What I want to teach you.

What is it that I want to teach you? I want to teach and inspire you to not only learn but to be a creative problem solver. It’s not up to me to teach you the solution. It’s to teach you how to find the solution for yourself. To use your mind. To discover to Create and the passion to share

This is a short statement of intent rather than a tutorial: what Jerry actually wants you to walk away with from the Bliz Studio channel. It's worth reading before you start a tutorial series, because it explains why the videos are structured the way they are.

The goal is not to hand you solutions

The stated aim is to teach and inspire you to be a creative problem solver, not to hand you the solution. That distinction shapes everything else. A tutorial that gives you a finished answer teaches you one answer. A tutorial that teaches you how the answer was found teaches you every similar answer after it.

The framing here is to use your mind to discover, to create, and to build the passion to share what you found with others. The sharing part is not decoration. Explaining a solution is how you find out whether you actually understand it.

Failure is the mechanism, not the setback

The claim is blunt: to learn, you need to fail. You pick yourself up, fail again, and through each successful failure you learn. Calling a failure successful is not a motivational trick, it's an accurate description of what happened. You now know one more thing that doesn't work, and you know why.

Three things get counted as wins here. Each failure is a success. Each answer you find for yourself is a success. And every time you ask for help, that is also a success. That last one matters for anyone who has sat stuck on a bug for two days rather than post a question.

Ask for the way, not the answer

The habit being encouraged is to always question, and specifically to not ask for the answer but to ask for the way to find the answer. In practice this changes how you use forums, documentation, and Discord. Instead of asking someone to fix your FSM, you ask how they would go about diagnosing it.

It's slower the first time and much faster the tenth. Jerry describes challenging himself every day with problems he doesn't know how to accomplish, and points out that it is in finding the answers for ourselves that we grow.

Keep going through the downs

Life will constantly challenge you, and there will be ups and downs. What carries you through is described as the fire within yourself that drives your body and your mind to keep moving forward regardless of the challenges in front of you.

The closing charge is to invest in yourself three ways: by failing, by learning, and by finding your own path and the creativity to find that solution. Do that consistently and what you end up building isn't just a game. It's you.
