8b Partial Shade on a budget

hey y'all i'm down in Georgia zone 8b and my backyard gets about 5-6 hours of direct sunlight (lots of trees in the area). I am on a budget and sod is not an option. I'm needing a warm-season grass that grows from seed. Is zoysia the only option here? I am hesitant to try and grow it from seed after reading a lot of posts about how long it takes.

Are there any other options for a shade tolerant grass from seed?
