Great books! They have been of great help for me.

Cheers Cat, I’m working on adding the updated features in the book. Shouldn’t take long!

Now I can get the step-by-step approach to learning , easily!

I have to say a BIG thank you. Seriously you’re making an epic work with these books. I made already the projects of the first book and i’m going to start asap with the second one (as soon as you update the book with the updated 4.5 features because i’m using version).

Ps. Can i send you a pm or mail asking a question regarding your books?

Thanks! And yeah, please do email me! [EMAIL=“contact@.co.uk”]contact@.co.uk

fernandoz, goto Amazon and look for the 2nd book there. I got mine just under $10 and thats w/ shipping and handling.

Thanks! I hope you enjoy!

Thanks for these great books.

Has there been any revisions for compatibility with the later versions of UE4? Is the link the same?

Thanks

Revisions have yet to be made however they’re have only been minor changes to the engine in terms of things covered in the books and you should have no problem following them in their current state!

Ahh that is great. Thanks!!

Hello everyone.

It’s with a heavy heart that I have to announce all the pending projects are currently on-hold as my computer had a major meltdown and I’ve lost EVERYTHING.

When I say everything, I mean all the past free books, all four of the future free books (Including “So You Want To Make Video-Games?”) as well as the massive template archive I was creating to share (Radio system, Rewind Time, Superhero .etc). I have also lost all two years worth of work on Super Distro.

What does mean? - means that until I can afford a new computer, all work on the free content (As well as Super Distro) has to be cancelled until I can purchase a new computer and re-create all the assets to give-away.

I could sit around and be depressed at the massive loss of work, moap around about the fact I’ve lost two years worth of work but I won’t. I’ll keep my head held high.

My friends told me the best thing to do (As I have no income at the moment as I was working on all the content) would be to create a “GoFundMe” and ask for donations to help the situation.

is a link to that call for Donations: Click .

I am terribly sorry to anyone who was looking forward to the future free content and let it be known that there WILL be more free content in the future - It’s just I can’t currently create it without a computer.

Thanks for your attention everyone, I’m sorry that I sound like a scrounger, It’s just I don’t know what to do after losing >Two years worth of work.

Much love everyone,

P.S - Get off-site storage and back-up EVERYTHING you do.

Wow, thats terrible news! However, If you manage to get enough funding, I suggest taking your computer to a specialist to see what can be recovered from it. It is surprising what a skilled person can recover from a trashed computer. Though, if it doesn’t work out, sorry to get your hopes up. D: :sadface: In any case, good luck in all your future endeavors. I just KNOW you will get funding!

omg that’s really terrible, sorry mate :frowning:
What happened exactly to your computer if i may ask? it’s something related to the hdd? even if it’s depending on how much damage it gots you can recover much from it.

Hi is there perhaps a way I could Donate via PayPal?
Not very comfortable using my actual CC.

I wont be able to contribute a huge amount (As the exchange rate is high R17.7328 = 1£) but Im sure every little bit will assist you.

You do deserve a Donation as your book did assist.

Some very sad news, so sorry.

But, nothing is ever lost. First of all, don’t try booting the computer anymore, instead take the hard drive out and store it safely somewhere. The rest of the hardware is meaningless and could be replaced or salvaged, what you’re really after is the data. Get shopping around for forensic data recovery in your area and see how much that would cost. Then start a funding campaign towards that goal and I’m sure everyone would put some money towards it.

I understand, it’s happens to me , I just lost two hard drives (1TB), I’m still trying to get my work but it is very difficult, because when I copy files, hard drives disappears every time…

what is happened ?

Good luck


he gived his Paypal button : https://.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?50371-Free-Mini-Project-The-Horror-Project

Thank you.Will use soon

Ouch…Computer Death, I’ve had that happen to me too, several times, most recently 5 months ago, when my 4TB external drive decided to format itself to an unrecoverable state, and all my backed up data (and roughly 7 years worth of 3d work), was lost.

I wish you luck it getting back on your feet soon, being forced to start over is never easy.

I’ll gladly donate something on paypal as soon as i’m able.

Hey everyone, Almost back up and running. All the files are still gone but my beautiful girlfriend has stepped in and has helped re-build the dev machine so it’s more stable and helping me set up source control so it won’t happen again! It’ll take time to get everything 100% back to where it was but I’m sure I can catch up pretty quickly if I put my mind to it!

Thanks to everyone for your support and thanks to Epic for all the help too, Everybody in community is totally amazing, No idea what I’d do without you all!
