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.

tak

By Joseph Parker on 10/21/2020

I am over %50 finished with this course and it is incredibly well-rounded and easy to follow. This is a huge recommendation from me as a person who has watched multiple parts of the course multiple times. I will mention that sometimes (and I mean very rarely) there are ideas that get thrown into a 20 min video that are hard to hunt down, like selecting adjacent wall groups, so! Like any class: Take notes! Do not let yourself become discouraged! If you want to design games, start here.

Thanks for the course. Only issue really was not having those engine folders. Newer version of UE4 maybe. Had to be a bit creative but I got the idea. Overall great.

Good knowledge, explains without going overboard.

By Pieter Prinsloo on 9/13/2020

Having lots if fun designing levels. This course delivers exactly what it promises. I like the fact that it deals with game design only and does not confuse the student with unnecessary information.

By Sean Muilenburg on 9/6/2020

So far its just like any old youtube tutorial. But your very thourough in your explanations. hoping you have some videos on AI, Model creation, etc.

By Barx Zedicus on 8/13/2020

The instructors lessons are clear, concise, and well thought out. He is enthusiastic about the materials he is covering which makes learning an enjoyable experience. Easily recommended for someone who is new to UE4.

By Joseph Dispenza on 8/11/2020

I enjoyed this course so far. I have found the instructor to be very engaging, clear and educates in a simple, common sense way. The information is very helpful and to the point with great instruction on what he is doing and more importantly why he is doing it. I feel I will now have the tools to make my games with Unreal Engine.
