Next, "Create a Micro Turn-Based RPG" will help you master the fundamentals of turn-based battle systems used in 2D RPGs. Finally, you'll learn about 3D RPG mechanics in "3D Micro-Project: Point & Click RPG."
All of the courses are presented by Zenva Academy, a leading platform in the e-learning marketplace. Over half the courses have perfect 5-star ratings from former students, and all the others are 4.9 out of 5 stars, so you're learning from the best.
