ThinMatrix is the pioneer of including Meal Preps in his devlogs. I don't think he gets enough credit for such innovations. Prior to him, no was doing that before. Congrats, you are truly an inspiration.

I think I should be one of your earliest viewers. I come from China and when you first started publishing the video, I was still in college. I remember sending you an email and you replied to me in great detail, which has been very helpful to me. Now I am also a game developer

Happy Anniversary! What an achievement! 🎉 I cant believe it has been about 5 years since I found you and realized that that is what I want to do one day! On Monday I am going to pitch my indie game demo to a funding program (in Hamburg too, actually) and if I get in I want to use that as an opportunity to go game developing full time.

It's awesome that you want to start game development! If you have even a bad laptop you can begin your adventure (although it'll be frustrating) with coding and designing! If you don't have a laptop then you could try making a board game, i know it sounds a bit crazy but you can get help from art teachers at school and use card and the printers there to make a gameboard/characters/cards! Although I know you probably want to make a video game, if you start with a board game you'll find whether your true passion is the design/art of how it looks, or the functions of how your game works and the way different things may interact with eachother. Finally if you do computing/IT at your school then they'll likely have computers that can run python which is a simple programming language (they may even teach it to you the begginings in later years) so you can start learning to code so you have some experience when you eventually come to starting game development when you're older. Basically what I'm saying is speak to computing teachers/art teachers and start trying to make a game, you might find they help you start a club where you can better use the resources available, and have other people join in and help you with it! Good luck, and it can get difficult, just stick at it! @@ChaosDragon3401

I remember being a kid before I even had a KZread account, I was so excited hearing you were going full time and enjoying all the videos you were making at the time and was sad when the kickstarter didn’t work out.

I definitely remember! You've been around since the very early Socuwan days!

I don't know you or your work. Your story was very interesting and somehow moved me. But when reading the comments... dude, you achieved more I could ever hope for. Beyond klicks, numbers and success. These people down the comments and what they tell about you and your work and how grateful they are ...just WOW! This is huge

I've followed you through my uni days, and now as a full time worker in the game dev industry. I work at an AAA studio as an engine programmer, and I still go back to your original opengl videos to this day!

I used to watch your videos about making an engine in Java. I was so interested in game making but didn't know where to start so I accidentally stumbled on your videos. Haven't stopped watching ever since!

i ended up going into security engineering but your lwjgl series had a huge part in getting me interested in Java as a language when i started following it at 15! was also super helpful for Minecraft modding, but i pretty much stick to backend passion projects now

Haha it’s crazy how nostalgic those Socuwan videos are! Takes me back. That’s when I started following your channel. I still haven’t made my first full game yet but I will one day. Thanks for the continued inspiration and entertainment through your dev logs :)

Congrats for this 10 years! I've been watching your videos since 2014, and the way in what you make your videos is unique. Thanks!

I love how casually you were saying 'Unfortunatly there was some delays, I had oral cancer and had to go to hospital. Had to push back the release date, sorry guys :/'

Just finished the video and didnt realize its been so long since you started equilinox, you were a huge inspiration when i was younger that got me into coding/game dev and my current career. Keep on the journey and excited to see whats next!

You're a KZread devlog legend! You have absolutely earned that title. Damn, has it really been 10 years? I remember waiting for the next Socuwan devlog like it was yesterday. Wish you 10 more years of awesome devlogs and successful games!

This had me ugly crying. It's very inspirational, and I really needed it rn. Was feeling a little inspired about half way or so, but thinking "It'll be extra hard for me because I'm trying to make my own engine", and almost if on que, you mention how you used your own engine, and I broke into tears. Yesterday(technically 2 days ago, past midnight) I had my hearing with a judge for disability. Part of that, the strategist part of me broke, as I had to actually face the reality that I need help and can't get by in traditional pathways. Having to face that what was being said is actually evidence of my ability, and not just a clever way to get some starting cash. It hurt, far more than I could have expected. Hanging out virtually with a game dev friend, and this video, I think are reigniting my flame. So, thank you so much.

I know nothing of game development and have never watched these types of videos in my life. But as an avid gamer with a preference for the small team/single creator indie games, this has given me a whole new appreciation for the games I play.

been watching your videos since the Equilinox devlogs. this morning, I woke up way too early (2am) and I was feeling really, really nervous. trying to relax, I tried watching different videos from different creators, but the fast-paced style just freaked me out more and more. then I decided to watch your video. the relaxing style, it just simply helps. your videos are a breath of fresh air and I will forever be in debt to you

As a developer (web) who’s also more interested in engine development im still hoping for the day that you’ll make a video covering the process you personally follow for engine development. (What comes first ? Level editor ? What’s the underlying concept. Editing serializad data from the component properties? ) Until that day ever comes (if) I will continue to live vicariously through the little nuggets like this one. What a great video in general to cover the last decade.

Your LJWGL Tutorials were the Starting Point of me making Games. And it's also cool that you moved to the City I live in, I hope you like it here

I have never been so touched by an indie game developer’s journey like this. When talking about how the kickstarter failed made me tear up just because of how much love was poured into it. You deserve everything and more, keep up being an inspiration!

epic journey! I have a similar video with almost the same title on my channel lol. Glad you shared yours too!

I really hope Homegrown will do well! All of that is inspiring, I'm on the same situation right now as your early dev period with a project that I feel is ambitious but possible and I'm happy with what I can achieve even though I learn on the spot (I don't use my own engine and I have a Game Design Bachelor but It was awful). I really hope I can be as succesful as you with this project. I've been following you since a little while now and I've always liked the way you make your videos. Happy 10 years! 🎉

I started watching you a little after you started developing Equilinox. I was in boarding school at the moment and dreamt of developing games myself. Every wednesday evening at 22pm was ThinMatrix night. I would watch your devlog at that time every week before bed time because I simply found your life and progress so cool. Thank you for sharing, and what an incredible story!

I am proud of all you have accomplished!

You are the first game dev KZread I ever watched. You got me into the genre - and eventually into game development. Thank you for the years of content and how much of yourself and your time you give to your projects and audience.

You have been living my dream life. Brings me tears. I wanted to be a indie game dev, but now I am caught up in the corporate life

I actually really like the artstyle of Socuwan, I think honestly it being an MMO was way too ambitious, but you never stopped working on it until the kickstarter didn't go well. Would be super interested if you picked up Socuwan again but instead of being an MMO it could be something much smaller and more manageable, being a small RPG game with local LAN coop.

Man that's absolutely insane ! I had the same aspiration (a darned mmo) on the same timeframe (2012) and ended up following the exact same java tutorial (at the time I had some experience in modding Minecraft and I was finishing highschool)! You're the incarnation of that branch of me where I'd stick to game dev instead of going industrial, and it is amazing to see how far you've come ! Congratulations :)

I'm following you for quite some time now. I remember watching your LWJGL tutorial series and following along back when I was like 13 or 14 years old. And now I'm studying computer science. You've definitely been a huge inspiration. Actually you still are. Thanks for all your videos over the years. I don't remember a single video that I didn't enjoy.

Thanks to your OpenGL lectures 8 years ago, I am very happy now. Although we have never actually met, you were the best mentor in my life. Above all, the two things I was most grateful for are as follows: 1) I found out what I was passionate about. 2) I was able to build essential skills in parallel with theory. Following in your footsteps, I started developing indie games, and I am currently having a successful career as an indie game developer. I am experiencing firsthand that where there is passion, there is a future. Thank you again.

> They said I should use an engine, but I didn't really know what it meant, so I scrolled past them What an absolute legend

Thanks for making these videos for us to enjoy for so many years! Your hard work and dedication to each project has inspired so many of us, I know it has inspired me. I'm so excited every time I get a notification from this channel and I hope you keep making them a long time!

Happy 10 year anniversary TM! You are what got me into graphics programming with your lwjgl tutorials and equilinox devlogs, which I found I really really enjoy, so a big thanks from the bottom of my heart. Also hoping for another decade+ of banger videos!

I've starting following you with the first devlog of your city building game, and I didn't feel like you've done "only" 4 to 5 videos in 2020 and 2021. The reason why I love watching your videos is not because of the game you make : I don't plan to play to your gardening game Homegrown, yet I've watched every minutes of your devlogs. But the way you express yourself, we can hear that you truly love what you do, you have a very healthy lifestyle (mind, nutrition, taking care of your surroundings, planet, gardening, dog, etc.) and you are a true example of things we want to achieve in life. To me the most important will always be : What will be your thoughts in your death bed and who will you share them with ? And you won't remember your failed game and too ambitious projects, or at least if you do you'll have the same smile that you have recording this video. As someone who always starts too ambitious projects and can't post more than once every two years, you truly inspire me :)

I cant believe you almost single handedly created a commercial MMO with no GameDev experience prior while ALSO making your own engine... you must be a complete and utter genius!

Congrats and lets hope for another 10! 🎉

Huge Crongrats! I loved Equilinox, and love the progress on Homegrown so far. However I would love to play Socuwan one day, Maybe not actually „play“ it but you know, just checking it out. Afterall I saw most of your devlog videos on it, and just wanna try it out myself one day, it’s like nostalgia at that that point.

Great video! You're the main reason I got into game development and started making my own devlogs. Now I'm finally close to my first commercial release, I have you to thank for all the inspiration over the years!

Been subscribed since January 2015! Have you ever considered returning to the Socuwan idea, but not as an MMO? A singleplayer/co-op game in the Socuwan world would be pretty interesting, provided the story was good. Keep up the good work!

Ah the good old Socuwan days. I remember that I was kind of dissapointed back then because you started working on Equilinox. But in hindsight it was the better choice to work on a game with a smaller scope. Congratulations on 10 years!

I cannot recall how I found your channel, but I was very interested in your old LWJGL tutorial series. Your visuals and explanations were incredibly helpful, absolutely every line of code was clear. With a lot of programming and some for-fun game dev under my belt I was drawn into what's going on under the hood, and figured I'll try to make my own engine. Absolutely clueless. One of the best mistakes of my life, even though that hasn't really resulted in anything, I've gotten so much joy out of graphics programming, and the general knowledge of how 3D programming works has been invaluable. To this day I follow your content with endless curiosity to see what kinds of techniques you implement, whether it's cool engine mechanics or optimization, or some non-programming tasks. Here's to another 10!

Been watching since your city builder project. I always enjoy your calm voice and your impressive work! Keep up your work!

This is such a great channel to watch, been here for a few years now and every-single-one of your videos are so inspiring! Thank you for sharing your journey and congrats on the 10 years!

Your journey makes me want to put in more effort to create quality devlogs to grow my community further. I’ve been relatively active on Twitter but I might give KZread more attention. Amazing job on the video! And congratulations on all of your success 😁

This is so well put together. I really enjoy watching your videos; it is always a highlight of my day when a new devlog comes out. Keep up the good work!

Wow! This is so inspiring! Its been awesome seeing you grow over the years I have watched your videos (even though it wasn't from the start). Keep up the amazing work and can't wait for future videos!!

I have been watching your videos for several years now and I am very happy about your anniversary. Your videos encourage me to continue working on my projects when I lack motivation. I wish you another 10 years of great adventure in GameDev!

Such an inspiration!! Happy Anniversary as well!!! Giving me hope to continue on my project

I'm a software developer who was curious about game development around the time you started Equilinox. I've watched every video since then because I find watching you problem solve and steadily progress on your games (dream?) to be so motivational. When you were having health issues and you wouldn't post for months at a time I was surprised to find that I was really worried about you, considering we've never interacted and you live on the other side of the world. I'm so glad you're ok now and that you have found so much success. You deserve everything you've got and more. Wishing you many more years of success!

Congrats on the 10 years! I started watching you near the end of the city builder game because I was looking at making something similar at the time. It's been a joy to see your devlogs and I always get excited when new one is posted!

this is the first video of you ive ever seen and you did so good at telling your story. when you were talking about watching the people you followed reviewing your game i could feel the happiness in your voice. the cancer was a plot twist for sure glad your good with that. the family cheering and you cheesing for your first 100k. and the fact you spent to years making your first ever game in JAVA!!! absolutley incredible. so many shockers in this video very good narrating

You really fought it mate, quite a journey so far. I hope you find each day more pleasure in your path, doing what you love and what you're passionate about. You are really an inspiration!

Keep it up, I absolutely love your videos, and the process you're going through.

So glad I saw this video, really inspiring. Thank you for sharing all the pain and hardship. Knowing that something is going to be tough upfront helps you keep your head down and push through. I needed that reminder.

I'm happy you stuck on for all this time, both for you and for the community that's grown around this youtube channl. You've become a big inspiration for many new game-devs like me :) Keep being awesome~!

Thank you so much for this video. I have been following you for along time. You’ve inspired me for many years on my own journey of game development.

I can't believe it's been that long! I started watching around the early SOCUWAN development. Such a blast from the past, and it's great to see how far you've come

this is incredibly heartwarming. your tutorial videos were how i learned opengl so many years ago, and your socuwan devlogs were a huge inspiration for me. glad to see you are happier than ever

Happy Anniversary. What a fantastic video. I have been following you since the equilinox dev log days. You have inspired me a lot - Not in terms of game development but in general as a programming. I love building all frameworks and utilities from scratch. Watching your videos, it re-affirmed my faith in that approach that its okay to build everything from scratch if you really like it and you need not jump on the 'use premade' things band wagon just because everyone is doing that. I wish you the best for home grown and hope it will be a mega success.

I always get excited whenever you release devlog videos. I've been watching since the Socuwan days and the progress you've made over the years is really inspiring. keep up the good work and with you all the best.

This is awesome! I’ve been following ever since the middle of the Equilinox days, and I love your style, and watching the ways that your games evolve is so cool 😎

Very inspiring. I found your channel halfway through Equilinox's development, so it was really interesting to hear about your past dev experience. Good luck with Homegrown, I always look forward to your videos!

Thanks for all the content you have produced over these years, it's been great fun to watch. You have been an inspiration and motivation for many of my side projects.

I've been here and watched every single video since your first project and it's incredibly heartwarming to see you grow over time

Hope you stay healthy and keep going! your devlogs are inspiring

You truly inspire me! Thank you. I've wanted to make a game for many years, I have document after document of plans, and never thought I could take the first step, but I'm here and I'm trying for it!

Congrats on the milestone! Thanks for equilinox and all of the dev logs. I'm particularly grateful for your various tutorials, and have been following the channel since the water series. It helped get my head around GLSL and reignite the love for computer graphics. Keep up the good work 👍

Found your channel from the recent 10 year growth video recommended to me by KZread! Felt glad to see your progress. If no one has told you this - I'd say your code is one of the most cleanest looking codes in the game dev world! :) Cheers and looking forward to see your progress.

That's an insane achievement! Congratulations, you really are an inspiration for many, including me! I thought I was here since quite early on, but after seeing this I realize I was wrong. I 'only' joined this channel while you were already working on Equillinox and never knew about what you did before that. It's really cool to now see all of that and it adds a lot more perspective to a game development journey. Thanks for making these awesome videos, and I'll be looking forward to the next 10 years!

Your videos were really pleasure to watch, i think i found you after you released equilinox and from that point on you were one of my most favorite youtubers
