It pains me to leave a negative review as I was looking forward to the course. However, I think it's worth leaving some constructive feedback. Firstly, the course was held at element games in their main gaming room, which as you imagine is pretty loud and not particularly conducive to hearing what is being said. Also, the class size was probably about 25+ students to one tutor and with barely enough room for all of us to gather round and watch his demonstrations. I think I stood on the other side of a table watching the tutor paint a sword about 4 metres away. Just to be clear, Simon (I think) who ran the course was very professional as well as knowledgeable and did the best he could I just think there was to many of us in an illsuited environment. Edit: Reply to Siege Studios..I think it's necessary to give a response to your reply to my original review.Firstly, fair enough in regards to 23 students as opposed to 25+ plus students that I stated. This was an incorrect estimation on my part. However, I still think this is a pretty sizeable number when considering the fact that people must crowd round to see the demonstrations. You state that standing at the back is entirely within my control. I'm sorry there's only so much space, unless you expect people to climb over one another. Furthermore, it is not true that no one has ever raised concerns over the class size. On the 25th of February of this year another customer made similar criticisms and suggested maybe a camera and projector to aid the demonstrations would help, I agree with this suggestion.Moving on to your point about what venue I book is my decision, to which you are correct, it is and perhaps I should have proceeded with greater due diligence. However, I think it is reasonable that I or anyone else would expect the course to be carried out in a separate room and not in a room full of dozens of people playing table top games to be a reasonable one. Also, I think siege studios is aware of this, as Simon on the day said “we have a private room, but it's too small and too many people book the course”. So I think it's a bit disingenuous to push this back on to me as a customer when this issue is actually something Siege Studios accounted for in the first place.So finishing up, I don't think these issues are outside Siege Studios control and replying with AI laden wall of text and pushing everything back onto me as a paying customer is a bit crap to be honest.Response to James:I apologise for the wall of text comment, that was unnecessary. Look I love what you guys do at Siege, I watch your podcast every week and have periodically signed up for your patreon, which has great content on it. But you as a business you have asked for my feedback, which I have given you. All the best with siege studios.
