не всегда объясняется происхождение элементов, а именно некоторые моменты берутся "из воздуха". Не объясняется базовая часть: как применять блюпринты к определенным объектам? как создавать массивы объектов? как объединять объекты в группы? Нет стартового пакета материалов: было бы весьма недурно иметь проект, в котором работает лектор.

Yes this course is really good. I'm just learning for fun and personal development. But I'm finding the structure of your course a much better learning tool than helping myself to You tube.

By Ganesh Tiwari on 11/21/2024
This course is totally worth it, as a beginner I didnt have any problem learning to build a game. There are so many high level insights that you never get on YouTube or any beginner lever course. Cant recommend this enough.
