Good class, but I think it can be improved, showing how to create the different parts of the sprites in photoshop, which brushes have been used... in short, how the process of creating the shaders has been for the newbies. Then it would be perfect and I would give it 5 stars. One doubt is that, being the code is the same, the animations play much faster in my computer than how they are shown in the videos of the course, as accelerated. I don't know why. Anyway good course and I would buy it again, I found it very useful.

Very clear presentation. The process goes beyond procedural characters and has given me the information I need to work on my projects. Thank you!

Great course! My only issue is that I found myself wanting more, and so the half star demerit. Really enjoyed the pace and the instructors verbal skills. The course is structured well and the principals are easily understood. Recommended for anyone wanting to raise the bar. I look forward to new content and/or courses from this talented author.

There are improvements that can be made as the course did not meet my expectations. For example, have a single resource package in the course with all assets, since each lesson package just builds on the previous. The video quality was not great on my end, and, even at full screen, the code text was blurry. I expected to have a final product as presented in the intro video—with all the characters walking across the screen with unique speeds and limb movements. I was pretty dissapointed when the author made reference to these in the last 5 minutes of his final video yet did not cover them.

This a great course for anyone using GameMaker Studio 2 to get a better understanding of not only how to make procedural characters, but it also shows you how to animate them with GML code which is a very useful skill to save you time when animating just about anything in GMS 2. It may be short, but it's a good one.

This is quite disjointed. In the second section, there is a lot of jumping back and forth in Photoshop (I assume!), with no explanation. There are bits missing (loading the heads in the second section for example). The course could be improved with some detail about creating the sprites, and someone going through the course content and re editing it. I have just finished this course. And I have to say, the last section shines! The last section really brings the logic together and you can see uses for Gabriel's concepts. The course could really do with someone re editing it as the beginning sections are poor. This would give it 5 stars. However, if you stick with it, it comes together in the end.

Taught me a lot about drawing procedural characters for my game. This course saved me hours of learning something from scratch. Very quick and easy to understand the concepts. Who would've thought it would be so easy to create procedural characters in GameMaker: Studio 2? Great course!
