Ask Me Anything About Unity (Udemy.com)

The explanations given are stripped down to the basics and very straight forward. The instructor makes each of the concepts easy to understand. Each lesson is just the right size and not bloated with any unnecessary complexities. This is a great beginner introduction.

It's a bit hard to rate this course overall because there are so many topics, but Penny is thorough and clear throughout all her courses in general. This one currently covers: DOTS (ECS) - Target seeking missiles - Quest system - DB IO - Animating facial expr - Intro AR - Object pooling - Asset bundles

Every course I have taken from Dr. Penny de Byl is so incredibly informative. I only needed this course for the information on the Unity/MySQL database setup and as usual, my expectations were exceeded. I am looking forward to diving into the other content as well!

She is clearly a practiced educator. She presents good examples explained concisely. There’s not a lot of time wasted with typing code or editing bad code. Instead she explains the code clearly while also explaining the development choices that were made. Excellent. Thank you.

I thought for a long time what can be written, because course is good enough without any comments, but I want to give a feedback to push it up. Dr. Penny's courses (everyone) are some of the most useful in my collection. Unlike hobbyists, there are many mathematical and academic concepts that are skipped in most courses. Sometimes there are a lot of useful literary recommendations, and again, they are academic, not amateur. I am glad that the Ph.D. has created such good content for people who cannot apply to academia or university like me.

It's hard to come up with good intermediate-level projects – ones that are built up enough to demonstrate a concept/technique without getting bogged down in implementation details. But Penny is great at it! I'm very familiar with Unity and with programming but I'm finding these walkthroughs very helpful as a basis for thinking about my own projects.

Very early in... I was expecting a bit more advanced information from part 1 of the ECS system section. The entirety of this part one didn't really do anything ECS related at all... It was just a simple set up of a scene and gameobjects for a very simple example. Personally, I think that could have been skipped entirely if the resources are shared. If a user is learning ECS this early on, it takes a much greater understanding of Unity and development in general than what it takes to setup such a simple project from premade resources, so it seems pointless to explain in such detail how to do this, rather than really diving straight into ECS which takes so much more to understand. I cant help but feel that the ECS information ahead is going to be incredibly shallow given that 30% of the section was setting up a non-ecs scene. However, I do enjoy the teacher and the explanations/tutorial they are giving ARE very clear. This is my first Udemy course so I dont fully understand why its asking me for a review on the first section... I'm sure my opinion will change throughout the course.

I love that you are covering some intermediate game development topics here in bite-sized tutorials that I can take as I need them. (I am tired of slogging through beginner tutorials, just so that I can learn one new technique.) For example, I am writing my first adventure game, and needed help developing a quest system. Your section on quests is focused, simple and to the point. It looks like it will be easy to use it as a starting point for my own quest system. Thank you!

I was a little hesitant to purchase this course at first. I wasn't sure of the the direction the other students would be requesting. After finishing Dr. Penny's AR section, I was certainly glad I did! This is the 4th course I've engaged in by Penny de Byl, and she is the only instructor I trust on Udemy. Every single example, explanation, and project is highly comprehensible and fun. She has a very unique way of getting across to her students, unlike any other tutorialist I've encounted on Udemy.

I have been looking for a course for Unity just like this one for a long time, not one that teaches the same thing most other courses teach, just in a different way. But one that takes obscure topics and fully explains how it works and how to do it in your own programming. This course is Awesome!
