"I enjoy the creative process behind writing the code, and failing at writing the code, and rewriting it", it shows through every content you post and I think it's what resonates in each of your viewers! Congratulations on becoming a father, you're not going anywhere, neither are we :D

Heh, cheers Luca, means a lot!

Indeed, that! 🤣 Writing, failing, rewriting, (sometimes failing in rewriting) (Though sometimes it wouldn’t be bad if the first attempt kinda works, you know?)

That's so very kind of you Chris, and its comments like that that make it all worthwhile.

Many congratulations on the family expansion!! I definitely 100% understand the decision to dial things back a little. Your content is pure quality and juggling a full-time job, family life and other hobbies/activities with video-making is an impressive feat for any creature that also needs sleep. I'll look forward to any videos you put out, whenever they may come. Also, as a somewhat new subscriber I'm happy to finally find out the canonical way to pronounce the channel name. :) Best regards from Belgium, Wouter

[@kayra8942]

ayy, congratulations and good luck! and please, don't worry about the release schedule it's definitely not more important than your well being

[@javidx9]

Thanks Kayra!

[@perregrinne2500]

I'm happy to hear the news! And nobody should expect you to force yourself to make more content, otherwise it just becomes harder, more stressful, not fun, and of course leads to burnout (which would mean fewer videos anyways). I hope you'll spend more time with family and making sure that the stuff you do on the side stays fun and stress-free! We still look forward to learning more from you in the days to come!

[@_syedmx86]

Congratulations. And don't worry, we don't mind how long it takes for a new video because it's top quality whenever it is released. I actually would recommend taking even more personal time.

[@benoitb.3679]

Congratulations! Thank you for the journey so far, and I look forward to the future. You've built something amazing here and your knowledge and expertise has educated me beyond belief. Your videos are so well produced that I've been spoiled. My main language of use is C# and when I went looking for videos in that topic I was thoroughly underwhelmed by their rambling, directionless quality. I never though I'd be able to make a game (although when I was little, I wanted to be a game programmer), but your videos have not only shown me it's entirely possible, but that it is actually tremendous fun. I remember sitting in the garden of Sinclair's Oyster Bar in Manchester, and a video of yours was recommended to me by THE ALGORITHM. I was instantly enamoured and the years hence have been such a fun and rewarding journey. I'm really looking forward to the future and I hope you are too. Best wishes, good luck, and thank you.

Disappointing? I am happy you are comfortable enough with making videos and with the community that you can set and communicate your boundaries. We are extremely grateful for what you do and wish for you to put yourself before anything. Wonderful news on you guys getting your first child. Congratulations! And if anything makes it that you can produce even less content than you state now, then allow yourself that room also. Again, many thanks!

[@javidx9]

Thats really encouraging Darkfafi, thank you! Its such a great community, and I am proud to be a member of it!

[@eloquentlyemma]

Hi, just to let you know that we’re not going anywhere either :-) Your explanations and techniques are so clear that I am able to convert the code from C++ into Java (my language of choice since university) without too much trouble and I always learn something new from every video I watch - even if I’ve already implemented a version of the code, as I did with the lighting and shadows. Thank you. Also, good luck with starting a family - it’s hard work, but so very rewarding.

[@mumblbeebee6546]

I totally believe you that you do this because it is fun and relaxing - that shows in the quality and the ease that comes across in your videos. Nevertheless, it is still very generous of you to put so much into the videos, and to share so much for free! As a rarely-coder and mostly intrigued person, I am not your target audience perhaps, but I am certainly not going to begrudge you a slower release schedule, especially not for such an exciting, wonderful and probably exhausting reason :)

[@javidx9]

Thats really kind of you mumblbee! Thanks!

[@dertobusch5720]

your work hast always inspired me to sit down and write a bit of code. I used to study computer science in the 1990s until I ran out of money, but I still love coding as a a hobbyist. I believe that creating content on social media platforms should bei just as enjoyable for you as watching it is for us. I would feel bad demanding more from you than you are thankfully already ready and able to give. That would be downright rude. I like to think that I am not that kind of person. So please don "t push it. Take your time and do things at your own pace. As someone who has been a professional teacher myself I appreciate the effort that goes into making your videos. My best wishes for you and your family. Stay safe and healthy. Greetings from Germany.

I love this channel. You have an awesome natural teaching style/cadence that I have picked up on. I was actually thinking about sitting down today to follow along and undertake that c++ async networking tutorial series. I had listened to it in the car all the way through and now I want to implement it. I get through your stuff slowly so I am in no rush to see more stuff from you, but I am super relieved to hear that you still intend on keeping it going. Your stuff is awesome man!

[@Soulskinner]

Hahaha. I was expecting to hear something like: "Now I will move from C++ to interpreted languages like Python, Lua and others" (or something like this). Maybe with explanation like: "C++ is not that popular so videos doesn't get enough views". Considering that there are many more videos and tutorials about interpreted languages, and not that many about C++, this channel actually looks really awesome and unique. So, how funny it wouldn't sound, but I was glad to hear these news. Even funnier, this video left me quite hypes. Because I really would like to see video about rendering voxels. Especially, if it would be about some fast voxel rendering algorithm. And about these news. Congratulations and good luck with these (and not only these) events! And take your time, as many people have mentioned, family and your well being comes first and much more important thing than KZbin videos schedule.
