This course was pretty cool. Learning about things like game engines and narratives, story, game design documents, prototyping with construct 2, animations, different game genres, how to incorporate music and sounds into a game and other things in this course was cool to learn about and the quizzes were a good test of my knowledge. Thank you for this course.

Very basic course, but the content is good. Random foul language. And hey, I don't mind when select words truly add to whatever you're delivering, but to just have someone drop an f bomb just because, maybe not a great idea in course material you charge for.

Cover alot of subject without goes deeply into anything. More an overview of the Game dev than anything else, but remains interesting as a first approach
