    Definitely some good evergreen advice there, but overall outdated course and approaches... the job market is very different right now, and it would be nice to revamp this course and include more tool such as AI and review some sections as well...

    This course offers advice, succesful methods but it is also very inspiring, this should be material for any university that offers game development programs.

    Some good advice here! While I think that most of the course content is evergreen, I am concerned that some things might be out of date (hot opportunities), and due to its age, I don't know if this course still has teaching assistants supporting it.
