Hello, my name is Gustav van Rooyen.
I am an indie developer from South Africa.
I have about five years experience in game development. I released my first commercial game on Steam called THE ADVENTURE OF SAM CARLISLE: THE HUNT FOR THE LOST TREASURE using Gamemaker Studio.
I am doing this course to learn to get out of my comfort zone. I have an idea for a 3D game that I would like try.
Hi, my name is Denis. I am 30 years old from Sofia, Bulgaria. I have a passion for video-games since the early 90ā and would like to create my own game. More than two years ago I found Udemy and Benās courses and started with Unreal course, but due to different reasons (always on-call work, newborn, etc.) I was unable to pass more than 30% of the course. Then again I tried with the Unity course, but again I was unable to find the time and did around 20% of it. Now that I have left my job Iāll try to focus on the courses starting with Unity 02 this time. I want to get into Indie Game Development. I know itās a hard path but I will try my best this time. I am a Reddit user. I also love technology, pc hardware, vr, etc. I have owned Oculus Rift DK2 and currently
own HTC Vive which I hope to use not only for playing games, but to actually make something.
Best Regards,
Denis
Hi I am Renee.
Nice to meet you all. I am an artist and fashion-jewellery designer, already a bit lost in a completely new way of layout and language here, but loving it. Iām hoping to learn some new skills, diving in a complete new discipline of 3D design and play around with textures.
If there is anyone with similar backgrounds I would love your feedback, cause so far I see a lot of game developers, which is also awesome, but I would love to see in what ways designers apply the program, tricks and tips are welcome.
Love to you all.
Renee

Welcome to the community Miana!
A marine biologist, how awesome, perhaps as you progress through the Blender course you can create and share some marine themed models for us, we will look forward to seeing your work 
thanks

Hi, my name is Johann Harding. I am 29 years old dude from the province of Quebec in Canada, more precisely āsouth shoreā (Rive-sud) of Montreal.
I have dabbled with Unity and C# for years and read about programming in general casually. Iāve started attending a programming course at the College CDI of Longueuil since 3months now. I am looking forward to learn as much as I can about programming and Video Game design. Thatās why I started the Unreal C++ Course.
Thank you.
Hello everyone!
My name is Shawn, aka sozzie, from Ottawa Canada. Studied programming quite a while back, been flirting with the idea of game development for a while and been looking around all the available courses for a while. Iām registered to quite a few of Benās courses actually (Unity 1&2, Unity Cert, Unreal and Blender).
Iāve decided for 2018 Iām give this a real go since I have a couple game ideas already and Iāll see if I can make anything happen with them.
Cheers!
Shawn

Hello people !
My name is Yassine and I am 28.
I am living in France in a small town not to far from Paris.
I got for a long time the will to learn how to make video games cause I love this. I never coded by myself, but always have been really curious about it.
I know itāll takes time from me to be able to achieve what I want, but I am prepared ! haha
My real goal is to be able to create an RPG game. I already wrote the specifications, and a good part of the database are wrote in spreadsheet form.
At first I didnāt plan to make the code by myself, but I ended thinking it will be funny and less complicated that to ask everywhere on the internet.
Maybe my ambition is too big, but I donāt really care. I am here to learn, and try my best in something I find enjoyable.
Pleased to meet you all
I am just introducing myself. I am completely new to Unreal Engine and game development in general. I do have an antiquated computer programming degree, but I havenāt used it since 2003 and have forgotten much. I am just thrilled by coming back to C++ and getting to know how to navigate the engine!
Hey everyone!
Steve here, and Iām from Southern California. I currently work for a small game studio as a gameplay/UI engineer. Before (finally) landing a job in the game industry, I worked in digital media as a senior software engineer.
Iāve dabbled in hobby game projects for the PC off and on for the past 20 years or so, made predominately with C++, OGL, DX, etc. I had never been a huge fan of complete game engines but I have to admit that the modern versions of Unity and Unreal are pretty amazing.
Iāve been poking at the Unity course content for the past 6 months or so. My goal is to become more active in the course and this community. Iām happy to answer any questions about working in the game industry or programming in general.
It is GREAT time to be a gamer and/or a game developer! 
Cheers!
p.s. I loved the Descent series as a teenager, hence my avatar. It was the game that inspired me to pursue game development.
Hello! Iām a graphic designer from Columbus, OH. Iāll be celebrating my big 40 this year. Iām looking to broaden my horizons, and fill in any gaps I may have missed along the way. Iāve dabbled in 3D for years. In the beginning, it was out of curiosity and the desire to mod my favorite games. I used the skills I gained in future graphic design projects.
My ultimate goal, Iād love to create my own games. I have several ideas that Iād like to create and release for play on Android devices. Iām hoping to update my portfolio with several projects, to take it from interesting to wow.
Itās a pleasure to meet everyone!
Hello, Iām a software developer from Faenza, Italy. Iām 26 years old and I subscribed to this website alongside the C++/Unreal Eng course.
My aim is to improve my current C++ skills and learn the great tool that Unreal Engine seems to be!
Hope to stick around for a while and maybe have an opportunity of conversation with more skilled people
Hi there!
Iām 23, from Germany but living in England and I signed up for the GIMP and Blender courses. I hope to learn a couple things in order to work on my portfolio, as I want to start working in the industry.
So far, I mainly have experience regardiing illustration, especially using Paint Tool SAI. Though I used to work with GIMP for a few years when I first started looking into digital art, about 10 years ago. I recently also started playing around with Krita but Iām not very familiar with it yet.
I look forward to learning new stuff around here and seeing where things will lead.
Hello everyone, Iām Audax from Ghana (West Africa), 28 yrs old, I work as a JS fullstack developer for a New York based startup called Andela.

I aspire to be a Game Developer in the next 5 years and Iām working hard towards it. Hope to learn a lot from all of you here. Cheers!

Hello people. Iām here to learn Blender after having some success with Rhino and 3D printing. Would like to do the same with Blender plus learn some animation to help promote mental health awareness as well as promoting better mental health management for those who suffer from mental health problems. Will also be handy to promote my 3D printing stuff too. Iām a dab hand at Wordpress and would love to include animations of my work on a future site of mine. Hope to do well, hope to make new friends with an interest in using Blender in similar ways. Or just new friends in general! I have fibromyalgia and CPTSD, so am totally open to meeting people who are retraining for whatever reason. Mine is primarily health - based. Although getting creative is always ace.
