Description
Godot is rapidly becoming the go-to engine for 2D game development thanks to its simplicity, flexibility, and open-source community. This beginner-friendly course guides you through building fully functional 2D games from scratch using the Godot engine. You’ll start by understanding Godot’s node-based scene system and learning how to organize your projects effectively. Then, you’ll dive into GDScript, Godot’s Python-like scripting language, to bring characters and environments to life. Topics include character movement, collision detection, tilemaps, animation trees, enemy AI, UI systems, and audio implementation. The course also covers common game mechanics like scoring, health systems, inventory, and basic saving/loading. You’ll complete a full game project—such as a top-down RPG or side-scrolling platformer—and gain insight into exporting for desktop and mobile platforms. With clear explanations and hands-on practice, this course empowers you to develop your own indie games while building a portfolio. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a future game studio founder, this course helps you master the tools and techniques to turn creative ideas into engaging 2D gameplay.
