Sir, madame, whoever you are, no disrespect, but you are actially comparing a 45 page booklet to a youtube video in a different engine. It's not even remotely the same thing, and they're not even the same TYPE of tutorial. LUA is the only thing that connects both, and that their tuts are focused a lot more on visuals and more typical 'gamemaking' logic, not the absolute basics.
Again, try not to take another person's comment personally; I just genuinely think it's disrespectful to comment something like this on their page. You commented publicly to be seen by others, correct?
As someone who has tabled irl at print shows and comic and book fairs for a literal decade, I've paid 15 dollars for way less 'content'. I respect what people price their own material as, and I don't leave comments directly on their pages referencing another person's tutorial series.
It's just genuinely nonsensical and an unreasonable 'critique', in my opinion, NOTE; OPINION. If you can't handle with that being my opinion, then that's okay, continue to do you.
My sentiment still stands. Buying someone's PDF and then commenting someone else's video series 'is better' is rude and strange. Squid god has a ton of tutorials of his own.
I also don't believe that in ANY universe 15 bucks is 'too much' for someone laying out the basics of a whole scripting language for beginners. I literally used it yesterday to get me through some concepts. I'm a beginner, the book works and is helpful. 15 bucks totally well spent.
So it didn't work for YOU. You'd rather watch a video. That's your own personal issue. He didn't say he was going to teach you how to create an entire game, it literally says LUA concepts for beginners.
All I will say. Good day! Your comment was just the first thing I saw on his page when I went to download the pdf, I just thought it was uncalled for. You needed some pushback on your opinion IMO.
