This course covers essential information that will develop key skills and methods for developing games and becoming a good game designer. I could not give it 5 stars because the assignments' open questions settings. Additionally, sometimes it feels like the assignments' questions have not really been covered in detail during the course. Perhaps receiving an AI feedback along with peer review would be a good addition. However, very useful course!

The 2 assignments were great, as I felt I learned a lot and had excellent examples and instructions to work from. The video content is also great. The quizzes were quite frustrating as many of the questions were not covered in the video content, but fortunately they were very repetitive.

Its quite a informative course and I thoroughly enjoyed it, but some practice quiz answers need to be looked at by the course creators and corrected. Discussions posts will give you an idea.

Do not misinterpret the 3/5 stars - all the actual video material you get are superb and paint a understandable and useful picture of where to begin and what to expect in game development. The main problem are the (supposedly) AI generated questions that often completely miss the point of the respecting lecture and ask question whose answer where not only not mentioned in the material but so far off topic that you couldn't even solve them if you put every thought imaginable in there. It led to quite a few fails on my side, yet since correct answers are also not given to you, all you can do is guess what the AI wants from you and hope the next selection of questions do not ask you to fill out one of the absolutely dreaded question boxes the AI had the audacity to think they reflect the learning experience.

It's a fine course, though the written answers on some quizzes are extraordinarily hard to get the correct answer to - especially since the answers are meant to be found through research rather than from the course material. Given that the final course project is to write a Game Design Document, the course didn't teach very much specifically about writing them. The writing prompts for the GDD were quite good, but much bigger questions than can be answered in an 8 hour-estimated assignment. This could be re-designed to specifically write an early-concept GDD, only including basic ideas to expand upon later. I believe that was the intention but the template and teachings did not make that clear.

Some of the quiz questions through out did not relate to what was discussed prior, which meant I would have top fail a quiz and then do outside research to better understand and pass. Personally the videos could have been longer in each section to touch on these missed areas in the quiz.

I really liked the videos and the final project; however, the quizzes included questions about information that wasn’t explained in the videos.

Some questions on the quizzes aren't really discussed in the videos, kind of requiring you to do your own research.

Tests need some adjustment since some questions are on material that was not covered.

Even though I really enjoy the course it was just too hard to follow instructor, with addition of fab, I can't follow instructor, because megascans is in fab now or whatever. Instructor is great but if it is official course from Epic Games they should realize that it should be up to date
