I’m only a couple of videos into the course but I think this professor makes the content easily digestible for the average mind…. He takes you on a step by step journey of what everything is from which ties of games are which analog….etc…you’ll learn that once you watch…and here’s the beautiful part…. It’s a free program. If you want to learn here’s your chance to say what the heck and really try for yourself…I mean you deserve it. Create the video games you’ve always dreamed about and change the world.

This was good learning to pin point details of back office knowledge to make a successful game. I didn't know I was suppose to follow the pdf while watching the videos. I did in fact takes notes from the pdf for future reference. Thank Instructor for making this course free.

Not as informative as I would have hoped. Silly gimmicks and jokes were distracting more than entertaining.
