Ser_Bragi Hey Thor, I'm at the stage where i want to achieve my goal of moving countries and entering the AAA space, but that's more out the desire to learn and work with more experienced and perhaps veteran devs in person i guess I'm little confused and maybe changing my mind if i should given the recent lay offs and state of AAA. should i try to find an indie team to work for? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=5h43m03s

lady_bug_man Thank you for helping reigniting my passion to make games. I've been making them ever since watching the behind the scenes of god of war 2 when I was a teen. Went to college for it but had a bit of a nervous breakdown. Its taken me ten years and seeing a proffesional but I'm getting better and I want you to know you played a part in that. So thank you so very much. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=5h46m41s

RedCyberDragon29 Your Majesty, We have another report of Thorosis. A Red panda in Germany escaped from a zoo for a few hours because they wanted to participate in the game jam. Related question, do you think domestic ferrets would get along with a red panda? https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2024/01/19/germany-Cologne-Zoo-firefighters-red-panda-Barney/6581705680298/ https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=5h47m25s

Branio127 Do you think there's an untouched space in the nsfw gamespace? Not that Witcher 3, cyberpunk, and BG# aren't great games, but I can't help but feel that "sex sells" helped them with the mass market they reached. Curious what a fully fleshed out nsfw game would see in success. Now, I don't speak from experience ;) But the NSFW gamespace is dogshit https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=5h51m23s

#

Mitzunari did you ever hear of the games New Cycle which is like a Frostpunk base building gabe but with general weather disasters and 2nd the game Creature Creator which is a spore inspired game. both of those look neat https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=5h56m20s

Ryoon2K Hey Thor, how've you been? For the past three weeks I've been bettering my godot skills by making an interactive scene for twitch stream. I usually have a 2D classroom as my scene but I decided to upgrade to 3D because I thought I could do more fun and interactive stuff with it. I had to find a workaround to have my webcam in it, and how to use my SAMMI deck with it. Now I am adding a Websocket addon for Alerts and chat commands. yarrCheer100 yarrCheer100 yarrCheer100 yarrCheer100 yarrCheer100 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=6h07m12s

#

Freddos Do you have any tips on how to outline your game properly to prevent chaning a lot of code later? I often need to go back and recode some previous code while I come up with new things or functionality to make it work. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=6h28m25s

Vandil_the_Rogue Lord Thorium, we require the following Heartbound translations: Ubbi Dubbi, Pig Latin, Klingon, Ferret, Burger, Gnome, and The-Demo-Is-Not-Free-Don't-Let-Thor-Lie-To-You. Remember, no corporations were harmed in the making of Palworld. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=6h39m46s

JSON_BOURNE_ I was recently diagnosed with A.D.D and it explains so much about my life and difficulty to get my personal projects done. I feel like I've wasted the last 10 years of my life being less productive than I could've been, and I'm terrified of being medicated. This is mainly a thankyou since every time you pop up in my A.D.D induced doomscrolling I get sucked out of it and feel inspired. From a fellow long-time dev, keep doing what you're doing. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=6h53m55s

haruhostcom Hey, Thor, I have been working on a gameserver manager that is free to use. Support for Palworld was added a few days ago. I would like you to check it out at https://haruhost.com not sure how long the message can https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=7h14m47s

bearmetalart good morning Thor. Good tidings to you. I signed up for the Game Jam for a 4 X strategy game where it’s a 2d galaxy conquest game inspired by a really old game of the same genre. Its name is Spaceward Ho! After a weekend from heck as a parent - 2 of my kiddos ended up in the ER this past weekend, I don’t have the opportunity to work on the game mechanics before the GJ is up. The question is it worth submitting the design Doc for review or just pulling out all together. Tons of respect. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=7h15m38s

#

cursedmoon13 yarrCheer500 double checking the number of bits this time, because I accidentally cheered 400 the first time and I'm very upset. One of my coworkers mentioned "that pirate streamer" when I told him I've gotten into Palworld, so congratulations, you made it. In related news did you see the article on hard drive dot net about the devs being terrified of some random YouTuber? Fun stuff. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=7h20m04s

#

shandromand Good Morning Thor and Chat - have you seen that ebay paid 3 million for their stalking case? I had no idea about this - there's an article on ars technica "eBay hit with $3M fine" This is wild and scary as hell. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=7h31m26s

bluesupermn4 yarrCheer500 In the brevity of life, cherish love’s warmth and navigate the shadows of loss with resilience.

BlindedOwl hi thor, I was wondering while playing heartbound. I am trying to build a dialog system based on astortion and heartbound. How do you keep track of what dialog options can be triggered based on what you've unlocked? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=7h52m57s

#

Magek8 Love your content Not a coder, but as an engineering student, I get some of what you say – truly amazing stuff! Had a security hiccup – unauthorized charge on Amazon triggered a spam onslaught. Changed my password, but now I'm paranoid. I do use similar passwords for most things so thats my fault. Even checking my bank account scares me. Any advice for boosting online/overall security, changing passwords, etc. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=8h22m48s

#

sDreamDime - Likely naive question: I am a full time senior dev going the safe route working for a company a bit, after 15 years of self employment. Assume you'd be in that place again and have a game idea you love, but you know is way too big for you and your love for gaming isn't the same anymore. What would you do. Find peace and move on? Risk it all? Finance a team? What does your experience tell you? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=8h44m40s

Sosa The Shooter Hi Thor! I'm a Data Engineer with 4 years of experience at Deloitte, Facebook and an Intelligence company. I'm looking to be a DE for a Gaming company. What's a good way to make that transition? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=9h34m09s

#

The_Space_Prophet Hey Thor.. I am one of those people you intentionally or not managed to help motivate me to get life on track. I have ADHD ( Diagnosed by specialist not Chat.MD ) so being able to listen to your streams as I work on my passion things is a HUGE thing for me. Doing the hard grind for thing we care about isn't easy so having a community that pushes as a collective with same mind set. Sooo Beneficial. Khronos told me to say You don't Deserve it all https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=9h42m15s

#

x_rchana Hey thor, I'm a solo dev working on this game jam. I'm wondering if I've doomed myself by not asking for help. I am confident I can make something good by the deadline but I'm worried and disheartened I wont stand a chance winning against the coordinated 5 person teams https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=9h47m33s

brushanddagger First time bit question: I have been getting more and more into d&d, from running 1 bi weekly game to now 3 years later, running 2 paid and 2 home games, I'm having moral issues with how WotC and Hasbro is running their company and comunity, to the point I'm considering developing my own system/setting to jump ship so that I can create content of my works (modules/live plays). Am I overreacting, or is there merit to wanting to strike out on my own for these reasons? thanks https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=9h53m25s

#

Saiyanfox10 I finally brought Heartbound after dealing with bills, and I'm having fun and get slapped with feels. But can you talk about some facts about ferrets? I'm working on a homebrew conversion of shifter from PF1e to PF2e as I like the concept of the class and I'm planning to do research to create feats for it after finishing the framework of the class. thank you. And the demo is free, 8, and you will never gnome Thor but keep trying. It might inspire you to do something else https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=9h57m34s

subscrublord Glad you do what you do. Does anyone else here have the issue where as soon as you start working on a personal project, your bodily functions start interrupting disproportionally to the rest of the week. Is it only because I noticed it more, or is it because my own body is plotting against my success? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=10h12m55s

#

ZeeWeasel Hey, thanks for all the awesome tips you've given about streaming (Streamer.bot, Free Multistream via OBS Plugin, using CC Plugin for Twitch, etc). Now for some less technical. I am trying to do a better job with my commentary / interactions, ESPECIALLY not using filler words. I notice you do an excellent job at avoiding filler words. What was your process of eliminating those and any other tips for doing good talky talky to the interweb goblins. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=10h24m23s

jXndr Shifting thought to a different lane of Pokemon, wondering your thoughts on why a company like Pokemon would make their own in house TCG client (mobile + desktop) but have zero microtransactions or any ways to make money from it? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=10h26m55s

GupUnderscore Hey Thor, ive been streaming recently and have had a couple of viewers each stream and got around 80 views on my first youtube video. Im doing this because me and my friends just play alot of games so might as well turn that into content. Recently tho I feel like I have to try and make some sort of higher quality content other than just me and my friends goofing off. Theres people watching me so I have to improve or do something to entertain them https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=10h45m18s

Kandles yarrCheer500 Hi Thor :) Just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do.

chrystooctocubegames Hey Jason. I'm the creator of ISEPS and CIFI and I was just informed that you've been playing ISEPS for a while (indeed, the one with the particle effects). That's awesome! If you would ever want someone on the show to discuss mobile gaming and how to make it out the algorithm nightmare that it is, let me know. Anyway I just wanted to say hello and let you know I think it's fantastic you've been able to have a good time with ISEPS. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2040167044?t=12h06m35s

ZePiapiou Hello thor. I was asking myself if a Game Design Document was necessary for the game jam. Because the form to submit your game ask if we included a Game Design Document. Then it ask if we remembered to include our Game Design Document. In fear of you not seing my Game Design Document, I added my Game Design Document in the build. Then I added my Game Design Document in the game description. And Finally I added the Game Design Document as a standalone downloadable. Should I add the link to the Ga https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2041111754?t=1h34m23s

ryzizub Hey Thor! Thanks for your content and ferret rescue, you are awesome! Have a question. My wife is transitioning from her current industry, Marketing, to IT. She enjoys testing my apps and has a keen eye for quality. Her strong interest lies in QA. Additionally, she's an avid gamer (sometimes, I think, even more than me - I'm a lucky guy). I suggested she might also be interested in Game QA. Could you provide any tips on what to learn and how to start a career as a junior QA? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2041111754?t=3h40m32s

dannyman2k Hey Thor! I wanted to thank you. I deeply appreciate All the work you are giving. Your positivity and encouragement to develop games has inspired me to give this a shot. I know I can do the work. Cutting out the work is where I struggle. I've been struggling with feelings of uselessness and depression, which was diagnosed to actually be untreated ADHD. And the work you've cut out for us has moved me to try. Thank you so much. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2041111754?t=3h54m49s

MacDaAce IGN is reporting that the modder who made the Pokemon mod for Palworld is saying Nintendo is at his door. Its also reported that he had the mod behind a paywall.

CajunTator Did you know that with Treatstream if you put the meal order into your cart, and get to the final screen but don't purchase, others can also do the same?

LurkerInTheWires As an old grognard, you can capture chat by telling rambling stories that have no real end. Like that time I was walking around Azeroth with a limited-charge flask at my hip, which was the style at the time. We'd get that flask from one of the quests, of which there were many. In fact sometimes we'd stumble across quests we'd have no way of completing! So there I was, with a limited charge flask at my hip, as I walked through Trashshire, which was what we called Goldshire at the time... https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2041111754?t=5h54m53s

I have already begun drafting multiple game idea plans but how would you recommend someone get started in the industry if they have no knowledge or experience with coding/programming? Keep up the awesome job! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2041111754?t=6h48m51s

LurkerInTheWires okay, setting aside my normal trolling voice messages for a fun science fact. Most people think the sky is blue. It is not. The blue is the light that penetrates our atmosphere, which itself is the "sky." But its color would rightfully be the light it reflects, meaning the true color of the sky is more of a yellow-orange color, the polar opposite of the blue we see (at least when there's no clouds to get in the way). Science. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2041111754?t=6h52m57s

grimm_cynicism @PirateSoftware Okay okay but, what if my main skill is "Raining on everyone's parade"? I'm very good at poking holes in people's plans and ideas, but it's not malicious - I just want everyone to have the best ideas possible. What's a good spot for me in the industry & how would you recommend I begin getting there? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2041111754?t=7h26m46s

BoulevardTCG Hey Thor, I'm sure you heard about Riot Games last night. I'm the main broadcast talent for LoR which they're refocusing to PVE, which likely means no more broadcasts. I was wondering if you had any advice for how to move on to another game in such a niche position or if there's a more stable role within games you think this could translate to. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2041111754?t=7h28m04s

#

MacDaAce Thor, Thank you so much for for everything you do for the game dev community. I am a part of a team making a game right now and we are considering if we want to go early access or not. This is our first game and we don't want the bad stigma from the "This is an early access game." reviews. I have a plan to have a clear roadmap and to stay transparent with our community throughout Early access, but I would be interested on your thoughts on how a team can overcome Early Access stigmas. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2041111754?t=7h37m08s

PkmUmbreon I'm having a problem feeling a bit lost. I started my cybersecurity journey by studying the try hack me boxes on their site. Then hack the box bug bounty hunter cert path. Now I'm studying for my pentest+ cert that my current IT Ops job will pay for once I pass. My goal is to be able to do bug bounties and pay off some debt that I racked up from my early 20s, I'm 27 now and then eventually work for myself doing bug bounties. I feel like I'm not making much progress toward that goal. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2041111754?t=9h38m24s

RefractalStudios yarrCheer500 Hi Thor, I've made the mistake of going with an ambitious game as my first and I'm wondering if in your opinion I should 1. Commit for years to make it good 2. Polish what I have and move on within the year or 3. work on smaller projects and periodically return to this game to build it over time? It's Broad Sword on steam for reference. It's been a refreshing change of pace to participate in the jam and looking forward to seeing what everyone made! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2041111754?t=9h42m08s

TheGandalf Hey PirateSoftware. I'm actually a recent game design grad from a (probably) well known uni. Also handle massive mental health issues, No idea how I even got through uni, in the coofing days too. Huge burnout after graduation. Motivation is at such a premium for me. It's hard for me to start my next project but you've been part of what's got me up to finally start again. I think my portfolio is bad but I'm my own bad critic. Hope to get hired one day. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2041111754?t=9h59m16s

KosstAmojan Well Thor, it’s not a game, but I made something. The motive: Mix It Up lets u control XSplit when streaming, but unlike for OBS, functionality is limited & development was discontinued. My solution: a micro-API for Mix It Up to call via web requests as a workaround. Took 2 weeks to learn Node, Express JS, asynchronous programming, & WebSockets, but it works & I'm stupidly proud of it. Thanks for the confidence to tackle this project. Enjoy your bits. yarrCheer500 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2042066792?t=0h56m54s

sparetime_gamer yarrCheer500 Good Morning Thor, hope you are well. Unfortunately my superior hit me in the gut yesterday with 2 warning strikes. after asking for exact examples i just got told "i know what for" and avoiding my request. Of course as a employee i was devastated and i have a serious lack of trust now. im thinking about quitting the company, but dont know how to prep for it while avoiding a third strike which would leave me with a serious black mark https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2043974861?t=2h14m43s

Fa771n9 Hey Thor! The day is upon us! I'm going to be coding the s out of my game today, but won't have much to show for! Not easy for a solo dev with a full-time job. I have learned so much though, and had loads of fun. Something I wouldn't have accomplished without this Jam. So thank you, you are awesome! Can't wait for the next Jam. And chat, can I maybe get a 7 or three? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2043974861?t=2h19m04s

TheCzechmark Hey Thor, Thank you for being a part of my morning routine. You inspire me to be the best Game Dev I can be. I am currently working on a 2D Rage Platformer called "Is The Floor Lava?". Based on The Floor is Lava, but you don't know where the lava is. My goal is to make 6 games in 3 years, as I want to get my games out there and learn to improve game to game. Is there any advice you have for me to achieve this ambitious goal? Thank you again for being awesome! The Czechmark! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2043974861?t=2h20m11s

redbullroyalty Hey Thor! I just won an important battle against cancer yesterday. Lost an organ, but it's worth it in the end.

Thank you for your unwaivering positivity! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2043974861?t=2h21m35s

Hpf3 yarrCheer500 i won't be able to finish my game sadly as i am still missing some major core aspects, should i still submit my GDD and dev level? i wouldn't consider it a game yet, but it runs. remember everyone, don't get distracted writing an xml level importer and validator, or configuring home assistant to auto play the stream on the tv. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2043974861?t=2h23m16s

Merdrach yarrCheer500 Hey thor, the other day I said I liked helping people workshop and build their ideas into something better, and then you told me I smell like a producer. I thought it through and I'm not sure it's quite right - I don't think I love meetings enough for it to be the ideal... In my day job I'm a technical troubleshooter and second pair of eyes. Kind of like a human rubber duck. Problem solving brings me joy. Is producer right for me, or is there a different gamedev role I should try? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2043974861?t=2h28m04s

#

weimaraner_doofus Hi. I have my first graduate role interview coming up mid February and I wondered if you had any words of encouragement, wisdom or advice for me. I'm nervous especially as I'm a woman with ADHD going into a male dominated field- (finance). It's an informal day of networking, problem solving and meeting the team, I'm so nervous! I've been loving the streams, thanks for making them so accessible to people not in the gaming industry. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2043974861?t=2h44m43s

sonkomagnus Hey J-Dog. Jimbo here. We've been watching you playing pokémon for money and we are concerned. We know you left the oil company after the incident, but who didn'T crash a tanker and spill a million barrels of oil into the sea once or twice?

LKSeyren Hi! Found your channel and i think it's super interesting! I wanted to ask you, do you know why a lot of games do not provide support for Dualshock/Playstation controllers on PC? Is it out of lazyness or is there some sort of issue with copyright or the icons, or perhaps there's more to it? Have a good day! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2043974861?t=4h01m58s

ImJustSpirit yarrCheer436 yarrCheer64 Hey Thor, after entering and not completing a couple of Jams, we're very close to submitting for this one! One worry is how much of a prototype it is. While you said it should be a prototype (which made us less strict on ourselves) the game still feels increadibly bare. My question is, hen it comes to an initial prototype, what should be prioritised being implemented and created and what should be left on the GDD for later? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2043974861?t=4h42m32s

rayvnplays yarrCheer500 Hello Thor. Do you know much about Apple's biometric security, specifically Face ID? According to Apple, Face ID data is stored locally, and the encryption key is only available in the Secure Enclave. Would this mean there is minimal risk of biometric harvesting? I would like to convince a relative that it is much more secure than their 4 digit pin, and it does not sacrifice privacy if that is actually the case. yarrHeart https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2045003581?t=0h36m04s

Selterboy Good morning, everybody. I want to say thank you to you and your community for being inspirational and welcoming to everyone. I originally wanted to participate in the game jam by developing my first game, but I couldn’t due to mental health problems I’ve had since my mother had a heart attack six years ago when I was 15. She’s been in a coma since. Remember to visit, or at least call, your family, folks. You may have less time with them left than you think. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2045003581?t=2h20m09s

eccentric_node Bro, your youtube shorts, weirdly, always pop up before bed time. Every time you say, "just go make things" it hits home.

The reason is because I always hear your voice in my head "just go make things." Thanks for the inspiration https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2045003581?t=3h29m26s

RegentRimmy When you wake up really early on the weekend and can't go back to sleep. Guess it's time to learn game programming. Now for the actual question. Thor Would you consider gamemaker a good starting software for making games? I want to make a puzzle game with a variety of puzzles inspired from CrossCode. Great game btw. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2045003581?t=3h57m10s

its_LDJ yarrCheer510 Good afternoon Thor, and hello to the wigglers. I discovered that the unknown 2.4ghz item was my phone.

mr_smchik Hey, Thor! Enjoy your content, thank you! Q: As an Android dev with 7 years of experience, recently laid off, I'm keen on STALKER 2's progress and its repeated delays. Passionate about this game, I see an opportunity to contribute. My skills, particularly in software development and understanding of math, could be an asset, possibly improving aspects like bug reporting. Any advice for someone eager to join a project like this? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2045003581?t=4h50m03s

knoxjamesus unfortunately wasn't able to submit for the jam on time (too much indecision and scope creep for a first game project and started late) but am now focused to finish the potato game idea I started and get my Fart Hotel released on Steam. Was a great chance to learn, diagnose random errors, even if very basic things, it has been very similar to my other dev learning. Can't wait to make more games and learn more. Also, I'll be back for the next jam yarrCult yarrBongos https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2045003581?t=4h53m58s

Tierrva_Nightblood Hi Thor, I am a forever DM of 5th edition D&D. As such I have amassed a large collection of books. I want to be able to give access to the Spells, Subclasses, and Races from these books to my players and I don't know the best way of doing it. I am currently setting it up in Google spreadsheet and want to know if there is a better way of conveying the info. (these are mostly 3rd party books such as kobold press books or books from Kickstarter) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2045003581?t=4h55m02s

FRAGALICIOUS Hey Thor. I work as a level designer at a game studio in the UK and really love it but the designer in me always has an idea to try out and I've been using your website to begin the process of putting together my next game, it really is a great resource and I'm hyped to keep creating outside my specialization.

shtung Hey Thor. Yesterday I was at the Home Depot and saw your dad replacing all USB drives on the shelves with floppy disks with "Heartbound Demo" written on it. When I tried to call him out on it and mention that the demo is free, he threw several rolls of $50 price tags at me, then casted "Invisibility" at 2nd level. As I was recovering from a surprise attack, out of nowhere the voice whispered to me "Stay frosty and buy the demo." https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2045003581?t=6h36m44s

happy4534 Every artist trains themselves on stolen art from other artists without payment or credit, nobody ever protests against that. Why should A.I. generated art pay artists to train when artists never do the same? Why is it okay for artists to steal art, yet a machine doing the same thing is looked down upon? Artists complaining about AI doing the same thing they do is just hypocrisy and they're only reacting this way because they fear of being replaced. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2045003581?t=7h30m29s

I'll often focus on something for an in-consistent period of time, then forget about it entirely and move onto something else. I personally feel this has made me mediocre at a lot but good at nothing. Thoughts? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2046048070?t=5h21m06s

#

Caedous G'day Thor. Just wanted to say thank you so much for your content. I'm currently in third year of software engineering at university and feel as though I've not really absorbed any of the content. I'm worried that when it inevitably comes time to look for a job and start interviewing I will bomb. Outside of just making things and doing exercises outside of university content is there anything else I can do to feel more confident in my skills? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2046048070?t=5h24m14s

cutemoonrose hi, I'm the baker from a while ago, had to quit because my bosy couldn't keep up with 50# bags of flour. I'm a trainer in a call center now, and one of the first two shorts I ever saw of yours was the one about needing to refresh training regularly to prevent complacency. You put into words what had been stewing in my brain and pushed me to go to my boss, She's totally onboard. also, you make me miss coding. I was an m s s q l programmer a couple decades ago https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2046048070?t=5h32m28s

LadyMagus I stumbled upon you via YouTube shorts. I am not a game developer, how ever you helped me more in my workspace, I've been watching you everyday since. Thank you for helping make a decision to change my career and know that it's okay to fail. I am going for an asset protection job currently and I am excited to finally be able to use my tech skills. It's not an awesome job, but you helped me say yes to go. So I thank you. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2046048070?t=5h44m34s

Khadgart Good Morning, Thor. Im new to your channel as of last week. I think its really cool what you do! My team has a game we have been working on for years and excited to release the demo during Steam Next Fest in February. How would you recommend promoting it? I am in my mid 30s and suck with social media haha...Thanks for what youre doing with the community, it's very inspiring. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2046048070?t=5h48m47s

Scott Rauch a few days ago, someone asked about "love" games and you said something along the lines of they're fine but expect more people returning the game after playing. so why do you think "love" is more taboo than things like murder, theft, drug use, etc. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2046048070?t=5h53m24s

Xander_G7 I've been designing stream games for my chat to play on stream via commands. but I was told that they are too complicated to understand.

AdorkablyAutumn Good morning you beautiful man. Do you have any tips for making some quick, honestly earned, cash? My job is two paychecks behind and I'm currently looking for new work. In the meantime if there is something I can do on the side to help pay my mortgage or put groceries in my house, that would be great. I'm not looking to make a lot.

Oltamazo yarrCheer500 Morning Thor. Have you ever heard of the game Freespace 2? Released in 1999 by Interplay and Volition it is one of the best space-dogfighting games ever made. In 2002, due to a licensing dispute, Volition released the entire source code (C++) engine, and dev toolkit to the internet, and has been kept alive and modernized for the last 22 years by a small dedicated community. It is on Steam and G.O.G but it requires the Freespace 2 Source Code Project to make it work on modern comptrs https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2047011097?t=0h29m13s

rexatron2005 yarrCheer500 Well met mighty Thor I joined the jam early but never submitted I get that the point of the jam was for people to learn / start as game dev but for me it weirdly had the opposite effect in an entirely positive way The idea of the jam and a potential $30,000 prize made me think and I realized that starting up as a serious game dev wasn’t what I wanted This turned out to be a good thing as I am not only back to coding for fun I am also exploring new options I never thought possible https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2047011097?t=0h50m45s

Fae_viking_princess Hey, Federal Bird Inspector again, real quick just want to get the record straight. Centaurs are not insects. Insects have three pairs of LEGS and are invertebrate, usually with one or two pairs of wings. No, through my studies I have come to the conclusion they are a colony of microscopic gastropod molluscs. Their fur is actually an hardened oily secretion. And now that's an image you can't get out of your mind. That was a gift, for the chat. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2047011097?t=0h52m29s

I released an Android game a couple months ago ("Grappling Duck" if you want to have a look) which stopped getting downloads after the first week.

MoulOz Hey Thor! Love your stream! I have a question: As it is a bit different to get into the Gaming industry at the moment (with all the layoffs and stuff), would you recommend any other adjacent industries to the gaming industry (some group of companies maybe) to help the transition? Is there a "list" or something of "affiliate" companies out there? I am a Data Scientist / ML Engineer, so looking into how my skillset could apply... Thanks! And good job again! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2047011097?t=5h27m54s

Temperay I have become a developer for a video platform company about 6 months ago. I'm working with Python and Golang. I haven't done a comp sci degree.

What should my main focus be? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2047011097?t=5h39m00s

sonkomagnus Hi Thor. You are the smartest person I know. This says a lot about me, but that besides the point. I have dreamed that there was a Duke Nukem movie in the 90s starring Dolph Lundgren. Can you please invent time travel to alternate timelines so I can live out this perfect version of history? I'm pretty sure this would also mean that Harambe would be still alive.

But I've felt that I haven't improved as much as I wanted. My supervisor is not very helpful when giving critiques and I don't have co-workers who do the same kind of work, so I can't ask for guidance to be able to grow further, I feel stuck.

CodeExorcist yarrCheer500 Getting back to streaming after a long break. Decided to go at it as a Vtuber this time to take advantage of Unreal Engine skills I learned throught the years in the industry. One thing I ain't sure is if I should stream primarly game dev or gameplay. When I streamed game dev I worked way slower and working off stream + on stream + 9-5 seems like a bit much, so I thought gameplay would be smarter choice, although I expect less people to be interested in that. What should I do? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2047941352?t=4h34m15s

Im a little shocked tbh and the imposter syndrome begins. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2047941352?t=5h55m12s

sonkomagnus Oi J-Dog, Lucky here from the oil rig. I have bad news. After your denial, Skeeter OD'd last night. His last words were "I wish I was good enough for big J. Goodbye crude world". The Fracking Five is no more. They might call you Drill Bill for all the cash you made, but we'll always call you Jason the Betrayer.Skeeter was burned at the methane flare,the Petroleum Patrol saluting him. He pumped his last jack. I hope the pokémon money was worth it J-dog https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2047941352?t=5h58m38s

Rozzelcopter yarrCheer500 Hey Thor, I'm having trouble coming up with ideas on how a resumé would look when applying for a gaming position when I have no experience.

Also, when do you suggest trademarking a name for your group/studio that makes games so others don't try and steal that name from under you? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2047941352?t=6h19m35s

Nospimi99 yarrCheer500 Staring at big blocks of text makes my brain just turn off, let alone blocks of characters and symbols, so I started learning UE5 about six months ago since it has blueprint coding. I want to learn some Unity and Godot so I’m not shoehorned into one engine and also they seem better suited for solo dev projects. Do other engines have an option to visually code that’s similar to blueprint? Or am I just kinda fucked in that regard and will be forced to learn some t coding? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2047941352?t=6h26m29s

ConditionallyTriggered Hi Thor. I have scoped down from Unreal to Godot since I realised after a few months of diving into Unreal Engine that I was reaching a bit too far as a brand new dev with literally no coding experience or knowledge.

cramlul Hi Thor I had a bit of a lengthy question for you. I currently am looking for new work but I'm not sure if I have a bad rap because I had to resign due to missing 3 days of work due to mental health issues. I'm afraid I might never get another decent paying job due to the one I had no panning out. I'm afraid of having to work less than what I'm worth. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2047941352?t=7h40m41s

Queen_An Hey, Thor! Currently making a game demo, and not sure how it should end. Conventional wisdom is to end media on something unresolved to get the audience to "tune in next time". However, I feel very turned off when tv shows, for example, do this because it feels manipulative. I'd rather end on a satisfying note, and use that to imply more satisfying moments would be in the full game. What's your take on this from a business perspective? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2047941352?t=7h44m32s

I'm dealing with a boss at work who keeps saying "I want to put you up for promo", but then doesn't and says "we are missing XYZ for the packet."

I have no clue what to do about this, other than call my boss out on his lie. Advice? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2047941352?t=8h05m06s

I learned important lessons and I made a lot of stuff in only 2 weeks. I focus on modeling and texturing, but I brushed up on rigging and animation, and now I love those too, I feel like Neo having another martial art shoved in his head.

grimm_cynicism The machine is my temple. Each one a sacred shrine. I name each piston blessed, and every gear divine. O, to stride with giants into the crucible of war! Blessed is he who guides this blessed machine, trusted is he who carries the sacred wafer, it's holy writ brings salvation and destruction, the word of the Omnissiah that brings all dooms. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2050779455?t=1h00m43s

grimm_cynicism There is no truth in flesh, only betrayal. There is no strength in flesh, only weakness. There is no constancy in flesh, only decay. There is no certainty in flesh but death. Praise the Omnissiah! Praise the Motive Force! Praise the Machine God! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2050779455?t=1h12m05s

Kirdow I want to apologise for my cheer in the last stream. I started by thanking you for inspiring me to create great things, but sadly my brain took a u turn and ended up burgering you in the name of your first name. Made me feel bad afterwards and I want you to know I felt bad about it since. I do genuinely appreciate the work you put in though. Thanks Thor. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2050779455?t=1h13m14s

GameOverloads Hello Thor! I just redid the entire first model of my game as it had some issues! However, I did it in only a night compared to 3 days! Now to rehandle the materials and UVs, and then I can use it to test more things for my game..like unit sizes for example. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2050779455?t=1h14m04s

ArakATK Good morning Goblin Queen Thor, I wanted to know, are there hidden paths through rooms in Heart Bound that you're excited and anxious for people to see, like a personal favorite we just haven't found, or are they all your favorite baby? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2050779455?t=1h36m07s

Kalbi_Ralalbi Hey Thor. I would like to ask how you manage feature creep. I have this RPG series planned out, with 4 little games detailing the history of the world, before I tackle the bigger project. However, even though I told myself to keep them simple so I could learn, I keep adding more to the point I am overwhelmed, and keep scraping the prototypes. Do you have any suggestions to help me? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2050779455?t=1h36m43s
