We are very excited to announce that the First Line to First Dollar course is currently on its first pre-sales campaign!
The goal of this campaign is to raise funds so we can work safely and with all our focus, energy, and attention on the course! We aim to raise $12000 and we count on you to achieve this goal!
To reward those brave hearts that are trusting us before anyone else does, we carefully designed 6 Reward Tiers to help you help us!
To help you get used to the course's content and approach before we start releasing the course, we've prepared a special bundle so you can read some of my previous work and get your head wrapped around some game development with Godot Engine.
During the pre-sales campaign, you can get the course, the Platformer Essentials Cookbook, and the Top 7 Godot Recipes ebook for $80, it's over $20 in discount on top of the pre-sales 25% discount.
(Se você é brasileiro 🇧🇷, por favor entre em contato pois tem um bug entre o PayPal e o itch.io que nos impede de receber pagamentos. Mas pensamos numa solução pra fazer no precinho pros nossos conterrâneos. Manda uma mensagem no Twitter ou um email para contato@pigdev.studio com o assunto "Cliente Brazuca". Valeu!)
We are doing our best to raise the funds and get the course done as soon as we can! Making game development content is something I love to do and I've been doing this out of a passion for the past 7 years.
But I want to make this a profitable endeavor, this helps me make informed decisions about where I should spend my time and attention. Previously, this also included just my own money, but now...I opened a company! And I'm working with a team of other professionals that also need to make the best decisions regarding their time and attention.
The course will come out regardless of the success of this campaign! The only change that we will have is regarding when and what we can put into the course.
By ensuring that we reach the goal, we can spend the next months full-time focused on creating the planned content, recording free videos on my YouTube channel, and writing free content to help other people also succeed in their indie game endeavors.
But for that, we need to pay the bills! The funds raised during this campaign will help us with financial security to give our undivided attention to making this course happen as quickly as we can...this leads us to the next point.
We are also going to hire an artist and a programmer to help us with the development module of the course. By the way, if you have experience with Godot Engine, please send us an email to contact@pigdev.studio telling us about relevant past experiences, your portfolio, and your salary proposition. Be kind! As you can see, we have a tight budget!
Talking about the budget...
I believe deeply in transparency, if you follow me you know I always keep thing open and honest...including the source code of all my content, which is also under Public Domain, including my YouTube Videos.
So, it wouldn't be different with our budget. We carefully planned the necessary expenses we will need to cover in order to make this course in the time frame we planned. This is what we got!
Well, if you purchased any of the rewards available, you will be served with the content as we make it! So, as soon as we finish the campaign, we are going to take a week-long break and start working on the course, so you can expect the first content by the first half of July.
The complete course should be done, reviewed, edited, and released by the second quarter of 2025!
You might be thinking:
How can you guys survive a whole year with just $12000?
We can't! This is the accurate answer. The $12000 raised during this crowdfunding campaign is to guarantee that we will be able to work for about 3 months with the heavy and hardest parts of the course with all our energy. After that, we are certain that we will start to get organic sales and with your help spreading the course's word, we will have a good stable income stream until we reach the completion of the course!
That said, thank you so much for your support!
Get the First Line to First Dollar right now!
Keep developing and until the first class!
