Finish It! Motivation & Processes For Video Game Development (Udemy.com)

Finally, I finished Finish It! I'm one of those that initially didn't complete this course. This year I made commitment to finish what I started and this course was one of the top of the list. I have to say the workbook challenge was a real challenge for me as I don't have a game development in the works at the moment. So I decided to make this course (and other courses I have put of) as My Project for the workbook. I think overall Rick is good at really digging in and making us be Thoughtful and Intentional when doing the workbook challenge. I commit to revisit this course (and the workbook) as and when necessary as I go through other Projects in the future.

This course is fantastic and I really wish I had a teacher like Rick in my real life. I hope that this course will help completing my game and projecting myself into the future of my development. I am giving 4.5 stars instead of 5 because it seems that Udemy it's not the favourite environment for GameDev.tv Team courses. Rick doesn't answer questions and the course appears to be a little "abandoned". That's unfortunate because it's a very top quality course.

This is a great course ! Nail exactly where I struggle when making big projects. Also The tutor is speaking clearly and not too fast so even non native english like me can follow it without headaches !

25% through and will be coming back for more as I work on my projects, #1 on my custom Udemy categories to keep it in front of me when I log in. Rick does an amazing job at drawing out my honest evaluation of myself. Procrastination, finishing, and distractions have always been difficult for me but I think with this lesson's research and advice I'll be able to power forward. Thank you Rick and GameDev.tv folks! I'm very happy, I'll do my best to pay it forward.

Kesinlikle.

When I found this course on Udemy I was a bit skeptical because I have never believed in motivational, self-help books or coaching. But as I already studied with some of the other GameDev.tv courses, and I already had Rick as a teacher, I just bought the course to give it a chance.
And it was exactly what I needed. I have the habit of continously study and improve my skills through online courses, and with all the super useful courses that I have completed already, and that have given me skills to be more confident and a better all around professional, I think I have never had such an impact on my life than this course.
I have had fear of failure, I have been stuck at work for long periods of time, and a very low self steem and confidence in my skills (that's why I keep studying constantly, I guess). But Rick has not been just a positive input in my life. He doesn't limit to tell you "you can do it", but he picks you from the bad place I am sure you are in right now (if not, probably you won't be even thinking on buying this course) and give you the tools to get on your own feet.
And this part is important. This course offers no easy answer. I can't tell you, that if you want to finish your project, you will have to commit to it (several times). This is a point of inflexion on my life, and I can't wait to get to that 90 days and see what I am capable of. Maybe it will be a shit. But, hey, I don't mind. I already even know what I will do next!
Good Luck and Good Game!

He is a motivating instructor

This course provides lots of motivating perspective on getting to work. Even if you're like me, at the start of game development without any projects or value, there's still a lot of good information on how to get to work, staying motivated, how to view big projects and what to do when you do make a game. I'm glad I took this course. Now to get to work and make something!

So far the points have been very useful and thought provoking, I am enjoying the content so far, and the included work book that we have to fill out is a great tool for us to refer back to in the future.

Great course, well explained. It helps me a lot. Maybe, the voice may be too fast for a non-native English person, but lessons can be played more slowly (0.75x). Anyway, thanks a lot for this course.

Yes, also psychologically well designed :-))

Useful tips but feels slightly stretched out. Maybe could have done with a bit more look at stratergies for project management. However that is a block for me and the course has helped me identify this. Overall I think its a fairly broad but shallow course, which can certainly help exposure to ways to improve your productivity and how you should feel about your projects to actually complete them.
