Creating video games can be quite challenging, but with cool frameworks like Love2D, Roblox Studio, and Pico-8 using Lua is really easy. Lua is fantastic for beginners due to its user-friendly, powerful embeddable scripting language, and extensive community support that makes it accessible for those learning to program. And honestly, it's perfect for people who are asking the question "How to learn how to program?" or "How to make video games".

SUBSCRIBE if you love little cat paws...oh and Lua! 🐈♥
hello
I named my cat Lua lol
i'm subscribed
Can I subscribe second time for Lua?
ROBLOX!!!!!
bro why is all of this dude's art so clean 😭
That's the power of soap! haha
@@Goodgisi thought cats used shampoo
He is a graphic designer
dont drop it tho
Vectors Morty, VECTORS!
The fact you can balance a real life job, family, youtube channel, and making all these side games is very inspiring! Keep up the good work goodgis!
Thanks so much! It's a challenge but I love doing it. :D
@@Goodgismy hats go off to you, truly inspirational.
and still ask parents permission :)
I named my cat Lua, my first reaction was "Oh cool, I love this coding language", my second reaction was "why are there cat paws??? how does this guy know about my cat" and my last reaction was "oohhhhhh hes making a game in lua about cats, I'm so stupid lol"
hehehe
my cat is also named lua 😭 i named her after the coding language
The funny thing is that you named your cat's "moon" in Portuguese
@@leomarques5218 yes i've heard about that, lua was named (the proggraming launguage) is actually named after that
@@leomarques5218 i already knew it, idk about him tho. but I just thought it's a cool word
You should add a “Paws” menu 😂
The Council approves.
i love this pun
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Omg thats acc a good idea i wihs he can see this
Löve and Lua are absolutely my favourite way to make games! Thanks for covering Löve because it truly is a wonderful framework with a wonderful community of nerds! :) I personally use it for 3D stuff too as it easily can be used as a smart wrapper for OpenGL
Interesting, Lua is also used in ti nspire calculotors, think you can port it?
@@CoolGuyWhoLives no lol
His art is so clean mr. clean approves
;) 🧼
What a missed opportunity, you could have made it a yarn ball!
I love that you're still challenging yourself to make all these games in other languages/engines on top of Dewdrop and real life. I bet it must take quite a bit of time to make these, but wouldn't be surprised if the novelty helps prevent burnout, etc. I'm always excited to see what project you're working on when a new Goodgis video pops up! :)
I’m so obsessed with this series man I’ll be patiently waiting for the next one
I love your art man. So clean!
This is really well polished. Have you ever looked into the Pico-8? They don't have vector art, but I'd love to see what you'd make!
I had been watching goodgis for a couple years now and I had recently gotten the courage to start game development using Lua and love 2d and A month later, this video came out. 😊
Always glad when there's a new Goodgis video!!!🐱
lua's most unreadable line of code if 1 == 1 then print("math still exists") else print("me confused") end
Make a game in binary
Yes
send IT
So uh Every game is made in binary Hate to break it to you
@@shardofglass yes but he makes the game IN binary not it gets compiled/interpreted down to binary. He writes the binary script
@@Voidead_ he doesn't writes in binary, lol. he writes it on lua. if you want a game executable, you need to merge lua script with love2d runner.
I love this series please keep it coming
I am a long time love dev and love ur channel. epic crossover episode 🤩
Somehow you can always make the cutest things. This was really nice
That is the greatest compliment you can give. :D
This is honestly really really, Really ReAlLy cool!
if anyone's wondering what the song is at 0:50 the song is the mii maker song from the wii u
Your art style looks very "pawlished" 😄 loved the vid ❤️
Great video and another great minigame!
This is a very cool Idea for a game, unlock different cats with different abilities, ball modifiers maybe a rat? Good stuff man nice video
yoooo new goodgis vid!! btw isnt lua a language that a ton of people find difficult or hate for some reason? idk its just something ive heard a lot
I've heard its super easy to learn, I think it might have a reputation as a more "beginner" language, not completely sure though.
Idk why, it's super easy.
@@Goodgis huh.. interesting :P
Programmers hate Lua because it's 1 indexed 💀😂
@@deluxe_1337 nah fr tho
I'm a HUGE fan of Lua!!
Really? I had no idea. ;)
My two favorite youtubers in one video
😮 these guys inspired me to keep making games when I would get burned out or discouraged
Thanks to you I am now starting to make my own game thank you so much ❤❤❤
huge chuckle on the sublime text part
good job, I'm certain you've given at least one person some inspiration
Today, I was thinking it would be cool to learn Lua and Love2D. I see your upload as a sign of fate 🤓
Lua was actually made in Brazil for a gas station brand called Petrobras
I would absolutely love to play this game
Heyyyyyyyy!!!!! Im new thats cool ur awesomeness itself keep up the good work.
What art software do you use. This art is SO IMPRESSIVE!
I think its GIMP but im not sure
I love your vids bro!
I'd still like a video on the game studio, but I guess this is a nice video too :p
We need MORE devs like Goodgis.
Finally a new video ❤❤❤
Hey @Goodgis i love your videos btw I was Hoping You could use Microsoft Small Basic In your next video , no pressure just a suggestion!
Great video!
As a lua dev, I LOVE lua and luau. I think that the amount of of software and love2d limitations are stupid. What I mean is how limited access lua is. I don't even know if you can open multiple windows with it. I am learning python but Lua will always be in my heart. I started game dev on roblox, using luau. Ever since I have been making scripts, but now I think it's time to move on and make python games from now on. Thanks for giving lua the love it deserves!
i love your art dude😅
Eh? I just discovered Love 2d Engine a few days ago after seeing a game jam about it on itch. I brushed it off because I already have Unity and I know nothing about Lua. I didn't really expect a video like this, it's actually good 😮.
you need to release the song its so good
Surprised Minetest wasn't mentioned here: It's how I learned Lua by making mods for it. Great scripting language I still happily recommend! Python and JavaScript work too but Lua remains a great one to work with.
making it a ball of yarn was right there
what sublime text theme are you using?
Nice, what did you use to make the art? I'm new to this
Love2D is a great framework for lua! Lua is a purrfect programming language for beginners, imo.
What code editor are you using?
What a coincidence wow! I started learning löve2d yesterday.
What software do you make your art in?
what do you use to make the cat hands?
what font do you use in sublime text?
i need to play this
What do you use for art ?
Love the Frutiger Aero music
Great video as always, I was wondering what software you use for art, do you mind sharing?
affinity designer 2
Can i ask how much time took you to learn and create this game
is there a way to play the game? I've checked on your website and can't seem to find it.
Interesting, Lua is also used in ti nspire calculotors, think you can port it?
You can make gmod add ons with this since they use Lua too.
you should’ve kept the option to paws your game
Hey, Goodgis should do another video talking about free and open source game dev programs. I didn't know about that Love program and apparently it's free and open source. Cool.
Lua is a great programming language and extremely underrated especially cuz ppl only know it as the roblox programming language sadly. Great job tho👍
You should've made it a ball of yarn with a bit of yarn trailing down
what font did you use?
Sublime editor made this video 10 years old.
this video was more enjoyable since lua is the only programming language i know
As a Lua enjoyer myself, the language really could have done with 0-indexing tables
1 indexing is better (obviously)
@@gmdrandom6287 0 indexing has a lot to do with how pointers and arrays in C work so 1 indexing isn't better or worse in any ways, i have seen many people who use 1 indexing in their C++ code for competitive programming contests
Pink is my favourtie game mechanic
What theme is that for sublime?
brilliant idea
Thank you! Cheers!
Next you make Big Rigs and make a Lua script library for it!
HE’S BACK!!!❤
:D
Can you put Lua like the download in the description bc I’m having a hard time deciding which lua website is real and which one is a virus
This is the best disguised malware for cyber espionage, I'm very impressed :)
I had an experience creating a level design for game, without any knowledge of programming, only just little logic how program works, it was made in lua
Eh idk the difference of sublime text and vscode thats free with extensios, what is it that he's paying for specifically?
Finally Brazil Mentioned Not directly, but you know, lua is a brazilian programming language
This tutorial is also useful for making Minetest mods and games and also Super Mario Bros X2 episodes and levels
How easy is Lua compared to C#?
Music is great
Hi,So I was wondering how much money will Dewdrop Dynasty cost?I am kinda interested in buying it when it comes out.
PLEASE give us a tutorial for graphic design and PLEASE give us a tutorial for game dev
3:12 jump into PAWlishing the game
LOL
yeah lovely lua i am currently struggling to build my first nvim plugin with it.
Now update the game and go full robtop mode by adding lore and secrets
Anyone remember PSP homebrew? Most homebrew games were built with LUA!
Dude when you next devlog?, also is dewdrop going to be on Mac?
how do i design stuff like you. you say something called infinity but i dont know how to get it
You should try making a game in Processing, it's pretty easy, I think.
Whats the song at 1:00
Can it run on the TI-Nspire tho?
Giraffes are awesome
as a roblox developer (for short, lua developer), just the fact that you appreciate lua (there are barely any game devs that are not roblox game devs that appreciate lua) is already great but lua is way more powerful then YOU think, so moral of the comment: make more videos of lua please i beg.
It was my first game framework
I NEED this game aahhhhh
Politics! I mean i mean kittens 😅 Got me wheezing 😂
I need this game
