    @smurfmier1985  Yes, unfortunately you can’t get very far in game development without having knowledge of programming.  That said I am looking at bridging that gap and helping people get into game development without having to dedicate a lot of time to learning programming. 

    Visual Programming will be coming soon and I’ll also be creating some premade scripts that we can use to piece together various games so that those who don’t want to get into the technical details can still build games and focus on the design aspects of a game. I’ve also thought about having another course before the Game Programming Bootcamp that just covers game logic. Discussing the game mechanic “flow” and how to visually see that. Nonetheless programming seems complex at first, then it just clicks and you start to understand how it all comes together, just start small. 

    Regarding animation I’m looking at trying some Unity specific animation tools to animate rigs within Unity, right now it’s mostly just generic animations.  This is mostly to speed up the animation workflow and to also give people an idea of how to quickly iterate through animations or make minor adjustments within game.
