Become a Game Designer the Complete Series Coding to Design

If you are serious about becoming a game designer, then you already know that you need the most current and complete game design training possible. To succeed in this competitive industry it is essential to have an expert knowledge of the entire game development pipeline. Whether it's your goal to work for a major game studio, or to develop and publish your own indie games, one thing is clear, you will need to be well trained as both a programmer and an artist.Throughout this extensive training series you will learn beginner to expert level techniques in the areas of 3D game development (Unity), computer animation, digital painting, and programming.

You will be learning expert techniques and workflows from veterans who have been working in the game industry for over 15 years and have a passion for making great games.You will be extensively trained on programs like Unity, Maya, 3DS Max, Mudbox, and Photoshop. Learning powerful tools like these are made easy with fun projects that are designed to take the fear out of learning such advanced software like Unity3D.Your training will start with Unity, which is a powerful game engine that has been used by countless studios and indie developers all over the world to build some amazing games. Unity's intuitive and user friendly interface is an excellent place to start your path to becoming a game designer. You will start by learning the fundamentals of Unity, giving you a great foundation for you to get excited and confident to move on to more advanced Unity projects which will have you building incredible worlds. In addition to mastering the Unity interface you will be learning how to code in the c# programming language, letting you create any 2D or 3D your imagination can come up with.

After you have mastered the Unity game engine it is time to move on and learn how to create your own game assets.

You will be using programs like Maya and 3DS Max to model, texture, animate, and render complex 3D models and scenes. And once again you will start of with the basics learning how to create simple low poly models before moving on to advanced digital sculpting techniques in programs like Mudbox. You will then learn how to transfer your 3D models and animations into Unity for game assembly.

Finally, you will be moving on to the digital painting section of this master series, where you learn how to digitally paint fantasy worlds, creatures, and characters. And just like all of our previous sections in this master series, you will start off by learning the basics with fun project based lessons, before moving on to more intermediate and advanced digital painting. Even if you feel you don't possess any kind of drawing skills, you need not to fear as this digital painting portion of your training is designed to once again take you from absolute beginner all the way to an advanced level.

You have a lot of exciting things to start learning and we are excited to be your guides along the way.

What people are saying

easy to follow

thank you for bringing a such a nice course to us Apart from the script it's very good and easy to follow (for the first 30 or so lessons).

Instructor is easy to follow and understand.

The pace is smooth, easy to follow, and succinct.

Really informative so far and easy to follow.

A good step-by-step, very easy to follow, great for kinesthetic learners like myself.

I love the course, I'm really learning and I have fun at the same time Offers a ton of information across multiple disciplines and is easy to follow along.

also the author doesnt reply to anyone in the comments or qa which is upsetting This is good beginners guide so far very good, easy to follow and well put together layer by layer, although i had to just listen for intro considering i knew the interface, but when we get into the coding, the blanks stares began, although listening and working at the same, he makes it that much easier to follow Well organized and love the fact the the videos are small and on the point so it is easy to look up a specific thing you have trouble with have to be more specific about the movement of the objects and the keys used.for instance why tranform,translate is used when assigning the keyinput to the object.

I am entirely new to game development and coding but I think this course is the best place to start, the instruction and guidance are easy to follow and going back and forth to check errors is good practice.

Other than the lessons being a tad loose they are pretty easy to follow and very informative.

This is easy to follow and a lot of fun.

Easy to follow instructions and speaker is easy to understand.

poor sound quality Great course, the lessons are easy to follow.

I love how detailed and easy to follow this is, for new and experienced users alike.

Not much interaction and practical tasks Still early in the course but very easy to follow, understand and practice This is great but I disliked the annoying humming sound in the background, but all in all, this is very detailed.

so far so good

not really updated, and my computer will only let me use visual studio for some reason, but its already linked to unity and everything so all should be good So far so good.

So far so good, just exploring the tools we're going to be reviewing through the course Seems good so far.

so far so good Just starting this course, but it could be helpful with the skills I already have.

so far so good I've learned so much from these tutorials so far.

Well, so far so good.

I still have a long way to go, but so far so good.

so far so good.Really helpful Bought this course for the Maya and photoshop to really push my skills over the edge with my level designs.

So far so good, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to become a game designer/developer Perchè ho notato che risulta facile e di ottima qualità It looks like a lot of content and so far it looks like it will be the right learning speed This course is perfect for me.

So far so good, It's taking me step by step.

Other than that, i'm just starting.. so far so good :) so far so good.

So far so good though.

It has great starting & code structure to start with So far so good,..

Muito bom, porém tem o som muito baixo So far so good, I've found out I do not have to actually purchase the software in order to follow along.

The unity version your training videos work with is from 2015 and not even Unity 2017 :( it's very interesting and the interaction is very nice so far so good.

step by step

very great curse Everything step by step and easy to remember I tried many of others curses but in everyone, I got bored after few minutes It had good information, but the course itself is severely outdated and the instructor is painfully monotone troughout the lectures.

Look forward to actually getting into the coding and step by step processes the belong therein even though i haven't finished the course yet, i feel i have experienced enough of it to write a review.

This is a very full course, and the instructor does a great job with going through step by step so that you're able to easily follow along.

It provides you with reference material that you create yourself, and step by step instructions so you can see how each line of code evolves into something useful.

I like the detail and step by step progress, makes it a lot easier to understand and i can now begin game design like I've wanted to for a long time.

if you have no idea at all how to use it like me then you learn it step by step slowly and it is like you are in class with him personally.

So far the lectures have been clear and concise, going through everything step by step.

very resourceful I wish he had a label for people who know how to program to skip certain lessons I am loving this course so far i think it is really clear and well layed out :) Although some time it is not very clear what the elements are in the programmation the narrator clearly state that we will have the elements explained later on and by so doing he want us to focus on specific things that might be better for a step by step understanding.

Its a good way to learn when they break it down step by step.

Detailed and step by step..Easy and flowing The price for such a spectacular course is outstanding!

Explanations are clear and easy to follow I am glad it is step by step and even the small steps are talked about in great detail.

Easy to follow, step by step course Pretty good so far, low hum with the audio gives me a headache.

Its A Great Class And It Tells You Step By Step On How To Do Everything the video needs a update but its is understandeble Seems like I am going to learn a lot and have a great time in doing so!

great video quality, good content, and step by step guided Very imformative Actually great.

highly recommend

I am currently at the beginning of the course, and I can say that I highly recommend it!

(speaking from experience) I highly recommended to everyone who is willing to start their game development journey!

Highly recommend.

Apart from this, I highly recommend anyone who is interested in Game Development to take this course.

It's a great course and I would highly recommend Left a message with instructor asking if there would ever be an update to newer versions of Unity.

I highly recommend it.

I highly recommend it!

I highly recommend this course!

This is the best course on game development ever I have already learned so much and cant wait to learn more if you want to get to make and program your games I highly recommend this to anyone even slightly interested.

I highly recommend you to get this course for beginners, if you feel like your Unity3d C# skill is not really that solid yet.

Highly recommend The content is great to present Unity, but the sound quality is bad, with a constant noise in the background.

Would highly recommend!

no longer

it seems a little outdated(for example the unity webpage is no longer unity3d but simply unity now) but overall enjoying what i'm seeing so far :) There are changes to how Unity has made available it installation file and hence makes me feel that this course is outdated 02.05.19 Most things are outdated, since the videos were made back in 2014.

The only issue i've had so far, is that unity apparently no longer supports mono, and therefore I had to download Visual Studio in order to move on in the course.

The instructor is great, the classes are also very good and informative, but some of it is already outdated, as for some lines of code he writes are no longer usable, but it's nothing too bad, as I just have to look up on Unity's API for some solution.

I am getting the feeling this instructor is no longer active.

only issue

The only issue i had was working my head around the current version of unity that i am using.

Very nice course, my only issue was that the early videos the speaker's voice was extremely low.

only issue is, it is outdated.
