This course is a great way to get into game development and programming as a whole. The concepts are easy to understand and you finish with a solid project that gives you a sense of accomplishment.

Excellent introduction to Game Design and Development! I already feel that I can do so much with Unity, even when I know there is still a lot lot more to learn, but this was a fantastic start!

This course was great! I learned a lot about Unity and about making games! However, week 3 was a huge setback. It was taught by the TA who was using a different version of Unity, I also lost hours of work because of this. The TA also spoke fast and brushed over a lot of topics, making it difficult to understand.
The part of the 2D shooter project that asked for 3 modifications was extremely difficult if you have never used Unity before (this class says it is for beginners for haven't used unity before). Most of the modifications asked for us to create our own artwork/music or use assets that were not provided to us. We were not shown how to create our own assets or find assets elsewhere. We also weren't shown how to add new behaviors that weren't provided to us or add things like powerups.
People with expereince in Unity or other game engines were able to do this and make great games that had 3 or more modifications. However, those of us that are using Unity for the first time and are relying on what we are taught, were left with barely any modifications we knew how to do and our grades suffered for it. I would have loved to do several modifications and make a great game that followed the assignment but I just wasnt shown how.
Overall I did enjoy the course and learned a lot! The professor that teaches this course is great!

Good course. The main teacher has a good way of explaining and keeping you motivated. I got a good first overview of working in Unity. There are some caveats however that I have to point out.
- The lessons given by the TA (which are like a third of the course) are very confusing to follow and are of considerably less quality than the others.
- The introduction to programming in C# was very rudimentary.
- I"d have preferred the final project to be something simpler (say pong) but where you have more understanding of the mechanics you're working with. Like this it felt like re-skinning a game that is based on pre-written components made by others without knowing what you are really doing.
Still I'd overally would recommend this course.

A good course for learning the basics of navigating Unity. The final project has highly unrealistic expectations for what's offered in the course. There is very little introduction to C#, and the Unity overview hardly covers enough functionality to fulfill the "significant changes" requested in the project requirements. Doing the final project well with the only the knowledge this course offers as a basis is nearly impossible. That said, it's a good course for getting comfortable with Unity superficially.
It would be even better if there were explanations provided for why certain things are done the way they are, or if there were more guided modifications for the student to make to the provided Assets and Scripts.

The content was excellent up until the second week. However, starting from the third week, the instructor changes, and their explanations are poor. They begin operations in UnityEditor without explaining what we are doing or why it is necessary, making it difficult to understand. Perhaps because of this, it seems that peers diligently worked on the second week's assignments but completely abandoned the fourth week's assignments. I graded the assignments of three peers for the fourth week's peer review, and all three had submitted completely unrelated, invalid URLs that were not even from itch.io. It was a really unpleasant experience to have my well-invested work rated poorly by them.

Assignments are peer reviewed, and it may take days to get a grade, so if you are paying monthly, it may cost you more than you think.

I am not going to continue this course anymore. here is the reason
1. everything you see is the 2020 unity build. so if you have the latest version, some scripts won't work. especially Ui page script.
2. all the ui prefabs do not work unless you have the same version as they have. instead of providing prefabs, they should have taught us how to make prefabs ourselves. only told what it does.
3. this course is a youtube tutorial except there are better videos you can find on youtube.
4. peer assessment is true burden for this course. it creates uneccerasy presure to finish the project as they expect us we know every about unity and C#
5. The importance of C# is here but no menton of how it works. i had was bunce of youtube videos what i'm doing wrong.
honestly, i did learn many thing but thosething i can learn from youtube.
