TOP REVIEWS FROM WORLD DESIGN FOR VIDEO GAMES
Really enjoyed this class. I am a very visual person and this class was much more fun and a bit easier as I could express my ideas visually much more easily than If I had to write everything down.
Great course! A lot of new and useful stuff. I really enjoyed another part of Game Design: Art and Concepts Specialization. Keep up the great work, guys!

More ground to cover and harder assignments but all the more learning bc of that :) Example of how to do the assignment v helpful!
