Let's Make A Game - Episode #170

So, first off, I wanted to say I missed you. Uh, also today's going to be a fun day. We're just going to jump inside of Unity and we're going to be working on a bunch of cool stuff. I'm writing a list right now. Um, trying to think through all the things that I need to work on today for our game. I say our my game Twisted Tower. I don't know why I always say our um so for the Twisted Tower edits today, we have a couple of things. elevator fixes. Um, an enemy that we want to work on. Um, we want to distribute turrets around the game. It's going to be fun. We got so many things to do. Mainly, guys, mainly we're just going to hang out. Let me close this. Mainly, we're just going to hang out, talk to each other, have a good time, let you guys ask questions about gamedev, and just hang out and have a good time. That's That's my priority for you guys and for me today. Hey, thank

you Michael W. Max C, Thomas C, and Kento K. Um, thank you so much for joining Fulltime GameDev. It means the world to me that you would enroll um in full-time gamedev. It's so cool that you trust me to show you the ropes of how to not only, you know, make games, but also um how to potentially turn it into a full-time gig. Obviously, I can't make any promises, guys. I could just tell you what I've learned. And by the way, there's a massive spring sale that started today. Um, for those of you who are curious, you're like, "Well, wasn't it 25% off, you know, couple weeks ago, last week, but now it's 40%." 40% off sales are like maybe quarterly, okay? So, it's usually during a a season shift. And so, 40% off starting today to celebrate spring because I love spring. You also get my 2D and 3D art programs completely free. These are really big programs taught by an actual indie game dev artist. That's me. And then also the 3D artist for Twisted Tower. He teaches

the 3D art program which is awesome cuz Twisted Towers art is incredible and he does an incredible job teaching that. Um so look, if you want to learn from an actual indie game dev on how to not only make indie games, whether it's 2D, 3D, whether it's Unity, GDAU, Unreal, or whether you want to also learn, you know, and by the way, you can take your pick. It doesn't matter which engine you want to learn. You could just pick one in the program. But if you also want to learn how to turn it into six figures, whether it's publishers, Kickstarter, hitting the Steam front page, how to get coverage from press, how to get coverage from streamers, I teach about all of this. The cool thing is the cool thing is is this is it's worked for me. It's worked for the last 10 years for me. So, you're learning from somebody who's actually done it, right, and is currently doing it. And then also it's worked for several of my students. Chris Stair, Bart Mamzer, Everflux Games. Plenty of great reviews here if you want to take a look at the link in the description. Um, Soultar, Antonio, Thomas Stewart. Um, look,

gamedev is hard. Going full-time indie is hard. Um, but if that's something you dream of, check out the link below. You got 14 days left. There's only uh 98 seats left. um cuz two seats were taken today, but these will sell out by the end of the 14 days. So, be sure to enroll if this is something you're interested in. And as always, guys, thanks for letting me read these ad reads and supporting the channel, whether it's sponsorships or sponsoring myself. It means the world that you guys would show up and and let me uh do these ad reads because I know some of them sometimes it can be a little annoying. Um but anyway, by the way, if you're a student, let me know in the chat um what you think about the program and I'll try and shout you out in the chat. Okie dokie. You guys ready to jump in? First off, guys, how's everybody doing? What are you working on? What are you working on today? I'm going to try and pull the chat up here. Um, give me just a sec. I'm going to

pull the chat up on my monitor right there. By the way, your face lives in my monitor. That's why I can look at it and also see the chat. It's a cool little clear monitor that's being reflected. So, I could see your chat while I'm looking at a monitor, which is really cool. Um, yeah. What's everybody working on today? Let's see here. Hey, Gordon. How you doing, buddy? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Gordon. Gordon is one of my favorite people. Gordon, what are you working on these days, buddy? Um, Jay Stewart says, "I'm a student and working on a special gun in my game." That's awesome. By the way, guys, if you if you happen to see any dandruff in my hair, it's actually uh sparkles because I went and got my hair sparkled in Disney World

with my daughter. There's this barber shop. You can get sprinkles put in your hair. Um, so you're just chilling, going to work on a few projects to watch this. First time being in a stream. That's awesome, Dragon. Hey, Thomas. Been watching you for many years. Just started a new 2D project. It's so hard to start, but your working has been inspiring. So, thank you. That's awesome. Keep it up, Morgan. That's awesome. Foxight says, "I'm writing." Oh, Foxite, I got to tell you, I've been working on a novel for 10 years, and it's small. It's not a big novel and it's not particularly good. Um, it's really stream of consciousness just rambling. But I think something's there. I think something special about it. You know, to be able to write in a voice is like the most valuable thing about writing to have a voice. So, I've been trying to finish that up. So, I was writing today as

well. It was weird. I couldn't stop. I just I just I know I have so much to do, but I just opened up Google Docs and started writing. So, I'm hoping to finish that up. Anyway, uh let's go ahead and jump into the into Twisted Tower today. Um one of the things I was working on last I think it was two weeks ago because I was at Disney for a week. Um, one of the things I've been trying to do is I'm trying to figure out, okay, look, if we activate the button, um, we want to deactivate the previous button, right? So, right here. So, if complete elevator button upon insert, then we're going to deactivate a previous floor. Gordon, does this make sense to you, man? Basically, I'm trying to make it so you can't go to previous floors. Uh Gordon says, "I'm doing a station this week, but just delivered a huge project at work. Been playing around with 3D modeling and ragdoll in Unity." That's funny.

Sweet. Um Thomas, what do you think about making a rage game for a beginner indie game? I think that's a great idea because rage games, from what I've heard, especially talking to Pony Pants, it's it's pretty straightforward. You know, they could be pretty linear. You don't even need a save system to be completely honest. Uh you don't need a menu. all the things that take forever, you know, um backtracking and and all that replayability. I don't really know if that's stuff you have to worry about with Rage games. Um okay, so that should complete the button after you've inserted um a ticket. So, if I insert ticket one and then I insert ticket two, ticket one should deactivate. That's the theory. Um, so let's see if that works. I don't even know if this is I don't even know if honestly this is what we need to do though because No, that does work. That does

work. Actually, this all makes sense. So, let's go ahead and try this out. It should deactivate the previous button and set it to complete. Um, it it should complete it. So, for example, this one right here, elevator button five. Once it's completed, it should look like this. So, if we let's go to our animator. By the way, those just joining us, just remember to click that link below to um check out the free webinar. There's a webinar below that's totally free. It's going to teach you how to get um an actual paycheck from making indie games. Um, it's not I I would never ever ever ever ever I have to say this lately. I would never ever ever say that making indie games or being making games profitable is easy. And that Thomas said I can make six figures. So, it's going to be easy. It's not easy, but I can tell you what I've done and how to do it. That's all I can say. So, click the link below.

There's a free webinar below and you'll learn a lot. Um, okay. So, let's double check something here. button completed if completed equals true. So let's just basically we just need to look at our see if the completed even does anything. So I'm going to make sure I I'm going to just see if that parameter gets set and it actually works. What's the goal Thomas? I got pulled away. Basically Gordon I'm not sure if you've Gordon Gordon has played I think a good chunk of this game because Gordon worked on this game. A lot of the code you see in this game is from Gordon actually. So guys say hi to Gordon um in the chat. And actually, I don't know if you care if I say this, Gordon. I tried to get Gordon to join me and and help out with some work, but Gordon is a he's too famous now for me, so he's a busy guy. Um, but basically what what I want it to be is I want number one to disable when I insert the ticket two. That's the goal. Uh, so that I can't go to floor one.

Let's set the animator here to completed. Just see what happens. Okay, good. It works. Okay, so that is working. And I shouldn't really be able to press it. I don't love this solution to be completely honest with you, just because it's not very pretty. Um, but it's fine for now. It's fine for now. Let's just get it working. Um, so there's floor one ticket. Let's go ahead and add in floor two ticket. And if I go to my elevator buttons, we should see all of our previous elevator buttons. Six, five, four. Four doesn't have one. Oh, that's because I see that's because we don't want the lobby to

disable. That's right. That's right, Gordon. Oh, man. How was everybody's um how was everybody's weekend, though? What was the hardest part of your weekend, guys? Thomas, have you ever thought about teaming up with other developers? Where where could they email you their work? Yeah, you won't be able to go back to a floor after you beat another floor. No, after I'm sorry. Yeah, you won't be able to do it. It's It's locked. Um, so yeah, Michael says, "Good." Yeah, once you've beaten a floor, the previous one is dunzo. Okay. Well, there's ticket two and then there's ticket one. So, let's go ahead and hit play here and see if it works. What was the hardest part of your your uh weekend, guys? Okay, let's insert floor ticket

two. Oh my word. We need to clear out the game manager or we need to clear out the saves. Something's not not working properly. This was a real pain in the butt last week. Do you guys remember this? or two weeks ago. How was Disney? Did you get any inspiration from it? Yeah, plenty of inspiration, but that's already sort of been applied to the game. I love Disney a lot. It was super busy this this when I went, guys. Like really busy. Okay, so I believe that's ticket one. Let's put that in. So that works. And then ticket two. Put that in. I can't for some reason. There we go. But it didn't do it to to one here. Ain't that strange, guys? For some reason, it doesn't work here. What's its animator at? Activated is good. What if

I set it to completed? That's so strange. So, completed is not being set. Um, even though this should do it. So, complete elevator button upon insert complete button. Let's see what it is here. And it should say I'm completing here one. And then we'll do I'm completing here two. And then I'm completing three. I'm here three. I'm completing here three. And what we're doing here is we're just trying to see how are we getting past the conditions. That's really all I'm looking for here. Um. Yeah. All right. Did you go to California or Florida Disney? Well, there's Disney World and then there's Disneyland and it Yeah, it was super

busy. First one, enter it. Okay, that worked. This one for some reason. Oh, GUIDs. two. Okay, so this happened here. It should be setting the bull to completed, but for some reason it's not. If animator exists, that's animator. Set bull completed. Completed. What's completed? Oh, what's that value? It's a get set. So, we need to set it to crew, right? I think that's what it we we want to do there. All right, let's double check here. We're going to start

again. I'm going to fix this here. Ping ping. There we go. All right. So, I think that'll solve it. What type of game are you are we working on, Gil? Gil, you can play the demo. It's called Twisted Tower. It's doing really well, actually. I'm excited to announce uh well, I'll tell you the wish list numbers maybe a couple months because we're about to hit a cool milestone. Um, admittedly wish list numbers have slowed since Steamworks or I'm sorry, Steam NextFest, but we're getting like 200 to 400 a day. Okay, let's try again. So, we'll do this one first. Dude, I rode I rode uh Mickey's Mickey's Haunted Mansion. I just love that ride so much.

Let that insert. There we go. So, for some reason, it's not freaking completing that. It's driving me nuts. Foxite, thanks for streaming Twisted Tower. Thank you. Um, man, for some reason, it's not completing this one, but it should. Is the animator there? Does the animator exist? Let's see. No, it's right there. But for some reason, not completing. So, it should be right here. Completed equals true. Isn't that strange, guys?

Let's go ahead clear the game manager. And I believe ticket one. That one's good. We're going to go find floor one ticket. I'm sorry, floor two ticket. And I believe it's on floor one. We want to copy this one because it has the exact GU ID. Yeah. Completed as a bull on there. There it is right here. That's floor two ticket. Let's go back to floor

zero. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. All right. There's a floor two ticket. So basically what we need to do here is double check again. Okay, good. That exists. Yay. Once I insert this one, it should it doesn't play the animation for some reason. And it doesn't. That's so weird. Why doesn't it play the animation? I guess it can't. Oh man, I did not expect this glitch to be so This why I need you, Gordon. Have I

convinced you yet, buddy? Um, it's not setting completed to true. Why is that? Animator setbull completed set to true. That's so strange H. No, we're getting there. Animator set bull completed is true. yet for some reason it's not. Well, it doesn't matter if the first animation's playing or not. The

the boolean is not getting ticked to true, you know. So, I I can't even figure it out because I mean, it's not even firing the boolean. We're setting it to true, you know. We had this issue last week. Um, so I don't know, man. Um, that's so strange. It doesn't matter as long if I'm just I want to make sure that the boolean is getting set to true and for some reason it's not. It's this right here. Um, this button here, Gordon, complete elevator button upon insert. It's completing number four, which is that one.

Um so that's it's pretty straightforward you know it just says okay if complete elevator up upon insert if that button exists then complete the button and there's the function and it does all this and then it sets it to completed equals true. Um, so that's what's so strange about it. For some reason, it's not doing it. Hey Loyal, how are you? Let's debug the animator. animator dot Yeah, my animator

is should exist. Yeah, let's let's double check the ID. That's a good question. So, that ID is one. So, it should say one when I when I insert it. Good. That's great, Loyal. Thanks for hanging out, guys. I know I know uh these haven't been the most exciting streams working on an elevator panel, but um yeah. So, let's insert the first one here. Good. Okay. And then let's do this one. Now, let's look at this complete complete button. That's fine, I guess. Yeah, let's double check here and enter this

one. My ID is one and my game object is ele elevator button 4 right there. And my ID is one. Parameter completed does not exist. Really? What? Well, that's all we needed. Completed is right there. It's right there. And it says completed does not exist. It's because I could not tell you what. It says completed does not exist,

but it's right there. What? It's right here. It's right there, guys. It says it doesn't exist, but it does exist. It's got a space in it. You mother effer. Oh my word. I I mean that's fine, I guess. I guess that's fine. Good

grief. That was the issue. All right, there's that. And then we insert this. It should just swap that to There we go. And it still could be selected, which is a problem, but at least we know um Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. So, uh basically, we need to go ahead and say, look, I can only press the button if Yeah, here we go. Uh, we can only press it if we're activated, right? And so we just need to say is activated equals false. And hopefully that'll save on unload. Do you think it will, Gordon? Um, so if we go to complete button, we just say activated equals

false. Thomas, those debug.logs are so unprofessional. Well, get used to it. Get used to it. That is how I make games. I don't know how else to tell you this. We'll get rid of the debug.logs later. Gordon, would you fix bugs for me if I sold my soul to [Music] you? Okay, this should work, guys. All right. So, if I insert another elevator card, it should make it so that I can't do anything with this. Yeah. But

that should it should do that error sound. Let's hear if we can hear it. You've already completed the floor. You've already completed the you you you you've already completed the [Music] floor. I mean, that's honestly fine. It doesn't bother me too much. I think I should change it to like a yellow color, though. No, there is something wrong. I actually uh Gordon says, "Your soul is less valuable than money." I've been trying to get Gordon to help me with the project. Uh he's a he's a highly soughtafter masculine, strong, wonderful

man, but he's too cool for me. Okay, let's clear out all of our debugs. Actually, yes. So, debugs are a problem. you you really don't want them because they they cause a little tiny little hiccup in the frame rate every time they're thrown. So, you want to get rid of them once they're done. That's right. Um, all right, Frank. All right, buddy. I hear you. I've heard you. You want me to use break points? I got it. But I'm not going to. I'm sure it's wonderful. I don't really have time to figure out what you're talking about. Um, Thomas, how could you be a game developer and not know how to do that? Well, that's just how it is. But I app I

I I appreciate it. I really do appreciate the advice. Um, yeah. So, let's go ahead and make this error occur properly. So this is um disabled I believe it. No, press error. It's sort of Yeah. So for some reason the base color here that's a greenish color. I want it to be a yellow or red color. So what we'll do completed completed will be like a yellow color. There we go. Like that.

A little bit orange though. Yeah. Son of a. All right. All right, that's a good error. That And by the way, guys, this kind of like having feedback like this, the right colors, the right icons, everything. It's so important. Like this right here. Um, having that little arrow says this is your current floor. Like, it's tiny little things like this that are so important for the game. did it yellow and it's not green because it's like it's a it's available but

you're not there. Um lots and lots of little tiny things here. You did it. [Music] Why is that freaking green? Hold on. Where where's it going? Let's see. That's elevator button four completed. That really shouldn't loop. Why is that looping? Cuz from any state and uh can transition to self. Turn that off. Whoops. Yeah, let's turn that off and let's go back in time here. Not going to lie, Twisted Tower came out better than expected. You're telling me, Gil, I was I I'll be completely honest with all of you. You know, this is my third commercial release. Definitely the

biggest project. It's my first 3D game, my first horror game, my first first-person shooter. Lot of first times, first time working with a team that I'm paying myself. It has been such a learning experience and I really did not expect people to like the demo. I'm I'm completely honest. I I thought people were going to hate it. I really did. Okay, that works. Dang it, Thomas. Why did you press that? Yeah, it's game feel. It's also like feedback. Gil, it's like um Yeah, it's it's uh giving the player I think you're talking about the panel, right? It's just giving the player everything that uh they need to know what's going on. You did it. Okay, that's good. But what state is it going to to turn freaking green? Hang on.

That's button going. Why? Because activated is true. We want to make activated false. Thomas is so smart. He's always winning the game. He's the best game dev that we've ever seen to date. So, activated equals false. completed equals true activated equals false. My hope and my dream is that this saves that all of this saves. Um but we'll see if Thomas goes to Unreal Engine. I'll work for him for free. Still not worth

it. Still not worth it. Why, Thomas? But Unreal Engine is better. Well, I'm sure I'm sure you know simplified Chinese is better than English. Yet, I'm sticking with English just cuz it's what I know. Can't Can't teach an old dog new tricks, right? You did it. That's fine with me. It's not the best thing ever. I kind of feel like I need to to make it so that it deactivates or something. The one there, you know, I really don't even want the player to be able to press it. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to say look if we're completed is false you can do it otherwise nothing. No. So let's try

again. Hello home. You care about your games. So that's better than most developers. I am a good person. I I am really great. Everything I do is great. I care about my games and nobody else does, you know. What can I say? It's just it's just what it I was just born with it, you know? It's I'm just so different. Gordon Arbor says, "Releasing games is better than doing things perfect. The engine you choose 100% of the time." I agree with old Gordon, Mr. uh Scragglebeard. We're going to try it one more time. Baby, you did it. You did it. And then this one here. You did it. That's fine enough for

me. Floor is beaten. Unbeaten. Current floor. I really feel like I mean it should not even be able to play that that error song. That error. What am I trying to say? That error sound. So let's double check something here. If this is the press go sound, there's Okay, there's also a sound playing right here. There's the error sound. Okay, so why is a sound playing? you know, um I don't know. I couldn't tell you, but it's not to me it's not worth my time. I'd rather move on. Let's just double check that this all saves properly.

So, what we're going to do, and by the way, those of you just joining us, just uh for those of you just joining us, just remember that um you can join Fulltime Gamedev below for 40% off for the spring sale. I believe there's something around 97 seats, 98 seats left. These will sell out. These do sell out. This is actual. This is real. I know there's a lot of people who are like, "Thomas sells courses and he says that he doesn't that he has limited seats, but it's not true." No, it's true. There are 100 seats left and they will sell out. Um, and I do these big sale events quarterly, um, or seasonally really. Um, so they don't happen all the time, these big ones, 40% off. You also get 2D and 3D art pro completely free, which is, you know, 2D and 3D art courses that are taught by actual indie gamedev, which is really, really cool. That's what makes my courses unique. That's why they're more premium cuz they're taught by an actual indie game

dev in the trenches making games. For some reason, you can't see it and that's a problem. So, anyway, let's go to floor two here. Actually, crap. Uh, what am I going to do here, guys? We need to make sure that the demo Yeah, we need to make sure this is no longer a demo build. So, let me go to the game manager variant and turn off is demo. I think you wrote this code, Gordon. Maybe not. Yeah. No, Gordon, I think you wrote this code, dude.

Okay. Anyway, let's go ahead and check to see if everything saves properly and act make sure we add our build settings because there's new floors here that we need to go to. I'm getting excited. Oh, I just got Butterflies. Basically, I'm excited because the demo has been officially released. We're good to go. We got a ton of wish lists from it. Great reviews. People think it's the greatest game ever made. Now, I'm getting butterflies cuz I'm moving forward. I'm moving into the next chapters after these few edits here. Anyway, we'll we'll move forward away from this stupid elevator just a sec, guys. Okay. All right. We beat floor one. Yay. Now you did it. We beat floor floor one. Now floor two is the next one. So let's go to floor two. For those of you who played the demo, you've never seen floor two, have

you? If I like the code, you wrote it, Gordon. If I don't like the code, you didn't write it. Got it. Okay. So, is it saved? Mother didn't save. Oh Lord God, save me from this hell. Make me feel your joy. Make me feel your peace. Lord God, save me from this hell save me from this hell. So we need we're just we have we need to load the

state and there's completed right here. So we need to like set the completed value. Ah yes. Uhhuh. Mhm. Yeah. So, this right here, the saved the save state of activated. Um, I believe these booleans aren't being set properly. Let's see here. Yeah, they're not. It's just setting the animator values. Yeah, good, good, good, good. We just did it. That's it. That should do it. And that's why this was was proper, but this was not. So, it was deactivated, but it wasn't completed. And that's cuz that that was not there. Uh Thomas, have you seen Heretic yet? Super good movie. Mike Jimmy, I have not. You know what I've been doing, guys? I want to talk to you about this. I've been reading Brandon Sanderson. Does anyone know what I'm

talking about? Gordon is stirring up stuff in the chat. Um, okay. So, let's go to floor two here and double check. Oh, that didn't even work. Cracker jacks. Hang on. No, no, I'm not reading Misborn. Um, I'm reading the uh Stormlight Archive. It's amazing. It's one of the

best books I've ever read written. I've It's one of the best books I've ever read read. Not ridden. It's not a bike. We're almost done with this, guys. I promise. You did it. Uh yeah. So, I'm reading the uh obviously Way of Kings. So good. I just I'm so happy. We should probably also fix that as well. The reason why it's not inserting, I think it's because the mesh is being disabled for some some reason. I heard Misborn is awesome. Um, have I watched the 8bit Ryan video about your game? Yes. I was I was walking through Magic Kingdom when I saw or no, it was uh Animal Kingdom and I was like I looked at my phone, I saw he played it. I was so excited. Okay, let's go to floor [Music]

two. Yeah, Wilbert, the bridge crew stuff is super super cool. Um, Gordon, we're talking about uh reading Brandon Sanderson books. Son of a. Why? What we need to do here is we need to say if it's completed then do this crap, right? If it's completed do all this. So we need to basically go up to here in the load state. Setup button. Yes. Setup button here. And we say yes. Got it. Good. Good. Thomas, oh yes, you have figured it out. Set bull if completed. No, we're going to set the bull to what it is, right?

Yay. So, that should do it. I'm getting Bioshock vibes from Twisted Tower. Yep. I'm a thief. Oh, Gordon, you and Gil are getting into it. You're getting into a nasty little spat. The legend of Gordon and Gil begins. Gil, the ultimate shardbearing Unity or Unreal developer, challenges Gordon, the the uh what do you call it? the uh Bridge Crew 4 um servant with no shard plate, no shard blade, but the will and the power and the

strength. I've got I'm trying to build a narrative here. I've been practicing building narratives and it's not I'm not very good at it. and the and the power and the will to prove Gil wrong. And I I gotta say when it comes to a David and Goliath story, I always feel like Unity developers are the David. I don't know why. I just feel like Unreal is Unreal is obviously better, but it's better. It's just a bigger, better engine. But I'm rooting for Unity. Not because of the corporate BS, but just because I like the engine. All right, let's see if this works. This has been the most boring live stream of my life. You did it.

That's right, [Music] Jason. GDAU is definitely David. GDAU is just a different beast entirely. That's what I said. Hey, Thomas, you win. Okay, good. So, we can no longer go to floor one ever again. Thank God. So, that's official. And I want to thank Felipe. Felipe is the level designer and 3D artist who was previously on the project project last year. He's no longer with the project. Um, just because he he wrapped up his work and we also had budget cuts. But, um, he his his advice was just lock the floors, dude. There's no reason to be able to let them go back.

Um, yeah, Edwin, it's not your fault. I'm saying I'm not entertaining you enough. This is quite the boring stream. Um, guys, I'm getting my full sleeve done in two or three weeks. It's going to be super. Although after reading some of uh Way of Kings, I'm I'm tempted to get a full Kaledan tattoo. Yeah. All right. There's no purpose to go back though. That's the thing. Uh you guys know this.

I'm all about with indie game dev. I'm all about simplifying and cutting and simplifying and cutting and simplifying and cutting. Brandon Sanderson, back to Brandon Sanderson, he talks about this when it comes to world building. It's like there's no reason to give worldbuilding stuff in your story and fill it with worldbuilding bloat if it doesn't serve the story. So, it's called world building in service of story. The same is true with features in service of the genre. So, it's like, do you really need to go back to a previous floor? Does it serve the genre at all? No. Does it serve the story? No. Get rid of it. Okay. Am I reading for a future project? I am thinking about doing fantasy for my next game. Yes. But mainly I'm just inspired by Brandon Sanderson. I love Brandon Sanderson because he's he's he's also a Mormon. I believe he's a Mormon. And I love his sort of religious uh he he talks a lot about

leaning into your forte when it comes to telling stories. His his stories, at least from what I'm reading, have a ton of religious worldb buildinging, and I'm so fascinated by that. Um, if there's any religion that is phenomenal when it comes to fantasy world building, it's the what? What religion? What religion is best? There's actually number one and then there's number two. Number one, who can guess it? The if you want a religion, if you want to have a religion that makes you the best fantasy writer and sci-fi writer, who what religion is it? Who knows you? it. You can do it. I promise you can do it. What is the best religion? If you wanted to be a fantasy writer, which religion would you be? Nope. I would say anchor. I kind of feel like Hindu would be good for like

epics. No, not Christianity. Wrong. Islam. Nope. Wrong. Yes, Loyal Mussi gets it correct. Can we Can we really, guys? Can we really argue with Loyal Mussi? Really? That's the best one. Like, that one is going to give you everything you need. Um, 1,000%. Nordic. I mean, maybe for like I don't think so. I think maybe for like myth mythology if you were to write a myth a mythological piece or an epic Satanism. Um no I I think Scientology number two is for me in my opinion it's Mormonism. Um it there's just so much it feels fantastical when you read like Mormon theology. I'm not arguing with

it, although I would. Um, but right now I'm not arguing with it. I'm just saying it has that that that flavor and flare very similar to like fantasy. Um, correct, Loyal. Correct. Um, okay. What's the next thing? Uh, is there anything I could do in this live stream that doesn't involve spoiling things for you guys? Let me look at my task list. I'm glad I got that done. Um, I could really go for a zen right now. Let's see here. Brushism. I think I want to start a religion just just that's why I'm really interested in writing fantasy and and I'm interested in fantasy altogether because you get a

free pass to be completely absurd. Um you can create all the coolest religions. You can create new science, new science, new worlds, new plants, new cultures, new technology, new e economic systems, uh new new cultural standards. You can do all of it for free without any justification with fantasy. I'm fascinated by I'm fascinated by fantasy mixed with drama or like horror. So you kind of mix all three. Um I kind of feel like that's what um Tim Burton does. He he mixes fables and drama and horror. He kind of mixes those. I'm really interested in the idea of writing a story that is fantasy in a modern world. Now, obviously, I'm not making this up. Like, it's not like it's fresh. I've just never seen something like it, but like fantasy in a modern world wrapped in a horror

flavor. Um, anyway, let's go to let's go and see what our our other bugs we have to fix are. Gordon says, "There's a lot of fantasy that came from Christianity. I wonder if you just know it so well it doesn't feel fant." I didn't say it. It's I did not say Christianity isn't fantastical. Uh, as a Christian, I'll be the first one to admit like I I I found it I always find it funny when people say, "How could you how could that person believe in Islam that there's these crazy ideas or there's this crazy thing or it's so weird?" Or they'll say it about um Scientology or they'll say about Mormonism. Oh, it's so weird. And and I'll be I'm like, well, like there's a ton of weird stuff in Christianity as well. Granted, I choose Christianity and I believe that one's correct. I really like

Christianity. It makes the most sense to me. Um, but yeah, like every religion is strange. Um, but of course the world is strange. It's so funny how once we write it down and it turns into some sort of scientific proven scientific theory, it's it's no longer weird. This is no longer weird. Yet, when there's an intuition or a sense and a smell for something, when a culture smells God or they feel like um who was saying it was someone who was saying it's like an infant wrapped in the womb and that the twin is saying um the twin says to the other twin, there's two twins in a in a womb and and and one twin is like um what do you think of maybe maybe we're in a mother maybe mother surrounds us and the other twin's like there's no proof for that. Um, why has nobody come

back to tell us this? Um, and is there life after birth? No, there's no proof. But the other twin is like, "Yeah, but I just feel like that's true." Like I just feel it. Um, I think the same is true with religion and and God. It's like you just it just feels it just feels like it. But then again, there's a lot of people who say that they don't feel it. So, it's a mystery. It is a mystery. Um, okay. What am I doing? Well, I'm I'm talking about religion. That's what I'm doing. We're not going to be making games anymore. We're going to talk religion. Uh, I guess I could fix the jump scare door on floor one. There's a glitch with that one.

Allow player to turn off all bloom. Nah, I don't really want to work on that right now. Sorry, I'm looking at my stuff here, guys. Uh, add turrets. I really do need to do that. I just don't want to show you guys too much of the game. Gordon, I really want you to do this one. Have I Have I tempted you yet, Gordon? Yeah. A lot of people they uh they're like, "Why do you believe in Christianity if it like it's not proven to you, Thomas?" And I'm like, "No, it's not. It's not." I I will say I I honestly Why is it Why is it wrong to believe something that isn't 100% proven to you? I know that sounds offensive or

strange to say, but it's like I'm going to die. I'm going to I'm going to die. I'm going to be buried in the ground. I'm going to turn to dust. So, I'm just going to believe what I want to believe. Uh, so I don't care. It's like there's so many t so many people who just they just they just don't want to choose something and so they just live in a murky gray and it's like well everything's going to be murky gray. That's life. Life is gray and blurry and foggy. So just pick something and and believe it. Man, that's probably the worst argument for my faith I've ever made. But I'm just telling you that's that's how I feel. The older I get, I'm like, I don't care. I'm just going to believe fully. I'm going to believe fully

in Jesus. And that's that. Well, the shroud of Turin is really interesting though. The Shroud of Turin is really interesting, though. And I I was saying this years ago until all the news came out about it. I've been saying that's weird. That's weird. Um and then it's starting to come out that it truly is. It truly is as old as Christ. Um, I guess we could just go ahead and I guess we could start distributing turrets. Is it possible for me to turn off textures so that you guys can't see too much, you know? Um, let's see here. Look at all these overlaps I can do.

Wait. Oh, good. Oh, yes. Okay. All right, guys. Well, when do we want turrets to Did I start a firestorm in the chat? Hang on. Sang Juan says, "Why did we start talking about Christianity?" Uh, Sang Juan, I'm not sure you've been in my previous streams. This We always sort of end up here. Uh H hates it. Jason's story says, "I respect it if you have proof. You don't need believe. Belief is the work, the capacity for faith." The Shroud also has crazy studies on the blood of Christ because genetically they can find a mother but no father. Really, Dne? Boy, that sounds like misinformation to me. Let's Let's double check it. Let's ask

Grock. Let's go ask Grock. Let's see what Grock has to say. I know a lot of you hate Grock. Um, let's see here. Does the Shroud of Turin have data about the blood and there being no father? For those of you who don't know, the shroud of Turin is basically a a a negative of something that looks exactly like Christ. It looks like a photograph of Christ. And it's a shroud. It's a burial shroud. So, the idea is is that Christ's resurrection emitted radiation and light. Boom. And that prints a photo negative onto this shroud. And the shroud has a crown of thorns. It has the blood in the hands. has the the wound the side the the the the the side being stabbed with blood coming out. Um it has the face of a Jewish man

and it dates back to that area. I don't know. And that the fibers come from that area as well. At least what the bi where the Bible says he was he was crucified and it dates back to the exact time that the crucifixion would have occurred. Uh so it's uh it's it's the reason why Christians they don't they don't use it. I actually I don't think any Christians I know use the Shroud of Turin as proof of or or proof or a a proof of their faith. I would I would never um in fact I don't even try to argue that stuff anymore. I just look at I mean this Christ says look at the fruit. So he says, "Look at the the fruit of um uh look at the fruit of people's lives. That's that's the best metric as to whether Christ is in them or not." Um so I'm like, "Well, just look at people's fruit. Look at the people around you uh on average do do people who truly

love God, do does and love Christ, do they does their fruit reflect do they have fruit in their life?" Um, fruit being joy, peace, patience, kindness, self-control. If so, that's the proof, which I know does not satisfy a lot of people, and I completely understand it. Okay. The shroud of turn a linen cloth bearing the image of a man. Some believe it. Here's what the research says about the blood. Scientific studies uh say it's human blood. It has hemoglobin, serum. Okay. So, it's blood. It's AB. The question of whether the shroud provides evidence of no father potentially supporting the Christian belief of the virgin birth relates to DNA analysis. However, there's no conclusive data on this. In 2015, a team led by blah blah blah. Um they said the shroud and found they found mitochondrial DNA passed from the mother from multiple individuals likely due to

contamination. The study identified various haplo groups, but it did not isolate a single individual's DNA. Lack of Y chromosome evidence. No definitive studies has isolated Y chromosome DNA. Claims of no father would require pristine uncontaminated DNA showing only maternal contribution. Something that would be so freaking interesting. Would that not be the like that would be so crazy if God was like, "Hey, I'm going to give you a photograph of me and this photograph is going to be taken at the start of the Western calendar. Is it the Western calendar?" It's really the global calendar, isn't it? I mean, I know there's a Chinese calendar. And it's going to be the exact image. It's going to be the first photograph ever taken. Um, and it's going to be the exact image of my face, of God's face at zero, I'm sorry, not 080. What is it, 32 AD or whatever? And

also, it's going to have all of the exact imprints of blood of the crucifixion. And also, the DNA is going to prove the virgin birth. Would that not be crazy? That would be the weirdest, most craziest thing. Let's see here. Challenges, interpretation, contamination. The shadow has been touched by countless people, so blah blah blah. It's really hard to know. Uh most scientists view view the shroud as a historic artifact not a definitive record of genetic information. This was the radiocarbon data that dating that was considered to be wrong. It was correct. It was considered correct in the '9s early 2000s but recently they said no actually I think this is the study. No actually um it is old because this one said it wasn't. See, look, it placed the origin at 1260 to 1390 um in suggesting that it was medieval creation, but this was contested by recent studies. Um I I'm that's me saying it, not Grock. They re lean heavily on

theological interpretation rather than empirical dev uh uh data. It's just so interesting. It's just so interesting. Um, it's it feels so miraculous and serendipitous if it actually is like if it actually contains all this data. To me, it's just wild. It would just be so wild. Okay, let's go back to placing turrets. Ain't that weird? Look at this. Okay. Um, all right. Okay. So, did you see the scroll found of something Jesus peace be upon him said that the Quran said he said there? What Dougmack says? Did you see that scroll found on of something Jesus peace be

upon him said that the Quran said he said but there's never proof until we just found that scroll. Wow. I have no idea what you're saying, Tuck. Okay, let's go to floor um we're going to go to floor negative one and and introduce cannons on floor negative 1. How's that sound? In fact, I actually believe there's turrets here and I can just replace the turrets. That might work. Well, let's try it. Lots of people tried to claim it was fake, but the main reason is because they found it hard to believe. Any This is from Dne. Anyways, wish I could talk more, but I have work to do. I don't think Jesus would have only had his mother. This is from uh the Hemshin project. It's funny how, by the way, side note, it's funny how people don't like to talk about Jesus. It's like he's very

famous. Like the whole world hinges on Jesus. Now granted, it hinges on uh the Abrahamic faith, which Christianity, it mounts itself onto it, but also Islam, um the three main religions. But Jesus is sort of he's in the middle of all of it, you know? He's like in the middle of everything. He's in the middle of governments. He's he's in the middle of all these religions. He's just always there. It's like, I can't get this guy out of here. And I just find that so interesting. He's like either a he's either oxygen or like a cancer and he's just in everything. You can't get him out of living things. He's just always there. And I find that so

interesting. Cinemart says Drake is always famous. Well, what you're what you're telling me is you're saying, Thomas, don't use uh the argument of crowds. Is that what it's called? Just cuz someone's famous doesn't mean they're right. Uh but you can say that if something is consistently accepted and that it's cons over over thousands of years is consist consistently accepted and grappled with and struggled with and it inflames people and it frustrates people. What you can say is not that it's right. You can say though it's powerful. And that's all I'm saying. I'm not saying it's correct. I'm saying it's powerful. There's something there and I don't know what it is. Well, I know what it is, but I can't prove to you what it is. Does that make

sense? Okay, let's go ahead and take a look and see if we've got any turrets here. Oh, good. We've got some turrets. And we also got turret homing here. I can't see them for some reason. Let's double checked. He's right there, but for some reason he's not there. That's because turret homing is disabled. We have all this. Okay. Okay. So, I see we have turret homing and we need to replace turret homing with the turret cannon. So, we're going to replace this with the new cannon. Where is it? Here it is. Replace. Oh, and it's perfect, baby. That's so nice. It just fits right in. Okay, so we have our turret cannons. The

turret enemy, I believe, is that one that we just did. Yeah. So, it's just the turret cannons. So, all I really need to do is go through all of our turret cannons. We also have this. Okay. Yeah, that's great, guys. Floor negative -2. Let's move on. What do we got here? I Guys, by the way, guys, don't feel don't feel bad for arguing or saying anything against what I'm saying. It's one of my favorite things to do. I could sit with you guys for I could sit with you for 60 years and just talk about religion and Christ and the Quran and theology and evolution and politics. I love it all so much. Um, I think that it's some it's so twisted that we don't want to talk about this stuff with each other and that we tell each other not to talk about it at the

dinner table where it's like, what else should we talk about? Like th those are the things that are so important. The reason we get angry is because they're important. So that's okay. Now, you probably shouldn't get angry about it, but it's important. Does that make sense? It's such a strange, bizarre, backwards, perverted way of of talking about social issues. It's like social issues should not be discussed, but you could talk about football. What? No. Flip it around. Social issues, religion, politics. Talk about it. It's okay. You don't have to get so mad. All current religions have their origin in older religions. How dare you say that, Gax? Oh, so offensive. I am just sick of this. Okay, so we need to generate some

GUIDs for these turrets. Thank god that they're not in the demo build. So, we're going to generate because they would be overridden. Um, so let's generate those. Got them. Moving on to floorg3. Oh, that was floorative -2. Wait, no, that's floor negative. Yeah, we're good. This is from Mike Jimmy. I think the people who get angry about it are likely the people who need to talk about it the most. That's exactly right. Um I have so many friends where where everyone's on the a different side of the political aisle. Um and we have had heated conversations in the past. Uh, I have friends who are a lot of friends, especially in the game dev industry, who are uh atheists. Um, I have friends who are Mormon. I have friends who are um uh let's think here. Maybe Buddhist, I'm not sure, and Hindu

um Muslim. But, and this is what's so funny. People think they say you can only argue about it in a peaceful way if we all just say that everyone's right. Yes, let's talk about it because everyone's right. And I'm like, no, you can you can still believe something's right and believe it fully, like objectively true, and still be peaceful with people. That's okay. That's being a human. I think that uh most people who say that they're okay with everything being true, deep deep deep deep deep down, they actually do have a belief in what's true deep in their subconscious that they cling to, but their mouth says they don't care. I think everybody deep down has beliefs. It's impossible not to. Um, and the the trick is is with when it comes to

society and having friends with different beliefs, the trick is to not be so freaking offended. Enjoy conversation. It's okay. It's okay that people disagree with you and it's okay that you have opinions. These are the the spices of life. All right, let's save this and move on to floor negative two. The only the only conversation banned at my dinner table is other people's holiday photos. I don't care that you stood beside a famous monument. Okay, here we go back. Let's move on to the turrets, guys. Oh my goodness gracious. We have a ton of homing turrets on floorgative -2, which is awesome. Thank you, Felipe, for replacing these. All I got to do is replace them with the new cannon.

Bing. Oh, it's right here, baby. It looks great. Okay, good. Oh, he's right here, too. And he'll work great. Oh, I love it. Very true, Thomas. Very true, said Daniel. Anybody just hate what I'm saying? I don't think I I don't think what I'm saying is too. Tuck says, "I'd love to hop on a call and debate you, Thomas. I got three good questions for you." Okay, Tuck, give me your first one. All right. Um, moving on to floor. Let's go to floor three. I don't want to show too much of the game, but we're going to move forward. By the way, if you haven't checked out Fulltime GameDev below, you can get 40% off um for the next 14 days. 40% off plus 2DR Pro plus 3D art pro. But Thomas, it's always on sale. Well,

there's always a 25% off coupon. If you click on it, you have 5 days to use the coupon, then it expires. So, it's a personalized 25% off coupon like we did last week. This sale though, this is seasonal. Okay? So, I I do seasonal sales. They last for 14 days. Okay? Um, let's see here. Chris Thomas, when I first found your channel, I thought you were a coarse shill. But I am a coarse shill, Chris. But after a while of un understanding your stance on gamedev in the world as a person, I have completely shifted my perspective. That's awesome. I do sell courses, you know, I sell premium courses and I make good money doing it. Um, and I'm completely unashamed of it. Um, it's totally fine to sell knowledge. I have no issues with it. If I put together a massive course for people and I spend $25,000 creating a course and it's a ton of work, I have no issue selling that course. None at all. Uh that's just life. Um now I would I would never ever sell a

course, man. I would never sell a course if I was a fraud. Like if if I didn't know what I was talking about and I didn't actually make money making games and I didn't work with publishers and I hadn't signed deals and I hadn't done a Kickstarter campaign and I hadn't been hit the Steamfront page and I didn't know how to make a good game, I would not be selling courses. There are people who do that. That to me is a grifting a grifting shill. Um, so yeah, replace. Ding, ding, ding. We got the turret cannons. Okay. And then we also have the turret homing. Oh my goodness, we have a lot of them. Okay. I think we got them all replaced. Good. Let's go to the turret homing. What else? We got any other debates in here? Tuck says, "One question takes some setup with a

scenario. It's a brain twister, but boiled down, it's a question about inherent good." Okay, Tuck, go give it to me. Give it to me. And I will tell you, if I can't answer it correctly, I'll get mad. I will get angry at you. How dare you? How dare you ask me a good question? I love mind bender. I love theological mindbending questions. Um, that's what this tattoo is here. It says, "Did he who made the lamb make thee?" And that's a William Blake po uh poem. Um, I think it's that's the tiger and it's basically did he who made Christ, did he who made love, grace, kindness, did he also make the tiger, the tiger being Satan evil? Um, did did God really make that or is Satan the absence of good, which is the absence of God? Well, even the concept of absence is created Right. So that's a really fun question, too. So it's just a question, you

know. In fact, I I just struggle with the idea that things can't be created unless they're outside of our paradigm. Then it makes sense. So like people always say, "Who created God?" And it's like, "Well, the whole point of God is that he's not created." Like it's like that's like saying, "Who created the thing that isn't created?" Oh, gotcha. And it's like no when people say God they mean what is the thing? What is the I am? What is the infinite present future and past? The thing the system the server that holds the third dimension that is God. So if that is the definition of God the argument that God was created doesn't make sense. All right. There's a turret. What is he? This is turret homing. I don't have any homing missiles. homing cannon. So, we're just going to do turret cannon. Good. So, there's one there. Is there a reason he's there? Yeah. Okay, we'll put him up

here right here. So, we'll do negative 180. Okay, Tuck, did you give it to me? Okay, Tuck has yet to give me his setup. I want to hear it. Seriously, I promise I won't get mad. I would love to hear it. So, that one I don't know why he's there, but uh I feel like I want to put him I feel like I want to put him up here or something like right here. Ding like this. I've been told it's the creator's fault. I think that's rude though because God doesn't force you to choose. Satan chooses to be evil. God didn't program it to be evil. This makes no sense. One of the most interesting um arguments for it doesn't really work though. I'll

be the first to admit it doesn't really work. Um one of the interesting idea people like to say that God uh God doesn't allow uh well evil exists because of free will and without free will you can't have love. Now, do we agree with that? Do first off, do we agree with that? Um, what would you call it? Premise. Do we agree that if you're forced to love somebody, it's not love. So, in order for love to exist, you have to have free will. Like for in order for human beings to exist within the cont the context in the paradigm of love, they have to have free will because you can't be forced to love because that is the opposite of love. Like, do we agree with that premise? So that's the first premise. The second and say yes or no. And then the second thing is is well okay if human beings necessarily need free will to engage in love then you're also going to get the

absence of love which is hate and pain. And the problem with that not know just hate and evil and uh selfishness and pride pride and greed all the things that are the absence of love. So that's what Christians tend to say. Well that's why that's why evil exists. And you go okay well that's why evil exists but why does pain and disease exist? To Alex Okconor's point, why is it that when a deer gets hit by a car and he breaks his leg and he suffers and dies and starves to death for seven days straight next to a riverbed alone in the middle of the woods? Why is it that that happens? And the only answer a Christian can have is something something it's something kind of magical which is well with the absence of love is sin and sin creates disease and death. So disease and death are a result of sin

which is what the Bible says. Granted I've never heard a Christian argue the mathematics of that right? It doesn't really make a ton of mathematical sense. So I don't understand the equation there. So, it's kind of it's kind of magical. Um, so I don't I don't want to hear someone give some profound explanation as to why evil and pain exist in a world created by a good God because I don't know. I don't know. Okay. So, that's good right there. Right. Um, we're making a lot of progress today on theological discussions. The absence of love is apathy. Hate is the opposite of [Music] love. Maybe I guess. Maybe you might be right. He can't be benevolent if excess

pain exists. Uh, that's like a dog saying um Oh, man. That's like a dog saying the United States government doesn't exist because I don't understand it. Right? So, we can't just say a good God cannot exist if pain exists. Boom. Done. That's that's not it can't it doesn't work like that because um he's a fourthdimensional, fifth dimensional. He's an infinitely dimensional being, at least per the definition of people who are religious. And so if he's infinitely dimensional, you can't pin him down like that. Yeah, David, that's a great question. Seriously, David's got a great question. So, was the deer sinful? And that's why I said the Christian explanation is magical. It's saying sin permeates everything like a disease. That's the only explanation that I've seen in the Christian

perspective. In Islam, it's up to us to figure out disease and disaster. We have to confront our hubris. Our purpose in life is to pursue knowledge and understanding and realize eventually we can never understand. Okay. Well, I'm not sure if that says anything. I mean, that's just it's a it's kind of a poetic statement, but I'm not quite sure what it means. Uh OK Mr. fish says, I think Okconor's point was that sin tactically tact tacitly has intentionality behind it that the deer disease doesn't have. Right. Exactly. And I see that's the thing is I agree with Okconor's um objection to the Christian argument that well sin is just the absence of love and you need you need sin basically because of free will and if you want love you need free will and you necessarily have sin therefore sin causes pain. And it's like, well, the only thing that works is that sin exudes a almost magical disease

like a Brandon Sanderson novel where it just it's like spreading spreading through the world and it just it just causes pain, which that's what I believe. I'm just saying I can I can be the first to admit it doesn't make mechanical sense. Does that make sense? Okay. So, we've got all we've got all of our turrets here. All right, I got to generate some GUIDs. Oh my goodness. We had 16 to generate. Um, we got a bunch of cannons. This is good. This is good. Every

action has an equal and opposite reaction. Everything needs an impulse or an impetus unless it's outside of nature's laws. If an atheist said that, and I know a lot of you are atheists in the chat, and I love you. If an atheist is willing to say that, if they're willing to say there's something else that imp that that that was the impetus for the big bang or the impetus for this universe's just uh initiation, and it's outside of this dimension, then I'm like, wait, I think we're on the same page, at least on a very abstract level. Um Josh says in the deer example, the sin would come from the driver. There's not always a there is not always an origin of sin, though. For example, if a deer trips and falls and impales his leg

on a on a on a stick in the middle of Nebraska, which by the way is probably happening right now because there's that many deer. There's no sin there. So, as a Christian, it's important for Christians to admit they can't answer it other than saying there's something magical there. There's something magical. It's like Sprin, don't you love this stuff, Josh? In Tuck, atheists believe there, this is from Tuck. Atheists believe there was a start of the universe, but don't know what started it. Well, Tuck Mack, I what my point is is that I'm fine with them saying that as long as they can say, well, there needs to be something else outside of the system, outside of this dimension that was the causation. Um, it just needs to be it it needs to be extradimensional. I think

that's the only thing that I I feel like I need in the argument. Is it extra dimensional? If it's extradimensional, then boom, we're good. We can agree. And we'll agree to disagree that Jesus is God and that God is extra that that my definition of God is completely different than yours. We can agree that that's different. But an extra extradimensional start or awake function or something that creates it to me is kind of necessary. Oh, Josh is throwing down the book of Job. I love [Laughter] that. All right, we've got all these turret cannons, but for some reason, their GUIDs are all screwy. Hold on. Let's see here. Yeah, look at that. The GUIDs. We got to Ah, we got to search for duplicates. Solve GUID. There we go.

22. Oh, Mary, we've got 22 duplicated GUIDs. We need to go to floor two and fix it because we didn't know that no one created God. Tuck bag says, "Who is Jesus talking to in Gethsemane when he asked for God to take his cup?" Okay, give me the verse. Who was Jesus talking to in Gethsemane when he asked for God to take his cup? Oh, you're arguing for the the the lack of divinity of Christ. Well, then there's a ton of verses where Jesus separates himself from the father. Like, you could throw out a ton of those. I mean, he blatantly says that they're separate, but he also says, "I am." Could it be? Could it be that the trinity is diff is uh is separate but equal? That it's the same

and it's not the same? What do they call that? Superposition. Could it be? Could it be that God is fully God and fully man? All right, let's go ahead and duplicate our GUIDs. Solve GUI duplication. We've got three of them. Yay. Well, that's not good. We don't want the elevator to have a new GU ID. I guess it doesn't matter. Um, yeah, that does matter actually. Let's go to our elevator and fix that. Okay, revert all. So, it's this right here that has a new GU ID. So, I'm going to revert that. The mesh renderer, we don't Yeah. No, we're going to keep that.

I'm fine with that. Let's go to floor uh three, which guys, we got to be really careful with our GUIDs here. Thomas, what is a GUID? It's a um it's a unique ID that's for a game object so that it can be saved. You can't save things unless there's some way to identify the object and put it into the save system. Gordon Arbor says it proves it doesn't have to be your sin that caused the pain. But that wouldn't have happened to Job if sin didn't exist. Well, but yes. So, Job was Job's um Job's pain was initiated by not necessarily Satan, but some adversary and that adversary initiates Job's pain and then um but it was approved by uh God himself. So, you've got God going, "Yeah, sure. Go ahead, adversary. go screw up his life and cause pain and disease and all this stuff. So, I mean, I don't I'm not sure what

your point is, Gordon, but is is is the adversary is this is the dark spiritual realm of evil is it pushing the deer over the cliff and causing it to get hurt? Are we talking about religions of gamedev? We could talk about the last testament, but let's just talk about gamedev. No thanks. This is my stream. We'll talk about what I want. Um, solve GUI duplication for this one. No duplicates found. I will say though, if we go to elevator, come for gamedev. Stay for philosophical discussion. Oh my goodness. We have an elevator script here that's broken. Let's go to the elevator panel. Let's see. Let's see what what's different about this. Oh my goodness. We've got a ton of weird

stuff. The GUID is all changed. We got to revert this baby. This is not good. We're going to revert this whole thing. Revert all. I think we're okay. Floor two. GameDev is an allegory of religion. It's a thousand%. There is nothing closer to God than gamedev. I'm being completely serious. By the way, what I'm doing right now is literally what Genesis 1 and 2 described. Um, pretty close. Why does this have striped wallpapers? Revert all. No, thank you. Gh, this is gross. Let's go to floor one and double

check the uh elevator here. We're getting some weird stuff with the elevator prefabs. Don't trust me to make a planet yet. Oh, we've got a weird arch here. That's fine. Looks like we don't have tons of changes here with this prefab. So, I think we're okay. Let's go to floor negative 2 and see if there's any issues here. It's weird. This from Tuck. It's weird how humans inherently want to create things. Yeah, for sure. I totally agree. Um, we just want to make stuff, you know. Um, well, we've got some a bunch of changes here and I'm not sure what they are. I would say potentially it's the GUIDs and we we really don't want that. So, we're going to revert all those as well. And then we're going to go to floor negative uh three ah negative 1. I'm so sorry. We're going to revert these

elevator changes as well. Thomas, do you have thoughts on my thoughts? This from Jackson. Let's see what Jackson said. Interesting thought. If sin is doing what God doesn't want you to do, and we can only do it because of free will, which he gave us, then he created a system that allows sin. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I have no problems with that. I don't even know. I don't think most evangelicals, Protestants, Catholics would disagree with that either. The system, yes, 100% allows for sin. I don't I don't see how you get around that. Um, okay. Let's let's revert these changes as well. No, we're good there. Okay, so that's good. Um, let's go to floor four now. Floor 4 is is such a strange floor. I'm tempted to make all of the wallpaper of this level look like back rooms because it's like this strange uh like putt putt course. I won't show you everything, but it's like

a really strange putt putt course and I want it to feel really really nauseating to be completely honest. I want it to feel nauseating. Um, what else we got here? I love talking religion. Uh, just because we can doesn't mean we have to. Jackson, would you say it's possible for a human being to not do evil things? It is Is it in our DNA? This is serious question, Jackson, and for all of you. Is it possible for those of you with a Christian, Islamic or Jewish worldview, is it possible for human beings to do everything perfect? Is it are we capable of it? Look at all this crap here that changed for the elevator. Oh my goodness. Do it. Do it. Did it. What? I

see. Oh, let's go to floor three and double check that. So, it's not possible. So, God is demanding perfection from something that can't be perfect. So, his demands are unfair. So God's demands are unfair. Let's solve for guid. So God's demands are unfair because if you're not able If you're not able to be perfect, then the Christian God is

unfair. I want you to solve that. Tuck Mack, if it's a short verse, just paste it in the chat. So God only God can be perfect yet he demands perfection from his created from his creation. So somehow that's fair. By the way, I'm being devil's advocate. Yeah, we got a huge problem here, guys, which is like we're generating all these GUIDs here for these freaking elevator and I'm just like done

with it. I don't I like Do they really need their own GUIDs? I'm going to revert all of these. Yeah, revert selected. How's that? Gh, this is all so gross. I hate this. Okay, that's that's reverted. This is such a problem, though. Like, if we go to floor three, watch. Let's go to floor three. God doesn't demand us to be perfect. It depends on what you what religion you follow. M, what what religion are you? It's a elevator. Look. See? So, this right here, all I really need to do, guys, actually, is I just need to change that out to this. That's all I need to do. So, I don't think this

is actually going to be a big pain. Just like this. Um, there we go. That's about it. Do not do the disbelievers not realize that the heavens and earth were once This is from Tuck Mack from the Quran Quran. I think I said that right. Do the disbelievers not realize that the heavens and earth were once one mass when we split them apart and we created from water every living thing. Will they then not believe? So tug, I'm not sure what you're saying, but you're arguing from a place of authority that is you have an authority in the Quran. I do not. So you can give me verses all you want. I could just all I can say is well I just don't believe the Quran. I'm just I'm just saying that's what people would say. They they'd read that and they would go, "Well, I don't believe the Quran, so what do you want me to What am I supposed to say?" That's why I don't think it's good. I don't think it works to just I don't think it works to just throw out verses to people who aren't

your religion. It's just it doesn't work. Um there because it's not an authority for them, so they're not going to listen. Um, Jay Stewart says, "I'm trying to say that it was the idea of sa that Satan wanted to be the one with all the answers and thought his way would be the only way we'd follow." Um, not sure. Asai Dev says because in the same instance you sin, you can repent for your actions. He knows what happened and he knows why we are the way we are and what we have to do to stay alive. I can't get out of there. Hold on. Sharers Rod says, "Hey Thomas, please consider adding music to the background. We also work watching your streams. There's something called

Spotify. You can open it up right now and turn on some of your own music. Majid Alis Sulli says, "I'm a Muslim and I think God doesn't demand us to be perfect context. Illiterate man in his 40s being told by Gabriel about the big bang and evolution. Fun to think about not Oh. Oh, you're just saying it's fun to think about Tuck Mack. That's cool. Yeah, that is cool. I like that. Well, no, we're not arguing with Tuck. I Tuck back, I'm not arguing with you. I I I wasn't arguing with you. I was just saying I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Um but it's my now that I understand what you're saying, it's mindbending. Yeah. Um I agree with you 100%. Um okay, what am I doing? Well, we had this whole issues all whole issue with all these different elevators. So, we're going to start from the very beginning

because I know for a fact I'm I'm screwing up all the different elevators. So, we're going to save everything um and start back from the very beginning here and make sure all of our elevators are correct. We have this elevator here. Let's see what kind of overrides it has. The mesh render is the only thing. It also has this arc and I'm not sure what that one is. If I revert it, what happens? Yeah, it's nothing. Okay, so floor two. What I want, guys, I want the elevator to always be the same prefab, but I just want its mesh to be a little bit different. Um, okay. Let's go to the elevator here. Good. Okay, it's right here. That's not horrible, you know. I don't mind it. Um, but I think it'd be best to to take this wallpaper here and just drag it right there. That's that's the only change we need for this prefab here.

Assad Dev Asah Dev says, "I picked up the Action Bible comic book. It covers everything." Guys, I'll tell you, for those of you who don't read the Bible, it seems so cringe. I get it. It's so cringe. But the older I get with kids and with a life in a family, it's just like the less and less cringe and the more and more I'm like, "Holy crap, this is like the craziest thing I've ever read in my life." And every like everything in the world, even like an apple, feels less true than the Bible. It's so It's weird. It's just weird. I I just don't I don't think any religious text should be just thrown out. This is stupid. I think you need to look at stuff that's been alive for so long and you say, "What is this?" Like, "Why is this thing so alive?" And it's been here for so long. What Why is this

thing in every hospital bed, in the drawer of every hotel? You know, it's just weird. It's just really interesting and I think I think the uh the west especially is so hungry for religion and they they find it in other things like their political factions. They find it in social media. They find it in their their software. They find it in their like Unity versus GDAU versus Unreal. It's like how about how about you just go like choose a religion and don't be so religious about your software, you know? Uh people like to find religion in all sorts of things and I I I think there's something there. Um I think that it means that people are religious in their nature. They crave to serve something. They they crave to serve a community. They they crave to be part of a community. They crave to understand why they're here.

Um they they crave all of that. And um could it be could it be that there's actually something to it? You know, could it be that it's not just stupid or as Richard Dawkins would say, uh this it's just a spaghetti monster in the sky? Could it be that it's way more than that? and that there that you should probably respect um you should probably respect religion a little bit more because maybe there's something there. I'm also not arguing for universalism because I'm not a universalist. I'm saying if something had something is in embedded in culture for thousands of years, perhaps there's more to it than

just it's just a fairy tale. Ain't this fun, guys? I know some of you are like, "What what are we doing in this stream? What is this?" I get it. I understand. It's kind of weird. This has been a fun stream though. But we were placing turrets. Um guys, has anyone seen the new Snow White? Let's hear about your thoughts on the new Snow White. Go. And if you haven't seen it, you're not allowed to talk about it. That's the rule. If you haven't seen it, you're not allowed to talk about it. Let's start with the people who've seen it. How is it? Okay, so we have no cannons on floor

4 for some reason. I don't know why. Is this the old floor 4? Oh, there's no cannons because this level is the upside down golf course. And I think it would be annoying if there were cannons, maybe. So, let's go to floor five here. All right. What we're doing is we're all hanging out, working on our projects. That's right. Uh, let's see if there's any turrets on floor five. Wow, there's no turrets on floor five or floor six or floor 4. So officially we need to add turrets on floor. I'm not going to put turrets on floor. Oh man, this is going to be hard. We need to do we need to do machine guns, dude. Yes, Tuck Mack. 1,000%. Tuck

says that about the pyramids that just came out so freaking cool. I've been saying civilization had a massive reset about 12,000 years ago. U Gordon Arbor says it's really interesting in your thoughts on Snow White Thomas. Well, in the voice of Jordan Peter, no, I think that Snow White has a deeper meaning and it's it's there's a reason why it's again it it comes down to things like fables, things like mythology, things like epics, things like fantasy novels that have lasted for a hundred years. Uh um it's it's things like um biblical texts, even the Quran, even though I don't agree with it, um where it's like there's a reason why they lasted so long. And so I get annoyed when Disney tries to remake The Fable when it's like, man, but the Fable's so special the way

it is. My I think my dad was talking or not my dad, my brother was talking about why Snow White was so special. Um, it's about when a when a when a motherly figure comes in and cleans up broken men. That's that's what Snow White's all about. It's about this beautiful um motherly figure who comes in and teaches the dwarves how to be mature and to grow up. And uh the same is true with Wendy in Peter Pan as well. And and I don't know, it's like why would you why would you throw that out, you know? Let's go full YounP. Um yeah, I I just I I'm like, man, these stories are so special. Like Pinocchio, I like the Del Toro Pinocchio, but I'm like I'm not so sure that it it hung it clung to the themes

correctly. Um, but I understand if you want to if you want to screw up a story and play with it, sure. You know, but it's like, well, get ready for people not to like it, you know, they're not allowed to like it. Um, so floor five, floor six. Okay, so we need turrets. I'm going to start with turrets on floor four. Okay, I guess I'm willing to let you guys see uh stuff with this level. It's really difficult though because it flips upside down and so man I don't even know where to begin. So there's floor five and there's floor five flipped which floor five flipped is I believe floor five. So if we just put the turrets there. Um yeah. Okay. So basically the flipped one is a

duplicated prefab and it's upside down. Um so it just works really slow. So I don't want to see let's do normal gray. Okay. Let's go to it. It's really slow though because it's this massive level inside of a prefab. So what I'm going to do Okay, so this one's flipped. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to put turrets. I'm just going to distribute turrets throughout floor 5. Man, this sucks though because why is it upside down by default? It should be upright H. This is tough. Where are we going to put these turrets?

Yeah, Tuck Mack says basically is saying the Torah and the Bible are also the word of God. Well, you know, this is my struggle with that, Tuck Mack. I believe that the the Quran and the Bible are contradictory. So, that's my struggle. It's like if they contradict each other, then how could they be from something perfect? Um, okay. So, let's see. And I understand what your argument would be, which is Christ doesn't actually claim he's divine, blah, blah, blah. And I'm my argument is yes, he does. So, like I don't understand how you can read what Jesus said in the Gospels and not come to the conclusion that he thinks he's divine. Okay. Well, let's do these freaking turrets. This is tough. My theory is just go ahead and uh yeah. Okay, let's go to floor five. My theory

uh the the one that's not flipped. My theory is just put the turrets in cool spots and we'll tweak it later. I don't want to put them in the golf course sections. So, we can do one like right there. But that you got to make sure. Let's start from the very beginning. A very good place to start. When you read, you begin with ABC. When you sing, you begin with dome. Do me. The first two letters are do me. Okay. I'm I'm I'm looking for a good spot to put the turret. Okay. So, chill. Um right here. Yeah, I could put it here. That's cool. The first two notes are [Music] do. So then we're going to do an enemy

machine gun. Jay Stewart says the only thing I can say is that when Jesus followers start to worship him, he asks them not to. He said only to the father. Gordon. Gordon, you know the answer to that one. Can you can you give me the scripture there? Gordon, you know this one. That's why so that's why you don't think he is God, but you do think he is son. Messiah says he is divine, but he's not the divine humans should worship. He's proof of God existing. God or Yahw Yahawah or Yahweh is the one we need to worship. Okay, let's go. Uh we have a turret. machine gun. We have a turret chain gun here that we're going to put on. Man, I've been moving slow today, guys. It's your

fault. It's not my fault. You guys want to talk about this. Yeah, Tuck, you know, that's that's the argument that also um uh Judaism argues which is Jesus was amazing. He just wasn't God. So that's that that is why in my opinion Jesus is very clearly states he is divine. And if he does that then that man is that a disagreement with that that's in direct. It's not in conflict. It's not in conflict with the Old Testament. Um, but it is in conflict with the Quran. So, there's one

turret. Well, Gordon, I don't know if that one works. Matthew 1:23, um, Jesus is called Emanuel, which means God with us. I don't really know if that works. I mean, couldn't you say that all couldn't you say that David um in a way was God with us? Couldn't you say that um Joseph uh in the Old Testament was God with us? Couldn't you say that Moses was? Um but Gordon says John 1:14, Jesus is the word who was with God and who was God and who became flesh. The Jehovah's Witnesses have a different version of John 1:1, which is in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and he was a God. Um, but I agree with I Gordon, I do agree with that translation which is in the beginning was the word aka the architect, the coder. In the beginning was the coder and the coder was with God and he was God. Also Jesus says, "I am." Which is

why the Pharisees tried to stone him. Um he he literally says before, what does he say? Before Moses was I am. It's not a grammatical slip of the tongue. All right, let's uh let's get to work here. What are we doing? Um, we got to get to work, guys. Uh, Alex says, "How I'm curious how this topic started." It It tends to happen during live streams. I'm religious, so um, it's just normal for me to talk about it. It's in my blood. I I I love talking about God and Christianity and religion, stuff like that. It's a lot of fun.

Man, this is this is certainly slow moving though because I think auto save. Let's turn that off. I think that's why it's got so slow here. Yes. Okay. Okie dokie. That's why I was like, why is it so slow? It's because it's autosaving the prefab. I do agree with you, Gordon, that we're spoiling too much here. So, I'm going to at least turn the lighting off and turn on maybe the alb the Let's see here. Man, maybe we need to do like a wireframe, you know, for now. Okay, so we got one chain gun there. Man, that's not going to work though. I want to learn why is it important to you for Jesus to be God himself? Well, first off, it's not important to me. I think that's what scripture says. So, if some if something says that and I and I believe that

scripture is from the word of God, first off, that's what it says. So, therefore, you got to come to terms with it. Uh, number two, why why do I think it's important that Jesus is God? Well, the whole point of Christianity that what what Christians believe is they believe that uh sin separates you from God. Therefore, um the only way to, you know, be with God is to be perfect. And the only way to be perfect is to be cleaned. And the blood of a perfect lamb is the only way for it to be for for the only way the for some reason the equation of salvation is something like the the blood of a of a of a a something perfect. Something perfect is the only way to cleanse you. And so for something to be perfect, um it needs to be divine. It needs to be it needs to be perfect. And there's no there's nothing that's perfect except for God. Um it's interesting though. I found this so interesting. A lot of people um have trouble with the idea that why would God sacrifice his son?

He's a psychopath. And um it's really interesting because Abraham, remember when Abraham takes Isaac up to um the mountain and God says, "Okay, I want you to sacrifice your son." And um let's let's continue down here. Abraham, how many of you have son a son? Um Abraham was just just broken and devastated that God told him to sacrifice his son. And Abraham would probably, how many of you agree with this? Would rather die than sacrifice their own son. Right? And so it's not that God is a psychopath for sacrificing his son. It's that it's the most um it's the most painful thing for a loving entity to do to give up its only firstborn son. There is

nothing more painful than that. And so it's almost like God said,"I want to give I want to show you how much I love you by giving you or by g by giving up the most valuable treasure to me." Now that doesn't work with me. If the son is not as valuable as the father, it doesn't work for me. It makes sense that the sacrifice was painful to God if in a sense that entity was God himself. So he's he's equal in um value, but he's also the son. Does that make sense?

How do you float around the scene like this in edit mode? No, you just you just press shift and then ASWD and you fly around. Um I like the turret here. Is this a Is this a uh What is this room? I've never been in this room, actually. But I do like the idea of a turret being there. Um, so that's fine. We're going to do one there. I think that's good. Let's keep going through. Do you guys see what I I'm not sure if it's too abstract, but I am as valuable as my father. We're both of human DNA. If my father were to be told that I should die, that would be more painful for for him than for himself to say, "Well, I'll die." A father, most fathers

would love to die over seeing their own son die. And so that's why for me when Jesus says I when Jesus well when Jesus speaks of the father or speaks of himself as if he is God to me it makes sense that he is of the same caliber and that he is quite literally equal with God and he is God despite being sort of in a superp position in that he's separate in the trinity. It's interesting to me and it makes sense to me because it's almost like he's like he is of equal value of God and that makes the death of God's son so much more painful for God himself. So Gordon gives us two scriptures here. Like by the way for those of you who aren't Christian or you're not religious at all you know getting getting scripture like this is completely meaningless to you and I understand that. These are more for people who say that Jesus never said he

was God. But Gordon is saying, "Well, what about John 8:11-12, which is," I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life. That's not necessarily him saying he's God. Okay. Um Gordon says, "I and the Father are one." John 10:20. You know what's funny? You can find all the answers with Grock. Uh it's so funny. Like if I want if I want Grock to argue in favor of Jesus being divine, I could do it for you right now. And it would it would just be like, oh um um but I don't want to do that. I don't want to do that. Alex height says uh a lot of this makes more sense when you understand the best theories of the atonement man. Um the the atone the atonement and the equation for salvation. the the the reason why there needs to be sacrifice. The reason why there needs to be divine blood, the reason why there needs to be divine blood to cleanse you and to clean

you from sin. The reason why we're not allowed to be in the presence of the divine if we are not clean ourselves. All of that stuff is a an equation that is not clear. And I would argue that most Christians would probably have some kind of strange answer as to why the blood of Christ or why salvation actually is or how it functions, how it actually works. Like what's the actual code behind it? They wouldn't be able to fully articulate it. Now, no, let me let me say that again. They would articulate it, but their version would be different than someone else's. Um, why do you need to be perfect in the presence of God? That's the first question. Tuckback says God's son is God. It's too paradoxical. Well, Tuckback, if it made sense, wouldn't you start to think maybe man made it up? So, there is part of me that finds that something being okay. So, f first off,

superp position. The idea the the idea that something can be in the same place at two the idea that something can be in two places at once is paradoxical. Yet people ar physicists argue that it can happen at least theoretically. There's a lot of things theoretically that we think about extradimensionally and we're like that's okay. But when it comes to God saying I he can be multiple entities at once like why is it so strange that God can be two things at once? You know like what what why is that such a problem? Um, I find that interesting because in a way, aren't you? How many of you feel like multiple things at once? You feel like a body, but you also feel like a spirit. Some days you wake up and you feel like a different person. I am a 10-year-old or I was a 10-year-old, but that does that mean that I was never a 10-year-old because

I'm not a 10-year-old now? There's a lot of weird stuff like that where it's like if if God wants to be a man and come down as a man and serve a different function, but he can still be divine and he can still be God. Is that too is that too much? Is that too paradoxical? But I understand that that argument breaks down, you know. Um, I understand that all of these do. That's why I don't like arguing about it because it just it ultimately comes down to to faith and it also comes down to fruit. So, does that does that make sense when I say that guys? Like there's no way to convince anybody of anything. Like it's just not possible. Um, because you can't prove any where like why is it that I can't get out of this freaking room? Um. Oh, it's that

right there. Okay. All right. Why would God bother making that distinction between son and father? Well, Tuckmack, that's what I was explaining when it came to Abraham. Uh, so like all three faiths are their their core is their root is Abraham. This is this is so wonderful. Uh it's just it's just fun storytelling. So a great story has a setup and a payoff. Um so the the the story of Abraham and Isaac is strange. It's like Abraham is promised to have a son. He finally has a son. Um and through through that son is going to be you know uh Israel. And um yet God goes, "Okay, now I want you to kill that son. I mean, it's it's a full-on test

from God." And it's kind of crazy and it seems kind of spiteful if I'm being honest and and and and nasty, but sometimes God does that in at least when it comes to the Bible, like especially with Job. So Abraham takes his son to the top of the mountain and just as he's about to stab his son, God says, "Stop." And he provides another sacrifice which is a lamb. And so they kill the lamb or what is it? A lamb or is it a goat? I can't remember. Anyway, that's the front book end. That's Genesis. Then when Christ comes, what is what is what is the Christian theology? The Christian Christian theology is then Christ comes and God says, "I'm going to sacrifice my son so that you don't have to," right? So that you don't have to

experience pain, death, suffering, and the result of your problems. I'm actually going to solve that for you with my son. So it's this beautiful payoff. Setup, payoff. Set up, payoff. It's a ram. That's right, Jackson. the ram. So why does why does why first off why does God have to sacrifice his son? My theory is because there is nothing more painful than sacrificing your son. There's nothing more sacrificial. Now Jesus does say there's no greater love than to lay down one's life. My theory is is that anyone would rather lay down their life than their own sons. Right? So when God sacrifices his son, I think it's almost God choosing to go, okay, what's the what's the most loving thing I could possibly do for these people? How about I give up my own son? Then the question becomes, okay, but then does he need to be divine? Does he need to be equal in value to God? And my theory is

yes. If he's your son, yes. Otherwise, he's not your son. So it it it breaks down if Jesus isn't divine and if he's not at the same infinite value as God himself. Do you see what I'm saying? This is all theoretical and I'm just sort of BSing my way through this to be completely honest, but it's fun to talk about, you know. Okay. Well, we've got uh chain guns being added to the floors. We could do a chain gun down here as well. Maybe like one up here. Yeah, I think that would be cool. Like if we enter this right here and there's a chain like we enter this

hallway here and there's a chain gun like right up there. A chain gun turret is what I mean. So let's do that turret. Chain gun variant. Copy. Paste it inside here. And we'll do one here as well. Guys, is what I said does it make sense at all or am I just going crazy? It's certainly all metaphoric uh metaphorical and poetic. I think it was Richard Dawkins who said um like Christians can be drunk on symbols and I understand that completely. But also I think I mean isn't human existence just symbol symbols? I mean everything we value is about connectivity. Um being connected to one another um feeling connection to some purpose.

We all want to be part of a story. So if if the world if we can't rely on symbols to find meaning and purpose, I don't and then I'm like then it just feels really gray. So, Thomas, what's your PC configuration? It's a nice PC. Alex Heights says, "Was the Godhead intrinsically father, son, holy spirit before creating the universe?" Alex, that's a great question. Is God intrinsically anything? I mean, was God even intrinsically love? Because, you know, they say God is love. Well, so was love God? Was it first love and and it was God or was it God is love? You know, it's hard. It's like did was love

created because of God or was God be created because of love? So, those are those are really weird, strange, fun questions to ask that I don't have the answer to. Now, obviously, people would say, "Well, they're equal. Neither begott the other." And I'm like, "Well, you know, not necessarily. I mean, do we right? Not necessarily. Is this a arena? I think that's an arena. Okay. I mean, honestly, I think we've done enough turrets on this level. So what I can do is I can create um GUIDs for these these turrets. So let's generate GUIDs and solve for repeated ones as well. Thank you Gordon by the way for this duplication script. Thank you. And then 4x4 here. We're going to revert. Look at all this stuff that got screwed up. So we're

going to revert all that. And then we're going to go here. Put that there. And then put it again there. Select material. Where is it? This one here. Actually, it's this right here. The uh trim. Where to put that? Here. So, by the way, for those of you just joining us, uh, we're working on the elevator here. Um, we also have to do it with the other elevator as well. I'm sorry, we're working on turrets. We're adding turrets. Now, the reason why this is correlated to the elevator is because what's happening is I have to generate GUIDs for the turrets, right? But in order to do that, I also have to generate a bunch of GUIDs for the elevator. Uh, so it just causes a bunch of problems. Um, I have to

basically revert the elevator to its original state. Crap. Okay, let's look for elevator 4x4. There's two elevators actually. No, there's only one. There's only one. Uh, this is from Alex. I would say God is the definition of love. Being three perfect persons in loving harmony. God is where the concept of love comes from emits from or is love where the concept of God comes from. You know that's the thing when you equate something like that it becomes almost impossible to start talking about one thing being first. You know, Mike Jimmy says, "Do you believe do you think that the religious text could be faulty because it was transcribed by men?" Of course. Like, uh, you're going to get you're going to get translation issues, you're going to

get some translations that are better than others. Uh I think when people talk about the infallibility of the Bible, um they're talking about um honestly just the core tenants, the core the the the sentences, the the paragraphs being true. But obviously certain words are going to get screwed up and mistransated and some are missing from texts and others aren't. you know, that's just the way it is. Okay. Um well, I feel like we we got a pretty good uh let's see if these turrets are working. I'll show you guys a little bit of this level. I'm not happy to do it, but I'll do it. Hey, Thomas, would you be willing to help me polish my pitch deck to publishers? Oh my goodness. Where am I?

I should start in the elevator. Oh my goodness. You can shoot through the floor. That's so strange. I'm glad we tested it. That guy right there, he's shooting through the effing floor. Why? There's a mesh collider and he's shooting through that freaking floor. That doesn't make any sense. What is it? Because of his raycast. I think I see I think we have an issue with the raycast. James Henderson. Does anyone believe

that God in the Bible is a literal being with a physical body? I don't think anybody believes that God the Father is necessarily only a physical being. I think they think that the father is the father. the the the creator of the universe is a mystery and he manifests in different forms. For example, if God can speak through a bush to Moses, why can he not speak through a human face being Jesus, right? Why can't he possess and manifest in ways he wants? So, um, he's not a he's not a spaghetti monster. He's not a man with a big gray beard, although he could be if he wanted

to, you know. Um, so, for some reason, we're getting some weird issues with this turret. And I have a feeling that it's to do with this ray cast. Um, it has to do with the position of the raycast. There it is. Transform.position. And it's coming through the ground for some reason, which is just a real shame. Um, let's let's enter play mode to be sure again. Where does he stop? Okay, right there. Okay, he can't see me. Now he can Okay, for some reason he can see me there. And it's so strange. I don't know

why. That's because he can see through these walls. Oo boy, that's not good. Okay, I have a solution. We need to do a raycast in the other direction as well. Right. So, we need to do one here. [Music] We really need to do it in both directions, right? So, we need to do one here and one from the player as well um for it to work. There we go. and starting from the player's

position moving in the direction. Okay, how do we find H? Okay, we need direction to player and direction from player. And I I do wonder if they're the exact same thing, honestly. Um, right. I I I wonder if they're the same values. Do we think they're the same values, guys? So, if we have direction from player, we can do direction from player right here. So, if those two ray casts work, meaning one comes and hits the player, and then one emits from the player and hits the enemy, then it's like good. But the problem is is it's coming through a quad and that quad isn't double-sided. Um so the out values uh this needs to out be out hit enemy which is

here. So if those both occur and we get data and it does happen, then get an issue here with this. What is it? What's going on here? Really? Oh yeah, we can get rid of that. There we go. So, if that occurs, then do your thing. Right, guys? Now, we have an issue here. I don't know why. Uh, there we go. Make sense? Am I doing it right? No, it it's checking it. It was working last week or two weeks ago. The

problem is it's shooting through a quad. That's it. Um, it's just shooting through a quad. The raycast is going through a quad. No, it's Yeah. So, both of you, Rahul and Wrathful, uh, I understand what you're saying, but the problem is it's shooting through a quad's back face. That's all it is. So, let us double check and see if this works. So, you guys ready to test it out? Now, this will make it more, you know, I don't know why I'm spawning here. I'm gonna freaking die, dude.

Oh yeah. No, guys, this was a I had a blast with this conversation. If this was intriguing to you at all and you're like, "Wow, um, that's kind of weird what Thomas was talking about." Um, go get yourself baptized. No, read the Bible. See what you think. Okay, so he can still shoot through and he stops here. What? Okay, so he doesn't stop there, but he stops here. He's just able to shoot through walls because the raycast. But if the moment I do this, look, the raycast doesn't hit me there. So there's something going on here. Let's double check.

I can Abdo. I just I didn't want to type it. Um, what is happening? So, there's this right here. That's a I believe that this Come on, Thomas. What's going on, dude? Okay. Yep. That's a quad. It's it's a See, look, he's able to see through. So that's what he's seeing. So what I was trying to do is trying to say, look, if the player's here, shoot it back at the enemy, and if it hits the enemy, ah, yes. Okay. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. What we need to do is we need to say if hit transform equals that but also if player hit which hit enemy.transport.game A

game object is this then we're good. Does that make sense? Uh the problem is that hit enemy needs its own layer mask which is the enemy layer. Yeah. So let's go to player layer and change it to enemy. Change it. What am I saying? Player layer. Enemy layer. Man, this is tough, guys. I was really hoping I wouldn't have to do this.

All right. So, let's go to our turrets here. Let's go to the root turret, uh, which is the cannon, and we'll go to his enemy layer, which is going to be default and enemy, right? So that way the player is shooting a raycast at the enemy and the enemy is shooting a raycast at the player. If both of those equal, we're solid. You could shoot at the player.

Okay. Oh no, now it doesn't work at all. honestly it should always be coming from the player. We don't need that. We just need it to come from the player, honestly. So, really, it shouldn't be this. You shouldn't be shooting it out of You shouldn't be shooting the raycast to test and see if you can actually see the player. You shouldn't be doing it from the turret. You should be doing it from the player. Thank you, 3D Printer Academy. I'm trying my best.

Um, so we're shooting it out of the player's transformed up. Ah, look at that. We're shooting it out of the player's transformed position. The direction from the player, which is my position minus the player's position normalized. We're gonna get out data, which is hit enemy. Um, and we're going to be doing it from the enemy layer, which we're just going to call it layer. And if that data if it if we hit the enemy and it hits the turret, um, now I will say I'm not sure. Yeah, it doesn't have a collider. So, it should be my parent. Getting hot in here. transform.game

object.transform.parent. Couldn't we just do transform.parentgame object? There we go. If the raycast emits from the player and it hits the turret, the turret sees you. Um, and but it can it only wants to check its own self, which is an enemy layer. Let's see. Let's double check here. It's all set to enemy. Good. That is set to enemy. Good. So therefore, we just say default, which is it's going to hit walls. The raycast is going to hit walls. It's also going to hit the enemy. It's going to hit itself and it's going to come from the player. Uh if that's the case, then it can see the player and it will begin

shooting. Um Okay. [Music] [Music] mother. No, I want turrets anywhere. anywhere and everywhere. All right. So, something's wrong with our code here. You guys want to analyze this. We're going to do direction from player. Good. We get this normalized data. That's fine. Hit enemy is the out data. If Okay, so here's we're shooting from the player. The direction from the

player. We're hitting the the data that we're going to get out of this is hit enemy data. And we're going to get um the detection radius. That's good. And then the layer if we hit if the data we get is the enemy. Well, let's let's debug what the enemy the data is. It might be the player, but it shouldn't be. It It doesn't need to collide with the player. Yeah, let's let's print it out. I hit plus and then let's do the data.

Hit enemy.t transansform.game object this.transform.par parent.game object. Yeah, let's see what it's hitting. It might actually be hitting something else, but honestly, it should be hitting this, right? which is my parent right there. Right. So, I'm not sure what it thinks it's hitting, but let's let's print it out. So, let's go over here and take a look. I hit pillar Victorian round. I hit grapple target. I hit good. And remember, it's emitting from the player, not the turret. Now I hit polyshape. I

hit polyshape. Polyshape 32, which is what? Okay. So, for some reason, it's hitting this, which is the the world. It's hitting the world. So, I'm not sure why that's happening. I My theory is it's come it's because of the position. What is it doing? What is it doing? Oh man, what is it doing, guys? Let's double check its layers.

I'm glad we found this glitch because I thought the turrets were just fine the way they were, but apparently they're not. That's set to default. That was said to enemy and it's default and enemy. So I don't know why the raycast I I wish I could see it. Debugging a raycast is so freaking annoying because you have to do a whole new raycast for the

print. All right, we'll see where it is. We'll keep our game view here and the scene view here and see where the raycast is. [Music] Where am I? Oh, let's turn on gizmos. There we go. There it is.

Look. I told you I was right. Okay. So, we need to ah yes, we need its its position. That's so freaking hilarious. Look, the box collider. It's not It's Wait, what? Why is that happening, guys? Why is it ignoring it? What? Okay. It needs to be set to everything for some reason. So that's the ignore layer. Um not the receive layer. Uh so for some reason, I don't know why. I mean, maybe it's because we need to do this. Do we really need to do that? Is that

going to be the issue the solution? Yeah. Raycasts are like everything. Um I saw a blind person in Disney World and they were using It was awesome. They they were doing so good. It was so cool. They were using their stick. I was like, "That's a raycast. Whoa. I just committed suicide. Yeah, let's let's clear out the um let's see if this works now. Okay, so for some reason I got spawned in a really weird spot. By the way, those just joining us, just remember to check out FullTime GameDev

below. Uh, FullTime GameDev is going to teach you everything that I've learned in the last decade of making indie games full-time. Um, and, uh, 25% off, I'm sorry, 40% off for the spring sale.

So check it out below and if you're a student, let me know in the chat what you think about the program. All right, guys. Um, where's the turret? He's right there. So, let's test it out first. We'll do it up here. Was I right? I think I was I think I was right that you don't want it emitting from the enemy. You want it emitting from the player. Crap. What the hubris Thomas? Look.

Ah, got it. Yeah, for some reason that didn't work. Actually, I I I don't know. I don't know what's happening. Um, not sure what's going on with these turrets. Um, the moment I set it to everything, we're good. Ain't that weird?

Uh, no, it's not that. I'm going to set it to everything and see what happens. you know. All right.

So curious as to why I can shoot through those, you know. I think I need to change their collision. Oh, I know why. Okay, so that worked. I don't know why, but we're just going to set the layer mask to everything. Um, we'll figure it out. All right. Well, we need to finish that up. But, um, are plasmids in this game? No.

No. All right, fellas, ladies and gentlemen. Had a blast with you today. Check out the fulltime game spring sale below.
