great tutorial as always, I remember when I started learning unreal from your videos back in 2019, I was 14 years old back then, I used to open my laptop at the break between classes and watch your videos, ahh these were my best days with Dora, time flies fast .
GOD BLESS YOU <3

I'm Brazilian and I saw your video, I want to tell you that it helped me a lot. I've been trying to do this for 3 days without stopping and just watching your video I managed to do it. Thank you very much!

By far the best tutorial I've seen covering UE. Well organized and instructed clearly. Thanks a bunch for this.

Thanks for making this tutorial and next time I am going to use my notebooks to write down notes by writing down the instructions because this looks a bit complicated for me as a beginner. I just download and tried out UE5 yestarday for the first time. But I need to work on that. You are a life saver because you are the best teacher! 😁👍
