I took Gurpreet's starter course for gamemaker, and I bought this one without hesitation. I am 30 years old, and I have never seen somebody explain things so well. I feel like I am actually learning, and not just hearing.

I've had some experience with Gamemaker Studio 2 before and took Udemy courses outside this one.
The information here is really digestible and easy to take in.
