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

I have purchased almost all of James content on Udemy, A++ experience.

it is my first course on Udemy. Did i learn something? YES i did. especially because the instructor did 3 project identical to eachother you started understanding what he was gonna do next at some point. That helped alot. Great course to get familiar with coding. Instructor explains what the pitfalls of some moments are. tries to explain things so you can understand.
if you ask me if it was an effective way to learn i doubt it.
if someone says make the same game again i couldnt I realised it when he did the first challenge. because even while watching the videos things went wrong, even when there was nothing wrong with the code. Things can go wrong by the simplest mistakes. and solving them is harder then it should be, but once it solved it (on your own) it gives satisfaction.
the videos are longer than they should, the instructor makes simple mistakes. nothing wrong with that, thats just an indicator for me that coding is that hectic, but for an online course it should have been cut out.
so great course for getting familiar with the basics! but as feedback the instructor should cut unnecessary scenes out
*note: every time he is gonna create a C# script he says: "So lets create a new C# script" XD
