Instructor Details

James Doyle

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 course!!! Well explained, easy to follow.

By Alexander Kazazis on 12/13/2020

This is a superb introduction (or refresher) to building a 2D platformer. The course covers all the basics (scripting, sprites, animation, front and back end menus, sound and music), but also walks you through an impressive array of features, including a moving platforms and switches, an interactive "map" screen a la SMB3, and rudimentary enemy AI. Everything works as designed.
I have only two quibbles about the instructor's coding style:
-There is almost no refactoring, so methods can go on and on; and
-The instructor makes extensive use of public variables, even where serializing the field would do. This violates the best practices of OOP.

Easy to follow, nice and simple! thanks!

I like it easy

By Joonas Tontti on 12/13/2020

I am new to game development and this course has helped me a lot. I've learned some of the basics and I can't wait to learn more. I will definitely buy another course when I am done with this one.

By Jesse Owens on 11/24/2020

I've seen many tutorials on Game Development. Enough to know a bit of the basics. Unfortunately, most tutorials often tell you what to do, but not how everything works. I had to figure most things out when it came to learning code.
Your course not only covered things that I've had to figure out, but it also helped me to learn and understand what that code was doing. I'd recommend this course to anyone who is confused or even starting out with coding and game development.

Good For Beginner in Unity

By Paul Hallenbeck on 11/12/2020

Saw a video from the course on YouTube and the teaching style was far more clear and concise than in other videos so I purchased the course. Very happy so far.

By Robbie Oliver on 11/12/2020

Disappointed with the course - completed to 60% twice but decided not to continue.
Long and roundabout explanations on certain more simple concepts and short unfulfilled explanations on others.

By Thomas Webbers on 11/4/2020

This is THE course if you want to get started in 2D game development, it almost feels like cheating with how much you learn. Very clear explanation and the rapid prototyping makes you hungry for more.

By Armando Alfonso on 11/3/2020

You really have this teaching down, i've learned so much thanks to you

By Sophia on 11/2/2020

1080p or higher please. So that I can play it in full screen without it being blurry. Text in the UI is small and can be really hard to read.
