I've always loved the "style" and branding your channel has. I know you probably won't see this, but I just wanted to say that you are such an inspiration for me right now in so many things: GameDev, Content creation, Graphic design and so much more! 😁

[@jordanrichardson2367]

Wish you would’ve leaned in more with how JavaScript worked for your game. I gave up C++ because it was too stressful, but with you having literally no experience at first made me realize that I could start back… If I wanted to

[@PigRaid1]

Brocode has amazing videos if you wanna learn a language. Im watching his java series rn and its been a blessing to have him put the content on youtube.

[@Malinzo]

I literally just started to code for my Masters Thesis and it is so fun! Right now I am only coding scienc-y stuff with a lot of data extracting and auto writing files, but I would love to try out some game coding later down the line!

[@MintUploads]

man i hope to reach your level one day. CS is beating me down right now.

[@ScopeCrepe]

Go for it!

[@kitcat2449]

Definitely try it out. I realized I didn't like making 3D games becaude of the modelling lol but I'd like to try creating 2D games when I have time. I have more experience in digital drawing than 3D modelling so that will probably be more fun for me.

[@kitcat2449]

​@@MintUploadsgood luck, don't give up. It will be worth it 🙌

[@destroyermob]

@@MintUploadsvery different type of programming, they're mainly focused on data and math, so very different from regular programs, especially what is focused on in CS

Of course he made a Capybara game, everyone has to make a Capybara game at some point. It's like the modern gaming equivalent of Hello World.

[@ashtonfinkenbinder7233]

@@Goodgishow are you doing this style. I am super new to design. Can you tell me what this style is called I can probably take it from there and also what design software are you using?

[@SomeHumbleOnion]

Dude this is perfect 😭 the capy looks insanely cute I want to play this so badly 🤣 Also really dope to see you make it in Javascript! My first real experience with gamedev was with Phaser so making games in Javascript has a special place in my heart :'')

[@RKIOrbMage]

Great video! Your vector art is always awesome!

[@vilet918]

It's so cool to see this! I've been learning Javascript Development using P5.js (it's not really meant for games but I've used it for a while for art and it's both less intimidating then vanilla JS and gives me more control of designing my engine in a way that more game focused libraries don't) Right now I'm in the middle of a space invaders clone and it has been so much fun! I'm getting a little drained by how long it's taking and this was just what i needed right now. I never realized what a motivation boost it would be to recognize the code on screen, it felt homey. Your game looks adorable and Kaboom is an awesome choice for a library, great job!

[@BusinessWolf1]

If vanilla Js is intimidating to you, you have a much bigger problem than what library to use, and also you have absolutely no clue what you actually want from a library, because you haven't broken bad beliefs and built new ones about programming. You are at the start of the dunning kruger curve. Move forward on it before you do anything else, otherwise your projects will have bad code, bad architecture, will be impossible to maintain, completely unintelligible, and when you get better you will dread looking at their code again.

[@blueninja012]

​​@@BusinessWolf1sorry, but this advice seems pretty bad "Move forward on [the dunning kruger curve] before you do anything else" how are they going to get further ahead with doing things? the most basic-level advice you can give anyone is to fail over and over again, right? shouldn't they make all of the bad, completely unintelligible code and architecture and use it as a learning experience for the future?

[@bennihtm]

Can we play Hoppibara?

[@JuhoSprite]

Not only do we get another cute looking time killing game, we also get some awesome new Dewdrop sneakpeeks, love it!

[@CornyCone257]

[@bluepomodoro3679]

By any chance you happen to have a course on how to design sprites/pixel art with certain design principles or best practices? I've build a simple dino game but damn, your visuals really transformed it into something else. You should create a signup list for it and see how many people would interested in the course, cuz I'm sure there'll be quite a demand for it. Would definitely sign up for a course just like that to up my design skills cuz it's ass hahah.

[@barboragustafsson3451]

I've been learning javascript for a while and you are the first one to say it is easy, thanks for the motivation. Really good video :)

[@sadlife5265]

was looking for this comment to make sure i'm not dumb and he's just odd lmao.

[@mochichi5068]

this is literally the cutest game ive ever seen, and as someone that also loves js, this is an automatic sub

[@julioandrewssp]

Cute game I must say I wish you would go over the JavaScript part of it more. In the end, it was a just a video about making simple cute game, and nothing more There's nothing wrong with it, and it was cool to watch, but since the premise was about making a game in JavaScript, I was hoping to see what differences there were between the organization/problems & solutions/e.c. there would be between a JavaScript game with any other one Maybe it was all just about promoting Brilliant? Idk Besides that, it was a chill video

[@cloudpixell]

I LOVE your art style it is SOOO CUTE!

[@RubyR3d793]

You should make a game in Microsoft Makecode Arcade next. Its default is blocks, but it is slightly different than Scratch's blocks. You can also change it to JavaScript or python if you want. It is good for retro style games like Dewdrop Dynasty. But it only has the amount of buttons a game boy has (hence the retro aspect) so it might be hard to work with. I love your videos! 😀

[@synthcqt]

i made a huge game in that scratch and makecode are the beginner ones and i have become a pro at them so i have moved on to unity + visual studio 2022 and its going well

[@emalinu]

Could we get a tutorial/vlog video of you doing your designs? I've always loved this artstyle, that's what made me subscribe lol!

[@ashtonfinkenbinder7233]

You should’ve added a special feature where if you go past an orange box theres a warning telling you to resist the oranges and if you die on an orange box on the you died menu it should say how you fell for temptation.

I've made games and apps with just straight html/JavaScript (no framework). Feels nice clicking on an html file and instantly loading a game, but developing something so complex with a language that uses runtime errors and loosely typed variables is a nightmare at times.
