 So I've stepped outside on this rainy day because I want to talk to you guys about something and Family is being kind of loud inside the house. I Just kind of woke up. Just kind of woke up. I did just wake up. That's why I probably look a little tired But I want to get this video out because I want to talk about something I Love open source projects and I try to support them, you know, I try to put a little bit towards small projects here and there So when it comes to supporting open source projects, there's different ways you can do it I'm talking financially right now I don't normally support larger open source projects like for example, I love Libre office I think it's a great project or like the blender Foundation, I think they're great. Normally. I don't support those because I try to find those little projects I use all the time that seemed to me to get overlooked like for example Turmux or FCF, you know, those are like little projects that I Use all the time, but they don't have that backing which of course it's important for those big projects But they already tend to get a lot of support Today, I'm gonna talk about one. It's kind of in the middle. It's it's not a huge project, but it's kind of supporting a larger project There is a YouTube channel that I've been following for a couple of months because I've been doing a lot of stuff in Godot The game engine and the channel is called GD quest and they do great great tutorials and they've done a couple of kick starters in the past where they've done tutorials and they have a kickstart going on right now and Last week I decided to support it lots times I With certain projects, it's like Am I gonna support this project? Because they're doing a good job making videos, but I'm really wanting to support open source But they're they're doing tutorials on open source and what they're doing is going to be mostly some of its behind a paywall and some of its You know open everybody, but what they're doing is benefiting everybody and does help their channel But they just sent out an update on their Kickstarter Which has about 39 hours from the time of recording this till it ends and they have a stretch goal They already reached their original goal and I just checked they already reached their stretch goal But I still gonna bring it up because I think it's worth talking about so they're doing a video series on creating video games using Godot the open source game engine for early early beginners. They are showing how to Do the very basics, but to create an entire game Which is great They're also working on writing a program So that you learn it teaches you how to program So you follow along I guess and you go and you instead of just reading and then doing it You type in the code and it tells you they have videos. I'll link to everything in the description of this video But their stretch goal It's starting to rain a lot now Their stretch goal, which I said they already reached Is they're going to take Some of that money that they get and hire a developer To work on certain things for the Godot game engine Instead of giving the money to Godot, which hurry has a lot of developers and a lot of stuff going on They have specific things that they want to work on they listed out on their Kickstarter page And they're going to hire their own developer To work on certain things and mainly it looks like they really want to work on the animation player in Godot So I just wanted to bring this up because there's less than 48 hours. There's like 38 39 hours left It's really starting to rain right now I'll link to it in the description. I really think it's worth uh doting to and if not Something I've thought about doing in the past like I said I try to put aside anywhere from five to twenty dollars a month and I usually pick a small open source project And I support them. I give them that money And I've thought maybe I should announce on my youtube channel What little projects i'm supporting and maybe that would encourage you guys to do so that if we all give Five dollars to this small project all at once. Um, it'd be really encouraging to them and help them out Uh, so let me know what you think about that Let me know in the comments below. Be sure to check out the links in the description to the Kickstarter page I really think it's worth. I'm not associated with uh gd quest at all So I just think they do great videos And they've given a lot to the project and to the community and I think they're worth supporting That being said, I do have some gdo tutorials coming up. I have some example projects I've been working on in uh in the next month or so and then after that I've actually been working on my own little minimal Uh gdo tutorials where I have videos that are one to two minutes long Just showing this how you do one simple thing in gdo This is how you do one thing and I have like two weeks worth of videos like 14 Soar videos of that so look forward to that coming out Uh, but their videos are going to be definitely hot lot higher quality of the mine And go into a lot more detail than the ones i'm working on so check them out links in the description Films by chris.com is my website and I hope that you have a great day
