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

    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.

    Nice tutorial! Thanks for sharing!

  • The_Gamesalad_GuruThe_Gamesalad_Guru Member Posts: 9,922

    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.

  • ashtmjashtmj Member, PRO Posts: 405

    Thanks for the feedback @the_gamesalad_guru :)

    Spinning ledges!

    more to come

    Great tutorials !

  • The_Gamesalad_GuruThe_Gamesalad_Guru Member Posts: 9,922

    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.

  • beefy_clyrobeefy_clyro Member Posts: 5,394

    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

    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. :D
