Hello ThinMatrix! I've been watching most of your videos for over a year or two now, but I did watch a few older videos! I love what your doing and hope you continue. So far I love the new game your working on, I might get it when it comes out lol

Your LWJGL tutorials were very useful and your devlogs are very enjoyable. Keep it up 👍

grate video pacing - very watchable

thanks for your 10years . the "light waigth game engien" tutarial whas soo Nice falowed iit to and i lenas som java and (ad tit som that worked my first java i made )it wha just waling around wit a bunny figher amung som dragons, ,, i did webdev normaly. i whass worry when u have the tumer. i was so releved when u say u where ok . You shuld make cooking tutarials too in-devlog or separet vido .. look soo yumy when u make in your weeekly dev.vlogs.

I think u need to take design class. i guess u knows how to put image and texture but your sense of beautiful things is bad.

It's really cool to hear that I was part of the inspiration in your gamedev journey! ^^

both of you guys are amazing and have inspired me a lot

Congrats on the Nintendo Switch release of your game!

@@creativedevrex2514 🥳 Thank you! :)

Not just an inspiration. He made tons of tutorials, he is a teacher!

same here

And he made me to also start making games (as a not full time hobby)

Congrats!

@@ThinMatrix Thanks!

What a story dude. I’m just starting my game dev journey

@@Lewz_R Good luck man!

@@Coyannn its not going too well tho haha. Ive barley done anyhting and its all too confusing

Imagine Socuwan with the graphics from farming simulator, it improved so much!

Much learned since then. and an army of inspired game devs to back you up. keeping an mmo going takes a lot though

My thought when watching that part was, why not make it with the help of others? Like, how people submitted models and stuff. I think it would be really cool to be the first fan-crafted MMO.

@@Dondingo4if he doesn’t do it, I want to. That sounds beyond awesome and I’ve been toying with engines here recently to see if I even enjoy it.

Ah thank you very much for the lovely comment. I appreciate it! :)

Thanks so much :) It makes me very happy to know that my videos played a part in inspiring you to make your own devlogs!

​@@ThinMatrix So, in future will you start doing devoplment on your Socuwan game?

Thank you very much!!

"And I honestly think that without you the whole game dev youtube scene would not be what it is today." Could not have worded it better. I honestly think that without ThinMatrix, the game dev scene as a whole wouldn't exist on youtube.

Thank you for being a part of this, and no small part either! Equilinox and the devlogs wouldn't be the same without your fantastic music.

@@ThinMatrixThat’s really kind of you to say, thank you! You’ve been on such a massive journey and have learned so much. I never realised quite how high the stakes felt for the Socuwan Kickstarter at the time!!

Yoooooo! Great job on the Equilinox music! It’s part of my dev playlist that I listen to at work 😊

@@musicdevThank you so much for listening! That’s really great to hear :)

Thank you, and good luck!!

I would really like to know how it is!

Totally agree! I don’t think I have missed a single video either :)

I definitely remember! You've been around since the very early Socuwan days!

@@snipysnipe For reals.

Same but I'm 14. Game development just clicks with me. I just don't own a PC to make games with... );

@@snipysnipe They're 14. The problem is that you can't find a job at 14. Where will they get the money?

same, i suppose right now im looking for motivation more than anything since im not the best with staying motivated and i just decided i kinda wanna redo what ive already done in a different way, to give myself more control of how it all works. i just hope i dont hit a wall of something that i really dont know how to do but so far i think i have a plan of how itd work

It's awesome that you want to start game development! If you have even a bad laptop you can begin your adventure (although it'll be frustrating) with coding and designing! If you don't have a laptop then you could try making a board game, i know it sounds a bit crazy but you can get help from art teachers at school and use card and the printers there to make a gameboard/characters/cards! Although I know you probably want to make a video game, if you start with a board game you'll find whether your true passion is the design/art of how it looks, or the functions of how your game works and the way different things may interact with eachother. Finally if you do computing/IT at your school then they'll likely have computers that can run python which is a simple programming language (they may even teach it to you the begginings in later years) so you can start learning to code so you have some experience when you eventually come to starting game development when you're older. Basically what I'm saying is speak to computing teachers/art teachers and start trying to make a game, you might find they help you start a club where you can better use the resources available, and have other people join in and help you with it! Good luck, and it can get difficult, just stick at it! @@ChaosDragon3401

Thank you, and good luck with your project!

@@ThinMatrix Thank you!

Why was it awful? 🤨

@@adaa96 It was a shitty private school. I would never recommend these schools to anyone

no one, you'll figure it out and teach to others, as the did for you
