Our review
based on the reviews you've provided, here's a summary of what students generally think about the Construct 2 Game Development Course by John Bura:
**Pros:**
- **Comprehensive**: The course covers a wide range of topics and teaches a variety of game mechanics.
- **Practical**: With 60 games to build, there's a strong emphasis on practical application which is great for hands-on learning.
- **Incremental Learning**: The course starts with basic concepts and gradually builds up complexity, allowing learners to develop their skills progressively.
- **Engaging Teaching Style**: John Bura is often praised for his clear and engaging teaching style, making complex topics easier to understand.
- **Challenges**: Extra challenges at the end of lessons encourage learners to explore and expand upon the basics.
- **Accomplishment**: The course design seems to instill a sense of accomplishment as learners progress and create games from scratch.
- **Professional**: The course is considered highly professional, with a focus on mobile game development.
**Cons:**
- **Pace**: Some students feel the instructor moves too fast, which can be challenging for beginners or those who need more time to digest the content.
- **Lack of Mac Support**: There are complaints about the lack of mention that Construct 2 does not support Mac, which could be misleading for potential learners using Apple hardware.
- **Length**: Some students feel the course could be shorter if it were more concise, especially after reiterating certain concepts multiple times.
- **Assumptions**: There's an expectation that a paid version of Photoshop is necessary, which wasn't mentioned as a prerequisite.
Overall, the course is highly regarded for its comprehensive approach to teaching Construct 2 game development. It's particularly well-suited for those interested in mobile game development and offers a lot of practical experience through its extensive collection of game examples. However, some students find areas where the course could be improved, such as pacing, clarity on software requirements, and potential conciseness in lesson content. Despite these criticisms, most students seem to agree that it's an excellent course for learning game development with Construct 2.
