Happy that I stumbled upon this course. Perfect for people who do not have a lot of free time, sections are brief enough that I can do just one or two a day and not get overwhelmed. Also great for people who had done some coding in the past, carefully introducing concepts and sort of digging them out from my memory without causing a mess.
Everything is clear so far and easy to follow, thanks team!
This course has been awesome so far. I finished my CYOQ game and I’m super happy with it. I’m grasping the Unity side of things really well, buuuut, you guys may as well be speaking Venusian. I got half the questions on the quiz wrong and I’m listening to you two talk and just thinking, “I have literally no idea what they’re saying.”
Would you recommend I go back through the previous lectures on C#, taking them slower? I feel like I’m paying really close attention and everything turns out right after I finish coding, but I am 0% grasping the terminology. Or will this stuff start to gel as I go through the next sections?
Thanks guys!
This was a good lecture for anyone who is brand new to Unity, as I am not exactly new, but still wanted to follow along I decided that I wanted to add more game-like elements to the game. So I added a health system that would track if the play should hit the dead state, and a karma system that could affect certain points of the game.
I agree that if you are new to coding, following along with what they do in these courses is a great first step to learning what you will need to do. One thing you should realize about a class is that any object is an instance of a class. Meaning it is of that type and can do anything that the type can do (depending on access modifiers). Don’t fret if you don’t understand that now, it will become clearer as you move forward.
Its totally understandable that we did not touch on narrative design in here as that is a field unto its own (that I am trying to study at the moment as well) and this is a course about Unity and C#. I guess I just color myself lucky that I already know how to code thanks to being a computer science student nearing graduation so I am able to focus on designing the game a bit more and flex my wings you could say when it comes to implementing what I want in the games we work on in the course.
I don’t think there is much to be done to these lectures pending an update in a few years regarding the engine used in the course. (Which I know is a ton of work so I don’t expect it). Regarding this, I find it a good challenge to fix something that worked in Unity 2018 that might have issues in Unity 2020 and feel it enhances my learning experience. But I would not recommend this approach to a beginner at this point.
Anyways, awesome course, I will keep powering through and have some ideas about how to make a block breaker more than just a block breaker that I will try in the next section.
Cheers!
The Big-Small way of teaching is much more appealing then, what you’d normally learn through programming courses, game development etc. This is the main reason I signed up for multiple courses on here. Each module seems to give the detail needed, and then challenges you to extend however you want. Even for this particular lecture (which is a small overview), you get the detail needed at that stage and other bits are expanded on later.
As a complete beginner your points on formatting were very helpful for my confidence as I don’t know anything about that jazz yet. Also the part where Ben talks about why should we learn about scriptable objects and what they are felt very important to me.
Overall I really enjoyed the conversation as it boosted my confidence in the gained knowledge so far. I’ve been waiting for such a video and am looking forward to this type of content further into the course, you guys are just extra helpful and make the learning process not as painful as it could’ve been.
I really enjoyed the proccess. Also, I’m having my first experiences about programming, so this is very special for me. Instructors both Rick and Ben are great they have amazing energy. I’m really excited keep on going and become a problem solver ninja. 
The biggest insight I’ve got from this lecture that I must re-watch the whole section 
I feel like a monkey,
(Or a code monkey if you wish) which can repeat some actions without understanding of how the whole process works. Hope this will become more clear after second or maybe the third attempt. So far I got difficulties in remembering and understating all the stuff.
Anyway, thank you guys, for such a nice videocourse. The great thing is that Rick inspires us not to give up even in cases of my example described before.
P.s. sorry for possible mistakes, not a native English speaker.
P.p.s. Not sure if it is a popular request, but maybe it’s possible to add Russian subs for video lectures in udemy? If there’s already such an option, haven’t discovered it yet.
