What a great series! Can't wait for 3d Terraria! Edit since this is apparently the comment everyone sees from me, this was a joke, as to outsiders Minecraft and Terraria are seemingly the same despite being entirely different. (And yes I'm aware there are efforts towards 3d Terraria.)

This whole series has been beyond impressive.

Now imagine if he made this game 3d! That would be a hit game!

CN, "coding in a 2D spider would be practicly imposs-" Griffpach enters the room

This is one of the only non-tutorial programming devlog series I've seen getting finished entirely, awesome!

Awesome man! I'm so proud of you, can't wait to see what you do next. I'll be here the whole ride🎉🎉

I'm really happy that this project is done! I'm glad to see that some of my splash texts made it into the game :)

next up 3D Terraria

Can you add the phrase "not terraria" please Edit 1: wow i didn't expect this to get over 300 likes in a 3 days Edit: i forgot about this comment, and the increase of likes hasn't been increase as much as it used to

Good job lad nice to see you come this far now you must go beyond good luck my friend 🎉

It's awesome to see this thing finished up and put out in the world. Happy for you, man! And of course happy that I could contribute in some small way with the splashes. Feels good to be a part of something bigger, y'know

2D Minecraft was made few years ago but nice job dude it looks nice

This Series is What Made me Jump back into coding and I'm learning so much! Thank you CodeNoodles, your awesome :)

I started play by it, and it’s really good. The inclusion of the Music, and the menu really sells it. Your hard work really paid off. It feels like Minecraft. It’s very well made, feels fun, and I really like it so far.

Wow. This is probably one of the only game making series i was interested in and found fun. The way you explained some stuff in a way everyone will understand and how you did it was fantastic. Great job man, hope you do more stuff like this.

It was really nice to watch this series and I can’t wait to try the game itself, congrats on all the progress! 🎉😁

Thank you for such a good series! Im so glad you are releasing it and took the feedback your viewers gave you. Im also really happy you will update it every few months since a lot of proyects that are done for YT sake dont get updated ever again so Im glad it wont be another dead proyect, thank you for all of this and for reading! :3

_Splash text idea:_ *"Postdata: Don't Coodle on my Nodes, pls"* , and *"Who let the Pigs Out? *oink x5*"*

Terraria is 2D Minecraft? Nah, Minecraft is 2D Minecraft.

It's been really cool to see this progress over time. It looks great.

I really enjoyed this 2D Minecraft series. It's a unique and refreshing take on the game, and I'm excited to see what you do next. Keep up the great work!

this was so cool!! you're pretty good man :D i think you're an awesome dev

I would absolutely LOVE to see you continue this series, maybe add some smaller updates and stuff.

I've liked these videos a bunch, you probably should add some small things that make a big difference, like: Water changing color on biomes. Options menu and options. Player portrait on the inventory. Player or mobs do walking particles. Little height knockback. Torches break if the main block is broken. Armor. (Maybe even: Other dimensions, like Nether or The End. Redstone. Crafting book on the inventory. ) Here are more splash screen texts! "From a block to a rectangle." "No breaking trees with hands!" "There's a Warden...?" "If it's wood, it's wood." "Exploring the second dimension."

Absolutely amazing job with this series (and game) btw!!

This looks super cool, smooth lighting might be a nice addition though

Finally an indie game dev video where also the code is actually looking very solid 👍

Fun fact: the clip of creeper explosion you used at the beginning are top 2 heaviest slurs in Polish.

despite the screen bug i am getting with it, I am having a pretty good time playing your 2d minecraft ! You sir made my childhood come true and for that I am thankful ! Keep up the good work! ^^

continue working on it pls

Please give this more updates. This is so nostalgic. I only had paper minecraft by griffpatch when I was little

Oh my gosh! You actually did it! Congratulations 🎉!

I’ve loved watching this series!!!

This whole series has been extremely entertaining to watch

Congrats on finishing the game! 🎉 I've been excited for it ever since the first devlog. Although mobs don't seem to be spawning from what I've seen. Also I think texture packs could be something cool you could add.

I love this, cant wait to play!

thx for the 2d minecraft i was waiting for it for munths

man with an github repo of this game, i want to add moding capabilities to this cool game (if i want to learn C++)! cheers!!

this is so good you put so much effort you deserve a sub

I am so happy you will update the game ! And also I was impatient to play ot and now I can !

I saw the whole series. And im proud of you 😁

This is a great project! I forked the project and I am having a little fun causing some shenanigans messing with save files and such.

Wow this is phenominal, great work CodeNoodles!

Will you be uploading videos to go along with the monthly updates, or just the update? And if you do upload videos, would you talk about the coding part like you have in this series, or would you just be making a summary of the new additions made by the update?

I wish the series would continue, but very understandable at least the game will still be updated

LETSSS GOOO IM SO EXCITED!!!! IVE BEEN FOLLOWING FROM THE BEGINNING AND SOMEHOW JUST SAW THIS

I love this series.

I just played it and I gotta say it's really solid and a lot of fun! but there are a few pointers that you could take from a little known mobile game called "The Blockheads" --Make night time shorter and daytime longer. Most players won't want to play the game when it's pitch black half of the time. This small tweak can lead to a much more enjoyable player experience. --Make it so players can only destroy the background blocks if there are no other background blocks above it. This prevents players from cheezing free light sources in caves by busting down the background wall when they are at the bottom of the world. --Auto jump. In vanilla minecraft this can sometimes come off as unnecessary but in a 2d setting where you're jumping way more often, an auto jump or auto step feature can really make a difference, especially when viewed as an accessibility option. --(you can ignore this one because I didn't realize that zooming was already in the game but it isn't telegraphed at all in the controls menu.) Add a camera zoom setting. Allow the player to zoom the camera in and out. Maybe bind it to the control key + scroll wheel in and out. This can be really useful for people with different monitor sizes and prevents squinting and leaning close to the screen. --If you zoom the camera out far enough, the world could change to a "map render" mode where each block is instead represented by a single color pixel and the player can't be controlled, instead showing a little icon representing where the player is at. This kind of feature is great for giving the player a greater sense of what the explored world looks like as well as helping with navigation in twisty caves. Also like, I don't know if this is even possible to do without causing headaches for everyone, but like these kinds of games are always really fun to play with a friend so if multiplayer is anywhere on the table that'd be cool I guess?

ANOTHER UPLOAD! YAY!

The game looks so amazing! Could you maybe implement a notification system or something like that, so we know when a new update is out? Or maybe post it here on YT?

This was so cool to watch. The game felt really good and fun.Cant believe this video doesnt have more views.

This is a super cool series. I have only seen this final video, but I will be going back and watching the previous parts. I had an idea though, which would be massive to implement and probably not even compatible with the current build, but would be cool. What if it were 3D minecraft, in 2D. Essentially, you are running left to right on the X, and moving up and down on the Z axis. But what if there were a button that allowed you to move along the Y axis, forward and back, thus changing the landscape to a new "slice" of the world. At the moment it is like you have a single row of bricks sliced through the entirety of a minecraft world, but this idea would mean that all of the other rows of bricks would exist, but only be visible when the player is on that plane. I don't think other mobs should be able to traverse between layers, but they might appear should you flip to a row of bricks where one is spawned. Just an idea, but could be neat. Also, a good representation of how a lower dimensional plane views higher dimensional planes, which is a concept that I always struggled with, but it happened to be 4D minecraft (another youtube game design series) that finally helped me wrap my mind around what 4D space might be like.

This reminds me of a really old IOS game i played in highschool early 2013 called Crafted. It was 2D minecraft to a T and probably got cease and desisted years ago. A youtuber called MrCrayFishMinecraft has videos of it still but i saw this video and clicked it because it reminded me of that old game i played years ago. This is sick though

Nice work! One day, I’ll also get very good at programming, but still gotta learn

A cool idea (which I know will be complicated but cool to see) is “texture pack” support, that way if u have to change the textures at any time you can always just download a pack to make it more minecraft

you could add the nether :D (I think this is a big project but anyways)

Wow, cant wait to see how other people improve on this game :D

*Awh man* I saw the first in this series and I think I suggested something, I would have loved to get recommended to the parts in between and try again!

this reminds me of an old flash game i used to play called MIne Blocks back in like 2010 - 2012-ish. it was a 2D minecraft, but unlike most others at the time it was actually good.

My favourite part was when people could suggest splash text! The interaction with the community made the videos feel of a higher quality of such.

I wish there were also some villages and villagers, and also maybe cows and pigs run when you hit them instead of doing nothing

Looks cool! Splash text idea: "Don't be a cube!"

Thank for you everything. I've been watching this series since the very beginning and I've loved every second of it, I think you're really cool and you've turned this game into something really special. I think this may just be the first 2D Minecraft I really like, thanks! :)

Yooo my splash text got in yay :D thank code noodles ❤ great content

i learned alot and you made me very motivated, you are very talented but still support yours fans. what a wonderful series

nice job man

cant wait for you to do 3D minecraft next

Great video! You should make a version for web assembly! 😃❤

Thank you for making an actually good 2D Minecraft :)

This reminds me of Mine Blocks which was essentially a 2D Minecraft port a creator named Zanzlanz or lands or something like that made

Cool game and video! This clip here - 1:08 surprised me because I'm Polish and the kid in this clip spoke Polish and I didn't expect that :D

i hope you update this sometime like adding dimensions like the nether and the end and also adding the ocean for example or adding villages

i would be interested in seeing more, i wonder how the nether/end could be implimented?

I have an idea for a future update, maybe you can add villages, villagers, obsidian, flint and steel, the Nether, endermen, eyes of ender, the strong hold, and the end. This way, players would be able to complete the game. But these are just ideas

That's cool! _goes back to playing 2d minecraft created in minecraft_

Splash text idea: "Take that Notch! -Simon Lane"

You could do a change log on somewhere, i think that would be cool

I have an idea if the spider will ever be added. Make the legs go up and down kinda like a wave. Not the best but i tried

Man there was an iPhone game back in the day called Crafted that was exactly this. Nostalgic af

Wow, this takes me back to playing paper miinecraft on scratch in the computer lab in elementery school

you just got ur self a new subscribers KEEP THE GOOD WORK AND ALSO KEEP UPDATING THIS MASTER PIECE IT WILL BE GOOD FOR POTATO PCS XD

can you make a texture pack for this in the style of the mob vote trailers?

1:45 heavy avm vibes, would love to play

The gamei is sooooooooo cool, its really well done, Good job CodeNoodles

Amazing! I NEED this on mac OS. Don't currently have a good windows PC :/

Le concept est super, j’aimerais le voir sur d’autres film

will you still be updating? because this is amazing

I saw someone else say "Not Terraria" and it gave me the idea for the splash text: "Impending doom approaches" which is the message that's sent when moon lord is summoned in Terraria. :)

Looks great, but the sky would look infinitely better if you added a backdrop like terraria has, or just some clouds on layers.

I liked your development series so far. By the way i found a glitch where if i press f11 to disable fullscreen the graphics break and become white and the buttons become some black lines. Also can you add a option to change the resolution size?

This reminds me of the Blockheads

This is the best 2D version of Minecraft I have played, the flaw is no furnace, no multiplayer, and I can mine through blocks! I don't want to keep in mind that I have to have my cursor on the block that I want to mine or else I will accidentally mine the block that's behind it. Also I can jump 2 blocks tall which is probably a good thing!

Would love if your next update (even though I know this is a big ask) you could add the cherry biome and the deep dark!

HECK now I really wanna program bedwars in this lol, i remembering making many plugins in minecraft time ago, bedwars too

Can you add the nether and the warped forest if you do il get this project on all my devices

one of the opening messages could be "also try 3d terraria" n maybe you could get the developers of that game to put "also try 2d minecraft" in theirs. just a cool suggestion

Seems great, but it doesnt seem to be able to run on my computer, when it is fullscreen it goes off my screen because if my awful resolution and when i go out of fullscreen it is stuck in the top left and i cant move it, and even resizing the window crashes the game

Hey man loved the series just wanted to know if it would be possible to get a Mac version

My man!
