I’m not sure if I’ll do the voice-overs or not, but even if I don’t I’ll make sure the videos easy to understand. Stay tuned.
Backing up all systems now. Preparing for video production. You probably don’t need the play by play, but hey I’m excited. 
So the first video is ready. It’s a quick overview of the Character Blueprint and its components. Uploading now.
K, people, the first vid is up. I’ll publish it tomorrow. Working on the second vid now. The second may have voice overs in there.
K, here’s the first in the new Tutorial and Overview series:
Enjoy.
2nd video coming right up - we’ll explore the use of notifies, montages, combat mechanics and RPG mechanics, with practical examples as well.
It’s taking a bit, but rest assured the video is coming soon.
K, guys, the new vid is still uploading to YouTube, and I’ve submitted the June 2017 update to Epic Games. Hopefully it should be on the Marketplace anytime from next week.
Ah, it’s finally uploaded. Here’s the second video in the Tutorial and Overview Series:
In this episode, we talk about the use of Notifies and Montages and how we drive events with them, and also discuss how the AI makes decisions. We also show how customizable The Art of Combat is (it is very customizable :D).
Oh, and yeah, there are voice-overs in this one :).
Enjoy!
Hey guys,
The June 2017 update is now live! You’ll also find the previous version in the _Legacy folder. Have fun!
Hey guys! As promised, the June 2017 update is now live. There’ll be a price increase come June, so you can still get it at the current price right now (with the update).
Have a good one guys!
So a third video is in the works, and that’ll cover SFX, Camera Direction, a more in-depth look at how to add your own montages per class so each class is unique, how to edit damage factors and variables like the range of tracing, and how to configure inputs.

Hey guys! More videos are coming, but in the meantime, here are some progress updates on a new component I’m working on for Adrayvia: The Team Hierarchy Component. It should be done in a few days, and I may or may not release it for TAOC, depending on a number of factors, including the number of direct wish lists for it.

Hey @Maxx_Rexx - just purchased this today, created a new project for it (to migrate into my game and got the following:
Any thoughts on how to proceed?
Sure. From what I see, looks like you edited the folder hierarchy. Just do a clean migration, and there won’t be any issues. UE4 has some issues with struct dependencies, and that’s the cause of that. Just do a clean migration, and after don’t put the _ADNeo folder into another folder. If you have to, then at least do it within the editor, not within windows explorer or something like that.
That should solve that. In any case, this is not quite the quickest way to reach me - you can use Skype or Discord.
