Without them, most of my tutorials and work in the last few years simply would not exist. Thank you to each and every one of my patrons for believing in the work that I do and keeping it going and growing and improving these last few years. But even though I offer these benefits I'm clear about wanting to keep my core educational content free and available to everyone. So if you like my work, if you find it helpful, or even if you think that my stuff could help, encourage and teach others who want to get into games development, then please consider becoming a patron of my work! Patrons get access to all sorts of cool stuff including source code, early release videos and so on. Those are the people who should influence it, not advertisers or YouTube's algorithm.

And the latter consumes time I would rather spend creating better public content more frequently.Īdverts and the 'normal' paths to success on YouTube demand a style of content that favors retention, clicks and mass market appeal rather than quality and depth. The former isn't worth a lot of money, not enough to support the time I spend on this work. I used to support my YouTube work with adverts and freelance work. I want to create stuff that everyone can use.

I really don't want to charge for tutorials, sell books or create courses behind a paywall. Making high quality tutorial videos and content for developers takes a long time and a lot of effort. I make tutorial videos, livestreams, tools and assets for GameMaker Studio 1 & 2 and game development in general.
