 As some of you may know by now, Bracky's has uploaded his goodbye video two hours ago as of recording this video. I kind of wanted to talk about it and make a video directly thanking him and his community and all of his subscribers. And I just wanted to give my opinion and my expression about his goodbye message. Obviously it's sad to see him go, but as he said, all good things come to an end. At the end of the day, we have to respect his decision to stop making videos and hope for other exciting things to come. When good things come to an end, generally hopefully this will happen to him, but sometimes better things come in the long term. So if you haven't watched this video, I'll kind of summarize it. Basically he's done making videos for now, he's been doing this for eight years and he's kind of just wanted to move on. He wanted to take a break from game development as in general and focus on his personal life, his family life and honestly just take a vacation and eventually work on his own side projects because he's been uploading videos every Sunday for the past eight years. That's crazy if you think about it. I try to make videos almost every day and it's very stressful so I can only imagine how much workload it is for him, especially for his high quality videos. He's has been my biggest motivation ever since I've watched his videos and it also just in game development in general and when it comes to making videos and being here every day to see his channel grow and see his amazing content and watch some of his videos really brings joy and motivation into what I've made so far and for the videos I've made so far because I know I have lots of growth to make and I've always wanted to become Brackeys or not only become Brackeys but at least like I don't really know how to I really don't know how to say this but like get to his level of skill I guess because he has so much skill. He's very talented. Brackeys is a very talented person and I love his channel and I honestly wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him and I give all 100% credit for everything I've ever done to Brackeys for being able to grab my interest into this field. Brackeys is very unique. His personality in every video is clearly visible and it makes watching his videos such a personal experience and to have that connection since I was starting watching him which was like four years ago I guess is gone and makes me feel pretty sad. If you guys haven't watched Brackeys before I don't know what you're missing out but make sure you go watch some of his videos because they're really entertaining and he brings a lot of personality and joy to his videos as well as they're extremely educational except for the game jams obviously they're not really like tutorials but they're still entertaining and they bring in a lot of personality regardless of what type of video it is or not but generally it's okay. We all have to move on at some point and I understand his perspective to take a break or at least stop making videos and I respect his decision and I perfectly understand and I wish him the best of luck for his personal life and the side projects he may work on in the future. So I wanted to share the first videos I've actually ever watched from him and that would be how to make a survival game. Surprised or not I think that's just one of those kind of subjects that people really want to jump in on or like the first person shooters they're like oh I really want to make this really cool badass game with really cool concepts that will completely dominate the market. It's not that easy obviously. It's a lot of work modeling physics there's just so much going on and so much to learn and honestly this series really helps me kind of figure out the general system and I haven't watched this video in four years I honestly might give it another shot sometime in the future if I ever wanted to try making a 3D game because I'm really a 2D person. This was the first series that I started and this was when I only had a Mac and when I started trying to game develop all my Mac I have so many memories when it comes to making this I just remember sitting on my desk I remember going to places working on this tutorial series and I remember I was very confused when weird stuff would happen I just remember that it was just such a such a great experience even if I don't really remember exactly what I learned from the series like it's but like what to do specifically I still took that experience and motivated myself to try and learn something new and try to make something of my own and also continue to watch his videos and so on. So I wanted to give a personal message to all you viewers out there who are making a game and are also sad to see Bracky's go. Never give up just because Bracky's is not going to make any more videos ago it doesn't mean that all these videos will go all these videos will remain in place he isn't going to delete anything his forums will stay his discord server will stay and his active community his staff all the people that help some of you out in the programming channel on his discord server will still be there to help you people will help each other and people will continue to help each other and that's just the kind of community that has been developed over time very helpful friendly and social and active community and I feel like that won't go at least for a very long time and there's also other places to learn something new to Bracky's is one of my favorite sources but there's also some other YouTube channels that you can find some stuff to and I also make videos to you can find a bunch of forums online stack stack overflows a really good place the unity forms you'll find so many places to learn something new and also if you needed some if you also needed assistance on like errors and stuff Google is your friend so I just want in this video with a thank you for everyone if you're a Bracky subscriber thank you for being such a great community and creating this great environment that we have today Bracky's this one's for you but thank you thank you for all amazing videos you've ever made thank you for making some of the best educational videos out there when it comes to programming and game development while bringing your amazing personality into the videos you're awesome and I wish you the best of luck you will be missed by me and all your subscribers thank you and in case some of you are wondering why I'm not subscribed it's because I'm logged into my school account right now I'm currently at my off period for my virtual zoom calls so that's and I thought this would be a good time of the day to make this video since this video just came out recently but yeah if you're wondering why I'm not subscribed it's because I'm logged to my school account I'm not allowed to subscribe or interact with like like the liking videos and all that stuff
