the voice is killing me
El curso esta bien, muy desactualizado en cuanto a herramientas. Una puesta a punto no le vendría mal. Los Scripts que dice en el video no funcionan en las nuevas versiones de Visual Studio. La versión de Unity 6 que usa está muy desactualizada y no puedes seguir el ritmo de la clase. Por lo demás está bien!
Recomendado. El curso está bien estructurado y las explicaciones son claras, ideal para quienes se inician en el desarrollo de videojuegos.
Es un muy buen curso para iniciar con unity, la verdad me ayudó bastante para conocer nuevas áreas de desarrollo.
Excelente curso para principiantes. Tengo conocimientos básicos de programación y aprendí mucho. La desventaja es que el curso está MUY desactualizado; el Unity que se usa es MUY anticuado, lo que dificulta el desarrollo para usuarios con menos experiencia.
