Monster Robot Game Salad guides!

ashtmj

Hey everyone,

I've started work on some guides that I HOPE will be helpful for some of the users here on the forums.
the first 3 videos cover:

1: smooth inverted camera swipe movement
2: quick menu system (using mostly the same actors as in the cam swipe vid)
3: making a platformer part I, how to make a walk, jump and attach animated images to your player.

Let me know if you like them and I'll try to keep 'em coming!

sorry the sound is off and I say "so" SO much, gotta get the hang of talking while working

Thanks
-Ash

Just posted making a platformer parts 2-4, they should all be live in the next 20 mins or so.
in them I cover:

making a ledge that the player can jump through.
making a ledge that moves back and forth and how to make the player move with it when they land on it.
making a up and down moving ledge.
making locked doors that can be opened using a actor key and tables.

The_Gamesalad_Guru

Nice to have some more videos. One tip. Give more explanation of what and why something is done. New users really need this information, other than that good job.

ashtmj

Thanks for the feedback @the_gamesalad_guru

Great tutorials !

The_Gamesalad_Guru

Slow down your presentation, remember people are trying to follow along and tell people why your doing what your doing. The idea is to teach a bit and so it's not just a copy and paste thing. In order to learn we have to know why we are doing something. Keep at it.

I personally prefer the quicker tempo tutorials over the slow laborious ones! I learn by seeing what is put together to achieve the end result

AlchimiaStudios

I can see newer users wanting a bit slower paced video and more intermediate/advanced users looking for a snippet of code or quick video for a new concept/viewpoint, so maybe a mix of both would be optimal.
