I actually love this type content, it would be great to hear more about this kind of actual product development. Ben is one of the few developers who actually create something with programming and not just talking about architecture, clean code and shit
It's cool that you founded your own team and are trying to break into the mobile game market; in which I wish you good luck! I remember watching your videos years ago and it's great to see that you're still uploading. It's also crazy how vastly different the paths are that you and Nick White ended up taking.
Good to know about the react profiler. I use Zustand in my project too and I know it is causing unnecessary rerenders everywhere. Not a huge issue right now but nice to know there is a tool to deal with it.
Wait, what? I actually use Zustand to fix the "unnecessary rerenders everywhere". You are probably watching/consuming the whole state (instead of just the parts you need) or use it somewhere higher in the tree which causes your rerenders in the children components, no?
super impressed by your guys' work, its surprisingly pretty game-like, just please get some less generic sounding music, sounds like im stuck in an ad and the transitions between tracks or the same tracks are a little jarring
actually interested in this, most "game" like thing ive made in React was a networked Rock Paper Scissors game. I always wondered what a larger scale game would look like
Linda's book looks very interesting, over 300+ pages of lore! She is very talented, much like yourself with programming. Congrats on the new game, hope you continue to find success! I hate mobile gaming, but I'll install any game from Ben and his team!
I'm building a react game too, it's with my backend friend. and for real, it looks same like this and works same, with various of rewards and gameplay and points. premium/coin/gems. I thought it's quite common to make a game because it felt easy when I coded. I never did an internship or anything. it's the first app of my life. a game. first real-life project.
As a Unity dev, I remember first reading the React docs and being like, “Whoa, you could make pretty complex games with this!”. I wish there were more resources for learning game dev with React, React Native, TypeScript etc.
Funny how I developped my first game last month using react & rive, thinking to myself this stack & DX is actually awesome and wondering why more devs arent leaning towards rive + react workflows
You know what, u finally built a project, sticked to it and made it successful unlike ur other projects where you abandoned them halfway Still, for a game Flutter flame is better choice than react-native anyday. But I understand when you were building voidpet, there was no game engine for Flutter
Your game looks very good however its similarly p2w to raid shadow legends maybe even more, which completely ruins my feeling and not gonna play like that
The guy who shows up once in a blue moon, announces something and then dissappears for eternity xD
The Avatar 😂
If you like, I'm sure, it's easier for him to not show up at all. Personally, I'm grateful.
He'll drop a 13 hour tutorial next
😂
He knows you don’t deserve him
Most game devs use Unity or Unreal, but Ben is just a chill guy who made a game in React Native
me too.
It's a turn based app so it doesn't need to be hyper fast using dedicated Game engine
Hell yeah, let's go Big Ben
small ben
whats up navdeep

Mad respect for building a game with React Native! Impressive!
I love Ben. He doesn't get stuck in the hell of picking the right tech for the job, he simply builds what he wants, with the thing he knows well.
Up for recording a podcast episode next year Ben? Love your apps ✌️
Sure
Dude, this is so sick. You are a legend of YT tech content.
So nice seeing Ben again on my feed

ben is running his company on svgs, react native and crazy figma people
Cool game, but a mental health app and lootbox and sketchy mobile game reward mechanics kind of seem like opposites though?
the mental health angle is just a trap , are you new here or something ?
If you want mental health then go outside and talk to people.
Good job getting this project off the ground. I hope it will be a success 🙏
The vocal fry is crazy
couldn't listen for more than 5 mins tbh

oh he's alive
😆
we're so back
super impressed by your guys' work, its surprisingly pretty game-like, just please get some less generic sounding music, sounds like im stuck in an ad and the transitions between tracks or the same tracks are a little jarring
I'm new to your content, and this project looks awesome. What stack did you use to build your app?
actually interested in this, most "game" like thing ive made in React was a networked Rock Paper Scissors game. I always wondered what a larger scale game would look like
This actually inspired me to restart work in my game to add in animations.

Is it possible to use React Native and C# Unity "together" to create powerful mobile games?
You are unity dev so I'm asking you please help.
Ben has posted. The world is finally healing.
Using react native is just wild, time to decompile and take a look ❤
Any plans on creating a Web development course Ben ?
Finally you found your UA-cam password.
What is the #1 book?
Would you go React Native again if you had to start from scratch?
would be nice to upload a video without a screen recorder, because I can't understand if the game runs smooth at all due to the recording lag.
How many devs are you in the team Ben ?
Well done for the work, you and your team
Hey ben. Can you create a video about...
"How we can truly learn and understand programming and make progress with practicing a certain toolset"
Thats awesome, I've been making a trading game for my friends and I with react native
Funny how I developped my first game last month using react & rive, thinking to myself this stack & DX is actually awesome and wondering why more devs arent leaning towards rive + react workflows
Nice seeing you again. See you next year
I wonder if it would have been easier to learn the game engine and use all the built ins that come with Unity
Do Business Side of Void-pet.
Whats has it been like? I think that would be super fun
I'm wondering if the new expo "use dom" would work for some of the animations?
why didn't you use flutter flame
for having better performance , wouldnt the flutter framework be better for this usecase ?
Chill guy doing chill things
first, also nice to see your still active
I did work in a react native project before that loaded unity apps and have a bridge API for communication
Apart from Hands of Greed, what's your top 3 fantasy books?
This void pet arc is mad. I thought it would have died years ago
Do you think the react compiler in react 19 will help with performance automatically going forward?
Good to see a new Ben video. Feels like a time skip arc just happened
With React Native JSI and React compiler the game will be even more performant.
Are you using expo development builds?
hey ben i was wondering if u can make a video om react native vs flutter vs native. For chat, ecommerce apps is react native the best choice?
so whats your favorite book
then? we need to know
I see you're now on the Devon Crawford posting schedule!
Is there a difference using lotties vs svg? And did you use Expo?
Oh, yeah, I'm subbed to this guy.
Babe wake up Ben posted
good job mr awad!
Curious to know what database are you using?
Amazing work and update
so we're not getting any tutorials anytime soon?
all yours big bro 🙌
I'm a web developer who jumped into Godot. Easiest thing ever. Game engines are sick.
This is really cool
cool game but i think it need more animations especially for the fighting scenes
We want regular videos
actually impressive.
I know the shower after this video felt good lol
Ben we want you to code in latest version of Next.js
That boy Ben aw yeah
Lovely!
Love react native!!
But Why... Why would you not just do this in unity...
This reminds me of Adventure Quest, ngl
good insights thanks
Why did you even decided to put so much effort into such a game?
💰
Keep golden hammering and someday you'll write a 3D application in React Native ; )
dude why didnt u announce you got 800k in funding. congrats just found out about that
You know what, u finally built a project, sticked to it and made it successful unlike ur other projects where you abandoned them halfway
Still, for a game Flutter flame is better choice than react-native anyday. But I understand when you were building voidpet, there was no game engine for Flutter
You are alive.
This is insane
🐐
Time to start using the minoxidil+finasteride combo Ben. Just monitor your resting heart rate as minox tends to up the pulse
Bro finally remembered his yt password 😂
🔥 🔥 🔥
oh you’re alive?
please make new tutorials about react, react native
does that mean react native games is not optimised for android lol
We need more videos
excellet,but you look like jared leto smart(no hate)
“Doesn’t work on Android” is a typical RN experience
Ben really npm serve --face today
Finally happening
Hey someone else who makes games with JS/TS!
now... ...are your eyebrows real?
yo
Hey look it's me
nice
at this point just make a react native game engine
Your game looks very good however its similarly p2w to raid shadow legends maybe even more, which completely ruins my feeling and not gonna play like that
Looks like 10000 other games...
This looks like a worse version of Raid Shadow legends / Pokemon. And to say it is a Mental Health app is crazy
!!!!!!!!
