everyone
This game presentation is the perfect cure for insomnia, halfway in my and eyes are getting heavy.

You got me good with this one xD
The "Made in Unity" at the start seems to indicate they are running the free version of Unity since the other versions allow you to remove that and it is a simple checkbox so removing it is not complicated. That seems like a violation of the Unity agreement since a studio that made over 100k in the last 12 months is not allowed to be using the free version.
I'm guessing there needs to be revenue and they aren't selling yet afaik
@@yean5786 But the studio took in over 8 million so I would assume that puts them out of the free version.
@@JMacify Legally, they aren't selling it yet, so it's not a violation. Yeah they got backed for a ton but that could just be like "Yeah this isn't isn't final product we wanted to test this out first before comitting"
The product itself hasn't made any money since it doesn't exist. It's like claiming a game made 8 million dollars because they had a budget of 8 mil when they haven't sold anything
@@radishhat5736 May not work that way. For example small film studios can get their fan film projects and get shut down for simply attempting to make them with no intention of making profit. I would imagine that it could be spun in court that they are making a project with the intention of distributing it for profit. I think that in a courtroom they have a big chance of getting burned.
@@jedimindtrix2142 the problem is that they were funded, its not revenue from a sold product so the money is not categorized as revenue yet, guy is skimming on a loophole.
I'm a solo indie game developer, I can safely say that I could re-make what is in his KoE video in less than a day, not only that I wouldn't use store bought assets nor have bugged AI
There are a few things that stick out to me in this video. Caspian says that the animal AI are constantly wanting to move from one point to another, which to any developer would mean he has the animal AI on a loop of looking for a random spot and then moving to it with no delay and thus you get this result.. Now this is actually fairly common amongst people that have no idea on how AI works or how coding works for that matter - a simple delayed timer would prevent this from happening, there are several things like this through out the "KoE trailer" but I don't want to make my post too long. With that, I don't feel like KoE will ever be in a fully polished releasble state unless he received more funding to pay people that actually do know what they are doing.
Animal AIs don't have models for inquisitiveness, fear, and familiarity? There was research on that for mobile robots in the 90s, so it's not computationally expensive.
No no I was interested keep going
That was pretty interesting, mate. So the AI doesn't wait and move, but instead moves endlessly to a spot, which is why it gets stuck.
Although at the start you see the deer moving about, so that obviously isnt the issue, at some point it must get stuck in some kind of loop like that, but if it was as simple as the issue you are thinking then the deer wouldnt have been moving about at all at any point in the video. He even says 'after a while they stop moving and get frozen'.
Not defending anything, its obv poor coding, but its obv not some extremely basic flaw like that either.
8 million dollars just to be able to harvest berries, apples, branches, and mine a rock!
I've played flash games with more mechanics than this.
even classic runescape had better mechanics than this....
This comment is truth
but they were not in valeria !!! that makes the difference !
"Look: Grass!. Grass is a plant commonly found in many places of the world, its green and usually dont grow more than 10cm....." Let's talk about EVERYTHING on the screen so we can make a very long video. If they talked about the game for real the video would be 2 minutes (one minute is the character walking).
bro a real game doesnt even have a developer talking about it.. it is just a game trailer of really great footage or really bad footage lmfao... this is one of the biggest gaming scams ever
@@NoveGamingReacts True lol
There were times in this video where I genuinely wanted to end it all and I don't even have any money invested into this, I can't begin to imagine what the people who sank thousands would be feeling right now. Holy shit man this was rough
Are you good? That definitely sounds like something you should reach out for help with
@@duetopersonalreasonsaaaaaa boohoo
He's literally explaining a super basic concept in development known as continuous integration. Anyone who uses Gitlab CI/CD pipelines would know how simple those build numbers are and how small tiny changes can get that to bump up. It really doesn't mean much and is a standard practice that most, if not ALL people doing development are familiar with. It really does sound like they're just covering their ass...
Yep and if you're familiar with that stuff, then 30,000 changes doesn't sound like much work at all considering they claim to be building a game
This was exactly my thought. He was talking about it like he was proud of it and just figured out about it himself.
Isn't it some sign of development length? I have 230 commits on a game I've worked on for 6 months in my spare time. Compared to that 30000 sounds like a lot more work done. (Most of which they can't show for some reason)
@@swifterik Until you realise that he's just doing it to cover his ass. Then it's just manipulating the number (Not sure if Unity shows the build-number on it's own or something, but otherwise you can add show 'buildnumber + 33600' as your build. No one stops you).
Or even if you want a genuine buildnumber, just write a small bot to commit the same change and undo for 33000 times.
Seriously, that whole segment was so much "See, we did a lot of work" that it's way too obvious.
@@acajoom It's definitely including CoE, whatever work he did for CoE, that he can't show anyone for some reason. I know it's all bs, but I wonder if there has been some work done that he just mostly had to throw away.
Maybe 25000 commits were done for the Unreal engine version of CoE, but was all thrown away when they switched to Unity and fired all their employees because they ran out of money. Something like that.
It could totally be faked though.
This dude is literally 10 years deep in development making Sims 1 lmao
How dare you insult Sims 1 like that?! It was an amazing life simulator for the time and this crap wouldn't be considered a good game even in the 90s.

@@juliusfucik4011 I don´t see this game making seasons were time is affected by in that regard. My original point is really that a day/night cycle really isnt that unique, that sentence felt more like a "Filler"

If I had a dollar for every time Caspian said "fog of war", I'd have 8 million dollars.
I have zero interest in this game but every interested in your hilarious commentary of this disaster. Thank you and keep doing what your doing!
What he said that they won't be adding any other content till build 8 and it took 4 years to get to build nothing? What the fuck are these testers supposed to test? Standing still in a field and listening to the award winning composer's music?
Damn straight. NPCs must be idling, recent activity list of fake Caspian must be empty, animals being stuck and the FOG will be making the nights intensive. As long as those things work as intended, the alpha test is a KILL.
They will test harvesting branches, duh. That's quality gameplay right there.
Dude wtf are talking about???
That in out zoom/camera looks like hrs of gameplay 💯
This comment knocked me out omg
Caspian is not building a game , his building an evidence.
An infrastructure system for leaving feedback. Such a revolutionary concept.
I hope the next video has even more buzzwords. Perhaps he will combine this feedback system with some sort of unidirectional distributed videographical information transference system.
the contradictions are amusing, "we cant see my characters inventory cos he doesnt have a container" then "you see my character pullls out a sickle, thats cos in this game you have to have every tool in your inventory"
16:25 yeah that's what I envision in a medieval era setting: Yeezy clothes.
"we're not using unity"

I was listening to this in the background...then I heard you say at 38:00 that this dude got $8 million for this game...I immediately stopped my CK3 Campaign to take a look, and holy geeze. 4 YEARS AND $8 MILLION!!! ...this looks decent for a small indie game. But like...how is this taking so long and where'd the money go?

This is just a shameless scam, I'm guessing he payed a student a couple of hundred bucks to put this shit together in a week or two. It literally looks like someones first Unity project.

I like how he is showing the most basic elements of gameplay that could be done in about 2 hours or immediately with assets..probably free ones too. I'm at 14 min and the boredom started the moment he started talking...before the "game play" footage.
Ah, the camera controls, often overlooked, yet absolutely integral to the gameplay experience in Chronicles of Elyria. One might be tempted to think of camera controls as a simple mechanism, a mere functional aspect of the game, but to do so would be to underappreciate the true complexity and elegance involved in something so seemingly basic. Indeed, camera controls are the unsung hero of the gaming experience, and to give them anything less than a detailed exploration would be, frankly, an injustice.
---
When we talk about camera controls, we must begin with the most fundamental question: *What is the camera in a game like Chronicles of Elyria?* It's not just a virtual lens through which you view the game world-oh no. The camera is your *perspective,* your window into the vast, detailed environment that the developers have painstakingly crafted. It is the medium through which your entire interaction with the world is mediated. Without the camera, there is no game, no experience, no adventure to be had.
Now, let's break down the actual controls. In the most rudimentary sense, these controls allow you to adjust the position and angle of the camera, giving you the ability to observe your character and the environment from different vantage points. Typically, this involves moving the mouse or using a controller’s thumbstick, but it’s not just about moving things around-it’s about *how* you move them around. The fluidity of the camera’s movement, the sensitivity of the controls, the degree to which you can pan, tilt, and zoom-these are not just arbitrary settings. They are a direct reflection of the game’s design philosophy and its commitment to providing a seamless, immersive experience.
Let’s linger for a moment on the mouse movement aspect. When you move your mouse, you’re not just shifting a cursor; you’re guiding the camera, directing your gaze within the game world. The connection between your hand movements and the camera’s response is critical. If the sensitivity is too high, a slight twitch could send your view careening wildly, disorienting you and pulling you out of the game. Too low, and it feels sluggish, like you’re trying to wade through molasses just to get a glimpse of what’s behind you. The developers of *Chronicles of Elyria* have surely spent countless hours fine-tuning this sensitivity, balancing it just so, to provide an experience that feels both responsive and natural.
And then there’s the matter of panning and tilting the camera. This is more than just moving the view left and right, up and down. It’s about being able to take in the world from every conceivable angle. Want to see the towering castle from below, emphasizing its grandeur and intimidating architecture? You can. Feel like tilting the camera slightly as you look at the horizon to create a cinematic effect? That’s within your grasp. The freedom to manipulate the camera in this way isn’t just a convenience-it’s a tool that allows you to engage with the game world on a deeper level, to appreciate the fine details, to set up the perfect screenshot, or just to enjoy the scenery as your character meanders through a forest, a city, or a battlefield.
Zooming, of course, deserves its own discussion. The ability to zoom in and out with the camera is far from a trivial feature. It’s a method of control that lets you adjust your field of view to better suit the situation at hand. Zoom in close to admire the intricacies of your character’s armor, the texture of the cobblestone streets, or the expressions of NPCs. Zoom out to get a better grasp of your surroundings, to plan your next move, to see the bigger picture. The zoom feature is essentially a way to control the scale of your experience, letting you toggle between the personal and the panoramic with a simple scroll of the mouse wheel.
But it doesn’t end there. *Chronicles of Elyria* might even offer advanced camera settings, allowing you to customize your experience even further. Maybe you can invert the Y-axis, change the camera’s default position, or adjust the auto-follow settings. Each of these options, while seemingly minor, can drastically change the way you experience the game. An inverted Y-axis might feel more intuitive for some players, while others might prefer the standard setup. The ability to toggle these settings gives players the flexibility to tailor their experience to their preferences, making the game more accessible and enjoyable.
And what about the role of the camera in combat situations? Here, the camera controls take on an even more critical role. During combat, the ability to quickly and accurately position the camera can mean the difference between life and death. You need to be aware of your surroundings, to track multiple enemies, to dodge and strike with precision. The camera becomes an extension of your tactical awareness, allowing you to execute maneuvers with finesse. A well-placed camera can provide a strategic advantage, giving you a better view of the battlefield, revealing hidden threats, and allowing you to plan your moves more effectively.
In conclusion, while it may seem that camera controls are just a basic feature, they are, in truth, the linchpin of the entire *Chronicles of Elyria* experience. Without them, the rich, immersive world would be inaccessible, unviewable, and ultimately unplayable. Every interaction, every moment of exploration or combat, every triumph and every defeat is filtered through the lens of the camera. So the next time you adjust the camera angle, take a moment to appreciate the depth and sophistication of this feature. Because in the end, the camera isn’t just a tool-it’s your eyes in the world of Elyria, and it’s through these eyes that your journey unfolds.
👏
With the amount of time he spends on unnecessary shit like the client build number and horse hair I'm surprised he didn't squeeze in five minutes of explaining how to use the power button on his PC
That will be in the extended cut of the video available for backers.
It took them 3k iterations to have npcs do nothing and animals getting stuck on terrain?
So this right here is the power button. It is a button that functions as a communication gateway from the plastic to the power control unit. Now sometimes the power button can come in a black textile or a grey steel, but, here is something humorous. Yesterday, one of my coworkers suprised me. Once the button is pressed no longer than one second, it will communicate to the power unit to pull electricity from the cable that should be connected to a power outlet in your home. Now a power outlet is
that's for milestone 8
@@Relhio even worse, 33k iterations for npcs who stand around doing nothing
I just wanna point out, if current build number is 33667, and that number was accumulated over the span of 4 years starting from 0 that means that, doing the math, like he clearly hasn't done, this dude had pushed 701 updates/changes _per month_ or about 23 per day, every day, for 4 years.
Massive amounts of pressing X to doubt.
maybe it's pushing a new build everytime they type a new character in the source code.
mmh, even like that, 33667 characters of source code seems a lot for this result xp
It feels like when programmers submit every single change as a separate ticket for commission: “Change log 26834, changed the red RGB value of the grass by 2 points”
You know what? That sounds exactly like how one of my end-term project got done. The assignment was making a single doc file, template provided, calculating the statistics of another existing project on GitHub, but the teacher required us to commits at least 10 times, per student. He literally taught us to change a single comma in the template doc, commit, rinse and repeat until you get all 10 commits done. Mad respect for him.
I know nothing about programming and that seemed ridiculously off even to me. That moment when your lie is so bad that even the uniformed are calling BS. XD
Btw since I just played it: Going Medieval does everything 'hypothetically' shown here and more and it actually works. It's in early access though so still a bit rough around the edges when it comes to some things (like the tutorial abandoning you sometimes for stuff like, how to tend to wounds) but the animals actually move around, you can build stuff, your settlers actually do things. So basically the game they're pretending to build here? It's already on Steam.
Many moons ago, a young wizard by the name of Caspian begged the peoples of the realm for enough coin to create a world of amazement, wonder and entertainment. At last, he has delivered the horror game we have all been waiting for. A world of idle peoples locked in a perpetual daylight cycle, absorbing light from the sun, too terrified to move or interact, through fear of the ever present but sometimes never present fog of war mechanic. A world where people have forgotten fashion and your own clothes clip into your own body.
God bless you, Caspian.
Camera controls are such a basic thing, imagine if Nintendo did a Treehouse stream and talked about Mario going right if you press right on the dpad, and then also left if you press left on the dpad for a whole 8 minutes.
4 years ago they were live streaming the jousting, character creator, lore and it all looked promising, now its a big meme
"We are transparent" = "We talk for 5 minutes straight about how your character can walk"
I've just stumbled across this game from YT recommended and I knew it was going to be amazing when he spent 2 minutes talking about what "build numbers" are LMAO.

This can't hold up in court right? It's like he promised a ferrari but shows progress on the production of a wheel he's creating for a bycicle cuz they're both vehicles that take part in traffic.
I'm sure at some point a flash car was paid for shame that the money should have gone on the game they promised not their back pocket
If this actually goes to a court, they've already lost; the legal expenses would be ruinous even if they win the case. This song and dance is about convincing potential litigants that they shouldn't bother because they won't come out ahead after their legal expenses either.
@@zhentaa It's a class action lawsuit with hundreds, or maybe even thousands of individuals, Jeremy will have no leg to stand on against that many people.

@@ninja12333444 Okay, so they have a breach of contract class action lawsuit. Because they have "overwhelming" evidence, the case proceeds quickly and they reach a final judgement with just $250,000 in legal expenses (and no, that "just" is not sarcasm). Even if 20% of the backers (2,150 people) participate and they're awarded 100% of their investment back, there's only $20k left for the backers. *If* Caspian even has any money left to pay the judgement (you can bet his lawyers were getting paid upfront). And that's practically a best case scenario!
This is my favorite video on youtube. I watch this every other month.
When he's going over the fact that you need different tools for different things, I was like "Isn't that what every life-skill MMO has? Runescape did this literally 20 years ago."

My favorite was how he was trying to make the random "clothing" generation seem like some revolutionary thing. Congrats, you have a defined list of clothing and used a random integer to pick which one is assigned.
