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

Great starter course to help you learn some of the fundamentals of building a game. It great way to learn your way around unity.

By Boxlord001 on 10/27/2020

This lesson helps me understand coding concepts better than my professor does. The tutor explains exactly what you need to know in a way that is easy to digest. I really like the step by step layout of his lessons that I don't get from school. It's making me think why the heck do I need college when this course is so much better.

By Christopher Stampfer on 10/27/2020

I love the course and I am learning so many new things and I cant wait to see what else we will be adding to our little game throughout the rest of the course!

By Francisco Meneu on 10/23/2020

Would be nicer with a gigher resolution video

By John Espiritu Santo on 9/19/2020

The instructor is able to explain things that are easy for me to follow thus I'm able understand better and I'm learning a lot! Very helpful for game making!

By Gary Mander on 9/16/2020

Yes this is what I expected right now. Instructor is clear and concise, which makes this easier.

By Dylan Ravel on 9/16/2020

Love this tutorial it is so helpful. I love how he explains every bit of code and why he is putting this bit of code here and there. Obviously, there are things that are still a bit confusing but I really feel as if I am getting the hang of things!!!

By Barry Corman on 9/8/2020

My favorite course I have taken so far. Instruction is top notch and all material is thoroughly explained.

By Ernesto Emanuel Mata Tello on 9/8/2020

Amazing course, instructions clear and explained will definitely be able to do 1 game on my own now

By Georgina Bennett on 9/5/2020

This course has taught me a great deal about the art of making games. The video is easy to follow and gives great detail.

By Tyler on 8/9/2020

I was watching a lot of tutorials on YouTube before. James' tutorials were the most helpful for someone just getting started. He does well explaining things and giving helpful tips that make the process much easier and enjoyable.

By Jack Jara on 7/16/2020

as of so far I'm learning everything I need to and I cant wait to see what more is in store. Only problem is he is using a different free virson of unity that I could not find so I'm using unity hub and somethings are different so it a little hard to follow the instructions.
