Excellent course.Fran is such a good teacher. He addressed all my previous concerns regarding game design and explained the fundamental features in easy to approach and direct ways.

A very basic course to start off the game design career. Great if you want to start right from the ground stage and make your way up! Complex concepts broken down and put ever so simply! Try it out!

The lecturer rambles, sometimes almost incoherently. He conveys simple concepts over the course of several videos which could be conveyed elegantly and concisely in a few paragraphs. He’s either reaching or he just hadn’t truly prepared for his lectures in advance. Getting through his lectures is painful. This is CalArts. I expected a much higher caliber of teaching.

Primitive and useless
