Hi everyone! This is my first video on this new channel. There may be little quality issues here and there, however I will strive to improve! Please subscribe if you're interesting in seeing more content from me. Thank you to @finalforeach for making Cosmic Reach, and thank you for watching!
Pin your comment! 📌
@@Omena0 Thanks, thought I did that.
Glad you liked the game! Also good to see video of the artifacting, although I'm not sure what causes it yet, it does provide a reference for clues to eventually solve it.
Thanks for making it!
everyone, heads up, a legend has commented!
Is it open source like Minetest?
@@vextium Open source is planned when I deal with the license. But for now none of it is obfuscated, meaning you can very much learn from it.
btw daytime on the moon has no stars.
"Prone" is a term mainly used in fps games as a quick-hand for laying-down or crawling, usually referred to as "going prone."
It's not just for fps games. I hear it most often in TTRPGs actually, but that's probably just because I don't play fps games
I don’t play FPS games and have only heard it in the sense of vulnerability.
i followed the devlogs but never realized that colored lights were this cool
I’m getting tired of hearing myself talk about them, but they’re just that special. 😅
Lighting is a triple because you have coloured lighting, so R, G, B, and sky is the sky light.
Ah, I should’ve picked up on that. Thanks!
The moonstone actually looks like "dust" from the Moon! Regolite, in fact.
The lighting is RGB. That's why the second is the highest, but that color is slightly red, and no blue. (Red + green = yellow)
If you press f3 and stand on a block, it tells you its name. The lava is actually cheese, the stone is actually lunar soil, and the cobblestone is basalt or something I forgor.
That may be the case for a later update, but this video was recorded on Pre-Alpha 0.0.1.
My mistake. Go into noclip mode, and then go partially into the block. @@tortellini_soup
@@GuyllianVanRixtel Yes, that’s because the block you noclip into is the same coordinate as your feet, which is where the debug menu samples from.
ik @@tortellini_soup
haha I thought that was what it was at first!
this game needs fluids that glow like lava and realistic thermal emissions
Indeed, it's pre-alpha for a reason.
Or squids that glow. I think it would really add to the atmosphere in an original way never thought of before.
There is a russian dev on CZcams who goes by the name MihailRis. He writes his own Minecraft for almost 5 years now, and is actively sharing the process. While Cosmic Reach brings me a feel of nostalgia for some reason, I somehow don't feel the same about Mihails project. It seems like he doesn't share his work outside the russian-speaking community, but still It looks really neat imo, I suggest give it a look!
Haven’t heard of it, I’ll check it out. Thanks.
Well, it looks like it’s just another MC clone, but like you said, it aims to recreate Alpha or Beta MC, perhaps with actually nicer features? Not sure what the future of the project is supposed to be. I’ll keep an eye on it.
I implemented a similar colored lighting system in the engine for my game. Given the way the colors blend and interact with textures, it seems like it's using hue-based light mixing, which is fairly uncommon, even in popular games.
This is such a cool project. Looking forward to playing with this.
respect to the developer for adding vertical slabs
the lighting is so cool
Casually uses the word dithering but has never heard of the word prone. What an interesting fellow XD
I’ve done pixel art for years!
Its the same for me
I think vintage story is the next minecraft, even though the game has been released for years now
Vintage story is great but I don't think it will capture the same audience as Minecraft with how much focus it has on crafting processes and survival
vintage story, apart from being a survival block game with crafting and mining has nothing in common with minecraft, especially its audience
The jumping sounds like the opposite of what good game feel should be. Which honestly, may just mean that he didn't modify the parabola.
Jumping should be fast, and landing should be slow. Not because it's realistic, it's not, but because it feels good.
Another game that I find interesting is 4D miner, because it is similar to minecraft but with the idea that it is 4D that is unique
Never heard of that one. Not sure what 4D refers to…
@tortellini_soup the game is a 4 dimensional world projected into 3d which is then projected onto your 2d screen
Edit: I thought I should clarify that the projection from 3d to 2d is something that every 3d game must do. That is not unique.
5:40 In minecraft you can tap W twice but also hit L-ctrl, it's just exactly like minecraft
Interesting game. Thanks for the presentation!
BTW: Dithering is a technique to create a gradient with a very limited color palette. So not many different colors but typically just two.
No problem. And yeah, I don’t know why I kept saying dithering, guess I was trying to find the right word and that was the closest match.
I like the idea of colored lights too, but in this video, it’s hard to tell for some of them, especially from a distance
Yeah, definitely didn’t do them justice here, besides my comments. Check my next video or some of the screenshot of other builds on the Discord server.
@28:52, the problem with the water looks like a face culling issue.
also I think that the block base is more of a debug option so finalforeach can tell where the player is at all times.\
@32:22, I'm unsure how much the "visual artifacts" can be fixed. It looks like a Moiré effect and more color differentiation on the moon would probably fix it.
The visual artifacts are due to AMD cards not properly supported yet, on Nvidia cards there is no artifacts.
Hope this game gets a lot of attention
waiting for super hostile maps in this game
Yes, me too! 😁
I have also never heard of the term "Prone" before in that context of crawling.
Right? I suppose it makes sense though. Pronation of the hand is when the palm is facing down instead of up, which is analogous to a character crawling on their belly... I suppose.
what??? how
@@von1477 I am not a native English speaker, so I don't know every single word and all of the different meanings of every single word.
@@tortellini_soup I have never heard about pronation either.
omg first you tried mixing yellow and blue and then you tried mixing red and cyan lol
Fyi both those combinations, when mixing light, just create the appearance of white light
This guy is way under rated
I got 113 fps from 96 chunks
made a mod, proud as duck, come see :D
Funny you called the sprint key interesting when its the same in Minecraft as the others but great video
The functionality in Minecraft must have changed after I stopped playing.
@@tortellini_soup Makes sense, the sprint key was apparently added later on, and the other way has always just been to double tap the forward key
@@IceMcFall Yeah, the double-tap is what I’m used to.
I got a headache type feeling from your jittering movement with the mouse.
Most shooter games have lay down keybind as prone. Like cod for example
seems interesting...
Most important is maje is moddable thats what many people want
Yes, the game is being built in a very data-oriented way in order to allow for easy modding in all kinds of ways!
CZcams thinks this is a MC video. You might want to fix that.
When uploading a gaming video, you’re forced to choose an existing game that CZcams knows about. If you don’t, it’ll choose what it thinks the game is, which in this case is Minecraft. Since CZcams doesn’t know what Cosmic Reach is, the correct game to choose is Minecraft.
Subscribed for your name.
It might be better to actually do something in the first 3 minutes of you video. You know, like not just wave your mouse around a black screen.😊😊😊
Touché.
lol I enjoyed the mouse waving xD
Good stuff
This npc took 6 minutes to start the game
Vintage story exists and is already much better than base minecraft.
Where can I get this game? It looks awesome
Check the links in the video’s description.
@@tortellini_soup Thanks!
A name like cosmic reach kinda tells me everything I need to know.
what language is it programmed in? I sure hope not java. While reliable, it's an extremely slow language.
The game is programmed in Java. Generally speaking, Java has not really been a slow language since 1997 when it got its JIT capabilities. It’s difficult to call a language “extremely slow” without citing a use-case, minimum system requirements for what product is running it, and benchmarking. For something like Cosmic Reach or Minecraft, a major component of speed is also how the game is implemented, which is mostly on the developer, not the language.
@@tortellini_soupThat definitely makes sense when you consider the age of this project's inspiration lol. I just assumed that the JVM was just a universal hinderance (when it comes to speed), but it looks like that's changed
so essentially he did minecraft alpha but space?
This is minecraft 3 terrier was minecraft 1 cuz it’s a lower dimension Minecraft 2 was just Minecraft and Minecraft 4 is 4d craft
next minecraft? not with a generic space name like that
6 minutes 40 seconds of yapping before any actual gameplay is crazy
blocky game with that inventory is literally just minecraft.
It's an alpha with literally only 6 months of dev, the guy developing the game is actually taking a complete different route than Minecraft, to be more of a sci-fi game and also improving Minecraft features and adding new ones.
> alpha 0.0.1
Yeah but it's been completely rebuilt with a ton of optimizations. It'll be going in a different direction too
No it is not
Woah it’s just a straight rip of Minecraft with no innovative features whatsoever how interesting
Castle miner z was more interesting than this
"No innovative features" when the game is literally taking the route of adding features that minecraft never added (colored lights, better render distance, vertical slabs and many more in the future) and I'm not even talking the fact this game is literally a FIRST alpha (0.0.1), with only 6 months of work of a solo dev, stop crying like a baby.
> alpha 0.0.1
Do you look at babies and think "wow, someone made another baby, they're all the same"
it's literally the first alpha, you miserable shoe
10:08 cheese*
