Our Verdict

The Create a Complete 2D Survivors Style Game in Godot 4 course on Udemy offers a treasure trove of learning opportunities for aspiring game developers. With its clear, methodical teaching approach, the instructor imparts valuable knowledge encompassing various facets of game design. However, potential students should be aware of occasional inconsistencies with different Godot versions and a fast-paced curriculum that may not accommodate beginners in programming. Integrating more hands-on exercises catering to troubleshooting and exploring alternative solutions would further augment the course's effectiveness.

What We Liked

  • Comprehensive course covering various aspects of game development like mechanics, Godot engine fundamentals, animations, UI, publishing, and saving/loading
  • Instructor's clear and easy-to-understand teaching style; ability to anticipate and catch bugs before they are corrected
  • Strong focus on practical implementation through building a 2D arena survival roguelike game
  • Value-added bonus content that sets students up to start making their own abilities and upgrades
  • Well-structured curriculum with good habits for creating scalable projects and emphasis on UI design

Potential Drawbacks

  • Minor version inconsistencies between the course and Godot engine (4.2.2 vs 4 RC1); instructor changing stuff along the way
  • Lack of hands-on problem-solving exercises; course is primarily 'do this, then do that'
  • Rapid pace which can be challenging to keep up with; insufficient in-depth introduction to programming and system design principles
