18:54 if anyone missed it :)

That is a great idea, this game does REALLY awesome adding in real world data.

The only problem with that is the scale of the ships. Looks like they'd be too big for the Suez, for instance. I'm sure he'd figure out some workaround, though.

@@PenitusVox well... if some ship got stuck in Suez... That would be very unfortunate.

@@Dreadnote-pf7of, too soon, bruh.

I was also hoping he would add trucks or at least some kind of land traffic. It could definitely add a lot of life into the land as well.

I love the video

It's geography

@@briandunfee4326 It's geology. Geology is about the Earth's crust. Geography is a science discipline about the Earth in general. So it's both geology and geography.

@@parasaurusparasaurus does he talk about the Earth's crust. I don't remember. Im not sure I watched the whole video. From what I remember, he was talking a lot about countries and locations.

@@briandunfee4326 He talked a lot about geology at the beginig. Tectonic plates, the underwater mountain range etc.

hahahahhhahaa yuppppp

True

😂 yeah

he is indeed voice

I like that approach for giving the option. For casual play though, just to play to get points, the arrow would help casual gamers get into it. The other way is totally like a quiz... maybe in that sort of quiz mode, it could take a second and show you how wrong you were like ... nope, this city is on the other side of the world! that way, it gives like a "learn from mistakes" sort of flow.

He could also add a score system based on time and proximity (of delivery), similar to geoguessr. And add wind currents that accelerate the plane.

Could time the deliveries, so you can strategically choose routes based on how desperately the package is needed, how late it is, etc. But that may take away from the chill atmosphere

That’s what I was thinking, like a small arrow in a close proximity to the plan that points to the country.

An arrow to the destination on a compass rose, or a heading bug on a tape. This should be for kids to learn geography. You should be told the country that you are currently flying over, so players can learn where each country is as they fly around. The target city should be highlighted on the map, (maybe like a little bull's eye?). Weather simulation (wind, rain, lightning) would be interesting also. Pilots need to know how to handle the weather situation just as much as knowing where to go. So the game should "pay" you for each delivery based on how long it takes to accomplish, (less money for not getting it done in a timely manner). This could just be a simple ticker that counts down as a function of time. Your 'money' is really just an expression of fuel burn, and the game ends when you are out of fuel (ie. you cannot continue the flight to the destination). After so many deliveries, you are "leveled up" and you are offered a chance to upgrade your equipment (with the money you have earned)... or buy better airplanes. Bigger planes can go faster, make longer flights, and deliver larger payloads, but also cost more money to maintain and burn more fuel, etc. Then there could be special 'bonus' missions that pay more, and there could be some obstacles, like having to avoid mountain ranges and large thunderstorms...

id probably need the country names to be shown to get the packages anywhere near close xD

like geogussr?

Reminds me of the Take Off! board game.

I remember something like this back when the Commodore 64 was shiny and new. It had you fly a rotating X over a Netherlands-shaped green slab, trying to find towns. I hated it. Computers weren't supposed to teach you things!

I was thinking this the whole time. I suck at geography and if I had this in highschool I would have probably been much better at it.

books + google

You can honestly learn a lot and even to do it yourself. This guy's content is really awesome and there is another channel called reubs who remade the ps2 game Simpsons Hit and Run in unity. Check it out and if you find this awesome you should have a go at it too!

@@fpsterby Thanks for the heads-up and hope you have a great day :)

Damn dude you must be a genius to build your own computer from scratch.

@@elpolodiablo5486 Nope, I'm nowhere near being a genius.... I just watched A LOT of youtube how-to videos before I started building my own pc :)

Dang you beat me by 4 days! I just commented the idea too before reading the comments. 😭

Indeed

I'm pretty sure making these videos is Sebastian's full-time gig

Idk really I've been developing a game in my spare time and I'm about to break the 3 year mark and I'd say I'm 60% done. It's amazing the things he does

This is what he does

This forsure his moms account

To add to this, there should also maybe be different assist levels as well. On a low level, you get a compass pointing to the city. Then on higher levels, the compass turns into just a warmer/colder beep, until you get no help at all. I think it would also be interesting to put a time element into the mix as well, where you get graded on how fast you get to the city. This could especially be a good test when you have lower assists. The grade should sort of be a weighted average based on all these elements, kind of how Forza Horizon adjusts the reward you get from a race based on the amount of assists you have turned on. Maybe the grade gets you points you can spend on nicer planes and stuff??

Also, stating the city's population, and proceduraly generate cities according to population, to have a better idea of wich one's the city you have to drop the package to

And upgrades. Lots of upgrades so that the player can find his/her own playing style.

Yes, that was I though when I saw him droping "gifts" that could be great. From Argentina.

Bro that’s genius

The Byzantine Empire.

I always thought Santa delivers from the North Pole but from Ireland is good too I guess..

I love the way he talks, it seems like he is always smiling

Imagine what it's like for someone who is! It's pretty amazing.

Showing the failures yet pressing on anyway is a good part of that. Though the quiet inspirational music doesn't hurt!

That's the voice true pure passion

What's amazing is not just his ability to build these things but also create the educational visualisations to help us understand how they work.

@@hojdog Exactly! I have a small understanding of code (a few classes in college and that one time as a kid I took a Minecraft mod making program) but I can follow along with any video easily. That’s a skill we sometimes take for granted when consuming content

Agreed. Sebastian's videos always trigger my impostor syndrome :D

100% agree, haha. Been working professionally as a programmer for a million years and still this guy instills awe. Amazing stuff. :)

For real! Not a GeoGuessr, but a Paradox-Map-Game-Enthusiast tho. Nonetheless a round world with accurate Mountain-ranges and sizes is everything someone who stares at flat maps all day wants in his life.

When u know ur a good programmer is when u only have to use one search to get the right stack overflow article

@@macaronmunch793 facts lmao, sometimes it takes me hours

@@macaronmunch793 I find that the most efficient way for me to find answers to questions I have about programming is to post it to stackoverflow. Within minutes someone's managed to find a question that has an answer for me, succeeding in the place I spent several hours failing.

I love this comment. I’m currently doing the same

@@macaronmunch793 I had to use this obscure Python library for a computer science class. Jeebus crackers, I hurt.

I know I would have loved this as a study tool when I was in geography

What about a Geoguesser type game with variable sea levels to really get home how much it's all going to change due to climate change?

100% agree. Some kind of highscore system + difficult system and voilá!

I thought the same thing

So geo guesser?

Geoguessr's idea of rounds could work well here as well: deliver 5 or 10 packages as accurately as possible (and as fast as possible?). Add worldwide leaderboard (and by country) and that's already great. You could get a small polaroid photo of the place you're delivering to(ripped from google earth database or something)? It could create little bit depth to the deliveries when you see that the delivery is to the center of paris or to some remote village. The plane could need to fuel which would add strategy to choosing the locations, but would also make the game more stressful. Getting off the rails, but... Other thing that comes to mind is changing the camera in-game for a special delivery strike: the plane would dive and speed up, while the camera would move to 3rd person and you'd get a target area highlighted. This could only be done when close to the country or once per game or something, but you could use that as a simple radar to help with completely unknown countries(once per round). Or maybe just a radar. Or, if not for the delivery strike, maybe you'd need to take a picture of the package pirates plane to have them arrested and that would be done in 3rd person camera. Winds could also be a factor to add a skill element, so the packages would drift a bit according to a wind pattern that could be overlaid to the planet when holding a key. Not sure if this is a good idea though, maybe if the drift factor is small. There could be emergency packages to be delivered in hurry, like bring supplies to Antarctica, or put down forest fires, or entertain ppl at a celebration with a flyby, or fly gpu's to gamers. If taking it to more skilful direction, it would be nice to get some graphs of your efficiency at delivering, Sebastian makes the best graphs :D The skill element might fit with the idea of package pirates Sebastian mentioned. Oh, also a barrel roll with the plane is a must. Maybe just for fun or to dodge package pirates or something.

Exactly my thoughts

@@z3dar I love the idea of forest fires and having to put them out as well as the weather mentioned. Having to avoid hurricanes. I also love the idea of getting a score based off of accuracy, time, and maybe even make it so you have multiple packages and you have to drop the correct one.

​@@henryj.walker2025 The problem with time based score is that the randomisation of targets would be the main factor in scores(close by targets lead to high scores) which is not optimal. One way to solve this would be to make the time score relative to the distance of selected target(and weigh it to score longer distance more). I think that could be great! It would add tons of depth to the game: You have fueling, so distances matter as you lose time score when refueling; But to balance it out, the farther the next target, the more time score you can get. This'd would mean that selecting far away targets, knowing the shortest path, and best fueling spots, and ofc dropping the cargo accurately would lead to the highest score. That sounds like a good balance of skill, experience and luck. Add the pirates with some cool dodging and photographing mechanism and some random challenges/events(always x amount per playthrough to keep it fairer for leaderboards?) and you have an awesome game.

You can add tourist charter flights to the mix so players will get to see all the wonders of the world at the destinations like Pamukkale, Ayers Rock or Tugela Falls.

there is no camera??

@@VampireSquirrel 0:00

Nice

Indeed 😅

Yes ✨🎍 Oh yeah: Netherlands

I was getting a bit stressed while editing as the video length kept creeping towards the 30 minute mark, thinking no one could possible be interested in watching for that long. So that's nice to hear haha!

@@SebastianLague When I'm watching your videos I literally keep wishing "please don't be over, please don't be over". Btw: Germany

Or just include a relaxation mode into the game

tornadoes and thunderstorms would make more sense

Definitely agree adding weather and other natural phenomena is the way to go. I feel like the gameplay could also be more than just dropping packages, though. Just a random thought I had, maybe the ships (or something) could communicate to you and give you a message or something to pass on to some other place in the world. I think adding more elements like that, where you have to juggle multiple things at once, could make the game more interesting, but maybe thats just me :)

I was thinking the same thing, I would have loved something like this

Definitely! Kids who have been taught via video games such as minecraft education edition have been found to be way better than kids who have been taught with books.

@@als0689 source ?

@@Doge_Spartan hundreds of articles have said that video games make children focus way more. Plus it’s also common sense.

@@als0689 i know bro 😂 I was just being sarcastic 😂 I thought you would reply : Source:Trust me bro xD

Difficulty filtered by distance and population size of the city.

And Different Camera Position by Just pressing C

I thought about picking up the packages from the clouds. You could even use real-time lightning data for where the packages appear (or to get bonuses like extra speed).

-default Atmospheric look and eagle's eye view for package drops (used to slow down as well) -multiplayer competition for delivering packages (geography knowledge might be the advantage for choosing closer locations, however farther locations give more points) players have the same objective cities so snatching the drop first might generate fun moments

A compass in a hud would also be nice

Yeah I'd love for the player to be able to change the camera angle perhaps, maybe a little minimap that always maintains north-facing direction and gives a more recognisable view?

And then put some fuel items as refills when an airplane is running out of fuel. That would be more challenging. Also gas button to speed up traveling but reducing fuel bar. Just Suggesting.

Simplicity of gameplay would be better I think. Maybe add a time limit for each package, and the option of customizing your plane. Maybe a mode where you're in a boat instead of a plane, & only have to deliver to coastal cities.

@rennid xD

Maybe there's a night ma of the world that can be used to simulate the lights of cities at night, would love to see him continue this project :)!

It's great! It's a more graphically involved version of GeoGuesser, which has a lot of following because it's satisfying to test your world map knowledge. Better keep it rather simple and let the trivia part at the center of it. I would love to play it on my android, even the beta version. Will it be available rather soon?

Oh, how i wished some talented, young Programmers would make a HunterxHunter Game. Until now, no one has done real-good with this, despite the franchise being so super-popular and it’s magic-system being even more popular.

@@slevinchannel7589 Idk why but i feel like there's not that many good anime games out there despite the fact that there's a lot of big fanbases out there which is kinda weird

@@ramiztudio3208 Haven't played it in years tho, but i remember one Naruto game being pretty good, don't know if it was just because i was a kid and didn't know the difference between a good and bad game

Great idea! Maybe adding different airplanes depending on learned continents would add some reward for the studying😁

@@RealSavage7 you sound like there is something wrong with that? also like 99,9% of adults couldn't tell you where every country is - can u?

@@yunom00n. exactly- and there’s no adult that could tell you the location of every city. No person.

@@nevada7174 as someone who really enjoys looking at maps, whether that just be naming all countries in the world, watching videos on maps, watching gameplay of games that utilize maps a lot (such as HOI4, EU4, pretty much any paradox map game). I can tell you that I don't know jackshit on cities. I can locate almost every country on a map just fine, besides the oceanic island countries. But I can barely name like 20 capital cities. I would struggle hard to locate them on a map, let alone non capital cities. Even If I was given country borders and locations of non capital cities to base it off of, I would maybe get 10 out of 197 correct. Essentially the guy claiming that this would be a good idea for kids and kids only is simply incorrect. If they can give proof of them naming AND locating them, then I guess this wouldn't benefit them. But I really doubt they would be able to do so.

This is genius! I think it should give you a vague idea of where the package is being delivered though, maybe direction at least.

Kids would find it boring and frustrating. It would be better to make an actually fun game that teaches geography passively by using irl locations.

Yeah, this should be used in schools

@@slimysomething At the moment, but the potential is there to make a great educational game

Beat me to it!

@@slimysomething you know what's boring? Using Google Earth to complete my homework assignment. I think this was definitely like that assignment more enjoyable and more appreciative. College student here

Awesome, thanks for watching!

yeah this could be a great educational game

@@moldybaguette567 Another fellow Capetonian. I figured Sebastian must be from South Africa when he mentioned loadshedding in one of his videos 😅

@@adriaan3883 Having moved Australia from SA, I can pick up a few South African pronunciations here and there, which is what clued me in.

THIS ...and he can teach us multiplayer :D

Fairly sure this game heavily relies on the gpu.

@@squeakybunny2776 Almost completely, even. Pretty much everything is running on shaders. ..and do iPads even allow for Compute shaders?! It's also going to be a pain to render all those vertices and handle culling...

in a time when geoguesser is a huge game this could easily be a multiplayer game with current system already 10 people join the lobby, you get the city, first 9 to deliver the closest to the target (or x to deliver in some time) advance to the next round and so on

Smart thinking!

@@NoTenJakMuTam Sebastian needs to hook up with GeoWizard I'm sure he'd have a blast playing this

I think the source code is already on his patreon so you could technically buy it

Lol

I love this idea, I think guessing the right place if you don't know it will be stressful enough! It would be cool to have plane customization, and maybe also making the locations less random. Like option 1 could be within 2 or 3 countries away, 2 could be further and 3 could be very far away.

nah. bring the pirates on

@@AverageAlien Toggle Pirate Mode 😁

He could add a war mode where you battle other planes and have machine guns. Maybe shoot targets too, like a battleship

@@Avetho nope, luckily for me I didn't take this challenge... I don't hope someone will

I would love to get compute shaders properly explained. I watched every video out there about them but still can't wrap my head around them. It's dauting.

Also really educational if used correctly - I'm thinking this could be a fun, end-of-term competition for an early-to-mid high-school geography class. You might need to add a "Here's where the country is" popup on the hud if you get it completely wrong though.

With only a little bit more work, this could indeed be great. 👍 Except maybe the size of the plane and ships and the altitude of the plane. I'm fine with them being not to scale and not moving at realistic velocities, but I feel like they are slightly too exaggerated. But that's an easy fix.

🤗🤗🤗🤗

Yeah, absolutely! I'm not nearly as familiar with world geography & topography as I would like, and a casual flying sim like this with random delivery targets would be a really fun way to start fixing that. It would be great to tie the zoom level to the aircraft velocity, so you can quickly fly around the globe then spend some time trying to get as close to your intended city as possible. Also... perfectly top-down with dropping parachutes made me dizzy.

I was thinking this as well. I'm horrible with countries and especially cities so definitely want to try it to help, but would be so good in a school setting as a fun way for kids to learn. This is the way we should be teaching, rather then memorizing give them something fun to do that makes them actively want to learn 🙂

I would like to play this game

yeah and it should give funfact about the city/country after delivering a package

I think this could be put on Steam for like 3.99$ i'd buy it

Same thing I was thinking, dropping off packages at sea etc and chess boards at Vostok

I agree, you could start with countries, the move to capital cities, and progressively get harder

He does seem quite exceptional

I feel like every video that this guy posts is a masterpiece, every time it's so good to watch, calming

The street lights would look weird, as if they magically appear out of thin air at night, but other than that it would make for a convenient way to traverse the globe at nighttime, rather than having the sun constantly following you. In fact, making the deliveries at specific times of day would probably add more depth to the game, adding more challenge and whatnot.

that's too rasterized and low-res. should instead use the city and its population dataset, and scale up the blob of light proportional to population.

@@mfaizsyahmi With some sort of noise-driven offset.

You would have to use light pollution data and and population data because there are areas (like North Korea) that have very little light pollution due to lack of power or perhaps fear of being bombed.

i would play that !

I would love it

Another idea: have a 'keep north up' view mode.

@@JLK89 that would be cool to watch on the poles

That would be neat, but compiling the list of fun facts would be a ginormous effort. He sort of skims over how much data prepping he had to do for various source things on this already.

@@Nighzmarquls I was thinking it would grab the data from Wikipedia

Yes

I fully agree with you, adding weather data, and leaving other planes out of it would be really satisfying. Also adding city lights during the night and some form of lighthouse would look amazing. I really think this could be sold as a geoguesser game on steam for a couple of bucks.

@@benjamintomassennordahl7911 i definetly would by it for 5,6 euros

Without other planes it will get boring quickly

Yes

It would be so much better than learning on schools.

Thats a pretty good idea

I teach geography for 7 graders and im sure they would love to play this in class

Yeah - maybe not quite Carmen SanDiego, but any number of smash hits have made it on less.

All of this!

A little compass would be nice.
