Instructor Details

Hey Guys!
My name is Greg Wondra, I am a 12 year video game design veteran and 3 year game design instructor. I have worked for companies such as 2K Sports, KingsIsle Entertainment, and Nickelodeon. I'm proud to have had the honor of working on the games listed below:
- Wizard 101 (PC)
- Lost Planet 3 (360, PS3, PC)
- MonkeyQuest (PC)
- Sports Champions (PS3)
- Major League Baseball 2K5, 2K6, 2K7, 2K8 (various consoles)
- SpongeBob Moves In (Mobile)
- Grub Guardian (Mobile)
Working in the gaming industry has been a dream come true and has provided me with rare lifetime opportunities. Over the course of my career I've been fortunate enough to have directed the likes of LeBron James and Derek Jeter in motion capture sessions. Additionally, one of the projects I was involved with (Sports Champions) was selected to be the game bundled in with Sony's Playstation Move hardware when it was initially released.

Since 2016 I've worked as the Video Game Design instructor at the Regional Occupational Center in Bakersfield, CA where I teach high school seniors a full year course on game design using Unreal Engine 4.

Mr. Wondra was an excellent instructor. I've taken many courses on Udemy and other platforms and his attention to detail -- showing every step and giving explanations was really great. He is a very good teacher.

By Mark McDonald on 11/14/2020

So far so good. like pace that instruction is given

By Kym Briggs on 10/25/2020

I like the content, very well detailed with good subject coverage.
I found issues with the audio, generally too quiet, no big deal though.

By Jasfiq Rahman on 10/16/2020

As a designer the instructor obviously knows a lot, and there is certainly a lot I learnt from this. The problem for me was his script/code architecture, which can be better by a huge margin.

By Onur Dou on 10/8/2020

Good course

By Tom Richardson on 9/8/2020

Excellent pace and I love how easy it is for beginners.

By PiroPito . on 8/21/2020

This is great course.
I learned a lot of things.
Especially, [Saving & Loading] and [Top Scores] section
was so useful(worthful) for me.

By Piyush Ramnani on 8/18/2020

Mentor is really good. He explains the whole process in such micro details and repeats himself so many times that your brain starts to memorize it automatically. Course highly recommend for beginners.
The Blueprint section is really complicated because there are a lot of functionalities added to this game which is good in a way. Looking forward to make & learn some more awesome classic games like Snake 3D.

By Daniel S on 8/15/2020

Simply the best. Although this is not my first Udemy Unreal Engine course, it is by far my favourite yet. Mr Wondra goes above and beyond. He goes at a great pace - not too slow, not too fast. Anytime that things do get fast, he takes the time to explain the concept after the Blueprint code is built out and also follows best practice by commenting out. His experience in the game design field is easily noticeable compared to other tutorials, as he is precise when placing things in the game world, and very organized throughout.
He touches on things that other courses completely neglected, like the measurement tool, orthographic views, and more.
He also responds quickly to questions, and has continued to update his course for any engine updates that might cause problems. I am super excited to take your other courses! Thank you!

Great tutorial on start to learn base of UE Blueprints and make one of first game

By Jose Guzman on 7/16/2020

I absolutely LOVED this course! I am completely new to Unreal Engine, and this course was an excellent introduction to it. I HIGHLY recommend it!

By A. Lucas on 7/16/2020

I wanted a complete n00b course to walk me through the bewildering array of options in UE to make a simple arcade game so this is a good match.
Greg's teaching delivery is great and the course is well suited to anyone looking to get started UE4 with a familiar end game (with some polished bits) as the result.
Would definitely recommend and I can't wait to start looking to put together some of the projects I've shelved on other SDKs. Overall - Great course and I would certainly consider buying more courses from this tutor. Cheers Greg!
