Unity Game Tutorial: Galaga 3D

thank you very much for this very interesting long training, hoping for other training on the other hand can you make a summary at the end of each session to make the config example the box collider position can you also make the video in 1080 because 720 p it hurts the eyes and we can't see the text well thank you

Super Fun and very informative tutorial!! Would recomend 10 out 10 times. Gives a general understanding for game logic such as compiling arrays and how to properly execute screen transitions . Particle effect section was very fun. Everything you learn in the course could be used in different ways later on to create different games using the same methods.

I came this course from a more intermediate background because I thought it would answer some pretty specific questions I had about path generation and wave behavior. While it did succeed on that front, I was overall pretty disappointed with the quality. It definitely doesn't teach best practices for writing C# in Unity. The code is a dependency nightmare and the teacher makes simple mistakes consistently. I would only recommend this course if you already know how to program in Unity, otherwise this will teach you things you'll only need to unlearn later on.

I come from a python background, never worked with Unity before The course was awesome, I learned so much There was some comments in earlier reviews overly critical of spelling errors in the videos (which are corrected, in the videos), but I'm learning this course from a human being! the instructor explained everything he did, every line of code, every configuration in the editor. I loved it I'm also glad the source code wasn't provided to be downloaded. all the code, everything, is in the videos, so you have to follow along. Bravo to the instructor on that one! I truly enjoyed the course. actually sad that it came to end. My only critique is that it didn't go into level progression. I wish it had. Obviously I'm going to have to learn more to figure it out Thanks again for the great course, I will soon be joining another!

I was struggling to find a path generator tutorial for vertical shmup games. Until now this is above my expectations

Easy to follow for intermediate coders. Beginners should maybe take a 101 class first in Java, as C# is very similar in syntax. The provided ships are nice, but you can definitely and should definitely build your own, just to put your own special touch on the aesthetic. Enjoy learning how to make a 3D Galaga-esque shooter!

Well done. Not overly polished but a strong and thorough tutorial of a basic remake. Does a great job of leveraging the Unity framework. Source code not included.

As always, OctoMan delivers a great prototype of classic arcade games but always a bit more bare-bones then I'd hope. There are so many courses here on Udemy that promise a nice looking, smooth demo but ultimately the game is rough and looks like garbage and a total disappointment, OctoMan's courses are well taught, the games well coded and the final product always look professional and something you can be proud to have created. Support questions and help, even a year after the course was released, are still answered quickly by OctoMan. I always jump on OctoMan's new releases (though I missed his Pinball one) so the value for these courses is, IMHO, astronomical!

Awesome course! Professor goes through all of the core functions of a good space shooter game, explains everything he does, even uses some drawings to teach better logic and programming concepts and always answers doubts.

Instructor makes same mistake repeatedly? Has no source code or completed working project to fix his mistakes to follow along in video. Making student frustrated is not a good way to teach. Makes typos himself, another issue causing frustration with no working source code or project. There are some bugs he never fixed in his code even. I did end up improving some of this code, but that was not about Unity. I really wanted to give five starts, but I had to be honest.

First the good. The course teaches what it says it will. Some of the algorithms could be explained a bit better, but they work. You will learn how to make a Galaga clone if you take this course. What keeps this course from getting 4 or 5 stars? Mainly some of the coding practices, which do not set a good example for intermediate programmers, the intended audience. For an intermediate level course, I expected the code architecture to be better. An intermediate programmer should start learning to incorporate better organizational practices such as the Single Responsibility Principle. Instead, here functionality is dumped into large classes that try to do way too much, which leads to inconsistencies and tight coupling dependencies, which are further confounded by functionality-packed methods with poor naming. For example, instead of creating a separate health script, health functionality is shoved into two gigantic classes for the player and the enemies. As a result, the TakeDamage() method ends up taking positive numbers in the enemy class while taking negative numbers in the player class. The instructor does this because he wants to allow for the potential for healing pickups, but they are never implemented in the course. In any case, why would you heal by calling a TakeDamage() function? This could have been avoided by having a separate health class that is attached as another component to both the player and enemy prefabs. Methods often do much more than their names suggest, making it difficult to go back and find specific functionality. Variables are often poorly named. There is also a lot of code duplication, which makes it error-prone if you want to modify it. The method for spawning enemies of different types is a perfect example; you're basically retyping the same thing for each type of enemy, which becomes problematic when you want to change something because you have to do change it for each enemy type. The organization also becomes a problem when the instructor wants to turn off enemy particle systems when they are in formation, but because the instructor packed a method with so much functionality, he was likely unable to see a simple solution to retaining the particles while they are traveling back to formation. I would recommend this course for someone who is more at the beginning stages of programming in Unity. Not an absolute beginner, but maybe for your second or third game tutorial.

This course is Not bad. Almost Good. But Not Excellent. For beginners , Not Advanced lecture. Explanation of Bezier curve is Good.

Great course! Could get a bit bumpy but overall the amount of knowledge shared is huge. I would rate it 5 stars if it had more sections like a Ship upgrades system for example or a PowerUps system! wasFun = true;

First couple of Lessons and the course is excellent, nice pace and well explained. Looking forward to the rest of the course.

I got it because i like remaking OLD games like galaxians etc, and was having trouble with enemy waves...this has just come at the right time and it was £15.. TO BE HONEST I WOULDNT PAY ANYMORE for ANY course.
