    How are these tutorials overall though. Humble has pushed out some real stinkers before from no-name tutorial mills so I’m always a bit way.

    I know from their blender sales that some of the places they partner with are legitimately shit (low quality recordings, poor sound, poor pacing, not showing screen keys, poor instructor guidance etc)

      On Godot subreddit, some one complained that the pixel art course, which is worth $50(Zenva’s default price) and included in this bundle has a poor quality and it’s obvious that the instructor isn’t an expert in the field.

        Zenva’s instructors are extremely hit and miss.

        Many feel like amateurs who made 1 test project and are now teaching it.

        The phaser tutorial felt like the instructor was a C# developer trying to teach JavaScript.

        The only reason I support them because there’s literally no other paid courses on a bunch of game development subjects that are in one easy to read place.

          I actually started writing a Godot course at my friends urging after I taught it to him over meets, but hated the sound of my voice and only recorded the first lesson. Is this something needed that I could make actual money on?

        Yeah was discussing this with a friend and basically this is exactly why I don’t buy these bundles. They’re often not really at the level of proper martial created by an educational institution, but more collections of stuff that you might otherwise find on YouTube etc

      No idea, but if you want to give it a try, let me know and I’ll give you the keys.
