The knowledge of the instructor is amazing, and he's definitely not working off a script - he's building this game on the fly! The only issue I've had with it is the speed at which the instructor moves. He quickly clicks through options without necessarily explaining the why behind his selections. I've been doing a lot of pause and rewind during this series, but it's been a fantastic learning experience.

The tutorial is cool. The things taught are cool. - 1 for Danny's rushed pacing. The instructor needs to *slow down* in their delivery. I don't understand what the hurry is? It comes across as though they're less interested in trying to instruct people and more like they're rushing to just "get it done", so they can call it 'finished' and throw it online. I'm not the only person to point this out, and this isn't the only course I've seen this pointed out. Danny doesn't seem to care about the feedback he gets from his students, which is a huge Negative. -1 Related to the first point, in addition to rushing through the dialogue, he performs multiple steps without ever explaining where he's clicking or what he's doing. You have to follow his every mouse movement, or you'll get lost trying to keep up. And then you have to keep rewinding (repeatedly) because you missed what he said in his hurry to get it out. I only give it 3 stars because what I *could* get through before I finally got sick of rewinding every 10 seconds to keep up with what he's doing/saying seemed pretty solid. As a closing thought, Danny James, if you're reading this : SLOW THE HECK DOWN!! This is an instructional course, not a competitive sprint.

I am a well developed video game designer, artist and programmer. I enjoyed Danny's class rather much - I always love to learn new ways to do the same thing. You can never stop learning! This class and instructor can go by rather fast for a newer designer/programmer at times. I recommend if you find yourself falling behind in a video; pause it - revisit what is said and you'll get it right. In the end, you do create the basis for a shooter game and even a few extras for it. The course does not fail in that - if you're looking for a precise instructor, engaging class and a better grasp of some of the features of the Fusion engine: this class is for you.
