I just wanted to point out a possible solution for installation of visual studio on linux, windows, or mac via virtual machines.

Microsoft developer network provides a two month trial windows 10 virtual machine that will run in Vbox, Parallels, VMware and HyperV with an already installed visual studio 17. The VM expires in a couple of month is why this is legal. I use vbox and keep all my code on a shared folder so nothing is lost just delete the machine and start over.

The download is ~20gb and the ending virtual box drive created is 126gb so lots of space will be needed to run this virtual machine.

Here is the link to Microsoft development virtual machines: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines

For Windows users you can also install VS 2017 via chocolaty which is a package manager for powershell. Via chocolaty you can also install git and poshgit which gives a nice powershell color prompt for command line git operations.

Hi everyone! Magandang araw from the Philippines! I just wanted to drop an intro and try to get the most out of this course, for how much it costs. Honestly I didn’t know what to expect, but finding this thread and skimming through the (currently) 184 replies is a really good reminder of how much of a global phenomenon game development is with people from all over the US, Europe, and even SEA!

I picked up this course because I tried to make a small game with my friends in college. Since then we’ve all moved away to get on with our own lives, but I hope I can finish that prototype we never really had the time to finish while graduating. Just so I can show the guys what it would have looked like.

Hey everyone- Chris here from Atlanta, Georgia. I’m an audio production professional with an interest in gaming and a passion for sound design. I’ve spent most of my career working in radio stations, music studios, and post-production houses. I’ve never learned a programming language or built a game, and it’s hindered my ability to break into the audio for games industry. It seems they want people who not only do sound design but also code the audio into the game. I’m excited to learn how to implement audio assets into Unreal (and hopefully other engines in the future) to further my career into the game design field. I feel fairly out of my depth here, which I hope is normal, but I’m a hard worker so hopefully I can understand all of this! Looking forward to speaking with some of you!

Hi my name is Steven. I am from northern New Jersey USA. I am primarily taking this course to begin my journey into C++ programming and using the Unreal Engine. Though Ben says he goes through teaching basic C++ rather quickly I am going to take it slow and read every discussion and use every resource for all sections.

That said, I just purchased the Unreal VR course by Ben as well. This is where all my learning is heading as I want to be a VR artist. I have a lot of philosophical ideas and some shadow work to express in future projects.

I wish you all the best of luck in this course!

Steven

Hi All,

My name is Lukas, and I am a full time developer just looking to pursue my hobby in game development. I code in C# and have worked in the past as a QA tester for video games.
I have always enjoyed playing games, and have taken a few game related courses while at university in Montreal.
My goal for this course is to learn how to use the Unreal Engine and with the VR course, create a small game for the Oculus Rift or GearVR.

Hello everyone! My name’s Ethan, and I’m a student graphic designer looking to learn to make my own games. I’ve done a couple of game design courses, and I’m really looking forward to one that actually helps me learn code! (I didn’t say those courses were very good) I want to keep this as a hobby, but that doesn’t mean I won’t be putting my full effort into this.

Edit: Also, I’m from Colorado Springs!
