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
His art is so clean mr. clean approves
;) 🧼
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
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
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!
Always glad when there's a new Goodgis video!!!🐱
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!
What a missed opportunity, you could have made it a yarn ball!
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. 😊
Your art style looks very "pawlished" 😄 loved the vid ❤️
if anyone's wondering what the song is at 0:50
the song is the mii maker song from the wii u
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.
This is honestly really really, Really ReAlLy cool!
Somehow you can always make the cutest things. This was really nice
That is the greatest compliment you can give. :D
I love this series please keep it coming
I am a long time love dev and love ur channel. epic crossover episode 🤩
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
lua's most unreadable line of code
if 1 == 1 then
print("math still exists")
else
print("me confused")
end
Great video and another great minigame!
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!
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
huge chuckle on the sublime text part
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.
Today, I was thinking it would be cool to learn Lua and Love2D. I see your upload as a sign of fate 🤓
Love the game! What software do you use to make your artwork?
What art software do you use. This art is SO IMPRESSIVE!
I think its GIMP but im not sure
Heyyyyyyyy!!!!! Im new thats cool ur awesomeness itself keep up the good work.
good job, I'm certain you've given at least one person some inspiration
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 😮.
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
Love2D is a great framework for lua! Lua is a purrfect programming language for beginners, imo.
I'd still like a video on the game studio, but I guess this is a nice video too :p
I love your vids bro!
i love your art dude😅
I would absolutely love to play this game
Thanks to you I am now starting to make my own game thank you so much ❤❤❤
What a coincidence wow! I started learning löve2d yesterday.
Love the Frutiger Aero music
you need to release the song its so good
We need MORE devs like Goodgis.
Great video!
Finally a new video ❤❤❤
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 was actually made in Brazil for a gas station brand called Petrobras
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!
Nice, what did you use to make the art? I'm new to this
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 kept the option to paws your game
You can make gmod add ons with this since they use Lua too.
What software do you make your art in?
Pink is my favourtie game mechanic
making it a ball of yarn was right there
i need to play this
You should've made it a ball of yarn with a bit of yarn trailing down
Next you make Big Rigs and make a Lua script library for it!
what do you use to make the cat hands?
Interesting, Lua is also used in ti nspire calculotors, think you can port it?
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
This tutorial is also useful for making Minetest mods and games and also Super Mario Bros X2 episodes and levels
Great video as always, I was wondering what software you use for art, do you mind sharing?
affinity designer 2
You should try making a game in Processing, it's pretty easy, I think.
Dude when you next devlog?, also is dewdrop going to be on Mac?
what sublime text theme are you using?
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
Music is great
yeah lovely lua i am currently struggling to build my first nvim plugin with it.
What code editor are you using?
What do you use for art ?
3:12 jump into PAWlishing the game
LOL
3:45 animatic baltl !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I use lua for roblox and it is easy if you put time on it to learn it
this video was more enjoyable since lua is the only programming language i know
Anyway I can play it? Seems like a fun thing to do in between studying!
I've been taking coding classes for a while now and started with gdevelop, I'm heading on to roblox in a week or so and I'm scared after watching this video 😭
Definitely more exciting for python once roblox is done! 😆
Nah, it's really not that bad. I would say Python and Lua are pretty similar.
@@Goodgis Oh thanks! Helpful 😃
Finally Brazil Mentioned
Not directly, but you know, lua is a brazilian programming language
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.
Sublime editor made this video 10 years old.
what font do you use in sublime text?
Can i ask how much time took you to learn and create this game
PLEASE give us a tutorial for graphic design and PLEASE give us a tutorial for game dev
Brilliant everywhere
😮
It was my first game framework
what font did you use?
is there a way to play the game? I've checked on your website and can't seem to find it.
I need this game
How easy is Lua compared to C#?
Anyone remember PSP homebrew? Most homebrew games were built with LUA!
I NEED this game aahhhhh
that's cool, but here's a button script in Roblox Studio:
local part = script.Parent
part.Transparency = 0
local function press()
part.Transparency = 0.5
wait(0.5)
part.Transparency = 0
end
part.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(press)
This is the best disguised malware for cyber espionage, I'm very impressed :)
0:54 the mii channel wiiu song:(
Indeed
brilliant idea
Thank you! Cheers!
What theme is that for sublime?
Giraffes are awesome
Whats the song at 1:00
