Patrons of Planet Chili have access to exclusive content produced in appreciation of your support. These videos are unlocked by using the Chili Bucks that you receive for your pledges (every $1 pledged earns one Chili Buck). There are also about 1.5 ~ 2 bonus videos per month that are automatically unlocked for active patrons (Chili Bucks can be spent to unlock back issues of these videos).

These videos are less produced and scripted than the main tutorial series. They generally take the form of candid views into Chili messing with stuff he is interested in, rather than detailed tutorials. The main reason for this is time constraints: if the Patreon content were as work-intensive as the mainline stuff, the tutorials would crawl to a stop, and that would run counter to the spirit of this Patreon.

Chili Fucks Unreal Engine 4

This series chronicles Chili's journey through the atrociously-documented world of Unreal Engine 4 C++ development. It is not a tutorial per ce, but rather a candid look at how someone might go about learning a new platform. Expect many expletives. Episodes of this series are currently being offered gratis to active Patrons as a Patreon perk at the time of their release.

This video covers the topic of exposing C++ member functions to the UE4 Blueprint scripting engine so that they may either be called or implemented in Blueprints. We also do said calling and implementing inside of Blueprints (this is not C++, Chili does not approve). The tutorial also covers using UE4 timers. Original Tutorial Link
