Sound Effects and Background Music in Love2D

[@AlanPope]

Thanks for making the video in a decently sized font so it's completely readable on a mobile phone. 😍

[@Challacade]

Yes! That's my biggest complaint with coding videos, when they don't make the text big enough!

[@stoobidthing]

Helps so much on low-res monitors too, I can finally watch it on the shitty work computers!

[@markbacon78]

Speedran the tutorial to get my head around the basics; super easy to follow and light enough that I didn't feel like I had to skip a bunch of stuff as an experienced software dev. Truly well-focused course. Cheers!

[@taunhawk9888]

Added this to the top down game you had us build and wow, music and sound really adds so much to the game! Love it! I mean it would seem obvious, but during the build process I wasn't expecting such a noticeable impact so early in the game development of this little top down game.

Thank you! Your serie is almost a year old now but I hope you will add some more content with time, that was really well made and educative!

[@SamSkull]

I loved the whole playlist it was very simple and easy to understand please continue these series

[@Furiac.]

just made it through the whole playlist, thank you!! there arent many tutorials for love2d so time to hop into the documentation

[@Archmage-uq5tn]

are you gonna make more tutorials like adding items and monsters? i know you are working on your zelda like game but when you get done with that i would love to see more tutorials on how to implement more things

[@7projected]

Thanks for making this whole series thingy, i just watched the whole playlist, and its already better (performance and readability imo) than the "engine" i was using before, called pygame lol.

[@Manny73211]

watched the whole playlist. thank you.

[@dan_studio13]

Really great tutorials man, you made me starting programming a prototype for a future game! Thank you!

[@skullzurker]

When is the next one? Great series hope you keep at it when your done with Legend of Lua.

[@pokeman5796]

Thanks again for an amazing video. HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL!

[@AutMouseLabs]

This has been a great series. Thank you for doing it.

[@niebl]

Extremely good video. Keep it up, Much love.

[@exotictoast9931]

help, when my music finishes and it loops, it pauses for like 1 second before looping, how do i fix this?

[@j2j_official]

Great tutorial :)

[@xnyroah_]

i might be a little late but i would love a tutorial that shows how to make smart monsters

[@MrInfarct]

It would be nice if you made a video dedicated to particles

[@UnderArea51]

Also - The bird's eyes are begging to have random blinks, squints when attacking bad guys, and blinking while talking to other birds when text box.

[@Challacade]

I completely agree! This is a great suggestion

[@neito7103]

I need to get GME for my project but I don't know how to implement it into Love2D

[@Manny73211]

im gonna make a mobile game where you spam click to launch a rocket and dodge obstacles. are there any other resources you think would help? (im doing it as a challenge to see if unity 2d or love2d are better for mobile games.)

[@lewis6462]

hey man I'm i'm trying to add a main menu and i'm wondering how to do that if you could make a tutorial on it i'd really appreciate it

[@stevenhenning9833]

Thanks for the great tutorials. I added some coins for my kid to collect. At the end of the game I want to zoom out and display the whole map. I cant find anyway of doing this ... can you help?

[@codexed-i]

Do cam:zoom(0.1)

[@experimentsgurru5983]

sir please make new Bullet Firings video

[@zerxer7987]

hey could you make a tutorial on swords and enemies

[@benwoodyer8258]

agreed this would be ideal!!!!

[@madeinmicrosoftpaint]

[@naelpontes8444]

[@hussein0762]
