Very good course taught by a great instructor and TA. It's a combination of following along with guided lectures and then open exercises with a single major project at the end that builds upon each lecture and gives you the freedom to expand your project in whatever directions you'd prefer based on your own strengths and interests. While I'd like the course to talk more about game design, that's covered in the subsequent courses in the specialization.

Well designed course. you dont need to really know coding or art to complete this. though both will lead to a better time finishing the projects (as you can do more things to the game itself). I also love the fact there is pointing out you can go to youtube and find ways to learn also. This professor understands that time we are in when it comes to learning.

This course was incredibly fun and so interesting to follow. I have little to no programming experience and only a little experience with CADing programs like Maya, but the teachers made everything easy to follow and very enjoyable to do - while also teaching the essentials. I have definitely leanred quite a bit in this class. 100% recommend.

Great course! I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn the basics of Unity and game design in general. Nice instructor and easy to follow lessons. The final project offers a really good opportunity to create your own unique game. That being said, to fully "unlock its potential" some prior programming experience is advisable.

This was great. A lot of work and preparation has obviously gone into the content, and the level, pacing, and amount of work required is just right. I tend to start, get frustrated with, and drop out of quite a few courses on this site, but this one was a joy to finish. Hopefully that will continue through the whole specialization!

Teaches you how to make a 2D shooter with the ready assets, information is presented well and easy to follow. Got a decent idea on how to twist what was provided into something else. Gonna check out the other courses to see what else can be done and hopefully cover stuff like level design and how to create assets.

I have learn Unity before and this course really teaches you the basic of creating your first game really well. It's more structured and technical course and that's a good thing. I spent some times to do the assignment because they ask you to modify and put your own touch on the game.

Great course. It is a very good and welcome introduction into using unity. The one thing I would say needs adding is a bit more on the Coding front. If you are new to coding like me, the videos on it aren't really enough, but are still very useful for a start.

Liked this course a lot. I was totally beginner for the game development and unity engine but how beautifully this course have taught to build my first ever game. The instructors explain very well throughout the course. overall great experience.

Excellent course! Very clear and helped me learn a lot about Unity. Sadly, I don't think I will continue the course as Unity/video game design maybe isn't for me, but this is a perfect course for any beginner into the industry!

A nice course to see what a game is made of! Everything is explained step by step so you are able to follow the course, and they provide you with the material so you can focus on learn how to use the software

This course is a great way to get into game development and programming as a whole. The concepts are easy to understand and you finish with a solid project that gives you a sense of accomplishment.

Thank you for the knowledge that has been given. My hope of learning to be a game developer can be realized by taking this course and I plan to take specializations in this game course.

I learn a lot of things from this course. I really wanted learn but I did not have enough money, Coursera is an excellent platform for people like me who cannot afford courses.

Muy buen curso, con un desarrollo muy coherente para un nivel de principiante y mucho mas fácil de asimilar si tienes conceptos de programación, lo recomiendo mucho.

The instructor masters the subject and he knows what is relevant to the newbie.

The Solar system project is perfect to enter the (vast) world of Unity programming.

Great Course, loved the entire series and made a decent game with a lot to expend upon in the end. I will follow trough with the other courses.

Good for the beginners. Instructions are clear and easy to understand. Assignments are informative and fun to make. I recommended.

Great course with easy to follow steps! Perfect for a beginner who wants to enroll himself in the world of video game industry.

I loved the course! Brian Winn is such a great professor! Thank you Michigan State University and Coursera for this opportunity!

Amazing course, plus Brian Winn is one of the few online teachers that has genuinely kept me interested throughout the course.

Very Hands-on. You learn technical and conceptual skills for video game designing. Very grateful for what I've learnt here.

I realy loved that course. It gave me the opportunity to create my first game in Unity. The lessons are complete and clear

I had a lot of fun! This is a great introduction to the world of unity game design. I cant wait to take the next class!

The teaching methods and courses are perfect. The only problem is you have to wait for peer assignments for a while.
