Damn i just found out your channel and literally was watching your Minecraft videos. And now you just uploaded. Great.

haha same here

same here LOL

[@Jimmy_Hutch]

Same! This guy's stuff is great

[@jorgecruces185]

same here lmao

[@jeffffff]

same... youtube algorithm hit us all lol

[@beetmacol2126]

Yeah you were a bit lucky about the KZbin algorithm. I have seen all three videos you uploaded a few hours ago.

[@kaitlyn-gracesmith7923]

There is no such thing as luck with the algorithm just statistics...basically everyone who was presented this video when it was first uploaded watched it all the way through and or seemed to enjoy it so the algorithm deemed it an entertaining video (I dont know if you care but im just in the mood to talk about things I love)

[@beetmacol2126]

@@kaitlyn-gracesmith7923 the videos were public for a good amount of time and KZbin decided to recommend them after a few months. I've seen a few good quality videos that never really became so popular. Yeah it was selected because people liked to watch the entire video and probably shared it with others, so KZbin decided to recommend it themselves, but it was relatively lucky that the process even started. Also do you mean you love KZbin or the algorithm lol?

[@chromosundrift]

@@beetmacol2126 @GracefullKait you're both right. There is luck because it depends on the audience youtube decides to recommend the videos to but it's not merely random as statistics is used (although if it's fancy statistics you can call it data science or ML). Videos require enough watch time to get statistically significant data on who it should recommend to and the whole channel needs enough videos and views for it to bother suggesting it. Whenever it decides to recommend a video, there are countless others it could have chosen to recommend, some of which have already proven success. So it's a dynamic system with feedback loops and chaotic potential, deterministic but not necessarily precisely macro-predictable.

[@lordmwmw7576]

Also his videos are just *really good*

[@jacobfenech7662]

Wow you've really grown as a youtuber. You have much more confidence in this video than the first one.

[@jdh]

Hahaha a few months in between each video will do that. Appreciate it.

[@thatcipher]

I swear you're by far my new favorite dev youtuber.

[@Basedologist]

This content is literally amazing, I’m feeling inspired to get back onto my own projects now. Your thorough explanations as to how you went about coding something makes so much damn sense and I just can’t get enough of it lmao

[@TheDroidsb]

I don’t even know how I got recommended your videos but I’m sure glad I did, already binged the videos you have and hyped to see you uploaded this morning! Cant wait to see what else you got in store my guy! Such amazing quality for a smaller channel.

[@rifaldhiaw]

I always wondered how to achieve this level of programming? so... satisfying to watch

[@Finkelfunk]

Ikr? So fluent and he barely even debugs his program before he's written at least like 5000 lines of code That is the difference between studying computer sciences and hobby programming.

[@chromosundrift]

yeah, get inspired and practice making your own!

[@GTLugo]

I love your chill, thought-out delivery. Hope you keep with these great videos!

[@kodaworms]

these are such high quality videos!! you're one of my new favorite creators & designers and i can't wait to see what you do in the future! :D

[@rban123]

Seriously you are one of my favorite youtubers now, I can't wait to see where this game goes!

dude, found this channel like a day ago, and you're probably one of my favorite game dev channels now

[@solomax2011]

The feeling when I've seen your channel a few days ago, subscribed today and now you uploaded a new video after a few months. What a timing! Anyway, thanks for your videos!

[@jakegarza4548]

I'm excited to see this channel grow. Your videos are great!

[@divine203]

I love your videos man, from someone who's also in the industry, thumbs up, ur games are dope 👍

[@Skeffles]

Great start to your game. I love the dithering lighting effect, I've never seen anything like it.

[@TheLastCodebender]

I had just subscribed to you yesterday! Glad to see you are back!

[@OneEgg42]

yay you uploaded! i missed your videos. Your game is looking awesome and i love that dithering lighting!!

[@vb0t429]

The algorithm gods may have blessed you, but you made good content which spurred that!

[@NateLevin]

Great video! I'd never seen your channel before and this kind of quality from a small channel is really awesome.

[@leopearce649]

I’m very impressed that you actually got something working in JavaScript in a decent amount of time. Web development will be the death of me.

[@atomichodler5413]

Glad you got blessed by the algorithm gods, hopefully one day mine will lol. Love the concept, I like how simple it is and think it will be really cool that you are implementing it as a web game. Hope the best for you!

[@colewrenard5927]

aww these sprites are adorable ! and the coolest concept :O

[@tyreldelaney]

oh this looks great! I'm excited to see where this project goes! That lighting is 👌🏻

[@cucabeludo2310]

Good shit man honestly, just recently started venturing myself into programming (I'm a biology student with no prior knowledge) going with some of the stuff that I found to be easier, Web Dev at the moment, but I'd like to go further into other stuff as well (like Java and whatnot)

[@magzine5541]

Im blazilian and i love your videos man, its so perfect, the youtube need more youtubers like you, dont stop, youre working well

[@weiiswurst]

ever heard of web assembly? you can write anything in any language, compile it to WASM, and it will run in any modern browser! (Fireship also made a great 100sec vid on it if you wanna learn more)

[@NateLevin]

WebAssembly doesn't solve all the problems he has in the video, since WebAssembly can't really "do" anything by itself. To get WebGL rendering out of it, you still have to write a lot of javascript bindings and WebGL code.

[@Radgerayden-ist]

@@NateLevin emscriptem takes care of translating opengl to webgl, besides wrapping many other libraries that are commonly used in C.

[@NateLevin]

@@Radgerayden-ist That is true, I was not thinking about C specifically since this doesn't exist for other languages. Since he wants to use C WebAssembly would be a good idea then.

Hi, I really enjoyed your content, bless the algorithm. Would you consider putting up a list of your ressources / classes and other material that helped you obtain this level of mastery in writing up render/game engine ? Maybe, if you feel like it, a series of tutorial, or some documentation idk, whatever really. In any wase iIm dying of curiosity and I would love learn from someone that I already love to follow the developpement of ! I'm sure I'm not the only one ;) Thanks for making this content ! Hope to see more of you !

Any chance you'll release the source code? I'd love to see exactly how you're implementing the dithering, in code

[@canofsoda]

i would hope so but from my limited knowledge on programming, im gonna guess since this is his first game (or atleast first one he's making a video on) he probably doesnt want people to steal it and what not. though idk he might release it anyway considering how impressive it even is that he can do that.

how u doin

[@michaelzhang2532]

The algorithm god had spoken to me. Watched an ASCII rendering video and I god this video. Keep the videos coming plz.

[@deusexpersona95]

Hey jdh, just found your channel and it's absolutely amazing. I've noticed there are no courses about game engines almost anywhere. Would be great if you made a series about building a game engine in C/C++ without actually focusing on the languages for 80% of the time like other courses do.

[@liefhebber6277]

While it isn't exactly a course, Handmade Hero streams go into programming a game in C (from scratch, so there's even software rendering early on)
