Always love how Paul simplifies and breaks down complex concepts. I love and definitely recommend this course. I swear it's like Liam Neeson meets Bob Ross. I'm a filmmaker gone game dev as well so this is great for interactive films and FMV's.

By Rafael Roldan on 11/16/2020

It is a very good course, it teaches the basics of Fungus and is very well done, with everything explained. I feel they could update it a bit more and also release other courses teaching more on how to do incredible things with Fungus in Unity, but it is a recommended course.

By Nicolas on 11/3/2020

Very easy kickstart for newbies in Unity eager to make simple game! BUT wish it cover more about "Save System" of Fungus and Ui customization.

By Bo Savino on 8/20/2020

So far, so good! Easy for a noob like me to understand.

By Andrew Seyderhelm on 8/19/2020

Great course with one little glitch mid-way. But if you want to learn Fungus and see what it can do then this is an amazing course that builds on the free tutorials nicely.

By PJHJ Teunissen on 8/17/2020

I like his telling voice style and explainded very simple for me.Great course to follow as a beginner. i follow many program courses about unity and i think Fungus is a great way to start and learn about unity.

By Eva Buchala on 8/9/2020

Detailed, clear instructions and walkthroughs so far that are providing a very focused view of how to utilize Fungus efficiently.

By Daniel San Pedro on 7/14/2020

I like it! it is pretty fun and easy to do and is really helping me a lot with game developing!

By Avid Lebon on 6/18/2020

I started in 2019 and had to go back to 2018 because the 2D camera moves (specifically zoom/scale) isn't working. Probably a Unity update issue. Other than that, the course is easy to follow (so far) and this program looks like it has a lot of time saving features that would be a pain to hand code. Hoping this is the case as I learn more about it and don't find any more bugs created by Unity updates. The good news is that Fungus has a forum, which once I know my way around and know it isn't a PEBKAC error I'll utilize.
