Hey folks,

Thanks for all the support over the past few months. The Unity3D iOS Beginners Guide (which started out as a set of tutorials), has finally been released to stores worldwide. Unity3.5 has added quite a few things which will be covered in a revision with the Intermediate guide.

Thanks again!

This is great but i can still not download my bought copy from packtpub :frowning:
But happy that it will be here soon :slight_smile:

Cool! I don’t think it makes sense for this not to be sold via iBooks, though…

Oh neat, I was actually looking for this yesterday to check out!
A lot of the Unity iOS books are pretty bad though, I hope this is better.

bawdanu is a promo code for 40% off ebooks from packtpub.

I now have downloaded it and happy that there is a weekend now :slight_smile:

Unfortunately outside of my control.

The book will be good for people trying to get started. 3.5 added a bunch of stuff after the ship date for the book so that will be covered in the revision.

How can we relate the absurdity to those in control?

I had your book Unity iOS Game Development pre ordered since originally announced. Packt Publshing sent me an email at 5am my time today, Friday 2/24/2012 saying it was now available and I could download my copy. I went to the site immediately and downloaded the PDF as I was really excited to read it finally. I put it on my iPad and went off to work. While at work I began reading thru the book and came to find there were chapter files / resource files for the book that were necessary to follow along with the book and complete the exercises. I went back to the Packt site to download the files, thinking I must have missed them in my excitement earlier. To my dissapointment they were nowhere to be found on their site for download. :frowning: I was very much looking forward to working through the book in its’ entirety over the weekend and the timing couldn’t have been better to do so. For now it looks like I have to shelf the book until I can acquire the missing files. I wanted to reach out to you, being the author and see if there was any information on how to get the files since I purchased the e book legitimately and now can’t actually follow along. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

For those who haven’t received files associated with the eBook, know that I am working with the publisher to resolve this issue so that you can follow along with the examples.

Bought and obviously missing something, where’s this chapter?

  • Build a multiplayer game using Apple’s Game Center and Unity Networking
12

where are those tutorials hosted?

13

sorry my mistake…

14

lol just bought the ebook version and Im also missing the multiplayer chapter… what happened?!

15

They just posted the files for download at Submit Errata but I don’t think they are the correct files because there is no Chapter 1 folder.

16

did any one make an animation for solider from chapter 7 ?

17

Hi guys. I’m working out the issues with Packt. I will be back this weekend with an update.

Files are being uploaded to the site:

Thanks, new links are working fine.

Is there any new information regarding the multiplayer chapter? That was a major buying factor for me…

The model that I downloaded from the Unity Assets store didn’t have bones attached to it and I think that is why it isn’t animating. Anyone else have a similar issue?
