1. The annotations for this video give some time-saving notes, so make sure those are on if you're making as you watch.
2. Here's the playlist of all the parts so far: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUtKzyIe0aB2HjpmBhnsHpK7ig0z7ohWw
3. We're using the free 'Standard' edition of Game Maker Studio for Windows, which you can grab here: http://www.yoyogames.com/studio/download
4. I do about 2-4 episodes a week, whenever I have time, there's no more specific schedule than that.
5. Here's JW from Vlambeer's great talk about how to improve game feel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJdEqssNZ-U We'll tackle this later and I will steal much from it.
