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.

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.

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.

Ok video presentations, poor evaluation quizzes and grading (requiring knowledge not presented in the course and not reinforcing what was presented), the prompt to make you create a complete GDD and the community around it are the only saving graces.

I find the instructor to be a poor speaker and quite unenthusiastic. He seems like a nice person and clearly knows the subject matter, but I don't think that teaching is for him. He also keeps plugging his own game, which feels a little icky. However, the biggest problem with this course is not the instructor, but rather the fact that the quizzes contain questions on material that we HAVE NOT EVEN COVERED. And I'm talking about very, very specific material. Apparently, there was an entire history of video games portion that was cut from the syllabus, but yet questions regarding the history of video games found their way to the quizzes. Not only that, but the quizzes feature an "AI" scoring system, in which you input a written answer and the "AI" determines whether or not you answered correctly. Multiple times, I entered the EXACT answer they were looking for, and had the answer marked incorrect. Overall, this course is horribly designed, horribly executed, and in need of a total overhaul.

es puro concepto en si ,no te enseñan a desarrollar un videojuego solo te califican si sabes los conceptos de juego y ellos lo revisan,califico mal por que es de paga despues de un semana,no se si la funcion sea conseguir un trabajo con ellos,pero si quiero aprender a desarrollar desde 0 al menos deberian cambiar el nombre del curso
