Hey everybody! Just recently enrolled in the Unreal Engine developer course in Udemy. Iām not entirely new to Unreal or coding but am looking towards improving and rebuilding my foundation with Unreal and C++.
Iām also studying Game development in collegeā¦ which if I am to be completely honest, Iāve slacked off and am currently only barely passing. Iām looking to make a complete 180 and get myself fully concentrated and back on track and I believe this course on Udemy can help me do so!
Hope to make everyoneās acquaintance and will be seeing you all in the forums!

Hello everyone, how are you all doing? I am just starting this course and it is my hope to learn C++. I have used it in the past, but as they say if you donāt use it, you will lose it. I havenāt completely forgotten everything, but donāt remember enough to be successful just yet. I ask a lot of questions, hopefully, some one will jump in and help me out. I am a college professor trying to move into a new direction. See you all in the threads!

Hi Everyone, my name is Jeanne and I am new to this site. I am very interested in programming and love it but have not had time to work on it. In August I had a brain aneurysm burst and subsequently lost my job. I am 50 years old and now I have no job. All of a sudden I have tons of time on my hands. I spend most of my days gaming, trying to rehabilitate my brain into thinking properly again. I have bought several programming classes from Ben and Iām wanting to take them and maybe write my own game. I am hoping that doing some programming will help my brain heal as well. I have always loved programming and feel my most happy while programming so I am sure it will relax and make me feel comfortable. I wanted to say hi to everyone.
Thank you for letting me into the site!
Jeanne

Hi 
My name is Sarah, and I just finished my honours degree in Computer Arts from Abertay University in Scotland last week. Already getting itchy feet from not studying, so here I am. I have made a few games as part of a team before but I only know the art side of the coin, so will be awesome to see it from a programmers side, and gain insight into the full pipeline 
.
I specialise in Technical Art in Maya and character rigging, but am doing this course to widen my portfolio. Only ever touched on Python and MEL scripting before, so C++ is very new to me. Really looking forward to getting stuck in

HI everyone,
My name is Nate, Iām from Scotland. Iāve recently graduated Uni where I studied a software development degree. I focused on Android and Java, so if anyone ever has any questions or wants tips then please do message!
Iāve been a part of Benās courses for a while, and finally getting around to joining this site & starting the RPG course now that I have a bit more free time after work! Iām always keen to meet other programmers and graphics designers so message anytime, Iād love to work together with a few people.

Hi there everyone! My name is Anthony R. Stewart and Iāve just recently graduated from Full Sail University for a Bachelor of Science degree in Game Design. Iām interested in making FPS and 1on1 fighting games. My short term goal is to hone my skills as a designer to join the team at Treyarch or Namco Bandai USA and provide insightful contributions to the development of their AAA lineup of IPās. My dream career is to own my own development company and to usher in a line of gamification titles that can be used in public schools. I believe our teachers have a lot on their plate and providing an avenue for learning will help them facilitate the students. I look forward to speaking with you all and I hope that we can build some great working relationships together.

Hi all,
So full disclosure, Iām a returning member. I previously completed the complete unity course, the certified developer course and obtained my unity certifiction in October last year. However I then lost some focus. Truth is I live in a part of the world thatās to game development careers what camels are to the Amazonian rain forest. I got disheartened. The last few months Iāve been studying web development as thatās largely the career options where we live now.
However Iāve increasingly realised that game development is my passion. So even if itās only a hobby, I miss it a great deal. Iām now retaking the complete unity course and look forward to working on the RPG course soon!

Hi everyone,
My nameās Hugo and ever since the Unity course first popped up in Kickstarter, Iāve been slowly compiling every other course Ben and his team have been putting out in the hopes that one day Iād come up with my own game. Adulting has seriously hindered my ability to focus on this passion and even when I do start, I get sidetracked or discouraged, but Iām hoping this time is different. Iām going all in with the Unreal course and hopefully that will jump-start the beginning of something great.
Iām a Brooklyn, NY native and I was able to visit the Playcraft Expo in the Microsoft building in Manhattan. A lot of people had very interesting games and some of them were even more impressive because they were done by 1 man teams.
I think where I struggle the most is just the logic behind programming. I begin understanding the the basic concepts and then Iām dumb-founded because I donāt know how to put them into practice, but again, I hope this time around I can really put my best foot forward and finally grasp the concepts that have been plaguing me for ages.
Anyway, good luck to you all and hopefully weāll interact and help each other out!
