a round of applause for all the unreal marketing and social media teams (person?) uploading so many videos!

They were all from Unreal Fest a couple of Weeks ago when they had a multiple day conference/convention.

Once you understand GAS, doesn't make sense to do games without it anymore. Great framework. Thanks for the information, Silent Games!

EPIC needs to build in something like the GASCompanion marketplace addon from the Marketplace to remove all the Boilerplate stuff and make it instantly accessible from BP.

[@bludbafMcgraf]

@@shannenmr There isnt a plausible way to. He mentions that pretty early on. Its impossible to nail down all the potential configurations... It would be pointless effort, when ppl could take an hour or two to just understand the differences. They would have to make like 50 boilerplate DAs

I recommend watching it at .75 speed. :)

[@skal3802]

Really good recommendation. I am usually watch videos at 1.5-2.0x and it's okay for me to process information, but here even me need something like 0.75-1.0
