…Thanks to Amazon Local!
I signed up for Amazon Local a few years back (and for those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s kind of like Groupon), and boy – it really did not disappoint!
I woke up one morning to an email saying “Access to Online Game Design Training for One Year” offered by the School of Interactive Design. As an editor looking to acquire as many skills in the gaming field as I can, I hopped on the deal right away. The good news for those of you who will need a little bit to recover from Christmas shopping is that this deal will be available for about another month (26 days from this date, actually).
Here’s what you need to know about everything this will include:
- One year’s worth of access to easy to understand tutorials on Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, Maya, Unity, and Game Salad.
- On the voucher when you pay for the deal, it will say that you will not need to make any further purchases and that all software will be included an free. No, this does not include Photoshop and Illustrator. It includes Game Salad, Maya, and Unity. The videos will show you how and where to download these softwares from.
- The voucher also says that buying this deal doesn’t register you for classes, and that you need to do this by April 18th, 2014. I called and inquired, and SoID (School of Interactive Design) said that Amazon won’t remove this verbiage and to disregard it.
- This is not an online college where you have class times and homework. This is a laidback, go-at-your-own-pace type of thing. Makes it really convenient for most of us whose lives are hectic like mine.
My advice to anyone is to treat this like school. Practice, practice, practice. And take notes, because in a few years from now, you may forget how to use these programs.
How much will this run you, exactly? It will only cost you $99. Seriously? Yes, seriously.

Hi I wanted to reach out and thank you for writing a review about my school a while ago. I just came across your post today. 🙂
Great write up! Did you ever have a chance to go through our training? If you haven’t seen the site recently you should have a look, we have updated it with a ton of new content.
Are you still writing/blogging? I would love to invite you to be a guest writer on our blog at the school! I really dig the topics you choose. And your style of writing is fun to read.
Also I would love to give you a life time membership to the site so you could keep writing reviews about us whenever you feel like.
Feel free to contact me directly if you are interested and I can set you up with that free account.
Best,
