Game Production 9 with Andy Johnson
It took me a minute, waddling in after my friend Natalya Karabelska, but I got there. ^_^
Whether you are a seasoned producer or someone brand new looking better to understand project management and production for the game industry, I could not more strongly recommend Andy Johnson’s Game Production courses on Maven.
He not only brings a strong command of the teaching materials but what made the difference for me (and this was crucial in my decision to sign up) is that Andy has seen it all over the course of his career.
From THQ, King, Stoic, and now over at SHRAPNEL as EP, Andy has had unquestionable real-world experience tackling complex issues related to project management for game production and brought that with him to this course.
I entered his Game Production 9 course with two years of production experience from Digimancy Entertainment. Still, I learned valuable lessons and tools that made me a better producer for my fellow developers. He was always ready and available to answer any questions we may have had weeks and even months after the course wrapped.
I appreciate the fireside chats he arranged with experienced game developers like Josh Ayala, CEO at Perfect Day Games, and Dan McAuliffe, studio head for Bungie.
Finally, another huge plus was connecting with the rest of the students in his course. I met some bright people and walked away with an expanded professional network and some good friends.
