UX/UI for Gaming - 7 Week Course I joined a UX/UI course for gaming that was led by Ivy Sang. I went into it with very basic visual design knowledge, a website development background, and a big passion for video games. My goal taking this course was to gain the confidence to be able to switch careers. This course definitely met my expectations, I really enjoyed it and thought every class was informative, well laid out and very insightful. I feel like I learned a lot and am even feeling confident enough to tackle self-paced courses to hone my skills even further, now. Our program manager, Lynn Thompson, was super helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. The course felt seamless, clear and enjoyable.

This is by far the best training I have… This is by far the best training I have completed in 30 years. Perfectly paced. Super informative and lots of relevant information and examples to bring real life into it. With lessons to apply throughout and graded assignments, it was worth the investment. Albert is a superb educator and Monique provided amazing support through the course. The ability to catch up is invaluable 10/10

An 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!

Game Writing with Adrian Ropp Easily one of the best classes I’ve ever taken. Adrian and his TAs were amazing. The real-world insights knowledge gained were well worth meeting twice a week. I loved the assignments and the lectures… the special guests were 🤌🏿🤌🏿🤌🏿 outstanding. Our ELVTR class manager, Lynn, was attentive and helpful. Would definitely take another class by ELVTR, especially if Adrian was teaching it.

Everyone 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.
