Zenva Reviews 

Nice slow paced intro to the Unreal engine.

Truly the courses are worth your resources, don't hurt to try.
Me and fellows have learnt what we can from the likes of YT, Mr. Sal aka KhanAcademy, codecamp and many alike.

We tried courses esp. on gaming engines but content (productive/ useful) is less and with clear cut explanation and practical is few and far between.

So, guys Merry XMAS from me & boys to the ZENVA family.

I'm following the Unreal courses. You guys are doing great so far. If I may make a request; keep making beginner friendly courses for different classic game types, just like you've been doing. One huge request; I'd like a course on making a Dead Space-like

I think the courses and the quality of the videos !

I got a bundle of courses from a Humble Bundle, on the topic of introductory courses for Godot, Unity, and Unreal engine.

I just finished the first Godot course in the learning path and am very pleasantly surprised how high quality the videos and platform are, from the instructor's narration, explanations, and thoughtful course planning to the platform's QoL features such as closed captioning and a lesson summary for every video, as well as providing the files the instructor used in the project. There are very short 3-to-4-question quizzes after some of the videos which I don't particularly look forward to but am glad were there to make sure I was getting the right stuff out of the video.

It's like the best parts of learning on YouTube, but without the self-promotion, ads, and other nonsense. The instructor was engaging and easy to listen to, providing valuable insight professionally while maintaining an upbeat and lighthearted atmosphere (even tackling topics of computer science without it becoming tedious or boring or too complex).

I was also impressed they seemed to update the course material when Godot got an update from 4.4 to 4.5.

I watched each video in 1080p and never experienced any buffering delays. I also never experienced technical difficulties with the site, and navigation was easy and intuitive (helped further by the website also giving concise hints to help new users navigate).

Overall a great experience and I can't wait to continue with more courses.

The handful of tutorials that I have had the opportunity to try so far have been clear, fun, and have had spectacular pacing. Many other tutorials have issues with either going too quickly and I get lost, or too slowly and it gets boring. Pacing is A+ for me personally.

Great content!
How to improve - more advanced topics, more quizzes.

The service provided by Zenva is worth every penny I've paid, it has taught me more things and quicker than what I could've done on my own in the same amount of time without it.

I'm actually learning how to code and understanding the process, as well.

In short, I'm really glad that Zenvas' Godot courses exist, since they're one of the few sources that cover Godot programming beyond the "What is a Node, a Scene and a Resource" stage.
I don't think the courses are exceptional, but imo they don't need to be. If you have only a couple of months worth of experience with Godot, they fill in the role of a friend who has maybe one or two years of experience, who brings you up to speed on how to do simple things.
So, definitely a solid basis, if you're just starting out, but I really wish they'd cover advanced topics, like enemy/NPC AI, import systems for more content heavy games, terrain + level design, boss fights, maybe they could even make a whole course on how to do a more complex character/combat system that requires a lot of animations? Just to name a bunch of topics they don't cover.
My other point of criticism is the price point. Just my opinion, for a site this successful, they asking for too much money, for courses that aren't that long. If I didn't get them as a Humble Bundle, I propably wouldn't paid so much money for it.
(Also I don't like that they use Kenney assets for everything, for heavens sake, hire an actual 3D artist/animator with all the money you're raking in :P)

AMAZING COURSE AND TEACHER!
This teacher has a burning passion for teaching; they are very precise and on point. Very soothing voice and great course structure. I am learning a lot and I am very thankful! 5 Stars, Highly recommended!

Excellent learning platform!
The website offers a lot of interesting and well-made courses with different levels!

The classes I've gone through have been great, easy to follow how to guides that can help give your ideas molds to fill.

awsome the lesson was amazing im ganna keep doing it

I like the Godot course, but I’m having a big problem — even though I’ve watched several lessons, I still can’t make a simple game, like a choice-based story game. I want to expand on the projects and remake them in my own way, but the course feels too “planned out” without really explaining why you should do certain things instead of others.

I still can’t remember how to make anything on my own, and I even struggle with something as basic as making a top-down walking system. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

It would really help if there were more lessons on Blender, Godot multiplayer, and pixel art.

Still, I’ll keep trying my best — studying, practicing, and rewatching the courses until it clicks.

Pour peu que vous soyez à l'aise avec l'anglais (ils proposent des sous-titres français cela-dit), il y a de super cursus à suivre sur Zenva. J'apprends à faire des jeux sur Defold en LUA et l'intérêt principal pour moi c'est que je peux reprendre les cours autant de fois que je veux pour que ça rentre définitivement dans ma petite tête de réfractaire (involontaire) au coding !

I've been going through the Unity tutorials (specifically the procedural generation one most recently). I know that their instructors are probably just contracted out, but I wonder if they should vet them or have a higher standard. I'm getting the basics, and learning quite a bit, so I still gave it a 3 star. However, the instructor for these tutorials specifically, I wonder how much he actually understands. He'll give equations for parameters, but not explain why THAT equation. Some lines of code, if you pay attention, will actually CHANGE when he scrolls around, making me wonder if it's AI generated and he's doing small tweaks. The videos aren't "clean" either. He jumps all around the code rather than setting up parameters or functions first, in order to complete a thought. He also frequently makes mistakes, that he goes back and corrects, sometimes in an entirely different video. This last to me is inexcusable as it's a video... you can go back and edit it, or reshoot a small section, so that it's clean and you aren't confusing people.

The coding taught, as well, while I'm FAR from an expert, I have thought of improvements myself. Some of them aren't even done because I wanted a different result, some are what to me, seem like basic sense, such as making a field for a parameter in the Unity inspector rather than hardcoding in a static number, or fixing an error where I was NOT getting the same result he was showing on the screen, with the same code he supposedly was using. I've shared some code with friends who ARE professional software engineers and they seemed in awe at how "bad" the coding style was.

Really tempted to give it a 2 Star, but I know that not every tutor on Zenva is going to be the same, so I do still enjoy the service. The tutorial organization is nice, and there's a large variety that will hopefully help me make the game I'm envisioning. But they definitely need to have a lot higher standard for their instructors' videos.

I love the quality and ease of these courses.
Each lesson is bite-sized enough to follow without getting lost, but keep me progressing steadily.
The audio is clear and crisp.
It's always enjoyable to use Zenva courses.

Well structured, nicely explained, learned alot from this basic GD 4 course now I can move further.
