Discover Godot!
The amazing free and open source game engine you’ve been waiting for is a joy to use. In this course we’ll take you from an absolute beginner with no experience in coding at all to someone able to make 2D and 3D games in this lovely little engine.
As a student in this course, you’ll go through a series of five projects, each bigger, more awesome and more feature rich than the last.
-
Loony Lips – a simple word game that will teach you the basics of coding and of Godot
-
Hoppy Days – a delightful 2D platform game starring a cute bunny
-
Heist Meisters – a tense 2D top-down stealth game
-
Cubedude Kickabout – a local multiplayer 3D football/soccer game
-
Food fight – a third person shooter
We’ll be working with GDScript, Godot’s powerful python based language that will allow us to get awesome results very quickly. You’ll be provided with all the assets you need and the skills to take your games (and your future projects) even further.
Some of the things we’ll cover include;
-
Variables, Arrays and Dictionaries
-
Tilemaps and Gridmaps
-
PhysicsBody nodes
-
Local multiplayer
-
Using external JSON files
-
Showing 2D in 3D
And much, much more!
