very exciting

A very interesting course. I used to teach computer game design at College, but only the graphic side, not audio, using a now defunct 3D program called Softimage. This course is enlightening. Very well presented and concisely delivered. If you are looking to produce audio for games, (and even, like myself, if you are not), this will likely be very interesting for you to watch. Usual standard of Groove 3 excellence. Keep up the great work!

Always wondered about the workflow to prepare audio for a game, now I know ;-) . The pace and examples in the course are very good.

Although I have read books about game audio/music and seen endless YouTube videos on the subject - this course is well paced with Gary's gentle approach makes learning easy and pleasant. I was originally hoping for more about sound design, but in hindsight, that would have acted more as a distraction. Great course!
