IMPORTANT! CHANNEL UPDATE

[@erikawwad7653]

10-15 hours a week -> better content than every other channel

[@javidx9]

Thats very kind Erik, thanks!

[@SilentEmilie]

tbh I'm amazed that he spends that much time on this channel considering that it's not a full time job. I barely spend couple of hours a week on my personal projects.

[@bendywills859]

It's so true! I always find KZbinrs saying that they spend 48 hours plus on videos per week, and they still have trash content. Are they even trying?

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!

I always see the vimto in the background, reminds me with when I was a kid

[@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!

[@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!

[@Sloimay]

I wasn't subscribed to your channel but would most of the time click on your videos if they poped up in my recommended. And it's funny how it's _this_ video that made me subscribe to your channel, because when I saw the title of it, I was surprised and afraid you would quit KZbin, thus making me realise how much I actually liked your channel! Congrats on the baby and I wish you the best for the future :)

[@nathanpremo]

Congrats. Just do your best. It is better to release good content over a longer time then releasing trash content over a short time. You don't need to KZbin money so just focus on making great stuff and loving your family.

[@javidx9]

Thanks Nathan, yeah, thats exactly how I see it!

[@DaTux91]

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

[@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.
