Crab Rave is on the front page of US YouTube today... it just never seems to stop! I thought
@pewdiepie
killed it in November? Seeing it still growing after originally being a small joke is pretty surreal. Genuinely really cool to see all the content people are making around it.
If you told me years ago that my first track to hit 10 million views would be an April fools video about dancing crabs that spiraled out of control into a meme I wouldn't have believed you, yet here we are... Thanks to everyone who watched the video!
The meaning behind the numbers has been found.
Searching "11 146 15 62 google maps" into Google and clicking the first link will take you to...
Well, see for yourself.

If you missed it yesterday, I announced my game
@CrabChampions
Since this is a solo project (no publisher or companies involved), helping spread the word about it goes a long way. Check out the trailer here:
Wow I’m floored by the incredible response to this tweet. It’s so motivating to know that the work I’ve put into the game over the last few months is going in the right direction 🦀
It's time to celebrate!🥳
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is now available in New Zealand! 🇳🇿

It's been one week since the
@CrabChampions
reveal trailer dropped and the response so far has been INCREDIBLE (600K views on the trailer and 14000 Discord server members). I'm floored by how many people genuinely want to play it and are sending constant motivation my way.
Extremely surprised and grateful to have been awarded a grant for the music videos I've been making with
@UnrealEngine
. Thank you so much
@EpicGames
! None of the videos would be possible if it wasn't for the amazing and fully featured FREE engine + tools that can do so much.
Huge round of applause to the latest round of Unreal Dev Grant recipients! $800,000 goes to 30+ individuals and teams working on a wide variety of

Absolutely blown away by the reaction to Crab Rave, didn't expect an April Fools video to do this well. It was so much fun to work on. If you missed it, you can check it out here:
I haven’t released new music in a while but thank you for sticking around and making 2020 my most streamed year on Spotify! Can’t wait to drop the game and soundtrack album to make up for the lack of content 🔥 Here’s a pic of my dog Monty to bless your timeline 🐶
An incredible year, thank you to everyone that listened to Crab Rave and made it possible for me to take time off music to focus on developing
@CrabChampions
which would not have been an option before. So much content to share next year, can’t wait 🦀🔥
@MrBeastYT
Haha you have just replicated the secret crab dance that I did every day while making the track to get in the spirit. Just add more crabby head movement and you’ve nailed it 🦀🦀🦀🦀
Also there is an incredible community building up in the discord currently, I'll be sharing exclusive updates and rewards here. If you are interested in the game, you can join here:
Had a chat with
@Monstercat
about my thoughts on music at the moment, working with
@ForeignBeggars
, how
@UnrealEngine
is the future for all visual media and more! Have a read here:
@UnrealEngine
@Jeremiah3D
Control rig is amazing, will be making all anims in engine from now on. Such a smooth iteration loop especially for small touches: no moving back and forth between external software and exporting / importing files, incredible workflow!
The video was rendered entirely with
@UnrealEngine
. Took about 2 months to make but learned a lot in the process and was a lot of fun to work on. Really appreciate all the support on the direction I'm taking with the art and videos.
Thanks once again to
@Monstercat
for the release, and to
@UnrealEngine
for creating the incredible tools that made it possible. It's amazing to be able to create content and see the final result in real time: that would have been impossible for a solo project a few years ago.
Calling it now, UE5 will change how the world creates 3D content. If you want to learn how to make games, still artwork, music videos or even films, there’s no better software to learn- it can do it all 🔥
The Variety Update Part 2 (Early Access Update 8) is OUT NOW!
💍 RELICS: UNIQUE NEW LOOT CATEGORY

@MuzzyMusic
🦀🦀🦀 While it won’t be released, it doesn’t stop you replacing all of the music in your live sets with crab rave dnb mix back to back right? Or double drop every track with it..... just some good pointers for a successful show!
@UnrealEngine
@DaluzLuciano
Working on a procedural island generator combining the power of UE4 and
@sidefx
Houdini. So much fun to get an entire island created from scratch (including placing all gameplay elements and audio) in a matter of minutes.
@Ghastly
@pewdiepie
Thanks man! Yeah I think that even though it’s a joke there is some kind of appeal that brings people back. If it was released without the video it would be nowhere. Definitely a big learning lesson for me moving forward- the audio is really only half the package in many cases.
Couldn’t resist doing a quick Unreal Engine 5 test. Opened a very old scene and re-lit it in a few minutes. Being able to see the light bouncing and colours mixing in real time is nothing short of incredible. So exciting for the future of games and creative digital media!

@SeizuresPalace
Yeah I did, was basically a test project to figure out the pipeline for a music video and put the learning I'd been doing in UE4 to use!
