Having come to Crytek with no experience using CRYENGINE, I know what it feels like to be new to and overwhelmed by its feature set, whether you’re an artist, a level designer, animator, or programmer. We’re going to create a standardized curriculum that teaches you the core concepts of using the tools as you build mini-games, and many shorter tutorials and long-form webinars in which our own experts show you best practices and their favorite tricks for game development using CRYENGINE. We’ll also be producing many tutorials on extending, customizing, and maximizing the power of the engine through C++.
To help us help you, please post all requests for learning materials here in this thread and your contributions in our Community Tutorials forum, as well as feedback on any learning assets as we post them. We know that you all have long wish lists for learning and support materials that we will be working to fulfill. Keeping your requests organized in this one forum will be a huge help; there are simply too many social media platforms and channels for us to be able to comb through thousands of posts looking for requests, although we make an effort to always keep an open channel on the CRYENGINE DEVELOPMENT Discord server where we are present for a more immediate approach.
Keep in mind that while we cannot respond to every individual request with a new tutorial, we will watch your requests to help us prioritize our learning asset production, and by making it much, much easier to learn and use CRYENGINE, we will also make it easier for you as community members to help each other. To that end, one of the first major posts you're going to see from me is a tutorial about how to make great tutorials, including tips specific to video production and written formats.
If you happen to be in Germany or around, you can be amongst the first to sign up for our first live CRYENGINE crash course at events being held at SAE Institute (Leipzig Dec. 9 and Hanover Dec. 16, 2017) and Games Academy (Frankfurt January 17 and Berlin January 31, 2018 - watch their web site for the official announcement). Note that these seminars will be conducted in English.
I’m looking forward to helping you all become CRYENGINE masters!
