Learn how to create your own tools for game development.
Learn how to create custom components
Very few courses teach these concepts, but they should be mandatory.

The course is very good, but i did not give it five stars because they do not respond to questions which is very disappointing. One needs support and feedback to become developer with online courses and they do not provide support.
By Jchampion on 9/26/2022
A very useful course for introduction to Unity, it is mostly a guide to code rather than explicitly a teaching course. When it comes to UI you will need to look at some more recent implementations as at the time of writing this the course is slightly outdated. In addition the zoom custom component Math.Larp is not covered well, requiring more research.

Above expectations because bunch of other people dont do as good on this topic. Goran Congratz, you've always done clear and excellent job. You arent lazy. I always take few courses on same topic so i can compare content and quality of explaining, really, thank you.

Very good teaching technics. They help our problems as soon as. Course is so good for beginners for understanding c# coding.
By Joseph Dispenza on 4/24/2019
This course was very comprehensive and clear to understand. I enjoyed it and learned a lot. Learning by building the game helped really see how it all works together.

This is one of the best Unity and C# courses I've done on Udemy, and I've done a lot. I initially didn't bother with the C# lectures since I've been programming with C# since 2003, but I decided to go back over the list of lectures after finishing the Game Development sections to see if there were areas of C# I wasn't 100% sure about, since it's continually changing. I found the C# lectures I watched were all excellent. Goran is very good at explaining the more complicated C# topics, and I learnt a lot from them and came away feeling like I'd learnt a lot from them.

the language of the instructor is sometimes difficult to understand and he doesn't explain what is what he is doing for sometimes but the overall experience is very good and it's easy to understand and to follow.

When we started to create the script, I had a bit of trouble setting up the namespace section. The yellow bar on the left side was not appearing for me until I deleted an extra line after "public class Demo : MonoBehavior" created by visual studio 2017.
By Mathieu Gagne on 5/7/2018
UPDATE: If you are a beginner and don't try to start straight from the game development section (like I did), you will not have to get confused and/or discouraged because this instructor is best I have seen so far on Udemy.
By Yehoshua Kadosh on 1/10/2018
Great clearly defined content, as usual! However, some words were hard to understand and the subtitles clearly didn't show the proper words either.
