GBI completed the UX/UI Design for Gaming… I completed the UX/UI Design for Gaming for gaming course at ELVTR. It was a great opportunity to work directly with Ivy, she has a lot knowledge on the industry and on the UX/UI practices. Ivy did an amazing job explaining the concepts, and the team provided constructive feedback on each assignment to further improve my skills. Overall a great experience, I would recommend the course to anyone interested in starting out on the UX/UI Design for gaming industry, like myself. There is a lot of information to be learned and the course provides just that! More so, learning from someone who works in the industry gives you a great insight on how everything works.

GBAn incredible 6-week course on Game Writing You'd be surprised in what you can learn in 6 weeks from an instructor's lessons as well as class assignments in which feedback is given. I recently took the Game Writing Course with Adam Dolin where we covered and honed in on topics relevant to game writing in the industry. The course is well-paced and the resources given are quite plentiful both during the lesson and on the slides. The assignments were challenging if you were new to a particular concept (ie screenwriting) but not only was there value in the exercise, there was great value in getting feedback from professionals. (Shoutout to the incredible writer & TA for this class Alex Blum who was both encouraging and constructive in his feedback!) Also, while getting a 1:1 chance to meet with an instructor was incredbile, it was such a hard choice to pick and I know that plenty of students wished to meet with both Adam and Alex! One last thing, depending on your classmates' schedules and openness, this class will unlock an incredible community of writers that are open to collaboration, feedback, and workshopping/brainstorming together! Overall, this course was incredible and if there was a more advanced or even more focused class on game writing (character building or worldbuilding as a topic etc.), I would sign up in a heartbeat!

GBNot to be dramatic, but this class changed my life It was such an amazing experience taking the Game Writing course with Adam Dolin. I want to also give a shout out to Sabina, Alex Blum, and all my peers who have helped make this such an amazing community. I learned so much from this course, and it has helped inspire me to pursue goals that I figured would never even be possible for me. I could go on and on and on while getting increasingly more sappy, so I’ll just say: thanks for everything.

GBEveryone at the course is not only… Everyone at the course is not only really responsive but very fun to talk to. It made the space feel very open and for the first time in a long time I was comfortable sharing a lot of ideas. If there was a possibility of an advanced game writing course being added in the future, I would without hesitation apply for it.

GBLots of patience and kindness I've struggled with class environments my whole life. I've never felt so comfortable. Sabina of the staff is incredibly kind, understanding, and very human. Adam was a fantastic person to learn from and ask questions of. He was honest, and he had no problem rephrasing his answers when needed. I struggled outside of class due to personal family concerns, and the accommodations I was given made such a huge difference. I thought I needed to drop out and give up, but I've been given the time needed to pick myself up and prove I deserve the chance offered to me. I don't know if any other words can express the gratitude I have for this opportunity and for the help I received. And now, I feel like I've also been able to make friends, hopefully for the long term, in this class, who also helped me out so much. I genuinely hope other people get to experience what I did.
