Personal Opinion: the GameDev.tv Godot course isn't great (lemmy.ml)

Before the humble bundle came out, I bought the GameDev.tv "complete" Godot course - I had a good early bird discount since I've used them for Unity.

Over the past few years, I have completed the 2D, 3D, and several of the RPG intermediate courses for unity as well as a Blender course so was super excited for this new one!

And then was super disappointed.

I start with the 2D course every time and this one was...hollow. Super empty. Maybe a quarter of the content as the Unity course with a lot of basic things missing and some really bad practice promoted. I did the whole course on 1.25x speed and still had to skip through a lot of waffle.

I'm now doing courses for free on Youtube and have learnt far, far more.

It really is a shame as I'm a fan of GameDev.tv, but they really missed the mark with the Godot offering.

I'm slowly realising one of the joys of FOSS is the community driven aspect means free or ko-fi funded courses tend to be really good.

That's true! As an addition, I can recommend going over to the Godot discord. Sometimes reactions can be a bit annoyed or they will misjudge noobish questions for lazy questions but most of the time there one or two around that want to help! Sidenote: helping someone else with their project can be super fun and educational.

I have a natural aversion to Discord. I use Slack all day at work, why would I want to use it in my spare time, you know?
