    You're clearly doing something right considering youtube thinks you're playing half life 2 😂

    The day you come out with an SDK for Chisel is a day I and hopefully many others will celebrate! The work you've done (and are still doing) is such an inspiration.

    man, as a multimedia artist myself it's really inspiring to see someone else doing all the same things i'm interested in and succeeding

    As someone who loves the Quake-Source linage of engines, as well as making my own, this series scratches such an itch for me, and is quite motivating for my own projects!

    I appreciate the personal side to your storytelling. I clicked on this video looking for Source-engine-flavoured background noise but ended up finding it uplifting. Thank you.

    I can already tell from the movement alone you’re inching closer and closer to the Source Engine feel. I wish you the best and I truly understand that sentiment of the project you’re working on feeling like the only positive momentum in a rather difficult set of circumstances… not long ago I myself had been working on a pipe dream of a Game project. My programmer fell through and what little I understood and could make myself slowly began to stagnate into ultimately realizing that I wasn’t “making a game” I was slapping a bunch of my art into an engine and hoping it would somehow be enough to keep momentum… following that was one of the biggest and hardest life changes I ever experienced… I went from having zero hope for a few years to eventually having the courage to be hopeful again. My significant other is very supportive of my health conditions and she has even started learning to program with me and now we both share a dream of creating a small indie game. Both of us are huge Valve fans and we’ve love watching your journey and we relate to the behind the scenes more than you could know. Much love my friend and we’re excited to see your journey. Peace 🤍

    you know you're cooking good when your engine runs well on 2008 hardware
