Farming & Crop Ageing Mechanics Tutorial for 2D Godot 4 Games

Big tutorial showing one way of having ageing growing plant crops that can be harvested for crop items in a 2D Godot game.
You might consider using @export_path var next_scene instead of PackedScene because if the packed scene goes missing it can prevent the scene that depends on it from being opened in the editor. If you do, you'll have to call load(next_scene).instantiate() when you want to create a copy of the scene file in the game world.

I recommend that you use @export_file var next_scene instead of @export var next_scene : PackedScene. In the tutorial, I connect the different corn scenes with PackedScenes which does work. However, if one scene goes missing it can completely break the other ones. Better to have a string pointing to a missing file than being unable to edit scenes due to missing scene dependencies in this case IMHO. You'll have to call load(next_scene).instantiate() to create the scene.

This is far and away the best tutorial for getting farming/plant growing mechanics up and running. Thank you so much for making it, and for explaining everything so well!

[@elmano1202]

This is exactly what I need at the moment, thank you so much!

[@obirdmano]

great tutorial, thank you!

[@Shagrath86]

Awesome stuff :)

[@user-ef2hl5vg6s]

Thank you very much for the video

[@christianhoffmann7284]

great tutorials, chris. suggestion, if i may 🙃 could you do one on card game mechanics?

[@EF5iris]

i havent watched the tutorial in full yet, but couldnt every crop with its stages technically be its own scene? maybe stages are in an array and on every timer countdown you advance the stage and just check what timer value it uses and reset the timer for that-- like a match statement of sorts? and the sprite can be an animated sprite with no actual animation, rather you use the frames to represent different stages

[@EF5iris]

if you need to run a check on whether the plant is harvestable or not, just run a signal or function that returns the current stage in the array (maybe it could be a stack so you just check the top element, but i havent looked into data structures in godot yet)

[@Necrincito]

Please tutorial, (the player cuts a tree), (the tree shakes due to the cut), (put the number of times the action is performed to cut down the tree), (example: large tree 5 times, medium tree 3, small tree 2) , (when you reach the maximum number of times the tree falls in the animation), (and drop objects on the tree)

[@Necrincito]

Can you create another tutorial but that contains what I say here???))
cut trees (the tree shakes if the player cuts them) has a cut (cut trees) action limit (example: 5 times a large tree, 3 times a medium tree, 2 times a small tree) when it reaches the limit (tree aga animation (falling) and falling objects on the tree after (falling tree)

[@Shadowthevampire]

butter milks assets is only free for patreons is there any other thats completely free so I can use while im practicing?

[@Trendsthismonth]

Is there a script to downlad for the project ?

[@Shadowthevampire]

What scripting language are you using in this video?

[@SyureK13]

He's scripting in GDscript in this video.

[@kardrasa]

hehe, I dont know what Im doin in godot hehe

[@ChrisTutorialsYT]

It gets easier over time lol. When you're used to another engine like Unity, everything else has an extra learning curve. The more I use it the clearer it gets.

[@Trendsthismonth]

You figure it out?

[@Shadowthevampire]

what settings did you use when making a new project?
how do I make a sprite sheet for crops like you have?
The video is very fast
I wish you couldve explained a bit more so newbies understands.

I'm a high school student, I hope you can continue the 2d platformer game sidescrolling tutorial until it becomes an android apk because it's my 2nd semester assignment before graduation 🙏🙏🥺
