Very well organized and presented. All of the instructions were clear a polished. I appreciate the effort that went into preparing all of the resources. I learned a great deal and now I want to learn more.

By Artem Gladun on 2/17/2024

Too boring, a lot of quiz to complete about elementary topics.

By Anonymized User on 9/21/2023

This course is somewhat out of date, but I was still able to follow it, though some parts were confusing because the instructions and descriptions no longer match Construct 3's interface/options/functionality. Still a quality course, though - I learned a lot!

By Adrián Rosario Perez on 4/29/2023

It was pretty good. I learned a lot, but I wish the instructor had explained more about why we are choosing certain values for things like UI text. Overall, I think this is a great starting point for anyone learning Construct 3, and in my opinion, it's better than any video tutorial you'll find on YouTube.

By Chris wilson on 11/16/2022

Amazing one of the best Udemy courses I have followed. I didn't complete all the sections online because the pdf resources are so brilliantly clear it was much easier to follow that. I really value this course and am looking forward to the next courses from James!

By Dennis Gajudo on 12/17/2021

This is a great course for those who would like to start their game development journey using Construct 3. I learned a lot from this course. James is a great teacher. He explained the fundamentals of Construct 3 game development in an understandable way. I hope he will create more courses in Construct 3.

By Renee Francis on 2/20/2021

This instructor is absolutely one of my favorites. I really as through once done, I'll be able to feel confident in my own game making. Really enjoying this course.

By Joe Howell on 6/20/2020

Wow, what a wild and crazy ride making my first Construct 3 game! James, I think you did a real nice job putting this tutorial together. You really took me through step-by-step. And while sometimes the steps seemed real slow, in the end, I appreciated the nuance and I value the way you took your time to explain the terms and functions of the simplest things. I highly recommend this as a beginner course for Construct 3.

By Muad MZ on 4/16/2020

One of the best and easiest courses to follow for a beginner. The guide and instructions throughout the course is just superb. I look forward to more Construct 3 platform courses like this. Ready to buy and learn.
