I dabbled with game design once. ONCE. It was years ago, and my masterpiece was more a screensaver than anything. From that day I swore that I would only play, not create, for the good of humankind! If you on the other hand enjoy making games that actually work, you might be interested in this bundle.
Joystiq have put together a whole lot of neat lectures and courses into one package. Similarly to your ordinary humble bundle, you can pay whatever you want for the first tier of unlocks. Pay above average though, and you get a whole lot more. Individually, these would all cost around $800!
We’ve partnered with four of the web’s finest e-instructors to bring you The NYOP Game Design Bundle! You pay what you want for 4 top notch game development/design courses, and if you pay more than the average price, you’ll receive all 4 courses!
Here’s what you would get with the Unity 3D tool for example:
- 105 lectures with 19+ hours of content
- Learn about the Unity UI
- Understand how to structure Unity projects
- Get a grip on basic, intermediate & advanced Unity scripting
- Learn how to compile games to console + mobile devices
- Get experience with level and sound design
- Receive a Certificate of Completion
At time of writing, the average price is $6.29. That’s dirt cheap for a whole lot of intellectual material that should help your game development skills. 10% of the purchases will also go to various charities.
Who knows, with enough practice, you too could join our local legends some day. Are you a game developer? Are you happy to see a bundle of this nature?

That’s pretty cool. Hope stuff like this comes around more often, for a variety of topics.

Hmmmm, maybe I can make a FTL mod where the boarding or away mission sections become a whole new aspect of the game?
Anyone want to support my kickstarter?
ANYONE?

I would pay to kick you in the starter. Does that count? 😛

Indeed, but can you afford medical bills for when your foot breaks?
😛
Jokes aside, I would love it if Mass Effect had space combat like in FTL and then you board them and the combat is then ala Mass Effect

Got it yesterday, only to find some of the stuff I already have and other stuff is somewhat dated though.

This is nice if you can also afford a Unity 3D license.

October 23, 2014 at 11:05
Unity is free.

Unity Pro isn’t, I wonder if the training material in focused on the free version…
Gerhard Davids
October 23, 2014 at 12:13
It’s not but it’s also not required in general and not for the course.
Pro has mostly GFX enhancements and some QoL stuff.
According to the course :
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
Free version of Unity 3D
Free version of Blender

I’d love one on just pure design. My software license ended yesterday, so I started browsing for a copy again. And holy shit I don’t have $499 to spend… no. Never. Nuh uh.
