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

The instructor is very good at keeping the course structured and not confusing. The instructor does a great job of explaining the code.

Great course. Easy to follow and a great instructor. Will be doing his other courses.Game code is at the end and wish I'd known sooner but perhaps it helped having to find my errors and change them,

Absolutely loved this course. I am a veteran of Unity courses on Udemy and James explains the subject matter clearly and with real-world examples. He's engaging and knowledgable. It has elements for beginner and intermediate Unity developers and this is a great jumping-off point for anyone wanting to start making games.

Overall it is a useful Unity course. if you are new to Unity or game development you will learn a lot of things. There is always a but.. The instructor does not use functions to tidy his code. It just kind of bothered me. Sometimes he writes same code block two or tree times. He could have use function for repetitive code blocks. This a good course for learning a cool improvable Space Shooter like games. Don't hasitate to buy it.

This course works at a good enough pace for a beginner, explaining things well as we go through it. It also feels practical without getting excessive.The assets provided are rather charming as well.

I really enjoyed this course and feel encouraged to continue to advancing my education in this intimidating field.James was consice and easy to follow.My one criticism is that I had real difficulty keeping up with James when it came to writing actual code. My pause button had a real workout with this one.All in all a very enjoyable course and I will be looking out for future courses by James.

By Tim Silverpanda on 3 months ago

Yes it is good, I know most of the basics since before, but I'm a bit rusty so nice hearing it all again from a pro.
