Personal Opinion: the GameDev.tv Godot course isn't great - eviltoast

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.

    Thanks for the heads up, I also bought the 1€ shader course. Given the price I won’t be too upset if it isn’t amazing, but I’ll lower my expectations anyway.

    I previously did some of their Blender courses by Grant Abbitt and they were very good for a beginner like me, so it’s disappointing to read their Godot courses aren’t that great.

    For Godot, GDQuest seems to have the best quality from my experience so far, especially when it comes to not teaching bad practices.
