GBUpdated: Unethical Business Practice Update: Per the reply, they were able to honor the original course price so I am updating the review. I will update the review again after the course. I was in the process of signing up for a course. I had started the approval process at work to get the course approved based on an invoice they gave me that was due March 7th. When I completed the approval process, the rep informed me they had decided not to honor the original invoice date of March 7th and "updated" the invoice to be a higher cost ($600 more). Since when are invoices "updated" when the company decides to charge more? They have an unethical business practice of baiting in customers with a price and then increasing the price at a later time. They still had seats, they just didn't want to offer them at the cost we agreed on. Overall very unhappy with this experience. I highly doubt the quality of this course given the low quality of their bait and switch business practice. I was lured in with one price and then the price switched before I had a chance to settle on the due date of the invoice. It's probably a good thing I didn't waste my annual tuition funds on this course.

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.

GBGame Writing Course with Adrian Ropp Adrian's game writing course was amazing! I went in with no knowledge about the industry, and I wasn't treated less than because of it. I learned so much from Adrian, the guest speakers, and the assignments. Because of the class, I feel confident enough to apply for game writing jobs, which I couldn't say before the class. Adrian's passion for the field shows, and he wants all of the students to succeed. He was professional, knowledgeable, and just fun. The class also introduced me to some wonderful fellow writers, and it was great being surrounded by other creatives. I highly recommend the class to anyone who's thinking of a career transition. You won't regret it!

GBFintech Product Design The course material was excellent and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to move into fintech product design. Our instructor Maya was engaging and provided specialist industry insight you simply won't find in any other course.

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!
