Online Instruction for Game Developers
Billy McDaniel teaches game development online through Udemy. His courses focus on practical, hands-on workflows for building games and building the skills needed to support long term creativity as an independent developer.
His teaching background goes back to the 1990s, starting with one-on-one guitar lessons. That experience shaped the way he teaches today: meet the student where they are, explain things clearly, and build confidence through real practice.
The move into Udemy started out of frustration. Billy was looking for Blender training that was specifically aimed at game developers, and it was surprisingly hard to find at the time. So after acquiring the necessary skills for himself, he created the course he wished existed, and it became one of his most popular offerings.
