How I made Math: Final Boss

Published 2024-08-09
This video might be the most ambitious project I’ve ever made. It may not look like much considering it’s only 16 minutes long, but putting together all the animations and effects was a nightmare. I also ended up having to start all over at one point because I just didn’t like the direction it was going.
I even made a custom boss theme for the opening animation section. I was originally going to use Twisted Garden for it but then decided to make my own theme for it. I should have a full song ready at some point but I’ll have to see where my motivation takes me for that.
Factoring in everything I wouldn’t be surprised if this video took me over 100 hours to make. Hopefully videos won’t take me that long to make in the future. Hope you enjoy it!

Great overview! You've really covered every Desmos trick in the book while keeping it viewer friendly. Looks like it was a blast to edit!
-
This is soooo cool. All the different techniques you used to make the shapes as well as optimize the animation are amazing.

When you go into minesweeper and boss music starts:

i am so impressed by this i dont even know what to say, the amount of approaches to making all the different shapes and all is so awesome
-
Great explanations, incredible music choices, absurd dedication, 10/10 video
-
This is a really cool BTS, thought it was MUCH more complicated than this lol. I didn't even know you could make stuff like polygons and lists in Desmos!

4:33 "Standard x & y equations" continues on to show to most unintelligible math equation I've seen
-
nameless deity looking hella weird ngl

Yet another masterpiece. I totally feel for you with the runes, i can't fathom why you decided to trace them manually. Literally yesterday i finished making a program that does exactly that automatically, with the added bonus of importing any character from any font. It did take me 3 days instead of a few hours, though, so I guess I'm the sucker.
