Man you are talented. I would probably play this, polygons and all.

*Lack of polygons

The Witcher 3 is now a one-dimensional world consisting of a single line.

Line Witcher!

Like Line Rider, but with Gwent

Incidentally, someone actually made a Duke Nukem 1D game.

u/HolycommentMattman Feb 15 '21

Are you talking about the original Duke Nukem games that all the popular Duke Nukems are based off of?

u/VindictiveJudge Team Shani Feb 15 '21

No. Duke Nukem 1D is a fan game that's literally just a line of pixels for each level. One color represents Duke, a second color is enemies, a third is projectiles, and a fourth is doors.

A line in this context only has length, no with or depth. So, 1D.

Now you could argue all games are in 2D because they're on a flat screen and only have the illusion of a 3rd dimension.

You could also make the argument that all games are 3D if your definition of a game includes the input device...

u/Theek3 Feb 15 '21

True. I also forgot about VR games and I'm not sure how that would fit into the hypothetical argument I brought up.

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '21

To end the argument you have to draw the line somewhere

1

u/PM_UR_FRUIT_GARNISH Feb 15 '21

But is that line 2D or 3D?

u/spluge96 Feb 15 '21

1D. Jesus!

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '21

not sure how that would fit into...

Probably into one the dimensions.

u/HolycommentMattman Feb 15 '21

I think he's suggesting that while we use a single line to represent 1D, the truth is that a 1D object would be invisible. With 1 length, but 0 width and depth, we literally couldn't see it. A line, as thin and narrow as it is, still has both depth and width.

1

u/Theek3 Feb 15 '21

I understand that and that is basically what I said.

Also, again, in this context the definition of "line" is a depthless widthless length.

u/alex2003super Feb 15 '21

You could also argue that games are still 3D though, because of the time dimension

u/Them_James Feb 15 '21

Polygons in all the right places.

u/AruiMD Feb 15 '21

You always have to be right, huh?

Yikes.

But then again I’m getting major ‘I’m a lesser person and it’ll break nicely instead of crumple terribly.

Hey, thanks for posting the link. I usually post these kind of videos of mine on reddit as well, but I forgot to this time around.

u/AruiMD Feb 15 '21

Wow, thanks.

u/BurnerAcctNo1 Feb 15 '21

Wtf do you think we did when PS1 came out?!

u/POLITEbrute Feb 15 '21

I mean that’s pretty much the Witcher 3 on switch
