Hi Ben, Happy New Year.
We have a 2020 vision now, consisting of 9 beginner courses to teach the fundamentals. They don’t exist yet of course, so this RPG is being built a little early.
This means we will have to assume a lot of knowledge in the RPG course. The entire game will be built on-screen, however we will supply and import things like…
- SFX, music, 2D art and 3D models
- Some code covered in Unity course (e.g. level manager)
- Play tuning matrices for the game design portion
- Game design documents will shown, but not created
- Business and marketing decisions will be discussed but not justified.
… this will naturally leave a gap for the beginner courses to fill starting 2018. We will build detailed syllabuses for this suite of beginner courses as we go, but no more beginner content than that. We already have to make a Steam game as a 4 man team in about a year AND make a 40+ hour course. Making the missing beginner content at the same time is impossible.
In the long term this RPG project will be amazing for all, it will be the teaching experience we need to make even more amazing content moving forwards.
Regards
Ben
