RPG Inventory Systems: Intermediate C# Game Coding Course (Udemy.com)

Overall the course is pretty good, just like the others from GameDev.TV. But the teaching method in this one is a bit confusing. Also i feel this course could have been included in the Core RPG course instead of making it seperate, judging by the amount of content that was actually usefull.

I liked Core much better. I am seeing new things but am learning very little. I enjoyed working and learning on my own project alongside you. That kept me motivated and out of the Doldrums and Ho-Hum straights. I learned the most when things broke on my end but I knew exactly what the end goal was (I could see it) and knew how you got there. Now I don't do any work just watch and wait for the next time we import a new asset pack. Doing the challenges seems rather pointless as they don't further the end project.
This course gets waaaaaayyyyyyyy better once you hit the integration section and you get into the old Core Combat stuff!!! Pay attention at the beginning, though, you ARE going to use what Sam showed you at the beginning when you're integrating the new stuff onto your own content.

I really enjoyed doing this course with Sam and Rick.

Although the overview of the inventory asset was well explained, it could have more features like consumable itens, craft items, etc.

I was actually worried that the course would cover very simple details; turns out it was quite advanced and I did find what I was looking for.

This course was not at all what I've come to expect from the GameDev.TV guys. Most of the course (except the integration section) felt like an in-depth walk-through of an asset pack than a class. The programming concepts were not complex and I would not consider this to be an intermediate course. During what code challenges there that were, little time was spent in the pauseing between challenge and explanation. Also, in many cases in the integration section, code would just appear and then would get a brief explanation before moving on, leaving it easy to miss a quick line that wasn't typed in by the instructor. Several times I watched a video more than once to find a line add that I missed before he moved on to another part of the code.

I was so excited when that course came out, bought it immediately and started - and after the first 3 to 4 videos got more and more frustated because of the new learning style which is more like a podcast, as many other recensors before me already descibed. In Section 2 I was so frustated that I thought, ok the course can't be so bad but I need a pause of it.
After ~3 months I gave it a new shot and thought about a strategy how to solve the course without getting too frustated. So it did the following: I created two Unity sessions. One which was coupled to the github of the course, and where I always can have a look on the original code. Then another Unity session with my own project, where I build everything from scratch.
I started watching the videos and always tried to implement as much as possible on myself. When it got too complicated, I looked in the repositiory changes or on the code of the original course content and sometimes transscribed the code - but never copy / pasted! Additionally I tried to challenge myself when the course challenges were not so ambitious or tried to implement own ideas (e.g. limitation of the stacks).
And I can say - with that strategy I had a lot of fun again with that course, no frustration anymore and I learned a lot again.
Additionally I asserted that, progressing through the course, the podcast-style disappears more and more until in setion 11 (integration) it is again the good old learning style :).
At least you get a course, where you learn a lot about what it means, to have a really good and clear coding structure, and you learn quite more if you try to implement more functionality based on that structure. So I can recommend the course, it is really worth it.
At last my desire for a future course: A course about code architecture. The architecture of the whole RPG is really good and I think I understood everything but it is still very difficult for me to architecture a new game from scratch on my own. What are the steps to create a good coding structure?

This course is way worst than Core Combat. I think you guys did great work with the inventory system, but I was waiting to learn how to make and not use something you developed. Im giving three stars because you guys are amazing, but Im disappointed with this course.
Im looking forward to an update.

It was a good course, full of valuable information that can give you a powerful tool to improve your RPG. But I must say that I really miss the old format, I found myself in trouble trying to fully understand how the inventory scripts works, I think that writing the code step by step makes it a lot easier.

I agree that one skill you must have as a serious programmer is being able to read & dig through others code. But this is something you have to learn on your own overtime, you don't need a course for that.
Since this course here is meant to teach people in the first place i am on the same boat as many others here, please get back to the classic teaching way like you were doing in the combat course.
Learning by doing is always better over just watching someone else doing/explaining stuff, imo anyway.
I fell asleep somewhere in mid of the course cause all i had to do was just watching and listening, i had to do almost nothing during the entire course (excluding Section 11 Integration).
And guess what, the lectures kept playing and playing while i was sleeping :p
But still, even thought the code was being throwed at us almost all at once the instructors still did a very good job in explaining "almost" everything (i have seen by far worse courses when it comes to such a teaching structure).
Now, for me this was np at all since i am a programmer since 2 decades or so. But for someone who is fairly new into programming it might be quite hard to get into/through this course with the podcast technique that was being used here.
Anyways, get back to the classic teaching technique rather sooner than later!

Everything is clear so far , i followed the steps and my project did the same as shown in the video.

Like the idea of visual learning as opposed to the typical lecture and figure it out hopefully it works out.
