eevee expo?
Looks like we’re getting a fresh new tutorial series. Might have to get back into working on a Pokémon project again!
Thought the same it's a sign
@@semidz562 x3 xd
@@semidz562 it’s the fact that I was just looking for a tutorial. It really is a sign
Same lol I guess it's about time I finally finish one
A true sign is when you aren't looking & it appears with every answer you had never looked for but was presented to you automatically without asking or seeking, as a ponder in the very back of your mind, that's a *"TRUE SIGN"* truly.
Different perspectives....
Everyone who has dreamed about make a pokemon game, dont let this channel die ever. Thundaga was the for one of my best friends and I, we wanted to make a game for a group of friends, without Thundaga we never been able to complete de game or something. Much love for Thundaga, keep making this kind of videos, u help a lot
Yeah.
The first tutorial series taught me so much, I'm excited to see it's getting an updated version! I made sure to give this a full watch for the algorithm and ended up learning a short cut I'd forgotten in the process lol. Thanks for all the hard work you do, Thundaga!
Your original tutorial series is what helped me begin my first fan game. As I’m still working on it, I’m glad to see a revamp of the tutorials are in the works! Great stuff as always!
I started making Pokemon fan games just a few months ago and your tutorials were an incredible help. I was wondering if you would update some of the old videos to reflect the changes in the new versions of Essentials, but you already did so much that I thought you'd stop here. It's a wonderful surprise to see you start a new series of tutorials, I'll be watching all of them religiously ! Thanks for all your efforts (and sorry for the probably bad english) !
So glad Thundaga is rebooting the series in v20. There's been so many changes that unfortunately a lot of the material in the old tutorials no longer apply! Your tutorial series in v17.2 helped me make my first game by myself (Pokemon Soulstones), Thundaga!
If it weren't for your videos, I would have never gone down the path of making a Pokemon fangame that has over 35000 downloads and 3000 discord members. Hopefully you rebooting the series will help me learn something as I work on the sequel in v20.1 and many other budding developers!
What is your game called? :)
@@juliajohansson2665 pokemon soulstones
What sort of stuff does no longer apply? Are certain processes easier to do?
BRO I LOVE POKEMON SOULSTONES
BRO U MADE SOULSTONES? I LOVE THAT
I remember trying to follow the old tutorial back in lockdown. Didn't know what the hell I was doing and my laptop actually broke partway through. Randomly got the urge to try again and stumbling onto this new series made me super happy. You're amazing and I hope the rest of this guide is too.
Oh hey a new tutorial series! I've been out of the loop for a while and I may no longer be interested in learning how to make my own fangame, but it's always nice to see a series like this get a reboot especially if there's new versions or new things going on. Keep on truckin'!
I know it's a year later, but thank you for all of the hard work you put into these tutorials
IT’S BAAAACCKKKK!!
As someone who has been recently invigorated to take a hack at making a fakemon reigon myself these videos are going to be a lifesaver! I love creators like you who put their time and effort into making other people's lives a lot nicer. Instant sub!
The legend has returned, I have been putting off work on my game just so I can hear it from you, you make the whole process so simple
Honestly a needed remake to getting started. I started making games from your tutorials 3 yrs back and I bet this vid will help new comers really well!
Currently working on a Pokemon open world that represents where the Pokemon would probably be found in real life. Takes place on Earth, with representation of real cities, towns, etc... All gens up to 9. Kind of just starting it, and I am using this tutorial for guidance to get started. Thank you so much for updating the playlist for v20 :)
Hey, wondering how you're getting on with this! Sounds like a fantastic idea :)
@@ave789 Pretty well. It is coming along nicely. Have the map and the Pokemon entries / sprites. Using boxes for placements of stuff. Incredibly complex, but kinda working on one town and playing as I go. Probably will show it off when it is "playable" on RUclips.
@@roseremakes5305 is there any other social media you are updating this project on? (:
@@NotCarnaage Not as of right now. I want to get a somewhat decent of a playable game going first before I throw it onto RUclips. Why, are there any additional platforms that I can look into?
@@roseremakes5305 any updates?
I was inspired to make my own game by your original series, I just started last week and discovered your new updated series this week. So awesome
Just want to give a premature thank you! I'm planning on starting to make a Pokemon fan game once my classes end for this semester and I'm sure this tutorial series and the older one you made will help me a lot.
So happy to see the tutorial series rebooted 😀
One thing I wish was in the previous series is a visible mouse showing mouse clicks on the screen. I found myself having to rewatch a lot of episodes (especially later on in the series) to remind myself how simple things are done 😅
Look forward to joining you on stream some day with a completed project! Thanks for all your work ❤
I had been debating getting back into this after having followed your guide from years ago, but a few things have changed.
Guess this is a sign to jump back in! Thanks for all the cool stuff you make!
hell yeah Thundaga! I'm two years into my fan game and it's looking excellent. I appreciate the update!
Thank you for making a updated series. I've looking forward to this for such a long time. Thank you.
love love love it. I could never get through the OG series but I think this is the boost I need to finally finish my game😭excited to see an update!!
This is the best tutorial I've ever watched, and I've watched many in my life. You manage to be both extremely clear and somehow entertaining. Would literally watch these for fun while on the treadmill or something lol
ahhh a nice fresh reboot on the series! I remember finding your channel 4 years ago and I gotta say you really inspired me a lot! Can't wait to see more!
Thank goodness, I’ve always hoped you’d one day start over with this series. So much has changed and I’m very rusty, this is a great opportunity for me to relearn all of this.
Started making a Pokemon game half a year ago thanks to your video's, i am still creating the same game, i am happy to see you make a new tutorial series since some things are outdated. can't wait to look at your content :)
im actively working on a pokemon fan game and ive watch most of if not all the videos from Thundaga and they have helped me so much!
Finally a new tutorial series! The series just stopped in episode 80 or so, so it's nice that its coming back after so long.
i can't even imagine the world where every programming tutorial looks like this. at first i thought the video will be about designing the rpg system or another theoretical stuff but i still watched it. probably enjoyed it even more
This and your old playlist are easily the most useful and complete video tutorial series for making fan games. Thank you so much!
It's here! Thank you so much Thundaga!
Oh my! I was literally watching one of your tutorial video’s yesterday and hoping you will upload new tutorials. I’ve been watching some of your streams and let’s plays of the jam games. Good to see you back at the essentials tutorials again! Can’t wait to learn more!
Well this is exciting! I started at the beginning of August, having never even used RMXP before. Just released the first episode of my fangame yesterday to my friends and they LOVE it! Thank you for all you do, man
Yes! So looking forward to this updated series!
Thanks for making this tutorial! I'm just starting to make my first fangame, so this new series came out at the perfect time for me. I'll be watching all of these!
I've waited so long for a new reboot of this tutorial series!
There were so many updates to essentials & and I didn't rly want to begin developing a game (as a complete beginner) without a recently update tutorial series
Thank you so much!
I'm making my own Pokemon game now so far my main issue trying to fix this synatx error with the title screen.
Thank you for doing this new series! It's just the motivation I need to start on a game!
Let's go! Thanks for the new tutorials, I miss your old ones
As someone who wants to do his own thing with this. I can't wait for the rest of this tutorial. And this is a good start.
Just got into the RPG Maker world and your tutorials are really great! Keep up the awesome work!!!
Awesome! Pokemon Essentials has changed so much the old tutorials couldn't keep up. I'm glad there are new ones!
The basics that i've gotten down but very helpful to know for beginners and so nice to know that the tutorials are coming back
The quality jump from your first tutorial to this series is insane!
Awe yay! I’m so glad your remaking this!! I loved you old videos and they have helped me out so much and now I’m going to start working on my old project now!
Alright! I was looking forward to this reboot! Thanks a ton Thundaga!
You dropped this:👑
This was a childhood dream of mine, thanks for sharing!
Holy moly, you've got a very clear presentation style. Just found your channel today and you absolutely deserve more subscribers!
love to see a new tutorial series featuring all the new stuff in v20.1! id hope quite a bit is refreshed and new while also staying true to previous versions
Welcome to the reboot. This series helped countless developers get the hang of Essentials, let’s hope it does the same.
Super excited to follow this updated series
I very very very rarely leave comments on youtube, but I have to say, you are an absolute legend. Ive always wanted to make my own pokemon game, im so excited, thank you for all your dedication and hard work. There are thousands of people who appreciate everything youre doing, keep it up
I remember watching the old series and I am feeling quite nostalgic right now.
This doesnt seem nearly as overwhelming as i thought. Your calm demenor helps when i get anxious about how hard making a game could be
Comparing this tutorial to your old tutorial is night and day and really shows how much experience you’ve gained over these last 6 years! Though I’ll miss the “Oooo Crash Bandicoot” line from the first tutorial just a little
thank you so much for making these tutorials! i've found them incredibly helpful and working on my own game has been a blast!
So funny to see this in my suggested, in the middle of starting my first fan game via the first tutorial series so you just earned a sub from me my friend. Thank you so much!
Wow, big props to you for taking your time and doing such an amazing tutorial AGAIN :D
You are the man!
I've been waiting for this since the last update! Super hyped.
I love your videos thundaga. Thanks for bringing this back
love the reboot tutorial series! excited to follow along and reup knowledge on the basics :D
Please please please continue this series, I watched every video you posted on the last series and I'm dying to make a gave in v20! Can't wait to see what else is in store for this reboot! :)
Thanks! Wait for next episode!
The reboot we've all been waiting for! I hope we get into making custom weather this time... since the weather episode implied we'd do custom ones later, but it never happened.
I've been playing Pokemon Reborn and discovered how good such pokemon fangames can be.
Just for fun I'll try my hand at making one myself. You've got yourself a subscriber! This looks great
rpg maker tutorials are back ?! YAYYYYY i was waiting for that
Literally bless you for this series...
I have been waiting for this!
This came completely out of nowhere! I have been obsessed with the original tutorial series for about a month now to make a pokemon game for fun and have been following advice of the old series despite some issues regarding the current 2.1 version and the tutorials being older versions! I am so so grateful that you decide to continue from the beginning! Thundaga, you are such an inspiration to me and I am so goad you’ve returned to teach us all
niiiice a fresh series. spent an hour trying to transfer my stuff from a few years ago to my new PC but the PC it was on was so slow I gave up. I also though that a lot of things would have been updated so I may as well start from scratch (didn't have much anyway) and I go to your channel to see a new series. love it.
How did I not see u made this😂. Ur tutorials have always been outstanding, hopefully this will generate new passion to work on my own essentials project
King! Thanks for revisiting your old tutorials!
Wow this guy making the pokmeon series again i remember he made one like 6 years ago it was soo good and well explained
Having a creative itch to try the pokemon mods again so this will be real helpful considering I last used them somewhat 10 years ago. Thanks for the high quality and detailed tutorial(s)!
GAMERS!!!!! so hyped for the new tutorials.
This might be a weird compliment but you have a great tutorial voice, and this is a great tutorial to boot
Rpg maker and essentials can feel overwhelming and having someone patiently explain things in depth and not sounding condescending when saying obvious stuff like "you can Ctrl Z to undo" while also not making it boring makes it really easy to digest information
I was waiting for this to be released!!
Thank goodness, I finally found an easy to understand, _recent_ tutorial! I'm excited to learn~
Really nice video! Nice and really detailed explanations of everything! Going to follow this series and hopefully are able to make my own game.
OMG, I'm in heaven now! I am so hyped for this!
Let's goooooo it's back!
I literally just started learning yesterday using your older tutorials. I can’t say this enough But thank you for updating lol
the nostalgia rolls over me
The video series we've all been waiting for the return of!
please continue this you help alot of aspiring pokemon creators
cant wait until part 2!
Watching this really made coding my rom hack much simpler. Thanks😃
Extremely well detailed and explained. Defenetly deserved a Like and a Sub. Thank you so much and I hope to see even more of this!
Great to see this return!
Really amazing thank you so much for all the efforts you put into this !!
omg i love it a fresh new tutorial series
MY BOOOOOYYY IVE BEEN WAITING!!! 🎉❤
Just starting!
You are so underated man!
Love the Channel, ive been thinking of starting game making, and This is a very simple Way to make some cool Pokemon projects!
Do i have any real interest in making a Pokemon game for myself? No. Will I watch all of this? Absolutely. I love how clear you are about this content, even down to the simplest stuff of opening a zip file without sounding patronizing
I love how this is tutorial 1 and I still learned a lot of stuff XD
Just found that because I had the thought like “hey, would be nice to have my own Pokémon game” and daaaaaaamn, there’s the GUIDE ! 🎉
I was making my own game watching your 6 yr old series... And now I'm here! 7 videos vs 84 is a lot less intimidating.
Thanks for the tutorial and games, love this pokemon fan games, came here after playing bushido, what a great game, good job
Luckily its free today.
Rpg maker xp that is.
