RPG Core Combat Creator: Learn Intermediate Unity C# Coding (Udemy.com)

This course was amazing! Rick and Sam did a fantastic job remastering this course. I had started the previous course before, but hadn't finished. Picking it back up after the remaster I was glad to see how much the course had improved.

I really really enjoyed this course and guys who did it ABSOLUTELY ROCK! You will learn delegates, interfaces, structs, coroutines in depth with multiple examples that even if you do not get it first time there will be plenty more times to expand your knowledge and to catch up. Also instructors Rick, Sam and in older content Ben are really friendly and you can relate to them as friends who try they're best to help you.Also atop of that Sam has developped for us 2 quite awesome asset packs (one for saving, one for data hazards and initialization order) and they are both very usable in any other game.I am now on my journey to find a job so once I succeed I will edit this review to let you guys know how useful this course was (I am certain it was).THANKS!

Very good course that I highly recommend that does have some areas that could be improved but to explain why I've given it 5 stars despite this:I've purchased quite a lot of C# specific and unity courses and alot of the unity courses I have requested refunds for as to be blunt I think they're awful and full of bad practices.But I'm a big fan of Gamedev.tv. I came to this course after completing their 2D course without taking part in the 3D course as I solely got this just to improve my game dev skills and C# knowledge without any intent for now at least of making an RPG and going back to 2D development.Before I go into the pros and cons I think it's worth mentioning as this is one thing I didn't like that they haven't made explicitly clear that this is part 1 of I believe 2 (which at the time of this review is yet to be created) of a complete RPG course that leads to some confusion initially.I think it's also worth mentioning the base gameplay style is a diablo/torchlight style but you can take what you learn and change it to a different style.You'll find when following the course there is ALOT involved in developing an RPG and still has plenty of content.So with that said to give the pros and consPros:-Is actually an intermediate level course which the majority of unity courses that claim to be intermediate or advanced aren't-Teaches good programming practices in general.-Teaches advanced C# topics.-Likable engaging instructors-Very responsive and helpful support in the Q&A I even had them look at a copy of my project at one point due to an error I couldn't fix.-Google doc containing stat sheet that makes it easier to design your hero/s and game progression.-Teaches a lot of useful more advanced features of the unity engine with cutscenes, animation, nested prefabing and more.-Contains a save system and teaches you how to write one yourself(which I have yet to follow as it's advanced and I'm currently between beginner to intermediate)Cons:- I felt there was too much enthesis on level/game design early on to be able to implement without knowing what the later development of the game will turn out like.But this is minor as the dame design overall is good.-Some of the more advanced C# challenges aren't explained in enough detail in my opinion.-It isn't explicitly clear that this course is part 1 to a course that will follow.-Lacking skill and inventory system so some hacks are used to make using weapons workable (but they plan to cover this in the follow up course).-Lacking variety in the types of enemies that are created.To sum up I highly recommend this course I'd look at this as a part 1 of 2 rather than a complete course and see it as a way as a big resource to improve your overall programming and game dev skills including unity features.I didn't follow the original course as it had already been remade and improved upon by the time I had purchased it and hope to see more of both Rick and Sam in future courses.

Highly recommended!The Good:-Level Design-Game Design Document-Loved the Saving System-Loved the Lookup Table-Delegates and Actions-Unique Identifiers-How Enums were handled-The use of Interfaces-Progression System-NamespacesThe Bad:-Confusing when instructor tries to explaining some code. (Use of analogies/diagrams/etc. could help).-Badly thought mini-challenges, if you have to move/pass/create too much code around, especially if you have to jump from script to script.-Challenges are also badly explained, it's never clear what the instructor wants.-Lazy Initialization had a big roll in the final section and it wasn't really explained how it fully works.Both Rick and Sam are great instructors and I hope to see them in future courses! I had fun and learned a lot.Thanks!

this course is super amazing, I really learnt a lot about coding , game design , architeture , etc ... with the course (older content) and i'm going to polish my demo and make the most out of what i've learnt while waiting for the newer content to finish so i can keep studying from this amazing course. I'm still a beginner in coding, game design but still this course is just amazing for me

I really wanted to give this course 5 stars but I have to give it a review based on my own needs.I'm an experienced Unity programmer, I've been using Unity for years but something I've really wanted to do and not been able to is make an RPG. So after much indecision I decided to risk it and buy this course after being so unsatisfied with other RPG tutorials in the past.I'll start by saying that Rick and Sam are fantastic. Rick gives a great design angle and Sam is one of the few programmers who actually uses correct game architecture in a tutorial unlike most beginners on Youtube.However the reason I've given this course 3 stars instead of 5 is it doesn't meet my expectations on RPG. The stat system is okay at best, it's not very flexible and it doesn't give me the ability to do things like multiple damage types (think fire/ice/earth damage), nor does it give you a good system to do multiple stat modifiers (for example a weapon that increases your strength but reduces your speed).I think this is an amazing course and when Part 2 comes out I may re-visit this review if the stats/damage system is expanded.

The content that these guys produce is excellent. The lessons are well thought-out, and well executed. I especially enjoy when they make "mistakes", and we can learn by watching them go through the process of fixing things. It helps seeing this troubleshooting process, and I've learned a lot. I can say that this course is a natural next step from the 3D course they also offer. Great stuff, and especially looking forward to the next course they're building!

The course is amazing, Because they know what they are teaching, they sometimes joking around!!Really recommend to buy this course!

This course is very informational it walks you through writing clean and readable code i would tell anyone who wants to learn more advanced topics about unity and c# to try this course

After completing the 2D course and having a basic understanding of Unity I feel this course was a perfect next step for me in furthering my programming knowledge.

Really great course. The older version was a bit disorganized, but this revised content is a lot better. The course can obviously be a confusing and overwhelming at times, but there's a lot of amazing information that's helped me a lot. I'm still working through it, but I know it will be invaluable to me as I get better with Unity and C#. Can't wait for part 2.

Another great C# course from the gamedev team. The deeper dive into co-routines is phenomenal and the cinemachine stuff is really tremendous as well. I loved learning about namespaces and going more into Navmesh. The stuff about interfaces is also extremely powerful and well-taught. I do think the saving part needs work, the beginning parts are interesting because they show you how files are written, but you rewrite and undo so much that it becomes very hard to follow the core idea and it felt like you were just copying stuff. The course does acknowledge it's complex and gives you a premade saving system, but I found that in the case of both the premade and DIY saving systems, it broke at a certain point even if you follow exactly, so i just ended up skipping that part. I found the experience points section, while well taught, kind of dragged on without teaching a whole lot new and was kind of just copying stuff as well, so I ended up jumping past that and just picking and choosing from there on out, but these issues are fairly minor in contrast with the abundance of great knowledge I gained from the course.These are just nitpicks though, if you finished the C# 3D course, this is a no-brainer for continuation. As always Ben, Rick and now Sam are great teachers who really ease you into stuff with a great style. I've since begun working on my won project with what I've learned from these two courses and could not have had a smoother start thanks to the Gamedev.TV team.
