Roblox also uses lua, Which is impressive considering people make insane games in that

Jonathan Blow is a tool and Soulja Boy was right to laugh at his Mario in a suit game.

Love2d is terribly underrated... :(

Me when I enter a competition for being extremely unlikeable and snobby and Jonathan Blow and Phil Fish enter the room

Speed up the game bro

Oh, this has been great and inspiring! I could watch a whole series of this!

excellent video. keep these coming

Tom do you play Melee?

I had to delete this game because of how much time I wasted on it.

they need to have a HUD telling me which vouchers I've collected this run.

as someone who worked in a company that only builds microservices on the cloud as my first job, this is exactly the type of content i was looking for

I love frameworks, allows me to do the way I want. But it can also be a problem. I always struggle with the organization, OOP, components, design patterns. Game engines provide a fixed way to them, and help me a lot.

Jonathan blow's answer blows

hahahah, I wasn't expecting somebody uses Jonathan Blow clip in a "how to join gamedev" video xD but still, he is right, when people asking "how to do something", rather then google themselves and start doing it

nobody cares

you can write a game in shell script if you'd like, as long as the game design is good then the game is good. the language and tech used to build the game has no correlation with how well the game mechanics are designed. that being said I've never heard of this game until the game awards announcement, pretty bold to claim it'll be goty.

really nice video <3

Use the tool you feel most comfortable with. Notch used Java, the crazy roller coaster tycoon guy used assembly. For the end user there's no difference

LUA is not very practical but it is probably one of the most fun coding langauges I have ever used. If you're a developer please consider trying it =)

this is a very good video, very concise

Everything about this game makes me love game development even more

Super informative video, thank you!!

I had no idea what game was this, but then you showed it and I was like "Wait, isn't this the mini-game from Dave The Diver??" and then I found out they added it as a collab before I bought the game 😅

bro anthers ladder exists lol

Man, Lua is such an underrated language. You know I'm pretty sure mods for Garry's Mod are written in Lua. Unbelievably powerful stuff!

Ugh, Jonathan Blow is such a dick

You know who else loves Lua? John Romero. I'm serious, he thinks writing games in Lua is as fun as writing games in the 80s.

why is a card game nominated? i'm really surprised.

Hello guys my name is Multiplier

will this do for lua what undertale did for game maker?

wait, so one of my favorite game right now was made in one of my favorite languages, which im currently learning? nice

this guy made this video just so he could say “I use vim btw” at 1:39. Don't lie to us! I will subscribe now. Thanks.

Lua is awesome!

Love2d uses SDL which is much better

"backwards-compatible, but not always" 😂😂❤

linux manifesto os providing tools instead of "solutions"

Had to come back to this and say that it's so fucking cool to have a software engineering RUclips channel that's about engineering software and not about quitting your software engineering job while you make avocado toast talking about how "it just feels like time". Tom Delalande 🐐

Lua is by far my favorite language ever since I discovered it in Garry's Mod

Lua getting famous is amazing ❤

Not to be a bitch here, but when you're trying to demonstrate how easy it is to work with LUA or any other programming language by ripping the source code and a shader you didn't make, that kind of defeats the point of the exercise of benchmarking the engine/code difficulty when all the hard shit was just done for you. Also not sure what your intent was when you showed Jonathan blow's advice here since it had nothing to do with your discussion, but changing your game engine doesn't make you any more or less capable to develop a game. i really did not like it when i heard you say "if you want to skip all the tutorials, engines, dependencies and headaches" becasue 1: you didn't showcase how different the engine is from the others outside of just saying the engine is fast, which for a non-demanding 2d game is a really low standard. 2: you didn't show how different Lua is to other programming languages which might be a little important if a programmer is coming straight out of C++/C#. 3: Lua can have dependencies, and you literally used an online shader and the Love2d API as a dependency. luarocks.org/ 4: as it turns out, every game engine is going to require some level of practice to get good at working with. Unity, UE and Godot are not some herculeian task to get good at like you think it is, it's no harder to learn how to work with than Adobe Premiere, and if those were that hard to use then people would have stopped using it to make games years ago.

oh shit the elden ring dlc was written with lua?

Thanks for sharing, Love2D looks like a great beginner framework to get started with.

Never heard of this game, crazy😢

LUA is a Brazillian language

Lua's a neat language, but I'd really love to fix some of its flaws. For starters, I'd make arrays use a 0-based index, but then I'd change the comment character because var-- is far superior to var = var - 1; I'd add all the compound assignment operators. For that matter, I'd make operator overloading easier, at least for user defined types.

0:10 ngl I get it that this can be easily seen as the guy being "mad" and spewing a hot take just to be a contrarian (as he usually is), but it does make a lot of sense when taking into account how much the ability to research and figuring out things on your own (especially due to missing/vague docs and similar) comes into play at game dev... that is especially evident when browsing communities like reddit's whereas a lot of enthusiasts just keep making threads about the most frivolous questions nonstop and more often than not go absolutely nowhere with the answers they get. not even about "elitism" or whatever, but rather just being realistic. "mean spirited" answers, rude comments, and blunt criticism don't amount to 1/1000th of the actual pain and frustration you'll go through when trying to start a game dev career from scratch - so it kinda shows when one is already that discouraged by them.

I've always admired Jonathan Blow's ability to say something that's generally true, or even wise, in the most abrasive way possible such that you end up missing his point

LUA SUPREMACY

Go and build it, start somewhere. Said it all

At 4:16 you talk about drawing to a canvas first rather than drawing straight to the screen - why do you do this? What is the benefit?
