Jan 31st Update: Next tutorial, February Payment Pause, and my personal thanks!
🕑 Added 2022-01-31 15:56:41 +0000 UTCHi everyone! It's been a fast two weeks for me since I released the most recent "Goals of 2022" video. I've made progress on the next tutorial, but not as much as I would have hoped. I guess that's what happens when making videos isn't my full-time gig. I'm thinking to myself now that I should probably make "Full Time Game Dev" a goal on this Patreon...
With that being said, the progress that I have made these past couple of weeks has resulted in a few really exciting ideas for future tutorials (note this post's image) that we'll cover after the command pattern tutorial is released. So I'm stoked about that!
The most important part of this Patreon update is that I have decided to pause the Patreon for the month of February. While I am 100% committed to making videos and there will be at least the Command Pattern tutorial released in the month of February: pausing the Patreon payments is the fair decision considering all of you have decided to support me/iHeartGameDev and the channel's output has been slow.
So what does this mean for you? Nothing. You'll still have access to the benefits of your respective Patreon tier. I just don't feel comfortable asking for support when I know that the output has been slower than usual. By the time March comes around, I'll have had the time needed for greater strides towards a faster output, understanding the topics that have slowed me down and we'll be back on track.
With that being said, I'd like to reiterate my thanks. Thank you all for your support! Making these tutorials, building this community and learning game development are all things that I truly love. Game development has become such a large part of my life over the last two years and making games continues to be a big dream. But helping teach others how they can fulfill their own is now right next to that dream, and thanks to all of you, that dream is more of a reality than it ever has been.
OK! Now, back to working on the next tutorial!
Cheers! 🍻
