The Psychology of Games - Secrets of Good Game Design (Udemy.com)

The contents of this course are quite basic, which it itself is not a bad thing. Very solid information is spread like easter eggs throughout the course. The problem I have with this course is it's a passive experience. You could just watch videos on any other site to achieve the same experience for the most part. This would have been better as part of a project course where you can actually apply the curriculum as you go.

This course was absolutely perfect. Even though it's only two hours long, it felt like a complete journey: intense, rich, and incredibly informative from start to finish. I was glued to the screen the whole time! I took so many notes because nearly every sentence was packed with valuable insights. A special mention to the speaker: truly excellent delivery. Every word felt intentional, and their voice was an absolute pleasure to listen to: clear, engaging, and never dull or tiring. The way the content was presented made complex ideas easy to follow and exciting to learn. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to understand more about video games, whether you're just curious or seriously planning to create your own. A big thank you to the instructor for this fantastic experience!

I bought many courses in Udemy about designing games that turned out to be shallow. I was skeptical about this one also, but It surprised me by the quality and depth of the content. Now that I finished it, I will watch the videos again because I probably missed very good tips. Keep bringing high-quality content as you did here!

It is well organized and fun to watch! Very informative.
I was hoping for more background knowledge to be given, but all in all it's a nice summarized course.

Great course. Starts with psychological concepts such as Maslow's pyramid of needs, and then applies these clearly to many aspects of gameplay. Thanks!

The course is well-made and engaging, however the majority of people walking into it won't learn anything new.

This course gave me a very good understanding of how to start building ideas for a game. In this course you can play attention to details that can help you within the game play. I hope there will be another course with deep dive into the gaming industry and the elements necessary to create a good game design.

Good but the presentation and examples need to be more in line with the topics. Presenter knows her stuff though so that was the best part and the resources is nicely presented.

It was a waste of my time with no proper assessment and new knowledge. The videos are very boring and don't add new info that is not in the resource PDFs already. I am utterly sad that I cannot get a refund because I am over the 30 day period.

It is a very good beginner course for anyone expecting to become a game designer. If you are choosing your first stepping stones for the future career in game design, be sure to make this course one of them. Presentation is good, audio is good, all explanations are pretty clear. However, I wouldn't recommend this course to those already in profession since it's mostly the basics of behaviorism, base mechanics, etc. Thank you for the course, Fabienne!

It was good. Raised some very good insights. Will refer back to the key concepts more in other resources.

good and understandable
