Instructor Details

Hi, I'm James. I have helped thousands of people learn how to develop their own games in Unity, and whether you're a first-time developer, or need to refresh your skills, I can help you learn to make the games you want to make.
With a bachelors degree in Computer Science and a background working in independent game development, I have been helping others to create their own games and release them on multiple platforms.
I believe in helping you learn by teaching code in context, so rather than having to memorize a bunch of stuff you've never seen before, you learn how each coding concept can be applied to real working problems in your games.
I can't wait to help you learn all about making your own games and how to make them a success.
So why not start learning to make games with me now?
See you soon!
James

very good course

By David Yachanin on 11/15/2020

His assets don't work properly. I don't know what it is with this guys assets but they don't download or work properly. This teacher is the only one I have issues with as far as that goes. And when I send him a message about it he doesn't respond. I had to get my money back on 2 of his other courses because of issues with the assets. You need to care a little more about your students James, and respond to their messages.

easy and useful. Amazing

By Steffen Tobias Meier on 10/23/2020

This is a good course to learn all the fundamental things about unity. It is a little sad, I feel, that except those super basic fundamentals very little else is explored in the project itself, that could take it that one step further to give you the learning edge.

Q and A is a JOKE

Great Course A+ Instructor

By Glen Kowalski on 9/3/2020

New to Unity and so far blown away by the difference in experience this instructor has compared to some youtube tutorials I watched. He really knows how to apply Unity's features and has already helped me solve some noob issues I was having.

By Shreyans Jain on 7/14/2020

It is a really good course. I just love it! Of course I had a few hiccups along the way, but I just went through the course again and I got everything beautifully! Great job making this course!

By Jeff Luke on 7/7/2020

Really great tutorial! I learned quite a bit about the structure of C# and the teacher really helps you understand why you're doing each part of the process.

By Ronald Welch on 7/2/2020

Another great beginner level course. James gives very good explanations and has a very good presentation.
