Will Goldstone 4.0 book?

Hi there. I've been hearing amazing things about Will Goldstone's book on Unity 3.x and want to get into but but i'm wondering if he has plans to release a book on 4.0. I've heard that a lot of stuff from that book is still relevent to Unity 4.0 but if im already spending 50 bux, i'd rather spend it on something more current rather than having to translate how the instructions for 3.x go to 4.0 and given the complexity of Unity already, I think that would be better. I've tried to go through tutorials on the learning section that are apparently brand new, but they look like they were also made for 3.x which makes it very confusing to try and follow.

Thanks.

 

Don't distract Will. He needs to focus on finishing up the Learning section tuts first. No one appreciates a job 1/2 done...

 

Somehow my reply to this got lost. Thats exciting that you are doing both, great work. I was a little confused on the learn section, for example I see this. Checked with version: 3.5 Difficulty: Beginner Date: 10 Apr 2013

So looking at this beginner tutorial, it was written very recently but for version 3.5? I'm a bit confused as to why there are new tutorials being designed for an old version of unity. I tried to get started with the stealth tutorial that is apparently new but I was a little discouraged when starting off, it already wasnt the same screen as the free version of unity 4 that i downloaded. THis is why I wanted to wait for a 4.0 book.

Do you have an ETA on your book at all? If its a long ways away then I might just buy the 3.x version anyway. Is it still possible to get the free/paid version of Unity 3.5 so I can follow the book easier and then transfer my skills to 4.0 once i'm more familiar?

Thanks

 

You can find previous versions of Unity here: http://unity3d.com/unity/download/archive

 

Your book is required for my intro game class so hurry up so I can update

 

Thanks for the reply. I will definately get the 3.x book then and maybe ill just download the free version of unity 3.x to start off with so its easier to follow and once I have some experience, AND your new book is out, then ill get 4.x.

Thanks again.

 

any news on a 4.x book, mr goldstone?

 

^ I'd also like to know if there's any news - I'd pounce on a 4.x version of the book in a flash!
