SUBSCRIBE if you love little cat paws...oh and Lua! 🐈♥

[@CableOnYoutube]

hello

[@gleboid]

I named my cat Lua lol

[@maichu6584]

The fact you can balance a real life job, family, youtube channel, and making all these side games is very inspiring! Keep up the good work goodgis!

[@Goodgis]

Thanks so much! It's a challenge but I love doing it. :D

[@yomurah]

@@Goodgismy hats go off to you, truly inspirational.

[@Neodx2]

and still ask parents permission :)

[@darltrash]

Löve and Lua are absolutely my favourite way to make games! Thanks for covering Löve because it truly is a wonderful framework with a wonderful community of nerds! :) I personally use it for 3D stuff too as it easily can be used as a smart wrapper for OpenGL

[@CoolGuyWhoLives]

Interesting, Lua is also used in ti nspire calculotors, think you can port it?

[@darltrash]

@@CoolGuyWhoLives no lol

[@gleboid]

I named my cat Lua, my first reaction was "Oh cool, I love this coding language", my second reaction was "why are there cat paws??? how does this guy know about my cat" and my last reaction was "oohhhhhh hes making a game in lua about cats, I'm so stupid lol"

[@Goodgis]

hehehe

[@leomarques5218]

The funny thing is that you named your cat's "moon" in Portuguese

[@gleboid]

@@leomarques5218 yes i've heard about that, lua was named (the proggraming launguage) is actually named after that

I named my cat C++

His art is so clean mr. clean approves

[@Goodgis]

;) 🧼

[@michaelklassen2296]

I love that you're still challenging yourself to make all these games in other languages/engines on top of Dewdrop and real life. I bet it must take quite a bit of time to make these, but wouldn't be surprised if the novelty helps prevent burnout, etc. I'm always excited to see what project you're working on when a new Goodgis video pops up! :)

[@P.Manoel]

What a missed opportunity, you could have made it a yarn ball!

[@VrindaVaman]

Even i thought the same

[@mikeconnie2270]

Always glad when there's a new Goodgis video!!!🐱

[@Challacade]

I'm a HUGE fan of Lua!!

[@Goodgis]

Really? I had no idea. ;)

[@Cupgray53]

My two favorite youtubers in one video

[@Redleather0999]

😮 these guys inspired me to keep making games when I would get burned out or discouraged

[@therandomsomeone.]

[@SmileReal]

if anyone's wondering what the song is at 0:50 the song is the mii maker song from the wii u

[@not_dashhh]

lua's most unreadable line of code if 1 == 1 then print("math still exists") else print("me confused") end

[@not_dashhh]

@TommyDoesVR yeah except it prints in the console instead

[@Designed1]

can't write it in intellij without the program ruining the fun by saying "um actually 1 == 1 always returns true 🤓"

[@stevenunderwood9935]

This is really well polished. Have you ever looked into the Pico-8? They don't have vector art, but I'd love to see what you'd make!

[@noise_dev]

I love your art man. So clean!

[@Voidead_]

Make a game in binary

[@rawk_d-_-b]

Yes

[@xpsnapGD]

send IT

[@shardofglass]

So uh Every game is made in binary Hate to break it to you

[@Voidead_]

@@shardofglass yes but he makes the game IN binary not it gets compiled/interpreted down to binary. He writes the binary script

[@voidsetd]

​@@Voidead_ he doesn't writes in binary, lol. he writes it on lua. if you want a game executable, you need to merge lua script with love2d runner.

[@MyFriend_Oliver]

Somehow you can always make the cutest things. This was really nice

[@Goodgis]

That is the greatest compliment you can give. :D

[@ryoto_250]

I had been watching goodgis for a couple years now and I had recently gotten the courage to start game development using Lua and love 2d and A month later, this video came out. 😊

[@mitsuakit9674]

knowing that this language was created in brazil makes me happy to see it in use

[@yourkki3897]

This has a great potential, making multiplayer versus or maybe 2v2 would be a great addition, you can also do power ups, like speeding the ball up for a few seconds, or slowing it down

[@Pillowzasleep]

What art software do you use. This art is SO IMPRESSIVE!

[@CartofSiGigelOfficial]

I think its GIMP but im not sure

[@user-fk5di4me9c]

i find it so funny that you uploaded the video talking about Lua and making a game using it is around the time that Balatro, the game that won best indie game and got nominated for game of the year is also made by Lua using the framework love2D. and what makes it even funnier to me is the fact that the game released only a single day before your video LMFAO

[@XxOliveplayzXx]

This is honestly really really, Really ReAlLy cool!

[@capyslaymc]

3:12 jump into PAWlishing the game

[@Goodgis]

LOL

[@Milu27209]

How do you get the game? ​@@Goodgis

[@IIluminatiLol]

As a lua dev, I LOVE lua and luau. I think that the amount of of software and love2d limitations are stupid. What I mean is how limited access lua is. I don't even know if you can open multiple windows with it. I am learning python but Lua will always be in my heart. I started game dev on roblox, using luau. Ever since I have been making scripts, but now I think it's time to move on and make python games from now on. Thanks for giving lua the love it deserves!

[@BigBouncyBanana]

yoooo new goodgis vid!! btw isnt lua a language that a ton of people find difficult or hate for some reason? idk its just something ive heard a lot

[@stray1239]

I've heard its super easy to learn, I think it might have a reputation as a more "beginner" language, not completely sure though.

[@Goodgis]

Idk why, it's super easy.

[@BigBouncyBanana]

@@Goodgis huh.. interesting :P

[@deluxe_1337]

Programmers hate Lua because it's 1 indexed 💀😂

[@cgl4de]

@@deluxe_1337 nah fr tho

[@MirceaKitsune]

Surprised Minetest wasn't mentioned here: It's how I learned Lua by making mods for it. Great scripting language I still happily recommend! Python and JavaScript work too but Lua remains a great one to work with.

[@immortalsun]

3:00 You *_paws’d_* the movement?

[@javierdurini]

This is a very cool Idea for a game, unlock different cats with different abilities, ball modifiers maybe a rat? Good stuff man nice video

[@noxfortes]

Your art style looks very "pawlished" 😄 loved the vid ❤️

[@saemdudde]

I am a long time love dev and love ur channel. epic crossover episode 🤩

[@poluefemus]

you should’ve kept the option to paws your game

[@Cacowninja]

Can you put the link for the love2d as well as the compiler you used in the description?

[@KachiYES]

As a Lua enjoyer myself, the language really could have done with 0-indexing tables

[@gmdrandom6287]

1 indexing is better (obviously)

[@KachiYES]

@@gmdrandom6287 0 indexing has a lot to do with how pointers and arrays in C work so 1 indexing isn't better or worse in any ways, i have seen many people who use 1 indexing in their C++ code for competitive programming contests

[@Populous3Tutorials]

no one starts counting at 0 indexing 1 is the best, people just used to the wrong way

[@CCeena]

Lua is a great programming language and extremely underrated especially cuz ppl only know it as the roblox programming language sadly. Great job tho👍

[@DevlogBill]

Hi Goodgis, if you are a hobbyist type of programmer who mostly programmed only in JavaScript and Python. But since you don't have a lot of time because of your other passions. But you want something which will allow you to program and make games fast. Simple 2D games like your cat game here nothing special just fun stuff. Is Love a great choice for making quick and fun games or would you have a different recommendation? Thank You for the video.

[@Curiousectoplasm]

Today, I was thinking it would be cool to learn Lua and Love2D. I see your upload as a sign of fate 🤓

[@TomatoPapyrusGuy]

Lua was actually made in Brazil for a gas station brand called Petrobras

[@Falafel_yt]

as a roblox developer (for short, lua developer), just the fact that you appreciate lua (there are barely any game devs that are not roblox game devs that appreciate lua) is already great but lua is way more powerful then YOU think, so moral of the comment: make more videos of lua please i beg.

[@victorraphaelmanampan8397]

We need MORE devs like Goodgis.

[@sleepinbed]

What's the background music that starts at like 1:00?????

[@LemonAvocado]

Love the game! What software do you use to make your artwork?

what was the application he used to alter the pitch of the ball sound?

[@Colacoca187]

this video and game probably had more effort put into them than most mobile games

[@nerdy_dev]

Love2D is a great framework for lua! Lua is a purrfect programming language for beginners, imo.

[@WispOfSoul]

good job, I'm certain you've given at least one person some inspiration

learned roadblock's LUAU the summer over a year ago but did'nt get good before may this year, but now i dont really us roblox studio, but then like a lot of months ago i saw love, then blinked a second and nothing. i just tried it and its so easy while bieng powerfull!!!
