About
I've been promising for a while now that I'd write up a load of guides to cover everything to do with Origins. Now that the engine is slowly entering the Beta phase of its development it's time for me to write up some guides to tell you how to use it and to explain the nuances of the software. These guides will be released in sections, the first of which will explain the basics of starting up your first game, how to release your game to your friends and the like. We'll get more and more advanced the more tutorials I release eventually getting to the point where I'll explain the more complicated parts of adding stuff to the engine, such as new animated buttons, adding data to the entity UDTs and the like. I can't promise timely release of new guides but I'll do my best to push out a couple of them when I get a couple of hours of free time. This section will take a while to fully finish so I ask that you're all patient and don't spam my inbox complaining that I haven't explained a certain part of the software - I will eventually I just won't have gotten around to it yet.
Index
This is the master index of all the tutorials I release. This is here because when I do create the tutorials they'll be in their own individual threads and will be pushed out of order by people's posts. As such I need a way of presenting them all to the public in the chronological order as they'll make little sense otherwise. When I make a new tutorial it'll be placed in one of these sections so check back regularly. All the topics in this list will be locked. This is to stop people +1ing their post counts with the usual 'This tutorial is useful for people who don't understand the subject matter' bullshit. If you have a genuine query about the tutorial or don't understand a specific part of it please post a new thread in the 'Questions & Answers' section.
