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.

Si estás pensando en hacer un juego, por muchos conocimientos que tengas de 3D, programación o engines... éste curso puede marcar la diferencia entre tener éxito o no. Un must!

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 would recommend that you guys allow us to drop our power point presentation instead of posting links from drive. Also some answers to the questions are broken i typed in game design pillar instead of game design pillars and it said that i got it wrong.

The Modules where missing information that was required on the tests. This makes the student teach themselves by using other online resources. Course states thart it is learn at your own pace but gives deadlines that can be hard to keep up with.

Good information overall. The quiz and test questions are often not at all related to the lecture and there is no supplementarily reading to be found.

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.

I am currently taking the course. It has a few issues, namely, the quizzes involved. If you want to get a decent grade, watch all the other videos first—I mean all of them, even if they are past where the quiz takes place. Most of the questions are not given answers anywhere in the course. It has good information about certain aspects but does not go into detail about certain terms, or processes, or provide many examples. This might encourage individual research if the terms were introduced within the lessons or if extra reading was involved.

The content was OK, but the assessments were terrible. Some questions would appear way too early, so you would never have the answer and would just have to retry the quiz hoping to get random questions that matched the current module - e.g. questions where the answer is in module 4 would show up in module 1.

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

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.

Disappointingly short (maybe 16 minutes each module) for a paid, and moreover, official course. Nothing but respect for the instructors but to the team who designed the course: it needs a serious redisign

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
