[NOTE: I am not accepting new contracts or students at this time]

I am offering my knowledge of 20+ years as a programmer with 7+ years of extensive Game Maker and Studio programming to students in need of help to complete lab projects or to freelancers in need of a little push in the right direction.

I currently create Game Maker Studio marketplace assets to help Game Maker developers go beyond the tool's (perceived) limitations

I am also the founder of The Mojo Collective. Under this banner other game creators, programmers and artists and I create games for fun while sharing profits.

I provide mentoring and individualized support to people who need help with their Game Maker project. Most of which involves anything from teaching programming via skype to making game engines on a project per project basis.

I also specialise in optimising games to make them ready to deploy on Android

Provided Services
I am offering a dedicated service to the people who are prepared to pay for it; unfortunately my services are not free. You have to realize that everyone needs help in this world. I need help to pay the rent and you need help to pass the grade or get over a major hurdle in your project, or simply require guidance or a more turnkey solution to your project.

Services include, though not limited to
  • Live Tutoring
  • Fixing Your Game
  • Re-writing your game
  • Porting games from other development system to Studio
  • Creation of engines for your game
  • Optimizing your game to run on low end devices (Android, Surface,etc)
  • Daily Support Through Slack
Fee Schedule
For tutoring see the Live Tutoring Services Below

The fee schedule varies from case to case, minimally the charge is 20$ for 2 hours of works followed by an hourly rate or 10$/h for work done on your project. The hourly rate depends on the complexity of the work and what sort of outfit the project is for. We will negotiate the cost of the project after the initial estimate.

Estimates are free of charge

The estimate will determine the amount of time required to perform the task and the hourly rate for such a task, the cost of which we will agree upon. Work will start when the agreed upon price is paid in part of in full, again, depending on our arrangement.


Accessibility
Upon payment, you will automatically become a member of my slack group, where you will have access to me at any time to ask me anything related to any of your projects or any other studio related question. You can ongoingly continue to contribute to my well being by asking me to do paid work for you or bank some time like my students do, see below, not necessarily at the same cost of the initial contract. In any case you have access to me at any moment just like my students do. I do answer most questions even if your banked time is up.


Live Tutoring Services

(Through Slack & Skype)

Understanding Your Needs
I realize many of you need proper help for reaching your goal to pass the grade or complete a project. Many of you (students) have Game Maker projects or Studio projects to complete as part of your curriculum and unfortunately not many of you have enough Time or Knowledge of Game Maker to complete a project properly or to actually start the project on the right foot even with the provided lab notes.

I have seen the result of a tight schedule and the lack of proper training and having homework from other classes on top of everything! I know most of you have no time to learn the product properly, have no time to design the foundation for your project properly, have no time to learn the Game Maker UI tricks and debugging tricks that would save you valuable time and effort, have not enough time to learn the product on your own and so not enough experience to start on the right foot and not enough experience to fix any problem that arises at the worst moment. Where many of you would spend days trying to figure out why something is not working right, many users here could probably figure out in a few minutes. Unfortunately we are not always on the forum to answer urgent requests.


The services include but not limited to
Tutoring Via GMC PM
Tutoring Via Slack or Skype Instant Messaging
Tutoring Via Slack or Skype Phone Calls (With Screen Sharing)
Permanent Membership to my slack group

Understanding The Services
I provide a tutoring service that is more of a "teach a man to fish" type philosophy. A Typical Slack or Skype session usually involves me guiding you through the process of using the Game Maker Interface, adding proper object, designing the foundation for your game and assisted troubleshooting, giving you tips on how to achieve your goal faster.

The experience should leave you with a better understanding of Game Maker and a better foundation and methodology to achieve your goals. Ultimately after a few session you should have a enough understanding to swim on your own and hopefully address your other project with a clearer head and with less anxiety.

If in a jam (or if appropriate), I can provide, if permitted by the rules of the course you are taking, the foundation engine for your project which you can modify, with my guidance, for you project's needs.

Realize that I do not work "for you" making your project "for you". I tutor you to help you complete your project. I do not provide a "get out of jail" service so you can buy your way through your classes.


Tutoring Fee Schedule
Initial project contract: 10$ an hour; 2 Hours Minimum, 5 follow up questions VIA GMC PM, payable in advance through PayPal or Online Email Interact Fund Transfer (A New Service Provided Some Banks; verify if the feature allows you to pay Canadian Bank Customers). The tutoring will start upon confirmation of payment which may take a few hours.

10$ for each additional hour, each hour gives you 2 additional follow up GMC PM in regards to the project, payment to be made after or during the tutoring session.

New projects require a new initial contract (20$/2 hour fee, pre-paid) though any unused time (banked time) from another project can be used for the new project


Tutoring Request
Submit your tutoring request to me on the GMC via PM with the description of your project, the date due and the times you are available for Slack or Skype tutoring. I will reply usually within the hour for details and to setup the initial meet

Tutoring Requests and request discussions are free of charge so be as informative as you need to be

If GMS2.0 can provide me what I'm looking for. I know you will be getting a lot of my business. I do not learn from reading instructions.
I learn from watching every video I can get my hands on. And what i don't learn from videos.
I "HAVE" to talk with someone to point me back in the right direction.

The only experience I have with making games or Apps is through using GameSalad. I made a few things that actually made me a lil money.
more than enough to pay me back for my Apple Dev account and my GameSalad Subscriptions and any assets purchased. Im frustrated with the direction
gamesalad is going. ( or should I say their stagnant progression).

I need to know if GMS2.0 can provide what I need based on my knowledge level. Its Pros and Cons.

Could I possibly bother you to answer some basic questions on this softwares abilities?
