Ark Dev Kit Tutorials E01-E05(Episodes added regularly)
Mystic Academy Tuts Introduces The Ark Dev Kit Series
I have noticed that a lot of modders need help with things in the kit so I decided to start doing some video tutorials for the community. I believe it would be more fun making mods if there were more people out there competing. The way I can help with that is by trying to pass what I have learned while building mods. I take requests for tuts as well. Considering videos have been rare lately thought I'd add up to date stuff. Keep an eye on my channel a lot of new tuts will be coming out for the dev kit.
