This is a heads up for people who want to break into development. Udemy is having a learn fest sale, with most courses only costing 10 USD. You can get courses on Blender, GameMaker Studio, Unity, and Unreal Engine 4. I recommend the tuts from Benjamin Anderson for GameMaker, and Ben Tristem for both UE4 and Unity. Both instructors go into detail, and you can learn properly even if you are a beginner. However, I'd recommend a quick study into the basics of code structure first.
The sale ends on the 26th of May. Good luck.

I had to look at your post history for a moment to make sure you weren't a spam bot, but you seem sentient .
Sounds interesting though.

Re: PSA: Udemy(Online classes) is having a sale
Interesting find!
Its pretty much peanuts compared to what you are getting in return really
From the description, id recommend the basics of unity one by ben tristem since he apparently not just tells you what to do but also does things wrong so you really
get the understand what you are doing and arent blindly copying w/e hes doing.
Thats a key thing to have if you want to make something on your own afterwards
But other then that theres plenty of interesting looking stuff on there

Whoah, do they really go for the prices that they have crossed out on the sale advertisement normally?

short answer is yes, long answer is not really.
classes like this tend to be done more by people in some schooling of some sort and sights like this offer discounts depending on a lot of things. the average price for something like this would be around 50 dollars. but yes their are people that pay 2-300 dollars for classes like this and this is by the looks of things some of the "lower end" classes nothing to advanced.
these look to teach but not show you how to expand on the teachings. though as pointed out any one that says problem solving in it tends to be of a higher quality.
That said their are plenty of free ways to learn, but a paid way actually gives you more of a reason to retain as you have an investment in it.

From what I've read online, this sale happens for once or twice a year. Otherwise, yup. $200 down the drain, for something you might not even like doing. $10? Much better return on investment if you excel.

Yup, that's the one I'm going through. I think I may have a text based vore game on the way soon. (Only been coding for a couple days, not very far in the course)

Not a bot, just a lurker who thought this would be useful for others to know
