Complete C# Unity Developer 2D Learn to Code Making Games Review

C# is a powerful modern language which is expressive, elegant, and type-safe. As C# is getting more noticed, there is a need for a qualified tutorial to help developers know their way around this object-oriented language.

For that reason, the online class Complete C# Unity Developer 2D: Learn to Code Making Games on Udemy has been highly sought after since its release in 2014.

What I Love About the Course

1. The Explanations Are Easy to Understand

In this course, you will learn from the basics all the way to some pretty complicated stuff. And yet, I never left a topic feeling like I didn’t understand something. Most of the time when I got stuck or something didn’t work as expected, I found it was on me. I would usually miss a step or two while looking away at my other screen where Unity was running.

Not only will you learn a lot about Game Development but you’ll leave this course with the building blocks and knowledge necessary to begin creating your own games.

2. The Difficulty Curve

If you’re a gamer, you must have noticed that the difficulty in a great game should increase over time to match the player’s skill level. Still, the level of difficulty must build on previous challenges. The same goes for education.

The application with learning is that a student should be exposed to increasingly difficult concepts, but be re-exposed to earlier challenges when the stake is high, which results in the student feeling more capable and getting a chance to review.

Ben Tristem and Rick Davidson have done a pretty good job at that. They build students up, challenge them, and then come back to review things. This way, you will be encouraged to learn new things and finish more challenges, which leads to the third reason why I love the course.

3. Challenges: A Great Way to Encourage Active Learning

Research has shown that active learning has a great impact on skill development in the sciences. Many courses have tried to implement active learning in their syllabus but ended up sounding like “I don’t want to teach you this so go do the research yourself.”

As Complete C# Unity Developer 2D: Learn to Code Making Games is project-based, the frequency of challenges is even more than other courses. But for me, this is the best way to learn Unity and C#. You will not just be learning dry programming concepts but applying them immediately to real indie games as you go.

Fortunately, all of the challenges in this course match quite well with the concepts and in-depth of the course. Additionally, all the project files will be included along with supplemental references and resources so you can always go back and check for yourself.

4. Some Other Little Things

• After a quarter of the course, I found out that Rick sounds much better at 1.25 speed. Also, seeing him forget something or make a typo made the course feel more realistic. Usually, these mistakes would open up new concepts to learn.
• The first six projects have been completely updated to Unity 2018. The remaining are in the process of being replaced with new videos on a daily basis. Therefore, you can rest assure that the course is not outdated yet.
• You will have access to a course forum where you can discuss topics on a course-wide basis, or down to the individual video. This thriving discussion forum will help you learn and share ideas with other students.
• The natural teaching of Ben and his dynamic with the secondary teacher make the class have a friendly air to it.

What I’m Not So Thrilled About

At first glance, Complete C# Unity Developer 2D: Learn to Code Making Games looks like a typical beginner tutorial on YouTube. However, it’s not quite like that.

While the first few sections are, in fact, for complete beginners, the course increases the challenge level consistently. In the end, students are put up against the final challenge of building a full multiplayer game.

As a result, a complete beginner may feel comfortable in the early phases but is likely to drop out mid-way. In contrast, a skilled student will be frustrated by the slow pace early on, feel at home in the middle, and finally feel challenged adequately in the end.

Who Should Join the Course

In keeping this review short and digestible, I would like to say that Complete C# Unity Developer 2D: Learn to Code Making Games is a course worth taking.

The class is easy to understand and most difficult concepts are thoroughly explained. The projects and challenges are delicately designed to trigger the active learning side in students. You’ll go through a difficulty curve that helps you review what you’ve learned while challenging yourself to new concepts.

However, as stated above, a complete beginner might fit in at first but feel dizzy later. So, if you’re new to Unity or C#, take your time, work hard, and earn it.
