Description

In the course, we go through a set of lectures covering all areas of game production, complete with exercises you can try, and at the end, we take what we’ve learned and run through an example project, which can act as a proxy for your own game.

You get lifetime access to this course for one fee, and the instructor is an experienced games industry producer who’s worked on some of the biggest games ever released (like GTA V & Cyberpunk 2077) and wants to share the knowledge they’ve gained so you can make your projects in a safer, less risky way.

What this course ISN’T:

We discuss the skills of a video game producer and all the essential knowledge required to PLAN your project effectively, this course is not focused on BUILDING a game (check Udemy for other awesome courses on how to use Unity or Unreal to build a game!)

New video game producers
Anyone who’d like to get into the industry as a producer
Gamers who want to see behind the curtain a little
