wait how does this only have 140 views this is amazing! here before you hit 100k, sersiously this video is very well done with the voiceover, and making a whole game in one video is insane

KZbin is trying to boost you right now you should continue.

[@PIOPYDUDE]

Wtf I watched this entire video thinking I was watching a 1,000,000+ subbed youtuber 🤣 ! You deserve more subs dude.

[@jaydencdq]

unfortunately no one in this niche has ever been that recognized by the general public, saddening considering how much work they spend on their videos :(

@@jaydencdq Code Bullet has over 2.5 million subs.

[@jaydencdq]

@@MrEcted but he doesn't really go into the code, that is what makes him watchable for most people, hence the sub count

The most impressive thing is this video is how you've typed all those Moai heads in the search bar so fast.

[@jdh]

ctrl+cmd+space brings up the emoji menu on mac, ez 🗿

[@christiansanchez7448]

You need to take advantage of the fact that KZbin’s algorithm is targeting you and start making some of those community posts! I think someone discovered that they’re more likely to pop up for random people, and it could draw a larger following to your channel. You put out fantastic content and deserve way more views!!

[@9rh9]

Also have increased community interaction, so more likes and comments!

[@linxbit8984]

I only today realized hud was heads-up display. I'm a dumbass, thank you sir.

[@Survivalist_Redo]

You better not have meant that >:(

[@jonathanlindsey7976]

By far my favorite KZbinr now. You're gonna catch traction and I can't wait to watch you grow. Can't wait to see more content from you.

[@imharrip]

Absolutely love your content man, ever since I found you by the 48 hour minecraft video just damn. The way you make your videos on making games is just better than every other video I've seen. There's no like memes interrupting the video and just jokes and some simple editing. Love it!

[@victorioussnake]

This is cool, I like your content so far and I especially love how you open source your work allowing others to play with the code.

[@jonathanz9057]

Your videos are insane dude, great production, code, and game! Keep it up, it's a surprise that you haven't blown up yet with how quality your content is.

[@Lachrymogenic]

I wish someone like actually made like a topdown 2d minecraft terraria kind of game in this style, with enchantments and everything.

[@debblez]

Could probably write a minecraft mod that makes the game 2D to save time by not having to add the content

[@farhanakhtar8252]

For the amount of work u do, u deserve way more subs! Keep up the good work!

[@kritischparken]

looking forward to seeing more of these videos, but pleaaase never abandon the minecraft c project, i'd love to further see it grow throughout the months

[@darknexxenby]

i just wanna say, minicraft is a suuper underrated version of the game, it almost lives up to normal minecraft tbh. i wholeheartedly recommend it

[@gipugly]

these video even in the first minute of watching seem pretty high quality. good job

[@Kole-jb8yb]

I really enjoyed the minecraft remake and hope that you will continue with that, but this was also cool.

[@user-tm3pw5uy9m]

I don't know how many of you are aware, but if you are interested in a extended version of Notch's original game, there is Minicraft+. It's worth a try if you want like a more developed version of the original game. Even adds a new boss.

[@DodaGarcia]

I love the little Easter eggs you sprinkle through the videos

i never thought i would ever hear about this game again I absolutely loved the game and it was a great experience Also just saying that you reffering to minecraft as "a simple kids game" is the most untrue thing thats ever been said probably

i think he knows a lot abt minecraft, seeing as he has made it like 293201334 times. it was child's play to him.

[@exploiter2437]

please make more videos, I absolutely love your content!

[@tacticaltentacles2106]

I remember playing this sometime in the distant past and then never could find it again no matter how hard I looked. None of my friends knew what the game was and I honestly thought I had some kinda false memory that formed in my childhood of a game that didn't even exist. It's really nice to know that I wasn't insane and did actually play this back in ~2011-ish

[@eboatwright_]

Man it's been along time since I've heard anyone talk about this game.

Searched minicraft for nostalgia. Didn't expect a recent video about it. The one problem with the video is that it doesn't have enough views.

It's Material Darker from the Material themes extension

I was looking for this for a minute ;-; it's Monokai Pro theme

[@shaddymate4095]

OMG I USED TO PLAY THIS AS A KID

[@nightmaredude7518]

Me too, what was it's name?

[@UltimatePerfection]

For future reference, I really recommend Pro Motion NG for pixelart. You can make a SNES/Genesis-like 16bit graphics very easily with barely any effort. It used to be quite expensive, but now it's just $30 on Steam, which for a program of this functionality is a steal. Oh, and it is heavily inspired by the Deluxe Paint.

[@miwiki6]

i have a feeling that a game called "minicraft" that was basically 2D minecraft already existed and that i have already played it.

On github it says it's under the MIT license. Does that mean we are free to create mods and stuff for it?

[@allhumansarejusthuman.5776]

MIT means open source. So yes. Technically if your not using any service from a program (like social networking or multiplayer) in the usa your free to mod privately held programs no matter what, so long as your doing so to do legal activities and not sharing any intellectual property.
