I agree, this community is super helpful. Also there is so much help offered soon after someone looks, that’s why when I can I start the day with just offering what I can to people who have even less experience than myself with UE4, or at least offering my broader vfx knowledge where I can. I wrote about my experience recently.
I wrote this in September when trying to write my save game system, here’s a quote
"Joel demonstrated something though that many people demonstrate on the Unreal forums and on youtube and other places, a willingness to grapple with the issues others have, and offer their help in resolving them.
So often we hear about the people who snipe on the web, and those who bully people, but Joel and others abound on the web. The community that shares in these videos help to create a sort of virtual game company, that shares information making a small team feel robust."

Up now at the crack of dawn in my studio to go at this again, feeling bolstered by the community. thanks. -finn
