I'm posting this here since the only help I could find on this topic came from a rather vague YouTube video that moves too fast to see.
When Amazon SES gives you your TXT and CNAME records, you don't enter the part that is your domain on namecheap.
Amazon gives you:
Record Type: TXT (Text)
TXT Name*: _amazonses.osmstudios.com
TXT Value: <string of random characters>
The value stays the same but the TXT Name should just be "_amazonses" No need to add the domain name.
Same thing for the DKIM records. Simply drop your domain name from the host entry.

Part 3 - Creating and Loading Levels is finally up! I have no defense for how long that took me, but I have set a stricter publishing goal for the remaining parts.
In part 4, which will be up in two weeks on October 22nd, we'll revisit the player and create a more responsive experience for the player.

I haven't been posting here frequently, but I thought I'd give you all a look at my last project. A couple of months ago, Austin (of ARK Design) and I designed and built a little game in Phaser. It was an entry in GitKraken's game contest.
I will continue working in Phaser, but I don't think it'll replace Love2d's place in my heart. If you want to see my Phaser experiment, use the link below. Best with two players!

In the past few weeks a number of readers have sent small donations to my paypal account, enough in fact, to cover hosting the website for this month. The largest donation was $3 with $1 being the most common.
I just wanted to thank you all and let you know that I'm working on building a switch into the site that turns off advertisements. I think everyone adblocker or not deserves to read a tutorial without someone trying to sell you something.
