At first I didn't like the speed of the instruction, however I was new to unity in general. Upon reviewing the videos after running through a part of the course I realized I was grateful for the the speed as I could quickly find and remind myself on knowledge from the course. Educate yourself with unity as a program first before this course and you'll get much more out of it! Great course overall!

By Stojan Acimovic on 3/16/2022

There have been no replies from Blackthornprod in regards to issues one might encounter when following the course. The course should've been at least twice as long because Noa just zooms through expecting the average viewer to have completed his previous courses. It's marked as beginner, which is certainly not. (maybe change that?) If I hadn't done several courses already there wouldn't be a chance for me to follow along. It's a real shame.

O Curso foi muito bem explicado, sua simplicidade ficou fascinante. Uma das coisa que detesto em cursos: * Não fornecer material, "Assests", não ensinar todas as mecânicas que serão usadas, por exemplo no particle effects poderia ter explicado como configurar, mas deixou a desejar. Por esses motivos não gerou uma pontuação melhor.

By Nalin Banskota on 2/25/2022

Well structured, easy to understand and fun to make , multiplayer game. Although the C# section is for beginners, I found the photon section required a little more explanation even though Noa has really simplified it. I found myself having to search elsewhere for network errors but eventually got it solved. I highly recommend this course.

By Jaydee Alkema on 1/29/2022

Really nice and easy to understand course! I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone who wants to start learning Photon. I would have liked it if some extra possibilities had been shown, like how to tackle if each player has their own health, score, camera, etc. But these can be fairly easy to code once you've finished this course! :)

By Thiago Nogueira on 10/15/2021

The thing I like the most about this course is how straight forward it is. 1.5 hours to learn the basics, I bought it for participating in a Game Jam (I had to learn quickly) and it totally worked! The only reason I won't give 5 stars is because Lobby creation a Lobby List were not mentioned at all! (it is 2021 people, no one is typing IP's or room names anymore!)

By Ananth on 6/7/2021

Clear, Simple to understand. Engaging too. Properly explained all the tiny details. Everything Important covered. Thankfully, short and slow enough, and not boring with less important facts. If you already know Unity Basics & never touched multiplayer, I'd say go for it.

By Flavio Fisicaro on 3/17/2021

The instructor is very straight to the point kind of guy, i personally liked it, but i think it might be challenging for some. The course is structered in a good way but/and requires some previous experience with Unity. Would have been nice to have the source code and assests attached to the lectures ( as in sometimes you could get stuck for some puntuaction error and it can be boring ) aswell as stuck doing particles and so on. Overall good introduction to Photon, and multiplayer games in general.

By Aakash Makhija on 2/22/2021

I liked the course a lot. This is the best course for beginners who want to learn photon multiplayer. I would suggest future learner to have some knowledge unity before starting. I finished this course in 3 days because I was simultaneously working on arts and UI. Highly recommended for those who want to learn photon multiplayer within a short span. Keep up the good work Noa and Liam. Cheers.

By Oliver Scott on 2/17/2021

The course may be short but I can assure you that it is a lot more worth it than some of the other courses with a daunting 30 hours of content. The course was extremely straight to the point and well explained, money well spent/
