Today I made my first game in Java using it's built in functions. Let's see what sort of game I can make with no Java experience.

I've been wanting to create a game without an engine for some time now. Specifically the Java programming language because it has been used to create some of my favorite games like Runescape and Minecraft. If you're wondering "How to Make a Game in Java?" or better yet "How Easy is Java to Use" then you were on the same page as me. Hence why this video exists.

Make sure to grab yourself a cup of java and don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE! ☕

Finally somebody who loves Java Idk why its so hated java tooling nowadays is so simple the code writes itself, no need to manually write getters and setters

as someone who exclusively programs in java and scratch, I see the new direction this channel has gone as an absolute win.

Honestly I would watch the whole coding process unedited. This was a ton of fun to watch I've always wanted to do the same kind of game.

Saying No Experience is a little bit of a misnomer, you do have some experience with programming which is a massive assistance since programming logic is pretty universal...

I started out coding by learning java. I tried to learn it around 4 times before I finally understood something, so I really resonated with you getting frustrated with it early on. Super difficult language, but really worth to learn in the long run.

WOW, Java??? My game called "Crazy Airplane" on my channel was made in pure vanilla Java! Java was one of my first programming languages. It was one of my favorite times of learning game development. One could do a lot in Java's purest form. And once one could program in Java, other language C, JavaScript, C# all becomes like the same thing.

LOL you were a child in 2010, that's crazy. Best of luck, young man, you go get 'em, lad. So inexperienced and fresh to this world.

please make more content on I always love you devlogs and I also love retro RPGs, so this is like putting them together!

[Jzab]

I've been learning Java lately and I gotta tell that your video is so inspiring. Makes me fell like I wanna create cool projects myself.

[ReasonMakes]

So fun to get to experience your little world of indie dev and see the progress you managed to make. Developing without an engine is hard!

Java was the language I was taught at uni, and I got my first job as a mobile software developer writing almost exclusively in it for years. I eventually switched to working in C# and .NET, but I can see why you enjoy Java, and I'll admit it can be a lot of fun to make things in. Your RPG looks super cute and clean, and I can't wait to see what you build with this in the future. Just don't get too distracted, I *need* to play Dewdrop Dynasty! (but once you've done that, I'd would love to see what you could make using Pico-8!)

[HeyIts_Blocky]

i actually make all my games with java! it's super cool to see someone else trying it out (especially without using lwjgl), and even cooler to see them like it enough to keep making something in it! i'm super excited to see what you make

[alizn]

just tried the dewdrop demo yesterday, very excited for the full game :D

[Neuroszima]

Dude that is insane. Sooo many soooo simple ideas. I really love it. Great video, refreshing after watching countless game showcases made in big engines or pygame

[SweetTea]

It might just be me but I liked the vector art style more. It seemed more unique and unlike what you said it’s more charming

[minutesock]

This is great, would love to see more episodes on this game developed in java.

In case you aren't aware, kotlin is an interopable language with java and is a very satisfying, elegant language to use.

You should give kotlin a go sometime, heck you could even decide to just write one or two classes in kotlin, the rest of your game be java and it all will still work great.

3:22 Dude! Don't use strings for states! That's what ENUMs are for!

[BigBouncyBanana]

yo very epicc!!! this makes me real tempted to start learnign java lol i would like to see more of this, and it could make for a really cool series :))

[Grayson]

It’s really cool to see stuff like this. It reminds me of how I started making games: in html with my dad
