Learn to make an Awesome Builder-Defender game in Unity! (Udemy.com)

Thanks for the excellent course, Sensei! CodeMonkey is an experienced game dev and teacher, having produced dozens of games and hundreds of hours of educational content. What makes him a great teacher is how passionate about what he does and how dedicated he is to helping his students find the same success he has in game dev. If you're looking to start your game dev journey, I recommend this as a good place to start. It can be difficult, especially if you don't have any programming background, but don't give up! Examine the logic behind what's being done, endeavor to solve any errors or issues on your own when possible (seriously, this helps you learn!), and when you feel ready for it, start trying to deviate from the course material in small ways. Try modifying features that the course implements, or adding new features of your own - once you feel comfortable enough to start doing that, that's when you really start to learn a lot quickly! If you're ever having trouble, take advantage of the Q&A section - you'll be likely to get a helpful response from CodeMonkey within a day. Despite having released a number of different courses now, CodeMonkey still takes the time to assist students needing help with every single one. If you want a teacher that's just as passionate about teaching as he is about game dev, I can recommend no better teacher than CodeMonkey!

Best unity course I have ever taken. There's a little caveat though. It may seem like a course for a total beginner. (I've been playing around with Unity for a couple of years.) But I don't think so. It is face paced and full of content to digest and process. Actually, the course took me way more time that the lecture hours. I needed to go back and forth and do extra research or just get away from the keyboard and take some time to think about the logic. If you can get just a little patient and stay focused, there's tons of information and know-how that you can learn!! The codes looked a little too complex than it should be, but as the course continued I came to understand why he designed things the way he did. Also, Code Monkey is very responsive! He answered my question within a day most of the case, if not all the time. Overall, I am very satisfied with the course and excited to take more of his courses.

I cannot say enough how happy I am that I took this course! Unity Code Monkey has an easy and effective style of communication. Every video in this course is produced to a very high standard of quality. He concisely conveys the key information and provides context to help learners understand why certain choices are made over others. The content is comprehensive and organized to facilitate the learning curve of a novice game developer/programmer. The lessons learned are useful well beyond the genre of game that is presented. I also found the extras useful, as well as the treasury of information available for free on Unity Code Monkey's site. Three cheers!

It's a great course and very dense with info and good coding practices. It has several intermediate and some advanced codes, unity features, and mechanics that is rarely seen in other tutorials. Absolutely worth it! My only critique is that the pacing of the course picks up REALLY fast, by the time you reach Lecture 15 or so (and especially Lectures 25+), the skips and video speed ups occur more often making it a bit frustrating to follow. The explanations are more brief, so you will need to do some research on your own. Overall, I've purchased all of the Instructors course and have not been disappointed. Hopefully he continues to make more, but take out those skips and fast forwards (as many other here has mentioned).

In short, I say this is an awesome course. There are a lot of mechanics and functionalities explained and there are lot to learn. This course can be considered as intermediary level rather than beginner level. The course covers basic C# and Unity features, though if you already done a unity beginners course, then it would be easy to follow and reduce the course completion time. I did a unity beginners course and it took me nearly 3 months to complete the course. It took me 3 months, becaouse I worked a lot to fix the bugs that occured during development and tried to complete without any errors. If I didnot have beginner knowledge, it would have taken more time. As said earlier, you can take it directly even if you are a beginner, but make sure you work on all the topics covered and spend some time on research and debugging too. There are some videos in which, nearly as much as 10 features are taught. Most of the videos cover more than one mechanics or functionality in a single video. So I would say this course is fast. If you are a beginner, make sure you watch the video once and plan it according to your pace and then practice it so that you would not be overwhelmed. For some videos, I was overwhelmened with the information I was getting and I splitted those videos into multiple sessions so I can process it. Again, it is me. You may absorb things better. Again, it is a wonderful, impressive and one of the best Unity courses. I learned a lot from it.

This was better than I expected. I already knew CodeMonkey. I was stuck on some UI for my first hobby game, there were many ways to do it and I could not settle on a single approach. This went on for days, and I saw this course from his youtube, and I thought it will be a good refreshment and recreation to see his ways, and it sure was! I thought maybe I will see a few tricks, but there were much more than a few. Right on the beginning I was surprised by something that I didn't know about, I don't remember what was it exactly. The only I remember from the beginning is that finally I see how scriptable objects can be useful. One thing that could have been shown is the profiler. Especially in case of the enemy wave UI, because that was where most of the processing of the Update() functions go. There could have been shown an easy solution there, such as keeping track of all enemies so that the GetComponent() does not have to be used in the loop, significantly reducing the processing time of that Update(). There were many other smaller points where with just a little change some performance could have been saved, but I understand that somewhere he had to draw the line for the complexity of the course. It was also nice to see how he approaches UI. All in all this is a nice complete course with many tricks about unity, and core game development tips. Thank you!

First I'd like to thank Code Monkey for this course. I've learned a lot, and it met my expectations of what I can learn here. The instructor is very knowledgeable with the subject as well. I'd probably just comment on speeding up parts of the videos making them hard to follow even when lowering the play speed of the video. Some students would definitely like to see, myself included, what's being inputted in the inspector clearly before playing with the values personally. This also goes with the scripts as sometimes can potentially miss out on some code before being able to pause. Lastly, hoping the instructor can speak more clearly as sometimes the words are slurred. All in all, it was a great experience. Acquired good knowledge. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

Best Unity and C# course so far. I have watched a lot of Unity tutorials but this course I would definitely recommend to everyone. The codes are very clean and easy to follow by. The pace of the tutorial is very appropriate and not overwhelmed or repeated the same thing to lengthen the course. As the video continues you will learn more complex features by using basic concepts. I found that after finished a course and go back to the codes, most of them I spend quite some time remembering what the logic was. In this course, everything is well organized. After completing this course you should have enough knowledge to create tons of other games.

I had been waiting for a course like this for a long time. I follow the instructor's YouTube channel, but I missed something with purpose from start to finish and the course was launched. I really like the 2D Top-Down style with resource management. The game developed is simple and fun but, what I liked most and what I really expected I found in this course: the best ways to write the code, why to program the way it is proposed, how to avoid performance problems, the system of events. I really learned how to use Scriptable Objects in practice and how it helps in the design of the game's features. This course really helped me a lot. Thanks!

Best game making tutorial I've ever come across. I really needed a good course like this to take me from the beginning to the end of a project. I'm half way through it right now but I am certain this will get me past the personal roadblock I had when I tried making a game from start to finish. Also I am very happy to have finally learned features that I never came across before, like Scriptable Objects and Physics2D Overlap calls, and to have learned how to keep scripts from getting tangled together by using the Singleton method. EDIT: I just finished the course, and I am VERY glad that it came out when it did. I was struggling to properly and efficiently interconnect GameObjects and manage object collections before this video, but now I am very excited to get back to developing my game without having to struggle so much at every turn.
