yes it sure would be awesome to get to see some of the behind the scenes coding being put into this awesome game! :)

[morskipaskenny]

I can already say the game is playable in multiplayer... I know there ARE some bugs, like when a player stops moving, but that can be fixed... I would LOVE to see some kind of a "Behind the Scenes" videos in the future though :)

in my opinion you should jump a little bit when monster hit you. phisical interactive is very good, I think.

[joooordy]

Can't wait to see this game finished! Have a good holiday :)

[asdasfdfgewqgrgyjh]

I would love to see the day by day dev logs again. If that's what you where talking about at the end

[aggressivegeek]

I will be very interested in seeing more of the development of the game in the next dev log :-). Keep it up! :D

[ludmilgrigorov]

So cool :O That motivation that hit me with this video and cant wait untill your "actual process" videos :P :D .

[CJBurkey]

For the editors, you should set the look and feel to like the system default, or nimbus :3

[DemonicGaming]

Hope you've had a nice holiday! Quick question about the tutorial series - how do you add the snow effect? My game is going to be set in winter.

[felixmeyer]

You should add an pain animation
and i think that the player should get knockbacked away when he gets attacked!
And go on with your game, its
I deffintly buy it!

[MrLazini]

the _behind the scenes_ idea is very interesting and I think you *should* do something like that. Not necessarily with voice and deep explanations. Just a quick walk-through of you coding, maybe talking over it and having a video in the background of you speed-coding.

(By speed-coding I mean this: record while you code, then take that video and have them play in the background perhaps 2x speed)

[janssonjr]

Have you made the Socuwan Entity Editor program? It looks really cool

[serenetnt]

When you get back from vacation, could you show us some multiplayer stuff on the tutorial series!

[mrmaniac]

Hey thin, I was wondering if you could make a tutorial or even a text tutorial on how to export the game we have been making with openGL series thanks :)

[klukule]

Will you make tutorial about deferred rendering?

[jimil]

Amazing work mate I hope it all goes well for you :)
Where did you learn all this stuff?

[Jet-Pack]

I live in Germany..., which city are you going to visit? :)

[guy]

Hey ThinMatrix, is there any way to send an arraylist to the vertex shader.  I don't want to have to define how many lights should be used.

[niklavs]

are you planning on launching a beta server for testing anytime soon?

[Fadeycsgo]

Damn your game looks fun :D! How much will it cost?
