Wow just found you and here's the new video

These tutorials are really great! I binge watched/coded through the first 35 over the last few days. Last fall I made an engine using lwjgl that started with the ThinMatrix tutorials and I broke off at some point and made my 2D engine with it....I really like using it but recently was thinking I may need to go for a complete overhaul as my conversion to 2D left some things to be desired and I wanted a level editor, etc...I stumbled onto your channel at exactly the right time and so happy to see you are still making these. I think you started from the ground up with all the right engine features (editor, game object/component model, batching, etc) rather than adding them as an afterthought like I always try to do. I will look forward to (hopefully) some help with how we decouple the editor and build the game for distribution.

Hey Jon, I'm glad that the tutorials are helping you out! It sounds like you're on a similar journey to what I was on too, so I have a feeling you'll be able to take these concepts much further than I do in this series. If you want some more in depth info about AAA game engines, you should check out Game Engine Architecture by Jason Gregory (you can probably find a free PDF). It's really good at filling in the gaps on those low-level engine details :)

@@GamesWithGabe Thanks Gabe, I'll check out that book.

Awesome!

[@fudgeracoon2529]

Hey gabe, I was wondering if there are any plans to integrate a scripting language for the game engine with a scripting window UI. Maybe something like lua?

[@GamesWithGabe]

Hey @FudgeRacoon, I'm not sure if there's any easy way to do this using Java since most languages are written in C. I don't plan on covering that for this tutorial series, but I may have standalone series in the future that go over this using C++

Gabe i have an important question , how i build a jar that runs without errors using gradle ? I am a big fan of your work and your videos are very helpful, i hope you can answer me.

[@GamesWithGabe]

Hey Abraham, thanks for the comment! I'm not sure how to do that. I never really learned Gradle and if I ever build JARs I usually use IntelliJ's built-in feature to do that :)

[@renatocesar9972]

I'm doing a coding framework too, and wish i could build a map editor inside of it

[@GamesWithGabe]

If you have access to ImGui it should help a lot when you set up an editor :)
