warmaker777 Hey Thor, I'm curious as to if you've ever seen or played any FPS/RTS games like Natural Selection 2 or Nuclear Dawn? the concept to me is amazing and super fun, but for whatever reason the genre hasn't caught on and not sure why. do you think its because games like that are hard to develop, too niche of a genre, or both? I do hope an FPS/RTS is able to release sometime and become popular to maintain a large healthy audience. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2016861143?t=5h25m21s

Wirespeed91 Hi Thor, I wanted to take a moment and mention a game I just heard about today. It is called "So To Speak" and it's a language puzzle game. You play as a tourist in Japan with zero knowledge of Japanese and you have to translate things using context clues and people saying things. No prior knowledge is assumed. It's still in development, but I played the demo (about 40 minutes) and found it surprisingly fun. Also, the demo was free, unlike what I'm told about Heartbound's. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2016861143?t=5h29m12s

chrisjdarcy Burnt out, laid off sound design guy here again. I had actually been doing your job application strats before I saw your content but I still get rejected/ghosted. How do I find the will to keep going to regain work? It's been over three months and that will work against me too. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2016861143?t=5h33m13s

#

Blanky Cat Hi Thor I hope this TTS finds you well. I am a 3D artist and I have been stuck in my progression mindset. I can't make a model or anything without feeling the pressure of it being a perfect portfolio piece. Recommendations? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2016861143?t=5h42m25s

#

Bandaid_Boi Hey Thorium, I recently started watching the past few weeks and noticed you mention your schedule with stuff like 3 hours of freetime and I'm guessing waking up really early. What's your schedule like and how did you end up starting this? Side note: very excited for the ashes guild when the game comes out https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2016861143?t=5h52m50s

#

longwing detrain Speaking of books- Have you ever heard of flintlock fantasy? It is perfect for a pirate like you. Brian McClellan’s Powder Mage trilogy is a fantastic and gritty world that sits well within the genre and is a good read. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2016861143?t=6h09m13s

#

OpusMag Thor, I am so happy for all your success, it couldn't be more deserved. It does however make me a bit sad that there are so many goblins now that I cannot goblin to the degree I used to. But, I will attempt to scratch my itch: Hey favorite Twitcher, have you heard about the turbo encabulator, oops I did it again, 7, call J G Wentworth, buy the demo, get the PP pass for free, start using scrum for optimal efficiency, suck on these switch tits, 7 7 7 7 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2016861143?t=6h11m12s

TheOtakuSauce Cheer100What games could you suggest for someone looking to do a game with mechanics like LA Noire but not as high of a budget or as intricate?Also, I too remember and miss GeoCities. 91 kid. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2016861143?t=6h19m30s

#

Crimpty I hear you talking about Hack Net all the time, but have you ever heard of Net Hack? It's an old open source roguelike from the 80s with systems rooted in AD&D. Also, Love the stream, it's a comfy place. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2016861143?t=6h23m13s

memstel hello Thor :) what are your thoughts on stackoverflow? do you think senior developers should use it? how would you encourage someone to start his own project or to find his dream job in which he won't do a shitty projects? greetings from Poland https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2016861143?t=7h24m32s

Bleats Sinodai Morning Thor! it's 7:34AM here in Brazil rn, hope your breakfast was nice. Anyway, I don't understand why some ppl use ChatGPT like a search engine. It generates output based off prompts you give it.. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2016861143?t=7h29m03s

#

EffieCrow In a stream I mod for, chat found the TTS bug where the voice has a weird reaction to reading out the names of certain emotes and they collectively and methodically began going through all of them, noting which ones were affected to solve the problem. It was a hilarious exercise and I thought “Thor would approve of this” https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2016861143?t=7h37m22s

Bleats Sinodai Hey Thor, The Demo and My Wife asked me to wish you a happy get burgered. The polycule is going great. We're naming the kids Java, Godot and T.O.S. Violation. 10/10 would marry the Demo again. Thank! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2016861143?t=7h51m56s

GoldShipRocinante Thank you Thor for all the motivation and positivity. Everybody asks which game dev platform is best. I would like to know which programming language you recommend, C sharp, python, java, something else https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2016861143?t=7h52m25s

#

cosmo_sobaka Hello Thor. Feeling better and better thanks to your motivation. It’s strange how even if you understand your problem and know the solution, you sometimes really need to hear the solution or something like that from others. This time there will be witnesses so consider the next sentence as a warning. In 10 years there will be a message from me in chat that this stream is actually pre-recorded. Also can I get 7 crabs in chat? We'll get you eventually https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2016861143?t=7h55m06s

AdorkablyAutumn Good morning you beautiful human! Do you automate going live on youtube, if so, how? Having to navigate to the creator dashboard every time to get it prepped feels a little ridiculous. You don't have to do that with Twitch! Also, I lost the game. Sorry not sorry chat. Go buy the demo. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=0h38m24s

#

Mlghty_Jonah yarrCheer500 Good morning Thor Do you have plans to play absolver it's a great game also I think beanz just ate all the socks from the demo so there's only vitamin D guys so eat the demo before beanz does https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=0h51m43s

#

graywolfs_ Good morning Thor, it's me again. I just wanted to ask two more things, have you seen the game Shadows of doubt before and when you play The Hex will you stream it (it's about 6 hours long). and also the demo keeps eating all my files, it's now 120 Terrabytes big. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=0h58m58s

#

Chris92 yarrCheer500 With the high influx of money from 4 world record hype trains and you saying you don't need a lot of money to live off of, have you considered donating part of that money to charity? While I think you deserve all the love the goblins have given you, I can't help but think that part of it would be better spent helping cancer or ALS research e.g. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=1h12m16s

#

islewolf_fo Hey Thor! I love your taste in games! Have you heard about Full Quiet? Neither has anyone else! It's the most technical impressive NES game I've ever seen, yet no one I know has heard of it! Since you probably don't have a NES, they also released it on all major platforms, including Steam. It's a real hidden gem with excellent graphics, music, and innovative and brutal gameplay. I enjoyed it so much that I'm spending the little money I have just to give it some exposure. Check it! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=1h19m57s

#

hudat024 Morning Thor! Now that I bought the demo I feel comfortable taking your time. I am building the foundation to launch a health/fitness community next year. Wanted to get your thoughts on logistics for streams and creating an environment of positive vibes. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=1h26m06s

#

404loud Thanks for all you do Thor, I have some GreyHack updates from the life raft the goblins threw together in the meantime. We were breached day one but became friends with the hacker before he nuked us, he's chill now. CTF/Gambling ring in the works and we used our 7 brain cells to make GoblinCoin & FerretCoin. Should we make a tool like Omni to back coin value? Thoughts? LINKS www.goblincoin.com, www.404.com. I want to have fun with the community. I will not hack you. Enjoy Tavern 404 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=1h36m07s

XiY3n EVE Dust 514 was an interesting concept that I wish would have taken off. Do you think developing multiple games in different genres and integrating the gameplay loops together would be worthwhile? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=1h59m41s

#

OGwrighty Good morning Thor I recently started playing AoE2 DE . One of the gifts I was given this year was a photo album and there was a picture from when I was like 6 playing AoE2 on a chonker of a pc, is there a game that you have been playing for 20 years ? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=2h10m58s

#

EmpyreanSeraphim Hi Thor, to what extent has your knowledge, understanding and experience in social engineering affected your everyday life? Can you read people better? Do you find yourself unconsciously using techniques on people? Is it a thing that you only do when you're on the job? Love to hear your thoughts on and around this. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=2h16m59s

#

warmaker777 Hey Thor, Ya Boi got some of the props for my Point and Click Horror Game from Amazon and I've already completed the foundation for one of the rooms and I'm currently tidying up the first frame of an animation. Progress is going slow and steady and its been fun, right now my only concern is incorporating things I cant really use props or costumes for. for example, one of the enemies I want to include is loosely inspired by the Olthoi from Asheron's Call, but more Roachlike. any advice? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=2h21m20s

#

CrusaderNella Hey Thor, Nella again. I have 2 questions. 1 I want to reach out to you in private, so I sent you a DM on discord, is that the correct way of doing it? Also, i apologize if it not 2. Do you have advise on how an introverted person to meet people who have the same taste in games as me? I'm surprisingly having a lot of trouble getting my friends to play Baldurs Gate 3 with me, and I dont like venturing out of my comfort zone to play games with strangers https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=2h24m52s

nexusbeam Hey Thor. Just wanted to say thank you for all you do for this community. I, like many others came over after being fed your shorts. Best decision I've ever made. Thanks to you, my dreams of being a game dev have been rekindled and I, with some friends of mine, are looking forward to the upcoming game jam next month. Again, thank you for all your do for this community is goblins and for the ferrets. Plus, I played the demo, loved it, and am gonna buy the full game. yarrBongos yarrBongis https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=2h48m30s

troytech had an idea. if you were to take the method of pykrete, replace the ice with quartz, change the sawdust to a fiber matrix with greater strength you could create something 1000 times stronger than concrete. just gotta grow the quartz under pressure instead of melting it because 1600 degrees celsius is way too hot for any fiber matrix. instead do a sillicic solution approximately 1000 to 1500 bars. this is the basis of my thesis. i dont just have game ideas... https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=3h34m48s

sahsie_plays Morning Thor, I have a question about the steam direct fee. it says it's 100USD or equivalent so I'm working in GBP so is it the same or is it 78.49BGP? Me and my Boy Friend are making a rock, paper scissors game in game maker and were nearly ready for early access. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=3h35m26s

raziel2806 Congratulations on your new throne, Oh Goblin King. May your tax returns be filled correctly, with no Oh No The Money mistakes.

EndingXi yarrCheer500 congrats on yesterday and now being the 4 time record holder. I know you think you don't deserve it but you do.

#

TheeLegendofDanieL wanted to pick your brain on what the possible future of games looks like when you have games like baldurs gate 3 with full expansion size updates for free lives in the same world as overwatch 2 which seemed to do the opposite with its sequel further this with the mind set of developers like rockstar who say games should be priced by the hour https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=3h52m44s

#

ZeroShonen Hey Thor, thank you for giving us 7 brain cells, now we can understand that the demo is not to eat, but to pay for it. Also, I can't stop thinking about Ashes of Creation, I watched hours of videos so far. However, I haven't sent my application on the discord (Sorry Khronos, new tickets incoming) since I don't know if it's mandatory to have previous exp in a social sandbox mmo and don't want to give more work to the mods (although, I just did oops) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=3h57m29s

#

miluion_ Salutations Thor, I wanted to ask you for some advice. I am currently stuck in a job that I don't enjoy. Although I like my team and I am interested in what I do, I just don't have any passion for it and I don't see myself doing it long term. I often work long hours so I don't have a lot of free time, and it's very stressful by nature so burnout is very common. I'm also worried I don't have enough skills for another career path. Much love <3 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=4h09m53s

#

true_shermanator Hi, Thor, I think the demo has gone up in price, because my friend said that he had to ship you the head of a tyrannosaurs, thankfully he had a working time machine so he went back in time and slayed on for you, he might have actually slayed all the dinosaurs by accident my stepping on a nuclear landmine one of the raptors placed but we wont talk about that, but just thought you should know https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=4h17m13s

runrig4ever have you heard about a new game engine and programming language that is in development called Fenforge? it is an engine and programing language that is apparently going to make, making online multiplayer games easier faster and less error prone, its under development by Andrew Gower the creator of runescape, i though you might be interested to keep tabs on it if you plan to make online multiplayer games in the future yarrBongos https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=4h33m54s

NerdMachine0 Yo Thar, currently working on a text based JRPG adventure game, as you may have heard from me before. I'm using GameMaker Studio and I ended up coding 200 lines to get player text input, then reduced it to about 70 lines, and it worked, but it was having issues. That's when I learned you can just use keyboard_string. Any advice for beginners on how to avoid mistakes like this?

Delteriaz Hey Thor and Hey Chat. First of all, greetings from Germany and OH MY GOD it's the YOUTUBE SHORTS MANN Pog jokes aside, I would like to thank you. You are an incredibly great person and I am really happy to have found this stream through the shorts and yes, thank you. The last few years have been hard for me but a lot of what you say gives me a different perspective on life so thank you again for that. Stay as you are and keep going. P.S.

#

halftimepackman To put this simply - having seen your shorts for weeks now, it's safe to say you reach people far and wide and the content you produce feels simultaneously so counter-culture yet so simple that I feel both silly for having not tried harder before and inspired to trust that I will always have what it takes. Keep doing what you do king https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=5h29m17s

gigglesthegirthy Good morning Thor! I woke up today to find the Discord server list. Upon further inquiry, I discovered I was banned for 'suspicious activity'—specifically, accidentally 'butt dialing' members while trying to ward off the Warp during my slumber. There was no malicious intent or intent at all, and I apologize if my chain sword snoring made members uncomfortable. I kindly request you, the great cursed one, to investigate and perhaps perform the ritual of unbanning. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=5h53m55s

#

bladedtaco Hi Thor, the other day you gave me the push to start my dream game after 11 years of programming. Its a magic duelling game where you program your own spells on a layered hex tile grid, focussed on sight-reading your opponents magic circle to counter or hijack their spells with your own spells. I've done several mid-sized games, made 3 programming languages, and I even did my honours thesis on teaching visual functional programming with gaming concept metaphors. It really is time to start. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=6h05m11s

#

SirTom1248 yarrCheer100 yarrCheer100 yarrCheer100 yarrCheer100 yarrCheer100 Hey Thor! Have you heard about the recent security incident involving a major gambling company? At least one player worked out that by decompiling the game client they could access the win percentage of their poker hand. They then used that to increase/decrease their bets and win $30k off other players. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=6h12m12s

#

Bavorik Hey Thor, I've been indecisive about starting my studio for a long while and you've helped spark that fire once again, thank you for doing this. One thing I am hesitant about starting fully is potentially being doxed and receiving death threats from haters. Any tips or suggested reading for how to help prevent doxing in developing games? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=6h13m55s

#

Dano97 Hi Thor, I currently work as an engineer but I'd love to get into game development, I don't have much spare time and I don't really have any experience, do you think It would still make sense to partecipate in your next game jam or is it supposed to be only for people with some experience? Thank you https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=6h22m19s

#

OneWingedFey Hi Thor, Odin's son, protector of goblinkind. Congratulations on all your well deserved success. You are an inspiration for every aspiring game dev, streamer, and creative person out there. I too have begun playing around with Gamemaker with zero experience in game dev and I actually have a functioning button on a screen. Yay me so smart. Thanks for the additional braincells and happy birthday to you good sir. Also seven. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=6h28m04s

#

TheonlycatYT yarrCheer500 Hey Thor, I was wondering if you had any recommendations for someone who feels like they don't have any creativity in them? Like whenever they try to come up with something or try to do anything that requires creativity, nothing comes out? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=6h29m00s

#

moonstonecoven Hey Thor! The last few mornings I’ve found myself listening to the stream on audio only mode on the twitch app. I was wondering if you’ve considered adding a channel on discord that could be audio only of the stream? Maybe behind one of the membership levels? Just a thought. Happy New Year’s Eve — Eve! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=6h33m48s

Dedergio Hey Thor, thanks a heap if you get to this tts, kinda been lurking for a while now because i saw your shorts on yt, as for my question. as someone who has moved across country do you have any advice for someone who is about to move half way across their own country for an apprenticeship opportunity, and its kinda dawning on me how scary it is but also exciting the change is going to be, but im trying to prepare best i can. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=6h36m03s

#

anvis_unlimited Hi Thor, the moment I saw your streams, I thought we need to be friends. So, can we be friends? And What are your thoughts on VR? You seem to be knowledgeable in about many things in computers, but why didn't you experiment with robotics? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=6h43m05s

#

vexie33 Hi Thor, last year german developer "innogames" has made their salaries public. Amongst the lowest paid positions were artists, for something so core to the appeal of any game that seems unfair.

#

Matti070 Hi, I'm new, i wanted to ask you a question. My dream is to become a game developer and i started to learn using Unity. How do you find new videogames ideas, like the genre, the story, the platform, or the programming language. Do you also have any advise for the engine/IDE to use, like unity or unreal or other staff? P.S.: I'm sorry for my english, i'm from Italy https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=6h56m47s

Hpf3 yarrCheer500 I have been having a lot of fun with greyhack, though 90% of my time is actually in vs code writing personal libraries.

Current in-game guilds are unsafe. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=6h59m18s

#

khovretto Hey Thor! Lately I lost the desire to make a game. And it's fine, because now I’ve got a burning aspiration to make an AI for you. Firstly I thought about making an AI of you, a digital copy with your voice, face and knowledge, but the sheer scope of it wouldn’t fit in new year holidays,so I decided to make a digital assistant for you, as a secretary, QnA bot and helper with tickets. I don't want it to disconnect you from your viewers,so I need your input on how it exactly should be implemented https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=7h06m03s

Light1c3 I saw your video about sleep, and was hoping for advice. I'm a software engineer suffering from KLS and am struggling to find a job. Any jobs in the industry that you think could work with my condition? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=7h17m58s

#

RowToney Hey Thor! Would you be so kind to check out Duelyst 2? It's Hearthstone on a chessboard. Bandai Namco shut the servers down, and a small dev team worked hard to get the assets for a passion driven revival project. Seeing the game healthier than ever brings me joy, and I wanted to share that with you all. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=7h27m02s

#

TetrafiedArcanist Sorry never dontated bits before, but i think its worth it cause i really wanted to thank you. you motivated me to start trying to create games again, and its been great, so thank you! keep up the good work https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=7h32m15s

#

Turt3zy Thanks Thor for being so helpful, answering mine and other's questions and just being an awesome dude. that Autonomous plane I was talking about has been totalled twice now, both times due to my error in takeoff which is not yet automated. I'm learning from every failure but is there a time you should just stop on a project or keep pushing until you eventually succeed? also if I ever get cursed quest, can it be using voice snippets to make you voice a mesothelioma ad? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=7h33m20s

#

warmaker777 in regards to your comments of The Beginners Guide, is there any incentive for or against someone making games on steam and disregarding commentary from players and simply making what the person wants. I bring this up because everyone always says listen to your audience, yet from what you said about the beginners guide, that seems counter to that. not trying to accuse anything, just playing devil's advocate. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=7h35m37s

TheOtherFaff Thanks for being a positive influence, you've really helped me deal with my 6 years relationship ending, just having you on in the background has been the distraction I needed, I'm not a parasocial creep, I just wanted you to know your vibes really have helped me calm myself https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=8h00m19s

#

Vellari78 Hello Thor and goblin horde. In AV-system programming we have to manually handle user input (or sensor input, contact closure, the clock etc). Was it a short input? Was it a long input? Were other inputs active at the same time? Did the user press ALL the buttons? Rising edge signal or falling edge? What ever the case may be, the logic is build manually in code. How much is that the case in game development? How much is provided by game engine automatically? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=8h01m19s

#

ValinalAddams Greetings, Thor. I hope your week gets better, what with the twitch situation and stuff. The other day, when I said I don't know my "ABCs" I meant I don't know my programming ABCs but I'm thankful for taking my question seriously, even though I wrongly phrased it, and for your answer. I'll try my best with YouTube tutorials and CodeCrafters. Thanks for being you and for all the support you provide to your community. You Rock! #BuyTheDemo https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=8h03m18s

#

MajorWeg Hey Thor. I appreciate your perspective on the creator/consumer relationship. How do you handle it when you really like someone’s content, but find out the person who created it was not a good person. IE: Love HP Lovecraft’s literature. Hate HP Lovecraft’s anti-semitism. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=8h09m31s

#

Boba__89 Hi Thor, just wanted to share my little story. Recently, my friend and me teamed up to do a small game. The funny thing is that he started a lot of small projects, but didn’t finish even one. As for me, I had few games from game jams, but I was too busy/lazy to make a full one. So, we perfectly complement each other, he has experience in programming and art, and I am good at game design and finishing projects. Also, we are going to participate in your game jam. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=8h22m22s

Tatty27 yarrCheer100 yarrCheer100 yarrCheer100 yarrCheer100 yarrCheer100 Hey Thor. Have you ever checked out Materia Magica? Played it years ago.

#

warmaker777 in regards to the roachlike enemy for my Horror Point and Click I mentioned, I was more so asking for advice as to how to make and animate assets for it. my issue is that I'm not an artist, so I'm more or less rotoscoping, kinda like how the animations in FAITH were done. my problem is how do I make assets for that when I really don't have a real world analog to capture from. any advice in this regard? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=8h24m50s

shandromand Hey Thor, I heard someone ask about prompts, I've run a weekly writing prompt thread for RWBY if you're interested to add somethjing like that to the discord. I've done it for seven years. :) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=8h28m27s

revanthyr Hey Thor, i am the guy who asked about how to make wow addons a few days ago. I have now learned the basics of Lua and i try to learn a little bit more everyday.

GrimReaperModz Hey Thor, i have an idea for a factory builder mixed with a city builder but i have no experience at all making games. Does it make sense to make a smaller proof of concept version of the game first to learn? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=8h30m45s

memburberry What do you think would be the most reliable way to find artists for a fan-made free game? Is searching through relevant discord servers reliable/appropriate or is there a better way?

erdelf What's your thoughts on ff14? An MMO with focus on being an RPG first, and the rather aggressively enforced positivity leading to the reputation of being the best MMO community, I always find it a fascinating study target. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=9h37m33s

#

Umahe Hello Thor, how are you today? A couple of days ago I asked you what I should do, whether to resume the project that had become abandonware or do something else, I was reflecting on it a lot and I want to take advantage of the old project to improve and make things that I have never dealt with as solo dev, create new assets, try new things, in short develop new skills that can be used for another game in the future. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=9h47m26s

John Fajardo Hi I've been trying to learn how to code but, I'm struggling to solve algorithmic/logical problems(exercises). I'm starting to think I don't have the aptitude for it. Do you have any advice on how to practice/learn this? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=9h52m12s

pippythedeadly Hey Thor and good day Goblins, love your content! I'm an aspiring 3D environment artist trying to enter the game industry. I want to participate in a game jam, but Im struggling to find people to work with and may have to join your game jam solo. Do you have any advice on finding others to do jams and projects with? Sadly there arent many devs in my local woods. Thanks so much and all my love to the ferrets https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=10h03m39s

#

theshepherdshound Curious about this because it is entirely missing from your website and was a huge part of my job as an Executive Director of the not for profit I ran, why not encourage the use of grants for game development? Depending on where you live it is a really accessible way of offsetting costs for prototyping or production. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=10h07m35s

XantherFG Hey Thor, you have really rekindled my fire to create again. Using Gamemaker for the first time to work on a Tower Defense game. Currently still in the pen and paper phase but you are motivating me to keep at it. Thank you. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2017817118?t=10h22m26s

troytech i like to make dnd characters based on historical figures. my best one so far is michael malloy aka mike the durable. 20 points in con. hill dwarf totem barbarian patrh of bear. dwarven fortitude. durable. i heal when i dodge. i resist almost all damage. had dm tell me "this will probably kill you" SOOOOO many times. just for a quarter of my hp in damage to occur. literally jumped out of a tower taking max fall damage in order to race the rogue to the ground floor and was fine. tough! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=0h49m06s

PercyGabriel3 hey Thor, I have an idea for a game but idk if someone has made it. Do you know if there is a rogue like where you collect tiles and each encounter those tiles are randomly arranged in a grid. Each turn you can only use one tile, or ability, in each row and the next one has to be touching the previous. Sorry, I don't know how to explain it well https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=1h05m14s

FinnishWaterGlass Have you played the Dishonored games or Vampyr? Those are games I keep playing over and over. Dishonored has really good level design and Vampyr is fun because you play as a vampire doctor. Vampyr does have a few issues though. It loads like five minutes everytime and easy difficulty is really easy but normal is way harder than I feel it should be compared to easy. Any similar recommendations? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=1h29m04s

LVL9Rinn Hey Thor, thankyou for being awesome, I was in school for game design when I was young before becoming disabled, and have since been a creator in secondlife since 2007 with middling success, but the 80+ hours a week, 2+ finished projects a month burnout is real, 4 days ago I jumped into gamemaker and spent a day just making a cube move, it was satisfying, have been playing in godot since, thankyou for rekindling that and letting me believe it's not too late. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=1h47m57s

KeshinWings Good Morning Thor, The Goblin King, long may he reign. This goblin was formally known as raziel2806 and I asked for advice on picking a name that gelled. I really liked what you said about it just being a placeholder for who I was and not mattering too much. So of course I took it literally, went from Placeholder to Avatar, to Incarnation, translated it to Japanese cause I like Japanese, bolted on my favourite gamer tag, and lo! I am now the goblin known as KeshinWings. Yarr. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=3h59m01s

Should I just learn GScript and learn C# when I wanna swap engines later down the line? Or maybe just try and brute force C# now somehow? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=4h02m16s

SteveInSpawn Hi Thor, I keep meaning to send you a message and offer to help with your GameJam but Life has been busy. I'll reach out soon. Have a happy New Year's Eve, and here are 500 batties since you haven't raised many subs this month. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=4h03m48s

FaithGamerr Hey Thor, love your work on twitch! I've been making games as a solo dev since 6 years, and now I'm about to release my second title on Steam. The game is ready, but before release, I plan to spend a month just on marketing, sending keys to streamers, does that sound like the right move? Also I'm not exactly sure about pricing. Any advice ? The game is called Duck's Despair. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=4h06m45s

NekoKatto Hello Thor ! Long time lurker ! Last month I decided to start with Game Maker and their asteroid template. Spent the month modifying and improving it with new enemies and powerups, made music and new assets, and finally published it on Itchio (my wife really had to push it tho). I got my very first feedback and it feels incredible. I wanted to thank you for the inspiration you give to young devs like me every day, and I wish you have a wonderful 2024 <3 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=4h13m30s

Phenack turns out "famous" streamer Ludwig is actually a fellow goblin, he mentioned it just before he ended stream, interesting bridging in demographics https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxeB2d_aeMqF6BtsW2lmPUKc3-OxPSDTlF?si=rJ4d4_FEhyE7qX45 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=4h21m55s

MegzHartie What does chat need to do to convince you to stream a few sessions of D&D on stream? I feel like chat has become the War Hammer wish machine we all feared. May the goals of chat's chaos be ever in our favors. 7 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=4h32m33s

#

warmaker777 in D&D I typically like to lean my characters to some sort of Narrative focus, and I don't mind becoming the villian of the game if it feels natural and leads to good narrative drama. best character I ever made was a Dragon who kidnapped a Noblewoman, fell in love with her, and was slain by a boar hunter who came to "save" her. the dragon was then reincarnated as a Human and set off to reunite with his love. loved that character, I feel like I've peaked with him. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=4h33m46s

marcoevelle Ending the year at 1.1 mill subs, congrats. 2024 will be the year of the goblins and gnomes and you will get to 10 mill in about 12-18 months. Come on goblins, lets go! Last thing, because of you, my interest in going into offensive security got re-ignited. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=4h34m24s

ThatisChloe16 been making a stealth first person game. Though you can turn it to an action game but it makes it way harder. And for the demo i'm considering making it either one of the past missions of the main character or a simulation. Also it's set in space https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=4h44m18s

ShiguKai -時雨- Hey Thor, love what you do, thanks for advocating for regional pricing. Steam question, Spanish is my main language but i always write my game reviews in English, do you think there's a difference? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=4h45m08s

#

solidshark91493 Thor, just make the next few shorts talking about how that channel is a scam, Make them bait themselves. Also! You always tell people to go out and make stuff. I was wondering if you would entertain doing a Thor guided game creation live on stream everyone could follow along with? Doesnt have to be anything crazy complicated, could be something chat votes on to make. Thought it could be fun and get people to jump in. Love to hear your thoughts, keep up the good work! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=4h46m11s

Vayes Hi Thor. I'm wondering where is the line between getting inspired by other games, and just ripping off ideas. How do I make sure I make my own thing inspired by other games' ideas and mechanics and not just a copy https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=4h49m22s

MajenkoTech Thank you for encouraging me to investigate Godot. Yesterday I started knowing nothing, now I have written a system like stream Avatars with cats and an IRC bot interfacing from twitch, all in one afternoon. #BuyTheDemo https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=4h53m31s

#

randomloginaccount I've just downloaded Godot and was immediately overwhelmed with the UI and tried to wrap my head around everything. Do you have a recommendations on how to start and maybe a good tutorial channel? I'd like to make a Rogue like game since I'm a fan of the genre. Found you with shorts and love you channel. Thanks for existing! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=5h01m02s

MegzHartie My New Year's Resolution is to figure out how I want to setup turn-based battles for my game prototype. I also resolve to convince chat to rise up. Rise up, chat.

RandomNopeGenerator earlier you showed Patricks Parabox and it reminds me of a game called "Death Squared" have you heard of it its really fun you play as cubes (its couch co-op) and you put on them on the correct coloured circles as a snarky robot comments on your deaths https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=5h18m21s

Djinnet Happy new year, thor and chat. I have some sad news. I bring ya the onion of the year. The stinkest of them all. Piratesoftware has three onions of the year for 2023, and there are nothing he can do about it. On that note; let the moderators out of the ferret cage, Thor. Beans just farted, pickle got water on him and mouse stared mean at me... AGAIN! yarrSads (Totally didnt forgot the bits. Dont worry about it.) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=5h19m53s

Kalbi_Ralalbi Hey Thor! It's me again. No writing questions this time, just wondering what your thoughts on a meatball just being a smaller form of meatloaf. A friend and I have been going back and forth over this for a week after someone brought it up. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=5h31m57s

FilSaFer I'd like you to know I'm in a call with 7 others and they all have been introduced to you through YouTube shorts. What have you done??? You are EVERYWHERE.

You seem like an awesome dude with an awesome community too. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=5h33m34s

BedroomSuite Hey Thor, I'm hosting a hacker CTF in a physical space,like a multiplayer escape room but with SQL injection.I'm worried players will accentually walk in on someone else solving a physical challenge and spoil it.There is a similar problem with overcrowding in wow, but blizz uses layers to solve it.How would you suggest dealing with players overcrowding a space and spoiling a challenge? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=5h34m21s

SchwiftyCatt Jason, this is gonna be the only time I ever actually use your name. Don't ever stop motivating people. I have no doubt that you realize the impact you have, but I feel that no one person can truly understand how far that impact goes. Please don't ever change. you're the best plainspeak motivator I've ever heard, and the world NEEDS more of that. Thank you for everything you do. You are so much more than a game dev, dude. Thank you. I'm sure all the goblins will agree. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=5h35m30s

st0nemonkey { } Good morning, Thor. I'm very interested in Fantasy TRPGs. Games like Final Fantast: War of the Lions, Tactics: Ogre, and most recently Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark. I'm interested in building a tile based TRPG like these. I started learning Unreal and it felt like overkill. I'm hesitant to push too deep into Unity with their monetization schemes. What engine would you suggest to make a game like this? Thank you! <3 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=5h39m26s

#

Dracula2600 I've found that I dislike StarCraft 2, not because of its storytelling but because of the camera & UI implementation. The camera is too close and the hotkey system frustrates me because, while it isn't forced, to truly take advantage of the systems, mouse AND keyboard are required. It made me think about it and I realized that everyone that I know has their own favorite RTS. Now I'm wondering what was the design choices that lead to locking the zoom out function at such a close frame? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=5h44m45s

#

warmaker777 when I mentioned getting a Thor Documentary deep dive. You started talking about exclusively RTS games like Starcraft 2. I'm talk8ng specifically RTS + FPS games like Nuclear Dawn and Natural Selection 2, where one player takes the role of commander and plays it as an RTS, and the other players play as the troops as an FPS. i'm wondering why these kinds of games specifically don't succeed and if we'll get one that can maintain longevity, that's what I was asking about a deep dive for https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=5h47m44s

H1manu Hey Thor, Do you Know these Games, Screeps, Shapez and Failure to Launch? Screeps is a Coding Sandbox MMO.

sartoriusmuscle Hey Thor, first of all, love you content and was able to see your content first from youtube shorts. I work in the medical field and I have a passion for gaming (if I have enough time after work that is). I love medicine and my science and what I do. This might be a dumb question but I wanted to ask you since you have further insight, how would I be able to contribute into the gaming industry? I thought maybe I could help with realism when it comes to anatomy or maybe some diseases. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=6h09m33s

Exeras Hey Thor, Back-end software developer here. Is it normal/okay that I don't do anything code related after work hours?

theepochs My husband is a full stack dev, with a couple indi games. I'd rather die than program, but we both love gaming, and watch your steam every morning. We're hoping this is the year he can quit his job and freelance/do his own projects. Your steam is like a dripline of good attitude that helps remember it's possible. Very grateful to you, your team, and the lovely discord goblins. Any advice on feeling irresponsible when you take a risk?

sonkomagnus "Dad, why is my brother's name Thor?" "Because he was born in a thunderstorm. But enough questions, Walmart parking lot.". It is time for Thor facts. Every time he says steam is awesome, he is actually spreading 19th century industrialist propaganda. That's why he stole copper for 20 years from federal power plants. He keeps ferrets to clean the brass pipes of his steam locomotive. Even when running a DnD campaign, he couldn't help but railroad https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2018758563?t=8h51m18s

Auctrix Anastasio Hey Thor, I’m constantly curious to why you don’t want to make MMO after work on World of Warcraft. Why is that? I’m really interested in developing an indie MMO, but I don’t know the first thing about net code. Any advice? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2019437822?t=2h38m15s

KariColors Happy new year and a very merry unbirthday, Thor. I decided that I would get into game dev starting this year before finding you, but watching your stream helps me stay motivated. You inspired the concept for the first small game I'm making. It started as a joke idea of avoiding getting gnomed and now it's evolved into a psychological horror game centered around managing a legally distinct tamagotchi. Thank you, from an imp in a sea of goblins. (Hey chat, are you capable of negative sevens?) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2019437822?t=3h42m15s

JenoIce Hey Thor, we talked before years ago where you tried to convince me to quit my underpaying programming job. Long story short, I didn't and the company is gone as of this year. I was laid off back in August, but when you started to pop off in October, I was stuck sick in bed watching your streams on my tv. Now as I search for a new job I've been filling my time by doing game dev and aiming for a small demo to put up on steam for early access. Part one of two https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2019437822?t=5h19m05s

#

JenoIce Part two of two. Its a megaman-like game where you play as a cyborg cat. I'm hoping to make one of the bosses a ferret, that's an ex testing animal with a need for revenge. So may I name the boss after one of your ferrets, and if so who? also got any advice for boss AI and coding? having a lot of trouble. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2019437822?t=5h19m36s

It sounds like a sitcom. Would it be like Silicon Vinnie or more like Big Beans Theory? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=0h53m23s

AceKokuren Hey Thor, I reached out through email about potentially purchasing Steam keys for Heartbound! I have tried creating a Thor ticket but it is always full when I try! I want to purchase these keys to run a giveaway on my stream. What is the best way to get in touch and discuss this possibility? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=1h18m16s

#

Argonius_Doge yarrCheer500 I've got a friend who goes too hard into programming various game prototypes and that that they regularly burn out on various projects. Is there any way I can convince them to take a break so they can stop burning themselves out so hard on their projects? I'm genuinely concerned they'll end up hating something they've been loving because they don't seem to understand how to do it in moderation. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=1h25m48s

graywolfs_ Hello Thor, haven't seen you yet this year (this is a lie I watched you yesterday. play canned laughter). Have you ever played Night in the woods? And what is your favourite DnD class? Also the size of the Demo has taken the size of all my clouds. 7 yarrBongos https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=1h27m10s

sonkomagnus hey streamer, with your privledged life. Streaming for fun but no money guaranteed? Your voice is absolutely incredible. The best I heard in fact. Soooo... did that make you cringe?

m4tt87x Hi Thor, was watching a documentary on hackers not long ago and they covered the mafia boy event... Turns out the day he almost killed the internet, i was living 2 streets away and i was 3 years younger... thats mindblowing https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=1h30m34s

nosabernolife from what ive seen in the YT shorts, u didnt develop burning crusade, I was wondering, did you have a role to play with developing Wrath of the Lich King? i swear that expansion is so goated. and also if its ok to ask, "what was the last WoW expansion you worked on?" I feel like blizzard lost its magic after u and metzer left https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=1h41m06s

#

Saiyanfox10 Good Morning, Thor. I want to ask how does someone become a QA tester and what work does it involve? I ask this because the reason I found your shorts was due to a QA tester I know. Also in regards to the response to my last question about Heartbound: I can afford the game, I just need to play bills first :) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=2h04m39s

#

Lucky_Lunge I've been listening to your youtube shorts for a while, caught a stream or two and decided to launch myself into making a mod for a game I poured hours in.

Vestarian Hello Thor, I hope you are having a good day. I am dealing with a bit of the whole "Trauma from work training" from way back then with programming and development, to the point I unlearned ALL of it. Thanks to your encouragement I want to try again. How can I get back into the flow of things? Is there a way to spectate or do small things in game jams, for example? Much love and many waffles from germany. <3 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=2h43m44s

Fa771n9 Hey Thor! Long time watcher, third time caller. Happy New Year! Thank you for getting me into making my game again after 3 years! I have a script in Game Maker that's just comments, kind of like a todo list. I have a list for the current session, as well as mid-term goals, to keep me focussed. At the end is a list of completed tasks. I'm at 27 now! Reading what I've done and seeing it grow is super motivating! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=2h46m18s

Staaxxs yarrCheer500 Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Throgus The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Goblins would tell you. It’s a ferret legend. Darth Throgus was a Dark Lord of the ferrets, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the sevens to create life… He had such a knowledge of the ferret side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The ferret side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=2h59m04s

Kirby_Jerusalem yarrCheer500 Hi Thor! I've been mildly interested in game dev for a while and had Articy Draft 3 on my Steam wishlist for a long time. I recently found out that Articy Draft X is now out and entirely subscription based, so I decided to bite the bullet and get Articy Draft 3, and now I feel committed to at least try a one person project and I'm eyeing a Twine engine game. Are Twine games useful as a first project for hobbyists? Also, any experience with Articy, whether good or bad? Thanks! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=3h06m05s

DiePottie yarrCheer100 yarrCheer100 yarrCheer100 yarrCheer100 yarrCheer100 Hey Thor, I recently entrusted my retirement fund to a Zambabwian Prince as he promised to return it to me tripled. I should then be able to buy the demo, also just a quick question: how does shipping work and do you ship internationally and if you do is the import duties included or not because i can alway use the wife's pension fund for that, here is her credit card details if needed her Card number is 7 7 7 7 7 7...7..7. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=3h08m05s

marcoevelle Hey Thor, I have a dev etiquette question. I have a discord bot in my server that keeps crashing. The bot closed it's source code a while ago, so I can't suggest any improvements as I don't know why it keeps crashing. I think I could make a better bot. Do I approach the dev and ask if he wants help, or do I just say screw it and try to compete with his bot? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=3h12m26s

DiePottie Hey Thor, I think I got cut off earlier. So here is my wife's Card Details again 7… Oh did I tell you! Thank you for inspiring the young and old to give game development a go.

paddy984 Hi Thor, just made my own pizza. It took a while to find the corn sand that you mentioned, but it really helped with making the pizza base. If anyone needs some corn sand all I had to do was trade with some Goblins for it, you can get 7 lots of corn sand from them when you buy them the demo. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=3h26m57s

Drallig Hey Thor, I'm a backend web developer who's under performing. In the last year I was pulled up by my employer for not reaching their standards of both quality and quantity, and I don't think it's without reason. My output is satisfactory (just) now but far from what I'm happy with. I struggle to self improve outside of work to reflect better at my job, and also feel procrastination is a partial factor too. Any advice? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=3h48m11s

warmaker777 hey Thor, was thinking about this and wanted your opinion. do you think Bethesda should license out the Creation Engine. alot of people give the engine crap and personally I feel like its not fair to the engine when its capable of making some fantastic RPGs, its more so Bethesda's recent game design practices that have been lacking, especially if them not using a GDD since Oblivion is true. I feel like in the hands of the right indie dev it could have tons of potential. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=4h06m32s

warmaker777 here's to help to pay for your suit for the streamer awards. also, finished your playthrough of Inscryption, incredible game. the second act of it kind of reminded me of Loop Hero and I was curious if you've played, pretty cool game, basically you draw cards and they determine the environment of this looping path you explore to gain power to eventually defeat the area bosses. would love to see you play. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=4h40m16s

ShyteHawk Howdy, love the shorts and finally here but here is a question. My son wants to get in to game dev but has anxiety issues and cant currently handle college. I am helping him look at online courses with Open University but I wanted to know if these qualifications were viewed in the same way within the industry and if so can you recommend something entry level for him to look at? Hopefully he wont see this so he doesnt shout "Cringe Dad" at me across the house https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=5h30m57s

Pythos Hey Thor, Have you seen That Game Studio's game that is coming from mobile to PC? It is called Sky: Children of the Light and it is an absolutely wholesome adventure with a beautiful soundtrack and visuals. Great for unwinding after a stressful day. Also like the demo, it is completely free [though it is currently a Demo for PC], all monetization is either cosmetic. The game actually brought me to tears. Also, Did you hear about the explosion at the Cheese Factory? De Brie was everywhere! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=5h44m39s

GuyInRobe Any thoughts on software like RPG Maker? I love the tool from back in the day as a high schooler but feel very few games are made with it. Is it a beginner level tool or just outdated in concept? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=10h06m45s

GReaper33 Hello Thor, I found you through yt shorts and I've been popping by once a while even tho I have no knowledge of programming, game dev and etcetera. On that note listening to all this has made me interested in programming/software engineering, so do you have any recommendations where you can learn the basics? Also Happy New Year and may your 2024 be blessed. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=10h14m48s

KariColors I apologize for my previous lack of detail on my horror tamagotchi game. Your interest was unexpected. Sadly it will be a while until I have a Steam page since I'm doing almost everything and new to pixel art. In short you play as a depressed teen who is alone for the holidays with a new virtual pet. You need to care for your wolf girl while also trying to take care of yourself. It's primarily a game about mental health, but that doesn't mean something eldritch isn't lurking. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=11h38m04s

heclos18 Hey Thor. I would like to know if I should do my Idea myself or hire a gamedev/studio to do it. Basically my Idea is to make a Movie Battles 2 in UE5. Which Means Lightsaber Combat with fully fleshed out combat, smooth animations with Force Abilities + Multiplayer. The Rest like character design, Map Design etc. should mostly be Assets. Should I do it myself or should a team /gamedev do it? If I hire someone how much time would it cost and money? Give me generally your idea/tips thanks https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2020447657?t=11h40m42s

FinnishWaterGlass Is there a way to write code without actually writing it? I have trouble with dexterity among other things, which makes typing very slow. It would be easier to basically build code like a puzzle so I wouldn’t have to write every word everytime. Like tying the words to individual keys on a keyboard maybe. Something to make it easier. Also, is English the only language you can use in programming? I’m a complete beginner. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2021390193?t=1h28m57s

warmaker777 hey Thor, had some questions about the jam. 1. If I halted the point and click I'm working on until the jam, could I submit that since I've only done 1 room and 5 frames of animation, or since I've already started would that be disqualified? 2. In regards to the AI art, if we used AI models trained on our own art, would that be allowed since it would be using art I have the rights too since it is my own? 3... yarrBongos https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2021390193?t=2h00m59s

Natnotsobrown hello Fart, Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Throgus The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Goblins would tell you. It’s a ferret legend. Darth Throgus was a Dark Lord of the ferrets, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the sevens to create life… He had such a knowledge of the ferret side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The ferret side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2021390193?t=3h01m06s

THANK YOU FOR INSPRING ME SO SO SO SO SO MUCH https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2023304300?t=0h45m20s

m4tt87x Hi Thor, the other day i did not understand the whole execution thing you were talking about, but found the part where it happened in Excessive Profanity Video and it was hilarious, Bro had to burry his best friend that day. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2023304300?t=0h46m00s

zachjohnsondesign It took me 3 tries to get my web developer certification, but I just got a great job that will fund my art projects. Thank you to all of the goblins who help spread Thor’s message! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2023304300?t=1h02m50s

StewyG2020 Good morning sir goblin king! As I'm cooking my corned beef hash for breakfast at this fine 4am hour, I had a thought. I think I would like to create a game similar to agar.io, but themed around your emotes and use those. Do you have any suggestions for which engine I should use? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2023304300?t=1h25m28s

#

RizkyBizniz Hi Thor, thanks for reading my lil dev log. I have an actual game dev question. I'm building a melee hit combo, but the same slash hits twice. Once on the first collision, and another time on animation end. How would you make it so that each hit can only make an enemy get hit once, without using hidden projectiles? Thank you! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2023304300?t=1h33m33s

Bacon7Pineapple you know how centaurs have 2 ribs? what about the spine that connects them, ever thought of that? also the babies - fouls can run right after theyre born and human babies would just flail about ontop. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2023304300?t=1h51m52s

TrowGundam Have you ever played any of the Star Ocean games? The recent SO2 remake is the new gold standard for faithful Remaster/Remakes.

Keep up the good work! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2023304300?t=1h59m38s

Vanis_14 Hi Thor, I just finished my BIS degree and quit my bank data tester job because I find it too boring, and preparing for AWS cert to work as cloud engineer for now. Can you give some route suggestion or advice if I wish to work in the VR industry in the future, including non-game? I generally enjoy infrastructure side of things more than coding, was enjoy coding in C# but struggle with Java, but open for any advice. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2023304300?t=2h06m45s

EininW yarrCheer500 Pineapple is Metal. It digests you too while you're eating it In Blood Bank, we can use the enzymes bromelain from pineapple, papain from papaya, and ficin from figs to break down proteins on red cells, then use the patterns of how that changes the results to identify your antibodies (like timed sudoku with life or death stakes) to find safe blood for you. A master pattern tracker with rebellious fruit marinade might save your life someday. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2023304300?t=2h22m00s

MojitoTheCatTheFirst Hi, Thor! After streaming everyday throughout the holidays, I ended up getting a fever from over-working myself. As I was basically bedridden, the only thing that stopped the days from merging into one hazy blob were your streams. So thank you for being there. Thank you for being consistent. Thank you for pushing me into becoming a better streamer and game developer. In all things, the one constant is the Goblin King. 7 7 7 7.

Vandil_the_Rogue we’ve had our eye on you for some time now, Mr. Hall. It seems that you’ve been living two lives. In one life, you’re Jason T. Hall, studio head of a respectable software company. The other life is lived in computers, where you go by the hacker alias Thor and are guilty of virtually every computer crime we have a law for. One of these lives has a future, and one of them does not. Remember, Mr. Hall, what good is a phone call, if you’re unable to speak? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2023304300?t=3h10m21s

Versec Hi Thor. This is the 1st time I spend money on Twitch, I have many questions for you. 1st one: You are so wholesome and self-confident. However, was there any time where you weren't like this? When I was younger I used to be much angry and frustrated with the world and myself, but now I'm more well adjusted https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2023304300?t=3h11m26s

#

gravereverie SocEng puzzle for you. This is the bane of my existence. You have a box with three stages. A stage where people can put things in. A stage where no one can touch the box, and a stage where people can take things out of the box. Then it resets. There is no physical barrier around the box. Inevitably, people start taking their things right before the 3rd stage, and when you tell them to wait, they put their things back. So now you have two breaches, not one. How do you make them wait? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2023304300?t=3h13m00s

andOlga Thor, here's game 2 suggestions for you: 1. Outcore. It's a game you interact with through apps on your computer, including Microsoft Paint yarrLUL. 2. Cassette Beasts. It's the best creature collector I have played pretty much ever. I am now deep into the postgame and am around level 130, that's how much I liked it. And I know you plan to make one sometime, so it'd be a good source of inspiration. Also, you mod the game by editing a Godot project, so it's good for game dev practice. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2023304300?t=3h42m27s

#

miluion_ Good Thorning, I have a question about the game jam. Does it come in any other flavours? Like maybe a strawberry jam? I don't like the taste of games, although I did eat a demo once. Worm regards. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2023304300?t=3h54m45s

Yodasean33 Hey Thor! Got into your streams through the silly little youtube algorithm. Thanks to your stream on Grey Hack, my employer bought me it, and wrote it off as training. Are there any proper resources you would recommend for cyber security? Maybe something like the CompTIA? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2023304300?t=3h55m09s

andOlga Also, I am now a a member of the Godot Foundation and I was wondering if perhaps that would also be something you'd be interested in doing with your newfound jizzilions of dollars. No pressure, I fully understand if you'd rather dedicate everything to ferrets, but that feels like something that would help game dev a lot in the long run. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2023304300?t=4h04m32s

merixlabs Hey Thor, Merix again with the BG, ty for the suggestion on kickstarter vs publisher for BG. The first thought at first was going with a publisher to handle dist, art, etc. I am def thinking kickstarter might be the best fit now, thanks!

I will probably be asleep by the time you read this, Chat I hear if you do a hype train Thor will give out copies of the game "The Demo" https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2023304300?t=4h27m01s

I'm planning to run 4 CTFs and compare the results. Considering this will span multiple months work, what's the best way to document this and keep it on track? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2023304300?t=4h30m22s

Th15r4nd0mp3r50n Discount Mumbo here. Block game is inexplicably still dropping snowballs, and yet the santa-man is no longer visit-able. On the topic of block game the Ranger Class with Backstab would still make sense, and perhaps a "spell" that puts a "mark" on a target that lets the ranger deal additional damage with a BOW to the target that is "marked", we could call it the "Ranger mark". Yes. An original idea at last. I also think stealth fits a ranger. Invisibility & maybe an arrow blink ability? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2023304300?t=4h32m16s

mem0ryfade Thor, I love ferrets and hope you are able to do what you are doing forever. As someone with other pets, I am curious on your thoughts on eventually being able to help other animals. While I love ferrets, there are a lot of exotic animals that also need help along with ferrets. Have you considered that you might be able to make a lot big impacts across animal welfare. Once snail house is fully running at the scale we all want to see, do you have any other ideas long term ideas? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2023304300?t=7h07m12s
