Very well done actually. A nice way to just jump into using node, express and phaser which I have wanted to do for a while. I'm about 50% completed, I just finished the snake but I definitely feel as if I have learned a lot of valuable information and I'm very happy with the course. It would be awesome if you had a paid course in which you create 20+ simple games using this method. I'd totally buy it! Just signed up to your free react course just now. Thank you very much!

I've been developing games using Unity3D for over 7 years now. I currently have ten games published on the Android app store. My first game I ever wrote, 'Isle Survive', has had over 1 million downloads and an average rating of 4 out of 5. I have also written numerous Unity plugins to enable adding features to mobile games like advertising banners and 'In-App' purchasing.

Account packages, haulage systems, mainframe processors, websites... I've done all sorts of programming but now I try to write games and it is so much more fun!

I still remember how excited I was, getting my ZX81 and writing my first few lines of BASIC. Yes I'm that old...

I love how the barrier of entry to game development has been lowered these past few years. I'm sure this has a lot to do with the current indie game explosion and I'm very excited for the future.
