Play! Make Your First Video Game in 4 Weeks from Scratch

(1/2) > >>

Alex Chouls:
Playmaker is being used in a new online course by the talented Brandon Wu, founder of Studio Pepwuper: http://skl.sh/SwBox6

What it is: The course is 100% online, virtual, and starts later this month. Best of all, it costs just $25, or $15 for the first 100 students.

Who it's for: Almost everyone! It's totally beginner-level, so it won't be appropriate for those who can already code. Artists, designers, or anyone remotely geeky or artsy will enjoy and benefit from the class though.

How you can help: If it's not too much to ask, please do share this class with your networks, either through social media or an email. Wouldn't it be cool if we could grow the Unity+PlayMaker community to be even bigger and better, spread game-making education, and encourage more creativity in the world of game development?

got missed out

As an artist who has never written a single line of code I'm developing myself full time to playmaker now so I actually have something to do with my art assets. By the end of the 4 weeks I'd hope to be beyond the "8 year old kid friendly" stage to something a little more moderate, which is why I wish instead of doing a class they'd have a large library of tutorials like digitaltutors or lynda.com.

People are saying "you don't need tutorials" because it's so basic but I keep getting stuck on on certain things.


It's only been a couple of days hopefully I'll get it figured out soon.

I have started this course and continue to work through when time permits. I am also coming from an artists perspective and struggle with coding/programming more than mo0st...
In doing this course I was able to pull together very quickly a lot of disjointed info I already had and put it directly into a game dev proces. Yes, basic games I know but my capacity to begin actually implementing Playmaker and using it to get actual outcomes that I was after increased rapidly.

i still get stumped when it comes to a more serious level of logic, but the fundamentals are covered and it was refreshing for me to see improvement in my own abilities. For $25 it is well worth it for beginners.

Hello Alex, will the class cover things like Raycasting, AI Raycasting or basiclly A fps or third person shooter ?
