Unity Game Development Build 2D & 3D Games (Udemy.com)

I really enjoyed this course as I learned so much valuable information learning about making games in Unity. I thought the instructors, in particular Mark did a great job in explaining the different areas in the game they were working on to show best practices, plus have us focus on learning and practicing these areas so we can really make a solid game. The 2D part of the course was the only place where I struggled a little bit following the instructions to build this game out. Using real game assets while learning to build each game made it easier and satisfying to stay engaged in making each game. Overall, this was an outstanding course to learn how to make video games leaving me totally satisfied in trying out this course.

Ceci est mon 4ième cours sur Unity 5, et j'ai encore appris des choses. Le niveau technique des enseignants est supérieur à mes précédents cours. Cependant, l'enseignant des sections 4 et 6 manquait de rythme et passait de longues minutes à débugger en direct, plutôt pénible surtout quant on a soit même résolu ou anticipé le problème. J'ai apprécié l'utilisation d'assets professionnelles tout le long du cours, même pour voir les bases d'Unity. Et pour les bases de la programmation uniquement des exemples jeux vidéos. Au final une bon cours, mais qui demandera beaucoup de travail personnel aux pures débutants en programmation.

The instruction was informative and clear. I appreciated the methodical, step-by-step approach. I would have liked more material, especially for the final project (The MOBA). It's the bare-bones needed to get some multi-player going, but the end result is really pretty sad. Would have been nice to end with something bug-free and playable. Nothing too fancy, but showing us how to clean it up and add a little polish would have been a nice touch (for example, a second character type to choose from). Overall though, I enjoyed the course and feel like I learned a lot, and I really enjoyed the assets we got to work with (thanks, Bitgem!)

This course has provided me the knowledge necessary for making my own games. This course is good for beginners who want to become professional game developers. It has also taught some advanced topics like Multiplayer game development, Lightening and Cinematic in an easy and succinct way. Some other courses are charging higher just for teaching multiplayer game development. However, I wish if it could also teach a little bit about making game assets, so that the indie game developers who are facing financial crisis, can make a zero dollar game but I also agree that game development is not about making game arts.

This course is very well thought through and gives a brilliant overview of Unity in a practical way. The only downside is that the instructors could have prepared what they were teaching in the videos a little better before recording, but don't let that dissuade you from doing this course. This course comes with fantastic assets and the instructors come across as friendly and professional. Overall I am very pleased I spent the time with this course and would recommend it to anybody who would like an understanding of Unity.

Very nice informative course for the most part. Has quite a few tips on using unity to help speed up development work flow. Code is generally quite good clean and modular. They use multiple coding solutions throughout the course. They are not always the most optimized but it does show students there are many ways to attack a problem depending on your specific situation. Although sometimes they seem to choose a solution for the sake of using it instead of using the most efficient solution available. They do leave some bugs behind but none I've seen up to the Legend of Devslops lesson prevent the game from functioning. Just a few runtime errors. Leaves some opportunities to test what you've learned in trying to fix them. They will go into how to use unity's built in animation system in fairly good detail as well as a nice lesson on lighting. I had to pull 2 stars because in some cases the instructors seemed a little ill prepared or rushed. It should be noted that I'm only referring to one instructor. During some lessons game breaking errors were made and might not be addressed until quite a bit later in the lecture or even the next lecture. This has led to confusion among students. I personally found it harder to follow and felt as though I got less from those in the tower defense section. Also during the Mine Craft clone when working with the animating the character the instructor spends the majority of the 45 min lecture trying to figure out why he's getting unexpected behavior from his animations then simply appears to give up trying and simply skips past teaching the animation process to hooking them up. Now I've been tinkering with unity for awhile so although my experience with dope sheets is limited I could probably piece it together from the haphazard, incomplete, and flawed explanation. I could also go to Utube and find a video but the point of the lesson was to show students the proper way to animate unrigged models from a dope sheet. I was very disappointed to say the least. If I were totally new to unity and development in general I could only imagine the frustration. I would of also liked to seen more challenges built into the course. Rather like the end of the first lesson where students were asked to extend the game with general goals for guidelines providing boundaries but allowing freedom for creative development.

Good content, good pace-- instructors are positive and have personality, which makes it easy to listen to. With one exception, this tutorial delivers. The learning curve is actually from beginner and base concepts forward. If you pay attention, and use your head a bit, you will be able to keep up, and will marvel at what you learn and complete. The one exception that I referenced is the Devcraft section of the course. I have come to the conclusion that the section simply falls apart on bad edits. There are points where you can tell that the video is edited, and there are changes that have been made to the scripts that are not detailed-- if you don't catch it, you're in for a mess. You can use the asset scripts provided to make the corrections to your won script, but shouldn't have to. Because there is an incredible amount of quality content in the course, this section can be skipped altogether, which I would recommend.

I truly believe that this course is really useful and you can learn a lot about game scripting, tips, etc, instructors DO know what they are doing and are easy to follow to, the only reason I am giving 4.5 stars is that I (personally) would like the instructos to take a little of their time and spend some of it to answer some of the questions we (the students) might have. Other than that, they DO deserve to be called the best course around UDEMY.

Very well put together, with Unity I have found so many 'gotchas' it is a little ridiculous and it has even put me off from learning it in the past. With these video lessons, I have identified the reason behind many of them and this is not always covered in books or tutorials as noticeably. A small hiccup in development when trying to learn can become a major inhibitor and DevSlopes proves time and again that issues will be found and explained. Thanks for all your work and look forward to the expanding course work.

I am currently about half way through the course and think that this is an excellent resource for learning Unity and C#. The only thing I would like to see is possibly a short video at the beginning of each section that goes over a game design document for the game being made. It would be great to be able to follow along with the thought process of the instructor and give those of us just starting out a clue about what goes into creating the design document to keep us on track and organized. Thanks for all the hard work you all have put into this course.
