Where's the Game Development Track?

Where did the Game Development track go? I remember browsing through the tracks and seeing a track which included the the "How to make a video game" and "C# Basics" courses.

I seem to recall that as well. You could also try asking the Support staff.

Update: The entire Game Development track was retired on July 31, 2018.
For details see this Blog post.

Hey everyone,

The Game Development and VR tracks should appear on the Tracks page again. Sorry for the confusion!

Update: Disregard these, they are all retired. (See Rob's note)

Two of the missing six have reappeared now. Still missing are:
ASP.NET Web Development
iOS Development with Objective-C
iOS Development with Swift 2.0
Starting a Business

Also "Business" does not appear in the topics drop-down list.

I thought this bug had been reintroduced. Then I realized they retired the game track :(.

So it still exists. OK, so why doesn't it show up on the Tracks page?
And "Game Development" isn't in the "topics" drop-down on that page, either.

Now I wonder if there's other tracks that also don't appear on that page!

That's strange... you don't see it on the Tracks Page? That's where I got the link from. On my screen its the 3rd one from last. There's "Learn Django" then the "Beginner Game Development..." then "Intermediate C#" and last is "Intermediate Android".
It also does show up for me in the Topics pulldown. In there it's the very last one, right after "Digital Literacy"

Very weird :confused:

For me, "Learn Django", "Intermediate C#" and "Intermediate Android" are the last 3 tracks shown. And "Digital Literacy" is that last item in the Topics pulldown.

Bizarre!

How about you, V G ?

That is strange. I have no answer, but I did send a ?? to Support.

FYI, not including the 3 "Most popular" at the top, I see 40 Tracks listed.

My page shows 34 tracks .. I guess I'm missing that one and 5 more.

Reserved for moderators? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Thanks guys for the help, but I have the same situation as Steven. Yet, I click the link and it sends me to the track. I wonder why this is happening?

I only see 34 tracks listed. What's your situation Steven?

The same. I also can't see Jason's emoji.

Try this: I can see all 40 tracks if I go to the tracks page when I am not logged in. You can then pick one and log in once you're on the course page.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

While we do have a Pro exclusive track (maybe 2), as far as I can tell, the Game Development Track has no Pro exclusive content and should be visible from the tracks page. It appears that Pro and Techdegree students can see all items listed, and the bug is affecting Basic.

We've filed a ticket with our developers and get this resolved. Thanks for everyone's patience.

Thanks, Steven. Looks like you're on a Library plan, which has access to Pro benefits. I'll double check into that as well.

Steven Parker Those 4 are all retired tracks. Our devs are working to understand why they are showing up on the Tracks page pre-login as well as why they are showing up on some legacy plans.

No problem then. I would not have even noticed if I had not been helping with the missing Game Dev track.
