What people are saying
very good course
Very good course, i really like this teacher.
A very good course with practical knowledge and teachings of how to earn money in game development industry.
e It is a very good course that covers multiple things, most of them would take an entire course to learn all the aspects but the teacher does a great effort to point most of the important things for the business.
Very good course, I learned a considerable amount from it.

project management
An excellent course which explores the game industry and explains topics like intellectual property, teamwork, project management, and entrepreneurship.
For example, the instructor talks about project management, public speaking, how to write a resume etc.

learn anything
I've been self-employed for 15+ years and can honestly say I didn't learn anything that I hadn't already known.
This feels like it could have been included on another course, just like the previous one seems like an extra course just to keep people enrolled and paying since it wasn't that fundamental neither did I learn anything actually useful to develop video games on C#.

get into
I felt this course gave me the least out of this specialization, and I also felt this course scratched a lot of things, but didn't quite get into many details that could have been mentioned (maybe even instead of the assignments that were quite dull to me).
A super complete course that wil prepare you to get into business!
very interesting
Very interesting to see the complete process of making a video game I find the course material at Coursera all very good.
Very interesting topics that are useful not only for the game industry but for anyone that wants to be a professionist in the future.

some examples
When we were assigned an elevator pitch as an assignment, it might have been nice to have seen some examples of elevator pitches--what makes a good (or a bad) elevator pitch?
Having a template would both be distracting, but also give you some examples on what the level needed would to be to be able to pass the assignments.

game developers
For this lecture I give 5 star is because it talks the whole picture of game industry, and talks many soft skills game developers should consider.
The content of this course is pretty valuable and important for game developers.

business side
Coveres about 80% off business side.
This series could be posted to Youtube for free and have the same impact - to this point anyway :( Good course for learning about the business side of games Really nice overyview on how to start a videogame company or get a job in the industry.
my time
The coursework was thorough, and I enjoyed my time in the course.
This was a catch-all bucket of highly subjective content which while at times interesting, was extremely irrelevant to the learning and development I'm seeking/expecting; and that lack of ROI on my time is further destroyed by the activeness and peer-review elements of this class.At the third class in this specialization, I've seen my willingness and effort for each assignment deteriorate.
