Feedback on Official Essential Course: Content Duplication and Value

Hi everyone,

I completed the Official GDevelop Essential Course and wanted to highlight a few technical issues as well as share some feedback on the content.

First, I noticed that some videos are duplicated. For example, the video in Section 4 (Create game logic) is identical to the one in Section 14 (Advanced events). Section 3 (Use Behaviours) is identical to the one in Section 12 (Control Behaviours) This makes the course structure feel a bit messy and repetitive.

Secondly, I was surprised to find that ALL of the content—including the “unlisted” videos—is already available for free on the official GDevelop YouTube channel. Given the price of the course, I expected more exclusive, deep-dive material that wasn’t already public. Having the same videos available in two places (one listed, one unlisted) feels redundant and makes it hard to justify the cost.

I hope this feedback helps in refining the course, as I think official learning paths are a great idea, but the execution here needs a bit more polish.

Sadly, I think he is 100% sure.
According to what I’ve seen in the free version of the courses, it’s the exact same video with a little extra info.

I’m not trying to be “anti-gdevelop” in any way, but I’ve heard from lots of people that the paid courses are not really worth it.
