This is a great opportunity, thanks for the link. I'm on overtime compensation in January, enough time to check out some new things. Bought a course in Unity, Python and SQL.

bought 5 classes, the 2 on Unreal Engine, the Unity one, the Blender one and lastly one about how to make pixel art. I'll start with the Unity one I think whenever I have time.
about 14 hours
I've been semi-actively going through (a few videos a week) and I am supremely happy with the course. I used to do some basic coding a long time ago (anyone remember graal when it had a level editor and you could host you own servers for free?) and I havent had much trouble with this course. Sure, sometimes I get a little behind because I had to look something up but overall it has been pretty easy going. Early on, probably right off the bat, the instructor says this course is for all skill levels but those who know nothing about coding will likely have to do some research on the side.
The community is active and helpful, the instructor is constantly adding more videos and even updating the earlier ones to correct mistakes or just to add in some notes. I highly recommend this course.

Finished the first little project
Enjoying it so far, teacher is good and understandable, the course doesn't move too fast and everything is very clear.

I love Pluralsight. I have been using subscribed to that service for over 2 years. I'm tempted to buy the Unity course, but I know I won't have the time to go in-depth with it like I would.
According to the people in the thread in OT, these sales are common so I wouldn't sweat it.

it's really exciting when your first project just works how it should isn't it? I still love that feeling years later.
I'm pretty interested in trying out both Unity and UE4, but as someone with zero programming experience and a lot of games to get distracted with, I worry that I'll try these courses for a day or two and then give up out of frustration/boredom.
What I've always wanted to try from a game design standpoint is cutscenes. I always wanted to do cool looking mock-battles like the type you see on Dead Fantasy or Souce Filmmaker. Ideally, I would then share those ideas as proof of concept trailers to people in the hopes of drumming up interest.
Would Unity and/or UE4 be ideal for that? I'm wondering just what I could accomplish all by myself. Anything I created I would want to share if I thought it was good enough.

This is the same course I started a while back. Very handy for someone like me who's a pure beginner in coding (I know html and css but yeah). I need to get back into it and finish this up.

Which art and graphic design ones did you sign up for?
I'm debating on:
https://www.udemy.com/anatomy-for-figure-drawing-and-comics/
anatomy (the one you posted) and adobe photoshop design. need to get myself back into drawing again.
also signed up for a few programming courses. might as well get into more stuff even if i end up not liking it.

yea, i like these cuz i can do it on my own schedule. i also registered for an actual graphic design online course in a college for Spring 2016. still waiting back for being officially signed up. costs like a grand but whatever, i wanna get outta my current job this year.

If it makes you feel any better, there are some great blender tutorials on YouTube.

Is there a recommended Unity C# one?
While I shouldn't spread out too far, I should probably pick up one or two for UE as well. Are the recommended ones the ones by Ben Tristem, same as Unity?
Edit: I'll just focus on what I have now, and wait for the next time these go on sale.

I was able to purchase the class using Paypal without any problems. Not sure what the issue could be

Just bought these.
How long until the sale expires?... I should have gotten the blender one too.
You have about an hour left.

Well.. then I hope we get another sale like this again.
Edit: Managed to get it. Now it can end.
I got this yesterday and I've been zooming through it, just about finished my block breaker game. Which I'll finish tomorrow.
I'm a total beginner, and had no Unity / C# knowledge at all. It's super user friendly, and I actually feel like I'm learning quite a bit.
Best purchase of 2016 so far.

Not sure how I missed this thread up to now. Very happy I managed to get a couple before the sale ends. Unity and Python. With a sale like this there's an impulse for me to enroll in anything that looks even half interesting, but I know that breadth will only make me lose focus and quit.
Thanks, op.
Thanks, op.
Well couldn't resist and got it. I started a career in computer science but drop it after 2 years because I got bored and wanted to start my own business. Honestly learning at my pace sounds brilliant and for $10 it was hard to argue.
Is there something I should know before starting? I have very basic knowledge in java, visualfox and html, but its been a long time ago I can't recall anything at all.

Is it actually any better than just going through the countless free tutorials out there (many of which are junk, of course), especially if you're already a somewhat proficient coder? I got quite far with Unity using only free resources, among other things making a simple but functional Minecraft clone with endless procedural worlds with different biomes and all.
C# is much like Java, only a bit nicer (IMO), so it should at least feel familiar to you.

I considered buying in a few days ago, but doubt set in and I was worried it'd just go to waste, then hopped back figuring the sale was already over, saw the amount of praise it was getting from some of y'all (I have very little actual programming knowledge so reading that it does a good job despite that was very encouraging) I decided to bite the bullet while I still had a chance...
..I'm either going to make something and learn useful things, or I'll be a classic case of why people like me shouldn't have disposable income.

I am in that same boat buddy haha. At least these are "lifetime access".
Cool! Thanks for the answer.
