Before the humble bundle came out, I bought the GameDev.tv "complete" Godot course - I had a good early bird discount since I've used them for Unity.

Over the past few years, I have completed the 2D, 3D, and several of the RPG intermediate courses for unity as well as a Blender course so was super excited for this new one!

And then was super disappointed.

I start with the 2D course every time and this one was...hollow. Super empty. Maybe a quarter of the content as the Unity course with a lot of basic things missing and some really bad practice promoted. I did the whole course on 1.25x speed and still had to skip through a lot of waffle.

I'm now doing courses for free on Youtube and have learnt far, far more.

It really is a shame as I'm a fan of GameDev.tv, but they really missed the mark with the Godot offering.

The unity courses got revamped about 2 years back and I really enjoyed them and made some pretty fun and cool games!

100% agree the pricing is clearly a marketing scam, especially when they have a humble bundle every month.
