I signed up for Complete Unity 2D Developer and am looking forward to starting. I'm curious what courses others have picked.
From what I understand the game engine got dropped in favor if focusing their energy on what Blender was meant to do - be a 3D art program. However, Godot 4 has native Blender support so you can load the .blend files directly. Thankfully since Blender is open source and the community is completely unhinged most of the time (in all the best ways mind you), there is a fork of Blender that is all about the game engine you can check it out here: https://upbge.org/
As far as the GameDev.tv Blender courses go however, Grant is an amazing instructor so I'm sure anyone who picks up his Blender courses will love it. He also has his own youtube channel with a ton of beginner friendly tutorials, specific guides, and general skill improvement challenges so definitely would be worth looking into if you are new to Blender and want some extra material to learn from :)
Same here, went for the "anime" blender course specifically (planning to create 3D games in the future so this may be a great foundation for creating my game characters)
I was considering getting the Gimp course as a good way to learn pixel art and the Gimp software at once - but apparently they yanked it from the site during the migration or something. Oddly in the side bar when browsing courses one of the filters is Gimp... Oh well. I'm sure there is plenty on YouTube for it.
As such, I'll likely get the "Pixel Art Environments: Design & Animate 2D Environments From Scratch!" as that and the Pixel 2D Character courses are the only ones I don't have which interest me atm (except maybe the Git one, but Git isn't very hard to learn from Youtube tbh).
Now I just need to focus on actually going through the various courses I already have (Yay for HumbleBundles)
There are 3 courses for pixel art. Environment art, character design and animation and a very basic introduction. Imo you should learn pixel art from yt . You can even find playlists for pixel art. I'm learning it from yt. I've chosen mastering game feel course as there are not videos related to the topic on yt though there are short insights. Imo You should choose a course that is not available on yt . You have options it's all yours.
I chose Pixel Art Characters: Design & Animate a 2D Character. I haven't started it yet so I don't have any feedback on it, but I just wanted to let you know that the courses are also all on Udemy and people leave reviews on them over there so it may be worth taking a look at those if you don't get many responses on here (that's how I decided on which course I wanted).
