    Creating video games can be quite challenging, but with cool frameworks like Love2D, Roblox Studio, and Pico-8 using Lua is really easy. Lua is fantastic for beginners due to its user-friendly, powerful embeddable scripting language, and extensive community support that makes it accessible for those learning to program. And honestly, it's perfect for people who are asking the question "How to learn how to program?" or "How to make video games".

I bet it must take quite a bit of time to make these, but wouldn't be surprised if the novelty helps prevent burnout, etc. I'm always excited to see what project you're working on when a new Goodgis video pops up! :)

    As a lua dev, I LOVE lua and luau. I think that the amount of of software and love2d limitations are stupid. What I mean is how limited access lua is. I don't even know if you can open multiple windows with it. I am learning python but Lua will always be in my heart. I started game dev on roblox, using luau. Ever since I have been making scripts, but now I think it's time to move on and make python games from now on. Thanks for giving lua the love it deserves!
