"Which allowed me to turn my terrible ideas into terrible results at an unprecedented rate" - The best quote of 2020 so far
Except this guy is not terrible, in fact the amount of cool stuff he made at a young age is amazing.
@@pendragon7600 Ik, it's annoying because I know at that age I could just about write the line "java -Xms2G -Xmx3G -jar server.jar nogui"
@@vcokltfre lol minecraft
I mean, everyone has to start somewhere, he just proves that the bad results can become great content
@@vcokltfre Yep I agree... I'm currently 15 and the best thing I've made to date is a logic simulator which doesn't work. pretty crap if you ask me, while this guy's out here getting recognised by pewdiepie
ok mr prodigy, while you were wasting your time "coding" and "animating" i built a pretty big dirt castle in minecraft, so yeah...
Hilariously underrated
xD I'm making minecraft
I am a red stone engineer
But i think minecraft is good for teaching you engineering thinking
@Vampire Of DeathMoon I'm not even using unity, in fact, I'm using something that is a lot harder. Roblox. The amount of optimizations it requires in absurd. Instead of creating a single world mesh(it doesn't support it) im forced to save the world gen data, then go through all the blocks and convert them to different sections of cubes, and I even had to create my own raycast code lol
Plot Twist: he is still a 12 year old kid just pitches down his voice to sound manly
Kidz Vidz has been making games since the age of 2

Dust bruh, it’s a joke. Nice try tho
@@Loading-tr7yv i misread your comment i thought it said 12
Dust oh yeah, then it would be a whoosh!
Fantastic progress man, so cool to see how you have evolved! Looking forward to future coding adventures :)
Thanks Dani :)
ayyy dani
I Watch your Videos Dani
Is it just me or who's older? u or sebastian?
do you 2 know eachother?!
I am only 24 and I always assumed this god among men, Sebastian Lague, was older than me with his vast wisdom and skill.
Am 29 and am pretty sure the thought "one day I'll do what he does" crossed my mind recently. ( ͡° ʖ̯ ͡°)
Dude same. I'm 24 and I always thought he would be much older being so good at everything lol
Same. It's so sad seeing younger people being so much better at stuff.
@@MrKohlenstoff Exact same boat, friend.
My mind was blown when he said he was 12 in 2010, I was starting college in 2010. That means someone in middle schoo/ high school was helping me with my college programming projects.
moral of the story:
as soon as you have any vague idea of what you want to be doing, start doing it immediately
so hard to take the first step though
@@talesofyoyo that's the good part
after the first step it gets easier and easier to keep going
I started doing tons of math, programming, and music composition when I was young. Now, all of it is second nature (math at least up to a select few abstract subjects, almost all applied subjects). It feels good to have a couple skills that I know I have, and I know I am good with them, and I know how much more I really know now than how much I did when I first started. It feels good.
OH SHIT
OK OK OK I NEED PAPER I'LL BE BACK IN A COUPLE OF YEARS
But ways start small before starting bog projects.
Me at thirteen: * Looking at cube in unity* "Why isn`t this call of duty yet?"
I would like to share a word with you:
Underrated.
Floris Bastiaan y e a
It is very motivating to see how you have progressed in your ability to make 3d models and programming. I really admire your work and many things you have shared have helped me.
Thanks, I'm happy my videos have been helpful!
Your channel icon looks very similar to Sebastian's one.
@@superposition2644 it's true. 😂
Meanwhile there's me who hasn't accomplished half as much even though I went to high school specifically for programming and modeling.
Problem is teachers come and go and each do something else, so I went from one language to another then another and then changed everything next year.
And also the first year was nothing but basic subjects from grade school
@@SebastianLague Ah nice to see another Ableton user :)
I love how your pitch-shifted 13 year old self sounds almost exactly like your true voice now.
How do we know he isn't doing that anymore?
:0
@@jakomerila9354 he is forever 13
Unless?
Coincidence? I think not.
Never finishing projects...
*Everyone related to that*
I have about 20 git repos of unfinished projects that got nowhere. Can relate 100%
I have been programming for about 1 year and a half, my skills are job worthy no doubt but I lack projects. I always end up 3 quarters done then decide to scrap it all and redo it better... I never end up with a finish project..
@@love.ly. Me on my game. I've redone the networking code 4 times now. Finally *think* I'm going to stick with this version
It just plain never fun dealing with publishing your finished projects so why bother?
@@rowanr-m2373 Did you rewrite it again? lol
the david attenborough of game development
Hah! Good one. 😆
At least he's stopped using the pitch bender (hasn't he?) Or else he'd be the Iggy Pop of game development.
Attenborough: "If we look closely, we can see the developer attempting to find what he believes is the last bug of the day. Little does he know, there is great danger lurking just around the corner. For this is no ordinary bug. This... is an off by one error, introduced to his codebase from a Stack Overflow post... dated February 2014. The developer is in for quite the shock when he spots his array... being read not twice, but three times... and of course, just before the print statement that he has so haphazardly used for debugging. For now... we watch... and we wait... for we will be given a rare glimpse into the demise of yet another developer."
So true 😂😂
5:57 absolute gold
“A game that is about making potato salad”
Mhmmm, I see...
Let’s just slaughter a pig and have Pigmen with shotguns walk out of an inter-dimensional portal.
Well now I just feel bad about wasting my childhood thinking "what if" instead of actually doing
I was always working with redstone in Minecraft, later I turned to commands and datapacks and now I am on the same path as Sebastian. I too am working on a highschool project, I chose to make a 3d planetary sized game (a bit like kerbal space program) and It is going quite well.
Edit: I do not make videos, so not completely on the same path as Sebastian :)
You've come a really long way dude. Pretty damn inspiring honestly
HALLOOO
Crazy to find out that we're the same age. I remember using your tutorials in my second last year of high school when I was first getting into programming. So strange to think that you were the same age when you made them. Now I'm finishing up my undergrad and plan on going into software dev. Thanks for the help early on and keep doing what you do! 🙂
"ALL downhill from here", at that altitude it doesn't even matter
Love your content and watching your Story. One Thing that stuck with me, even if you only mentioned it in passing, was how your Parents supported you on your Journey early on. Your Mom helping with those Stop Motion Movies, your Father even going so far to enlist a Student to help you progress...where other parents maybe wouldn`t even realize how deep your urge for understanding/learning was, or try to stir you in another Direction. Its a great lesson in parenting.
I remember quite a while back, I made an HTML tutorial and I was so conscious of my voice- but I decided to upload it anyway, and got nothing but positive feedback from some wonderful people.
honestly the coding adventures are just so interesting to watch and I hope we see more in the future
Give it 10 years
nice work man, i hope you keep making games and get your big break.

yea I used to play this game a lot, knowing he who made this game is a surprise
Right?!? I watched most of the videos he mentioned here and I never really followed him.
no dude, that is pewdiepie
I've assumed you're a good 10 years older than based solely on your skill level. Love your videos, especially the later ones where you experiment with things. Keep it up!
If only more people had your type of work ethic and ambition.
Most most people, including myself, just stop at, “Huh, that’s cool!” when they see something interesting that they want to try.
But you take it so many steps further. You do the research and study and practice the things that can help you to do it yourself.
Studying scientific research papers to learn how to program your own physics and lighting engines absolutely blows my mind.
I always look forward to your work!
It always makes me a little sad to see how much progress you go through especially now that I know what you could do at younger ages while Im still not motivated enough to put the effort to finish multiple projects (ive only really finished two). Yet your videos are still incredibly inspiring and motivating, and I know I shouldnt compare myself to ithers, so thanks a lot fir making tutorial creation your living, you're helping out a bunch of people including me and we're all grateful for the content and humor!
Feels.
you had 10x my skills at the age of 13, damn I am bad
keep learning and improving !
@@arcanis9619 My life consists of procrastination and being sad because I procrastinate.
@@elythas128 try to find a way to enjoy the learning. Once you do, you will procrastinate on other things by working on your skills
@@elythas128 I feel you. Try to read some books about time-management, personal development, etc.
There's always a solution
@@arcanis9619 Thanks
Your "Coding Adventures" series is by far my preferred one on the whole youtube platform as every time I you upload a new episode I get so hyped about it. The quality of those is insanely good and your ideas are even better.
Pls keep doing what you enjoy doing :) !
The 'Prototypes' actually looked quite amazing.
One of the first things that got me hooked on this channel is your voice lol. It so calm and relaxing its easy to pay attention to your videos! Always enjoy watching your videos!
You are such a huge inspiration for me to continue learning game development thank you for your videos and keep up the good work!
I've been eating up your content for the past few months and I can't get enough! When I was a lot younger and just getting into game dev, Unity was such an enigma and I eventually dropped it and moved to GameMaker for 3 or 4 years. Your tutorials and coding adventures are at such an incredible quality that it inspired me to get back into it now that I actually know how programming works. Every project you post to this channel is something I didn't know I wanted to see done, I could watch for hours! Just joined on Patreon because I can't wait to see what you do next.
Here's to another great decade!
Thank you!
@@SebastianLague I can second this Seb. I've been following you for years watching on and off, but the coding adventures are fantastic. I love the idea of exploring a concept and see where it leads. You don't have to be an expert to discover something new.
This is so awesome! Thank you for making this video. I feel motivated and excited to start trying game development out again after putting it on hold for a year!
I love to see this types of videos. It shows the progress in a super real manner and it shows that perseverance and studying pays off. Cheers man!
I'm 18 and feel like I'm already behind in life oops
you were working at 15 doing what you wanted that's crazy
Same, but remember: The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now. And dont compare yourself to others too much, just focus on were you are now and then decide where to go and learn from there. Otherwise, you will set your expectations too high and you will get frustrated too fast. Let your interests guide you and pick a small project at first, then you automatically will find more interesting concepts that are aligning with your current skill level.
@@SETHthegodofchaos Totally agree with you
I'm 40.
@@Peak_Stone Hi 40, im dad
@@Tom-ll5qw muffin time
You're the man Seb! Taught me a lot over the years and I really appreciate it.
Just wanted to say thanks for all the videos, you've helped alot of people providing not just solutions but inspiration and motivation to keep on trying. Thank you and cheers to another decade!
This brought me back to my early days of learning how to program. I was lucky to get a programming job right out of high school, but that also put a halt to my hobby projects. As the years go by, it gets harder and harder to find time and motivation outside of work. It's awesome that you've found a way to combine the two worlds. Keep making these great videos!
I've been around since your early days and still watch (And like) every video you make. Even though I've been retired from programming for several years I still keep up. IMO you've always been the best and are now far superior to any others in this field. Thanks for everything Sebastian!
It's been a lot of fun following your progress over the years and I'm really looking forward to seeing what you make next 😊
Love your videos! I’ve been kind of binging them and it’s gotten me more into coding and game development, thanks for all the free stuff you make!
the part about lowering the pitch of the voice is so relatable. Im 14 myself and am very self conscious of my voice as I am really squeaky.
Aqua Armour :O same
I’m 15 and one of my friends still has a really high pitch voice. We always get him to do funny stuff like when people ask if he’s a girl he will go along with it. Also if you kill someone being toxic just say “a squeaker is better than you” and they will either get really mad which is always super funny or they will stop talking.
I mean same but opposite, I'm 14 too and I actually have an unusually deep voice compared to people in my friend group anyway. IDK though to me it just sounds aweful but what the hell I am not gonna listen to myself anyway so it doesn't really matter (well actually editing now that I think of it is composed almost entirely of listening to myself... oh well)
this is amazing dude! i love how you started with the script editor, it reminds me of batch files
Such humble beginnings. Just goes to show that you can chip away at it, by learning the basics a little at a time, while making mistakes the whole time. So long as you eventually learn from your mistakes. Kinda like Runescape skill leveling applied to real life; it's a grind while you're in the moment, but after some time, you can look back at your progress, and see that you've gotten somewhere.
It's amazing to see how far you've come! Can't wait to see your next adventures!
I like your channel very much, man! I'm impressed how consistent your improvement has been throughout the years as shown in this video. My little cousin, who's 10, wants to learn to make video games, and this video gives me the confidence that he actually could start right now, just like you did, with little experiments! That's so great, I'm going to encourage him that much more!
You really do deserve every ounce of success you have received. I'm always in awe of your work, thank you so much for the value you add to society!
Thank you so much for sharing! Such a great attitude!
Good luck for 2020. I really enjoy your videos and thinking that goes into them. Keep up the great work and thanks for all the previous videos!
As someone who's childhood dream is to be a gamedev but ended up a different path instead. This video speaks to me...
But seriously tho you should release the evolution-simulator-survival game thingy i'd love to play that
"I pitched the audio down several levels to sound more manly"
I run a studio, and I think people just hear their voice deeper when they talk because most of the sound is coming from inside your own body, and a lot of that low end is lost when it goes through the air. You probably just pitched it down to sound more like you thought it would sound.
Holy shit this is so cool. Really enjoying your Coding Adventure series, hope you continue this for a long time to come, it's so fascinating watching you follow your curiosity wherever it takes you.
I totally love your videos. Even your old ones are still relevant because the code is very well written. Thanks to you, I solved problems that I encountered on my game development as well. Happy new years to you, and keep being awesome!
Great, just what I needed to motivate myself.
I am 37 now and started when I was 8.. Man I wish I had Internet, CZcams , Unity and tons of Tutorials back then .. You can learn so much faster nowadays..
I like watching young artists and designers work and growth here.. I also just recently found an old Backup Drive with stuff from around 2005, holy crap what a time machine..
You did pretty good in those 10 years, compared to my first 10.
This is one of the coolest channels I've found. Thanks for making videos. I'm excited to start learning to make games too with your tutorials :)
Whoa This Is Really
Useful Ten Years.
Hope You Keep Up
The Good Work Man
The things I would've achieved if I grew up with a friend like you.
"You think this is funny?"
"In a programming sort of sense, yeah."
"Well Mr. Funny Man, is this how you get your sick kicks?"
"What it's just an ordinary AI c-" 3:05 "OH MY GOODNESS"
It's if else logic only, but a bunch of it. AI doesn't really need to be complex, if statement is also an AI (Same as path finding, it's simple, yet it is still an AI).
I think that clip is going to give me nightmares
Loved watching this, thanks for sharing and all the best to you! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for taking the time to make videos to share and teach. You've inspired an excitement to learn and create!
"Oh balls. The pig people have built a portal to your dimension."
Goddammit I just wanna make potato salad
"Like an ai class containing 800 lines of painstakingly coded if-else logic" - I can't be sure because I've never had a panic attack before this point, but I think I just had one.
your videos inspired me to keep learning code and developing games,
yeah i was supersized to learn that you are so young, but that just makes it even more amazing!
keep up the good work!
You are amazing and doing awesome work! Thank you for sharing with us!
“So I pitched my voice down to sound more manly”

Thanks for doing what you do, and congrats for being where you are in life!
It's super motivating to see you grow! I started a small project recently and I'm even starting to publish some devlogs haha, your videos helped me A LOOOT!!! Thank you!!
Very motivational. I've been following your coding adventures for a while now. Really liked them, hope you keep doing well. Love!
“Press ‘Cancel’ to quit. That’s normal!” 😂
God, you were able to start when you were 12? I didn't have my own computer until I was like 16, I'm so jealous...
Again, thank you for sharing your game dev journey as well as sharing your "bits of wisdom" to us
I love your channel. Honestly, just, so interesting, and so cool! I hope you continue to make games and experiments and projects for many years to come, and good luck to you if you do!
This is what happens when intelligent, creative people have time and the first two tiers of Maslow's hierarchy are met for them. Just imagine how different the world would be if everyone were so fortunate.
Fortunate in what ways?
runescape got me into game development too, seems like a lot of the community ended here
I may be here since only a couple of months but I love all of the videos. they are just sooo well done, interesting and soothing. :)
I really like your videos. The marching cubes one really helped me figure out some solutions and workarounds for problems I was having. They are incredibly good at presenting a challenge, and giving you the steps to overcome it without getting into too much coding, it's like giving you objectives to complete a quest!
I felt really bad at life when he was like I acomplished this that and the other. Then slightly later than that was like "and then I graduated high school."
Ok, so I'm planning to do the same but with a higher level of difficulty:
1- Starting now at 30yrs old
2- International Student in a foreign country (From Colombia to Canada)
3- Learning in English AND French, me being a Spanish native speaker.
4- Zero IT background -I was a Paramedic.
I'm fucked up.......

Your coding adventure videos are some of my favorite videos to watch on CZcams! Keep it up, you’re a legend!
Your humor is amazing & your work inspiring! keep it up.
Can't believe there's someoneone who didn't start with gamemaker :p
I actually started in AMOS on Amiga, then in QuickBasic DOS era, then moved to Java, but then Flash got my full attention in the late nineties, and I got pretty good with all of the iterations of ActionScript til 2010's. Since then I'm in Unity C# where I feel my home is. Some of my first 'useful' code happened on a summer 1987, on MSX, I used to make little games and funny programs, like the one with which I measured how fast the cars were driving on a highway that I could observe from my grandma's flat. I knew the distance between the street lights, so I would hit space when a car would enter and leave a particular segment of road. In the early nineties I've made a graphical multimodal window interface (similar to Windows) in plain DOS on a PC '486, by hacking into memory segment in which BIOS stored its system ASCII font and making it display graphical elements. In the mid-nineties, when I was 15, I was already repairing hard disk soft errors (like vanished partitions) by editing the partition tables manually. In the late nineties I was reverse-engineering MP3, but the games have always been the main passion for me. The games are the pinnacle for me, because of how graceful you need to be with the machine, and yet all you care about is someone's soul. I believe the art is true only when you're proficient enough that you care not about the medium, but the message that you're sending across. We all come with crazy and different backgrounds, you see.
I started with Roblox... at 10 yrs old, but yeah. 22 now and rocking the computer programming world lol
Just curious, how much money did last chance supermarket make after the PewDiePie video came out?
The game got about 100k downloads. It was pay what you want though, and only ~200 of those were purchases. In total around $240.
I found you through the A* tutorial a few years back. And it was the best explanation i've heard so far and keep refering it to other people since it was what made a* click for me. I adore your style, particularly your coding adventures and your current game series. Keep it up
most inspiring channel for coding i have ever come across ive watched so many of your videos now really enjoying it man! amazing!
you- started this all at like 13
me- worthless 13yo who will likely get hereditary alcoholism and bipolar depression
Your adjusted 13 year old voice sounds deeper than your voice now 😂
dude is gonna make it. So purely talented. I stumbled upon one of your videos while searching for maching cubes for my work. Being an algorithm developer myself i stay away from cs, but alway was fascinated by games. I watch your game dev tutorials in unity in my free time now and actually downloaded it to try it out myself and ever since I am having a total blast. Thank you my guy
Love your content. And now I know why you are so good at Blender and coding! Thanks for sharing.
0:02 I was 95% sure this was a toaster
I still use your old tutorials when i need to refresh something, clean and on the point. You are a HERO!
Your determination is amazing! I am not ashamed to admit that I envy the success that you have achieved. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to seeing more amazing projects.
Have a great year ahead! 😄
As always, very inspiring! Keep doing amazing stuff!
Literally splitscreening osrs when i clicked on the video amazing. It certainly makes a difference when we can see the projects are fun for you too, all the best for the next 10 years!
great video man. Love seeing the progress
I burst out a laugh at the end of the video, that fly and sneezing is such a good and fun idea, looking forward to your new videos.
This guy is a beast. I envy people like you. Pushes myself to be able to do the same things you do.
Your progress over the years is amazing, congratulations!!!!!
