This is not like any other game development course out there—and that's a good thing. I'm not just learning how to make a game. I'm learning how to get out of my comfort zone and build a viable game studio from the ground up.[..] The community alone is worth the cost. The icing on the cake is that it's run by someone who has been in the trenches and knows what it takes to make and sell games. And he's right there in the community chatting and answering questions alongside everyone else. No one else does this, but Thomas does.

“I've been dabbling in learning how to create my first indie game for a little over a year now. I compiled YouTube videos from various developers and artists to try and put a game together like Frankenstein. Then, through the magic of YouTube's algorithm I found Thomas Brush and started to follow his work. Shortly thereafter I learned about Full Time Game Dev and didn't hesitate to buy. I felt this was what I had been searching for. It was an all encompassing course that taught marketing, outreach, artwork, and yes even game development! This course is delivering above and beyond and I'm extremely motivated and excited to release my first game as soon as I can!”

“Thomas Brush has put together the most comprehensive course on game development I have ever encountered! It doesn’t matter whether you have no experience using Unity or if you already have a finished game and are looking to make a career out of it, this class has everything you need. You won’t regret this purchase. Thank you Mr. Brush!”

"[…] I got a totally comprehensive, easily understandable bundle of knowledge that is guiding me expertly through creating my first game. One thing this course has already achieved that I don't see often in online classes is that it's giving me CONFIDENCE. I feel confident that I can ideate and create a good game using this course, and that confidence is a big part of the motivation I need to keep working on it. Though I haven't completed the course (I'm at the 20% mark, currently), I have already learned AND achieved a ton towards my ultimate goal of creating a game, and so far am having a lot of fun doing it. What a great course!"

"It's rare to find someone with an exceptional skillset who can teach others what they know with care and understanding, remembering what it was like to start from the very beginning of a daunting journey such as game development.
Thomas Brush has proven himself capable of doing just that with this course. He'll give you the knowledge to get your indie game studio and project the social presence necessary to survive the over-saturated game development market while also pushing you to think more deeply about your ‘why’ to stay inspired and motivated throughout the journey. These preparations will propel you forward, going beyond the typical Game Design Document to keep you focused on your goals and visualizing the outcome you desire from your games.
Last but certainly not least, you'll gain access to a wonderful community of people collaborating and learning together, which is worth the price of the course alone. Out of all the other communities, I spend most of my time with FTGD. It's that good."

The wisdom Thomas has put into this course might seem a bit edgy, yet it's simple and straightforward. Most importantly, it's proven to work. Here you won't find your typical C# hello world tutorial; it's a bit more intimate: Imagine if you're having a cup of coffee or tea with a friend by a fire, discussing ideas and strategies, workflows and methodologies, visions and dreams. Thomas goes way above and beyond to encourage and empower you to get out there and make a great game starting day one.

"I am an artist by trade, however, when it comes to everything else in game development ‘I am an idiot!’. I appreciate having Thomas really help guide me through this and not just dash around and show off how fast he can do things (like I run into with so many other tutorials online). Everything here is not just easy to follow, but has a high quality of polish too. Im addicted to these courses and I'm having fun going through them. I highly recommend Full Time Game Dev.”

“I've only completed 11% of the course so far and already feel I got my money's worth. The amount of knowledge and tools shared is incredible and the community is very friendly and supportive. Anyone who is serious about making a living off selling premium indie games NEEDS to get this course! I just wish it was made sooner…”

If you've seen any of Thomas Brush's YouTube videos, you already know how infectious his passion for game development is. […] Three days in, I have a game page on Steam, a website for my studio, all the social media built from the ground up, and the branding that seamlessly works on every level. Best of all, I did all of that, and it was so easy with the right guidance and motivation that Thomas offers.

“One of the best things about this course is the AMAZING!!! discord server!! We have lots of great moments: sharing laughs, sharing our projects, screenshots. We talk about our life and how is everyone feeling, I mean It’s absolutely great community! I already made new friends (I want to be friends with everyone there) and we have shared our social media accounts and etc.
It's been amazing for me, Thomas teaches you step by step indie game development. This course is like an investment, I can learn from it through my whole life! I've been through some hard times (mentally) for couple years, and this course has been one of my light spots everyday, and i'm not joking! Sadly I need to sleep once a day xD but this course is WORTH IT! It made my day when i got it!”

“Thomas makes all this seems very easy (or easier than it really is); from coding to making your own illustrations and even starting your first Kickstarter campaign. […] Thomas manages to make it so easy to understand that gives me hope to make my own art and inspires to start hands on to make your dream game come true.”

“This course is currently teaching me how to make a Unity game, but much more importantly, it's teaching me every facet of selling my game. From incorporating my business, designing my logo, and exactly how/why to effectively pre-market my game through social media channels. I found tons of in-depth content that really opened my eyes to the importance of accruing a social media presence and considering publishers, as well as how to market and crowdfund my game! The community of fellow FullTimeGameDevs all share the same goal of selling a game, so we help each other out, providing a diverse network of like-minded people!”
Eduardo Dominguezv / @EdomGames
“What separates this course from the rest is the extensive step by step on marketing, fundraising and selling your game. The majority of the courses online only teach you how to make a game. But what do you do with a finished product? Thomas helps you take the step from making games as a hobby, to making games as a full time career. The price point feels high at first, but if you consider the cost of a single college course (usually more than $2,000) you'll soon realize what you're investing in is in fact worth it.”
Jack Parker (O-BombGames) / @ObombG
“FTGD has been amazing! Very informative and also very in depth. Thomas Brush's YouTube videos were always helpful, but this course tackles so many aspects in such a comprehensive and easy to follow course. I applaud Thomas Brush for an outstanding job! 10/10 in my book!”
Shai Milstein / @shaimilstein
“Full Time Game Dev is an incredible and immersive course filled with unique marketing content and years of knowledge by an area expert. If there’s a path for starting making games, this is the one.”
What about you?
Being a game developer doesn’t require you to be a genius. It simply requires you to be willing to look to others for help, and dip your toes into the wild world of indie game development! You’ve got this!
