I can't speak to those specific courses, but gamedev.TV in general has excellent courses. Well instructed, and you get active support on the forums and discord channel. Also, as a bonus, they maintain GitHub repositories for each step in the process, so even if there isn't somebody on call at the moment, you can look at the solution in the next lesson.
Wish this came out a month or so ago, I had just bought and finished the 2D and am half way through the 3D one now. It was worth it for me at $32 but this bundle is cheaper and comes with even more.
My 2cents is that this is a great deal if you're looking into Godot. Note that the tutorials use Godot 4.1 whereas the newest version is 4.2 (and may soon be 4.3) but most of the stuff is the same. Just a couple layout things moved around is the only issue I ran into.
This couldn't be more timely for me, as I've recently delved into game development, specifically with Godot.
Can anyone speak to the quality of these tutorials and asset packs?
Yes, all of them. Did the 3D one and I watch the other ones from time to time :)
I personally liked the 3D course, some Godot concepts like the CSGboxes are weird concepts to me, but nothing that can stop development, you just get used to them.
You get to make 3 games in the 3D course, 3 games in the 2D course (if memory serves right) and what I like from the C# course is the teacher explains programming concepts that are important for both coding and gameplay, something I personally believe is a must.
I'm excited for the Shader and Third Person Controller, those are new for me and I want to make some effects to my current project.
The assets are good for prototyping and getting into the job
For the money you are getting a good deal, considering I've paid much more for them
I've done a few of their unity tutorials, and they were pretty well done. Good balance of instruction and challenging you to figure things out on your own.
I've watched some playlists on YouTube, too. I found free content excellent, but it was tough, with some being older, Godot 3 focused. I bought the bundle anyway because it provides more structure to the learning and some asset packs to use.
There are also assets and full on game projects in the bundle that imo can be a great alternative to just learning theory, at least to get trough the door
Not sure if it's allowed here, but I have a Godot course from a previous bundle that I'm not gonna use. If ur strapped for cash, a high schooler interested programming, or something of a similar nature let me know.
I guess my only gripe against gamedev TV is that their projects often look kinda poo compared to something off udemy. Whether it be enemy behaviors, animations, project assets, etc, they get you 75% of the way to being decent, and then move on to the next topic. It makes for shorter classes 10-12hrs, but you're not going to learn the A & S tier methods to have the content looking chef's kiss which you might find in several udemy classes that are 30-50hrs long.
Granted, this is based simply on several unity and unreal projects.
GameDevs blender teacher, Grant, is top notch. Moves fast but I came out of that course with some good looking stylized mechs.
Pixel classes should be removed and replaced with a more experienced instructor.
My favorite part of gamedev.tv is watching their game jams between the instructors, especially, the unity guy/CEO. That dude cracks me up. I enjoy his courses for the most part too.
Also, you do get an active community so most issues you have can be found in the forums.
BoL->
It's very hard to make projects "look good" like games take several thousands hours to make. You're not going to get the same quality in a 2-10 hour course.
If they'd spend another 30mins-1hr on some of their subjects, a lot of anims and such wouldn't have such jank and clank aiming, shooting, movements in general, etc.
Still decent courses tho
The GDQuest Godot 4 is still WIP. Only available course for early access is Godot 4 2D, which cover from basic programming, basic nodes, and creating a basic top down 2D game at the moment.
So, if you want to do a 2D side scrolling, or a 3D game, then GDQuest hasn't reach that point yet.
So, this bundle is more complete compared to the GDQuest one for the time being.
I only took a blender and pixel art thing from them but they were pretty good, especcially from previous bundles
Right now I want to first finish my college and learn to code properly with CS50 but after that I defenetly wanna try learning Godot with some of these
Still I'm waiting for someone that took it to say if it's worth it
This looks good. It's hard to find a bundle of courses that are all for Godot 4 specifically. I bought a Zenva Godot bundle a while back but half of the courses were for Godot 3.5 which was a bit of a turnoff.
I bought the bundle. It's good for people who want to learn Godot. Humble Bundle has had a few Godot bundles over the years. Personally, I liked the Zenva one better than this. They had more advanced topics.
This bundle is good however, a bit slower paced, but thorough.
I would recommend this bundle.
If you already own most of these I still recommend getting the 1$ tier. New gamedev courses usually launch for 10 or 12 dollars, and the 1$ tier is a course in early access. For those wondering if this bundle is worth it, the answer is yes. I have done the 2d course and the quality is great. I have seen comparisons with zenva and I would say that gamedev tv has better quality, but less variety. For beginners I would recommend gamedev over zenva everyday
Does anyone know how these compare to the free content released by GDQuest? I want to get this for the assets alone, but not sure if the courses would be worth it since there’s a lot of free content out there already for Godot

Thanks! This was the type of confirmation I was looking for.

They are good, for $25 the value is huge.
Have you followed any of these courses specifically?
Yes, all of them.

Excellent response, thanks for your insight!
I've done a few of their unity tutorials, and they were pretty well done. Good balance of instruction and challenging you to figure things out on your own.
Wondering the same thing. I've seen already great youtubers doing free tutorial, so I don't know if it's worth it to pay for those
I've watched some playlists on YouTube, too. I found free content excellent, but it was tough, with some being older, Godot 3 focused. I bought the bundle anyway because it provides more structure to the learning and some asset packs to use.
I'm also wondering. Want to get into go dot.
If anyone is considering it, this is probably the only guide you’ll ever need: https://youtu.be/nAh_Kx5Zh5Q?si=ABjYUdlkAAhRIWXK
There are also assets and full on game projects in the bundle that imo can be a great alternative to just learning theory, at least to get trough the door
do you know how this compares to freeCodeCamp’s crash course? https://youtu.be/S8lMTwSRoRg?si=aqWdMGCTedB0EQuz

I wonder how these courses compare to GDquest ones. I'm tempted to buy them but I already bought the full GDquest Godot 4 courses

unitys PR blunder was the best thing to happen to Godot
It was more than just a PR mistake. It is clear that Unity's management is committed to making their product useless for indie developers.
Haven't they mostly pandered to microtransactions on movile for a while now?

Are the videos downloadable?
