Lots 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.

Updated: 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.

I was not prepared for how… I was not prepared for how professional, how supportive and genuine my instructors Adam and Alex would be for my game narrative course (Sabina you are our biggest cheerleader too and we all thank you for that.) I never would've guessed this class was as new as it was for how informative, helpful and resourceful it was. ELVTR makes sure you not only feel safe to learn to create, but pushes you with a community driven approach that felt it worked better than a lot of college courses I've taken.

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.

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!
