OK - So, now that we've got the Discord online and working fairly smoothly - I wanted to make a last call for those of you who are skilled in Blueprints and were interested in joining the solving-squad section on Discord. It's completely optional and is entirely volunteer based, but probably about once or twice a week, that's where I'll be trying to figure out most of the things in the background before they get into videos. I believe I've sent out all the Invite...

Alright, as usual, we got a lot of work cut out for us, but now that we can focus all of our intellect on JUST blueprints, I think in a way it will be a little easier than figuring out all the random sub-menu's of Unreal-5's Engine - We're gonna take a SHORT 2/3 video detour before we jump into Unreal Blueprints because I have to make the obligatory "Review of Armored Core 6" now that I've completed the game lol - But, immediately afterwards, we'll be taking the deep dive into the depths of B...

But, all in all - We actually completed 2 series in 1 month lol. So, there was a lot of good progress made. I'll talk more about what's to come in the next post, but I just want you guys to know that you guys played a direct part in...

If you're reading this on Patreon, just know that the only reason I could finally muster the courage to make this decision is because of the incredible support I've received from you guys here each month. It's really provided the nest for all of this to be possible, and now for the first time, I finally have the confidence to try and make this a full-time gig.
Thank you again for everything you've done, I'll do my absolute best to make it worth your while :)
Discord Plans -
Alright Squad, I've been doing a lot of planning in the background, and thanks to some really awesome help, It looks like Discord might not be too far away now - It has quite a few features I didn't know about. The most important being the ability to know who is a member of the Support Squad from both YouTube and Patreon - It also allows me to assign different amounts of "voting" power based on whether or not people are on the Support Squad or just casual visitors.
