I understand this concern, and it's a valid one with pretty good points. I've been using Notion for almost two years, and I'm using some redundancy.

This is a problem, like she says, any distribution platform that's not your own has.

My mitigation for that is that you guys can duplicate the Cookbook to your own Notion profile and handle your data however you like. So Notion becomes just for distribution, not storage.

For instance, by duplicating you can export the content as HTML packages and store it elsewhere.

yes, I always do.

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

Hey, I just read the devlog and realized itch.io's code parser is very bad. The code isn't formatted correctly.

It should look like this:

Sim! Uma vez feita a atualização, ela também vai ser replicada no Ko-fi, inclusive deve sair um post amanhã sobre isso lá também explicando basicamente o que tá na página do pacote aqui no itch.io.

Se você tem o livro lá, pode ficar tranquilo.

Heeeeey!

Thank you so much for the feedback, brother. Glad you're here!

infelizmente sim, irmão

Eu recomendo comprar pelo meu Ko-fi, lá já é localizado pra  BRL e é um pouco mais barato, e tá tendo cupom de desconto de 50% também usando o link abaixo!

Second week of May! By May 15th it should be up and running, the major structure is already done and I just have to record 7 videos.

Hey there, thank you a lot for getting in touch!

Are you from Brazil? For some reason, itch.io doesn't allow Brazilians to purchase from other Brazilians using PayPal.

You can use Stripe instead, or get the book on my Ko-fi instead, using the link below you will have the same 50% discount.

I just used itch.io to host the course's project so I could embed it in the landing page on my site 👀

https://www.ludens.studio/godot-adventure-essentials-landing-page?pvs=74

It's 4.0! I have to update it indeed!

Hey there, could you send an email to support@pigdev.studio mentioning(or using) the email you used for purchase?

Let's sort this out!

i don't think so. This was made back when 3.0 launched

Hey there! Thank you for your support and for leaving a comment!

itch.io sometimes gives these kinds of issues. I'd recommend you try Ko-fi instead.

I would love to share it once you do. Please do it!

Loved it! This game made my day! Thanks for that.

The ending just needs a little bit of build up to create the anticipation, a two or three lines of dialogue could do the trick. But I loved regardless!

Hey there! Thank you for the willingness to support me, this is very much appreciated!

Are you from Brazil? If so, please contact me privately on X(x.com/pigdev) so we can make a direct transfer through Pix.

Otherwise, could you try to purchase through ko-fi instead? itch.io has been giving me some issues with Stripes since ever. Here follows the link to the ko-fi shop item:

I agree, especially because this would mean having a project compatible with Android, which is not the case for the Level 3 project, so I'll see how I'll deal with that, but definitely will have as an extra.

Indeed!

It will be nice nonetheless to have it, but it will come as extra content.

Hey there, I don't know why but it seems like it's an itch.io thing. Can you check it out again?

People suggested adding a module to publish on Android platforms, namely the Playstore.

To do that, I'd need to spend some extra time on research, it's been a while since I worked with Playstore and how to export Android Apps from Godot Engine, which needs some extra work on our development environment.

What do you think, is this a priority for you or can this come as extra content after we finish the current topics?

Hello everyone!

With new members joining the course, I decided to make a fixed post to showcase the current syllabus, as some of them didn't get the email.

I also got amazing feedback regarding the syllabus sent to your email past week, and I have to say you guys are the best. Some of the suggestions intersect and I think using this community forum can be a good place to move forward with the discussion. Without further ados, this is where I'm going to post and keep you updated about the planned content! The current syllabus follows bellow:

First Line to First Dollar Syllabus

Note that, as mentioned in the pre-sales launch video, I plan to get other professionals involved in the project to help with the content that I'm not a specialist. Namely, I'm the one responsible for the design and development content so you will notice that the content in the production, release, and publishing modules is still a bit vague.

ALSO, I want to get the ball rolling already, so I decided that it would be of great value to start with what I'm good at while I'm finding good people to help me with the parts I'm not as good. So, I decided that we will start the production with the third module, Development.

Throughout the Development module, we will build a nice 2D Pixel Platformer using the assets from PixelFrog's Kings & Pigs with our own twist.

Thank you!

I do, it's planned for future books in this series!

Hey there! Sounds awesome.

Can you reach out to me on twitter with a price proposal? My twitter handle is @pigdev

Hey there! I made a video rating the jam's submissions. Here's yours(video will come out May 28th 11AM GMT -3)

Yep! On itch.io rewards give access to the whole product.

So, if you managed to get a keys, congrats and welcome! We will need your feedback :)

It's an option...in the animation editor you can set an animation to be Autoplay.

Please, do take the time to learn the Godot Engine editor.

Turn on "Autoplay" on the animation's editor

Yes! But is not a priority at the moment.

As soon as I make my course, which will use most of these recipes, they will be up to date, at least code-wise.

Regarding the book content itself, it may take more time.

The course project will start next month and will be available here on itch, so stay tuned!
