REVIEWS OF MAMMOTH INTERACTIVE
"Captivating voice, easy to follow at a rapid pace, get some paper and fasten your seat-belts. I'm enjoying every second of this. Literally, I bought this course for specific lectures of the Python + Tensorflow aspects, and after 2 hours I already know way more than after 10 hours of the Zero-to-Deep-Learning." - Philip Murray
"This course is a great way to get introduced to coding and bringing the game together from a full SLDC stance. The instructors are responsive, and the Q&A sections are extremely helpful. 100% worth the time invested to learn through this course." - Derek Hass
"Incredible course. Looking forward for more content like this. Thank you and good job." - Joniel Gallo

very good but some ideas from me, sometimes it goes very fast, some parts that i think is important, like sub conditions or sub events. when you talk about a topic like prototyping, you start explaining it with some examples, that is fine, but for me, it would be much better to say first what is the problem and then introduce prototyping as solution and then explain it.

I love learning about all the possible games I could make with Construct 3! I already paid for the standard version so I'M READY TO MAKE SOME GAMES!
By David A Ralano on 3/19/2023
Very informative with exactly the information I needed.
By Boris Bessonov on 2/24/2023
Each game repeats the same actions that were described in the previous one - creating a project, creating sprites, and so on — it looks like a waste of time. So there is less and less real new information with each video. I would like to see in this course a review of the functionality of the engine, for example, about each item does in the spreadsheet System action, how to do advanced scripts.
By Amy Saunders on 10/3/2022
Some of your code doesn't work. For example, in the couch co-op game you just showed us both of your players died and your game didn't restart. It's very frustrating!

Beautifully designed highly recommended , especially for beginners .

Previous course by John Bura for the construct 2 was amazing but i still not finished the that course. Ii just purchased this latest course and expecting this course also amazing because of his amazing simple style of explanation. I hope i will make something good after this. _________________________ Video Number 64 and 65 are same, please upload Video 65 again.

Fantastic course! Detailed and nice presentation. Many example projects (games) making this course suitable for anyone that wants to build mobile and web games.
By Gareth on 6/12/2019
Tutor makes a lot of confusing mistakes and leaves some topics unfinished. The gamepad section is a good example. We are told that we may need some extra events to make it work but we are never told what they are. It also feels very unprepared as there are a lot of "ums" and "ahs" and instances where the tutor loses his trail of thought. This may be the first course I have to request a refund for but I will stick with it for a few more sections in hope as there is definitely potential here
