oh, right. i see now.

so i think in that case it isn’t a good way to go about it, because it implies you’d want to use it for a new course they may post after the jam. If you’d just be stuck on choosing, it’s one thing, but keeping the option for a free course because you didn’t find what you liked in available courses, is a different thing.

You have ~ a week of voting time before there’s a need to choose, so maybe ask around advice on what courses people would suggest. When I choose, I look up if it’s advanced or beginner course, how many hours it is, who is the mentor & if the topic is something I can easily find elsewhere in a similar format or not.

For example I am Unreal Engine only developer, so I only choose from Unreal courses. A course like Unreal FPS is a totally pointless choice to me, because making a FPS game is the most common tutorial for gamedev for any 3D engine on youtube. And stuff like Blender 3D is also a no for me, youtube is full of very advanced and reputable tutorials on Blender by known creators, no need for any paid resource on this program, unless highly advanced technique.

Based on last jams, the courses available for choosing are everything that isn’t an asset or a bundle pack.
