Become a Game Designer the Complete Series Coding to Design (Udemy.com)

This course has so much potential...So here it is, for beginners, Sure, it's fine but here are the major flaws for me as a beginner.80% Of the content is out of date, and as a beginner even if something is moved or named differently, that matters.i found myself 50% of the time going trough google and youtube to find something up to date for that specific thing.(which is not bad considering i will do it even as a pro, but not good for a course)the other 50% i would figure it out alone but that made me delay on one lecture too much time.another thing that is not super important but is out there is that in most videos the sound of the instructor is really low for some reason..(not a deal breaker)and third which in a way relate to the first, and that is, there is no one to talk to, the Q&A is almost dead and the "teacher" does not reply to messages, which can be frustrating.SO!in over all conclusion:YES- it did give me a jump start into this game dev worldBUT= YES, you can get a more updated version of all of this using google and youtube. (also i've seen some more newer version here in udemy)one last thing that i would like to mention is:there were pros:- a lot of content, and very specific. which is convenient for re-learning- teacher might be low sound but explain very good over all-feels organized in the order they expose you to everythinglast thing i would like to say is that you don't make a lot of projects on this course, so if that is important to you, make sure to get other courses that are for that alone.

So far its a bit slow but thats to be expected if your getting an introduction.

there are new versions of unity available and visual studio so its making it very difficult for me to understand and i still have alot of questions

Pretty great but could be a bit more exciting instead of droning on forever maybe a more entertaining voice too but not a weird one that gets annoying after a while.

This course contains a tremendous amount of information on all aspects of video game design.

Most of the tutorials are good. However, I came across a video tutorial that uses deprecated usages.. like in lecture 58. Anything that has been deprecated should be replaced with an updated version of the video.

It had good information, but the course itself is severely outdated and the instructor is painfully monotone troughout the lectures.

The course is outdated, the current issue I have is with the coding for changing color on an object, I am already frustrated from the countless solutions I have found that have never worked. Please can there be an up-to-date course for this please, the coding is different and I can't go on with the course.

Pros:PresentationDelivery-Video/Audio Quality-VernacularCons:Deprecated Code (Reason for the loss of stars)Presentation of the content was well done. Explained in detail where and how to use Unity Reference Manual for additional help. The reason for the major loss of stars is that Unity has deprecated a lot of code and integrated API usage a lot more in coding. I understand that life gets busy as I am aware of that myself however, I shouldn't have to go find answers to tutorials. It's one thing to say "Hey, here's how you change the color. Now go find how you get the color" aka homework or exercises. There is an Unreal Engine 4 course by Ben Tristem. In the description "*NEW* Every section of the course is being fully updated and remastered to Unreal Engine 4.22+". This is an example, I'm not looking for a fully remastered course however I do expect that when I pay for a course that the content isn't using deprecated code.

Quite disappointing to be honest. I don't really feel like I am learning about Unity or game design for that matter. The more I try and sit through this course, the less I enjoy game design. This course is not enjoyable in any way shape or form. I've learned more completing one project on the unity.learn website than I have watching twenty plus videos from this program. The videos are very hard to follow along as they are not scripted well and there is a constant 'buzzing' noise in the background of EVERY video. The examples that he uses absolutely suck and don't give me any type of understanding on what I am actually doing. He just has very poor explanations of what he is doing, and it doesn't seem like he is conducting lessons as much as he just filmed himself messing around in Unity. All-in-all I would recommend another program to follow. This course is HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. Do not purchase.

02.05.19Most things are outdated, since the videos were made back in 2014. Even the files provided inside the folders cannot be used. This is so disappointing.---------------------------------28.04.19I'm at 84th Lecture. This course is definitely NOT for a beginner.If you want to buy this course, you should have good understanding of programming and have good logical thinking , which you will need very very very often in this course. Functions, methods, and objects are keep getting called from everywhere, and it's hard to keep track. Also, new terms are keep getting introduced without any good explanation of what they are, what they do, and why we use them.

The course is terribly long, and the learning points are scattered across too many short videos with AWFUL sound quality, and it gets worse the further you get in the course.I did not even bother with the second part of the course as it requires Maya to be done, and Maya is no longer free, except if you're willing to get a one-time 30 day free trial to try to complete the course.I have to say, this is a nice introduction to the Unity engine, and the shooting ball mini-game was fun to create, but overall, the course is just way too boring and feels way too long.
