update it and you cant download the zip file. Change it
This is a great course! Most other courses for Construct don't show how to create and use your own functions.
Instructor speaks clearly and the content of this course is really focusing on the subject.
curso muitooo bom...
I enjoyed the course, I've learned so much from it.
I learned new stuff for sure but I wish the course was updated. I needed a bit slow explanation of player shooting which would have made the course a top one. Still now I am difficulties in understanding that part, other than that nice one, author skips explanations for few actions he does. His organising patterns were really good.
Cons are the author is not answering Q&A and the course is outdated, if you feel that's not a problem go for it, you will learn for sure.
I really enjoyed this course. Jeremy is an excellent instructor. I would recommend all of his courses for anyone wanting to learn Construct 2. They are directly related to that game engine. He provides explanation for developing a game and the concepts behind the programming going into the game mechanics.
I'm more interested in the game design and creation end of things and not much of a programmer. I'm working on it though, and starting with Construct 2 and Jeremy's courses I have my first game nearly complete. He leaves more things open like health and ammo pick-ups. I'd love for him to go more into an inventory system for his courses. Much of what you learn leaves you primed to add-on with your concepts and continue your game design. For instance I created a shield using the enemy AI concept from this video for when it hits walls. I add simple subtract to the enemy health variable and now I have a force-field that damages enemies and protects the player from projectiles and enemy collision.
This understanding all came from this awesome course.
this course was so much help full i'm a new using with construct 2 and this is just a god send it really help me a lot with a lot of stuff i wasn't understanding before ,i'm making a space shooter game an need differ enemy ai and this course give me a lot of idea , and i'm going to make a top down shooter game all because of this course
Before taking this course I've seen some of Jeremy's tutorials on YouTube so I felt comfortable going into this course and I knew I was going to come out of it with a wealth of knowledge. I'm just learning Construct and Jeremy explains things in a way that's easy to understand for beginners. After taking this course I feel more than confident that I can start building my own game in Construct. If you're having doubts about taking this course, I highly recommend taking it. You'll learn a lot and with Jeremy as the instructor you're in good hands.

I enjoyed the course. The lessons where the perfect length, well thought out and very well spoken. There are a couple of areas that went a little too quick and I had to replay a couple of them. Also, for a non programmer, I think a little bit more time could have been spent explaining the higher functions that were used and why, for example, LERP, Function.Param and the entire Enemy Spawn Manager. I do not have any issues with the follow along method of learning but it really does no good without the reason for doing it.
Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial and I hope you take the time to make more!
