If you haven't heard: I've already recorded all 26 videos for this course. They're coming, just in my editing pipeline! 👍🎬 Thanks for your support and patience!
I'm a dev manager that is out of development now but still code at home. I am volunteering at a middle school teaching CS concepts. Twenty years ago my wife enrolled my son in a summer school class where he learned Turtle(?) language. He is now a Sr DBA because he likes the data side of things. What you are doing here is FANTASTIC. Godot is a wonderful experience for beginners and even mid level programmers. Please, Please, Please keep up your good work.
For anyone who is brand new to coding or severely out of practice, I went to school for coding. It was a terrible experience that brought absolutely no reward for me and I hated every second of it. That was almost a decade ago and I decided I wanted to pick it up again because I am still incredibly passionate about game design and have big ideas. But the entire process has be excrutiating to even get started because of my fear and trauma from trying to learn code before. I had heart palpatations and was doing everything to avoid even downloading Godot and Blender. You are good enough. You can do it! Don't allow the story you tell yourself be a self-fulfilling prophecy, you got this! The panic that you may be feeling is being felt by thousands before you, thousands with you and will be felt by millions after you. You are not alone. We do want to hear the story bouncing around in your head as much as we want you to hear the story bouncing around in ours. But it can never be heard if you don't make that first decision and take that first step.
I just had to stop and leave a comment. As someone who has experimented with 2D game engines like Klik & Play and Multimedia Fusion I've also taken several years off of game development. I turned 40 this year and figured I'd take another crack at it but I've always been intimidated by 3D game development and 3D modeling since 2D is complicated enough as it is. But so far after discovering your video and finishing this first video I have to commend you with your approach to teaching. Not to disparage others but the other tutorials weren't clicking with me as they assumed the person to already know lots of unfamiliar concepts but your explanations are clear, concise, well-paced and perfect in helping me learn Godot but the added bonus is you mentioned Blender which I also have never used before. Thank you my friend and about to click start Lesson 2! 😇
An old timer senior software engineer on real time systems in C/C++ -and ASM86 and decided to learn game programing. Found your channel and did the first episode and had a lot of fun. Excellent lesson, clearly narrated and logical explanations. Looking forward to doing more. Thank you.
The legend is back with what the people need!! I'm hoping to publish a Godot game in the next 1-2 years PS to everyone, I've watched all of his previous Godot tutorials and they have been great
This is the type of tutorial I wish I had seen when I started gamedev. Everything well explained, not rushed, not slow either and with chapters included.
So excited! Saw your prior tutorial a few years back and gained a lot. Still learning GDScript, but this will help solidify what I want to do for my games. Thank you!
I just want to say you're a godsend. I missed the time growing up where I could go to coding camp or anything like that, and thought I would just never really be able to get coding even though I've strung some simple stuff together before and barely made it work. I tried using gadot like a year ago and got so overwhelmed, so excited to give this a try and so far it's seamless, you're a great teacher!
Oh my boy BornCG, thank you so much. This will be very useful for me since I wanted to make 3d games with Godot. (Especially zelda like games, 3d action rpgs or tps)
I wish people would stop saying this. I get that some people are excited that Godot is getting some love but everyone makes it sound like Godot can only succeed if Unity fails. That is not the case. Godot is a very powerful engine in its own right and it does not need other game engines to fail in order to excel. Does the extra exposure help Godot? Of course. Would Godot have surpassed Unity if Unity did not implode? Also Yes. I don't use Godot because Unity tried some shady money grabbing and now I have to settle for something else. No! I use Godot because it is better than the Unity at most things already and it's better than Unreal for 2D projects. Also, it's light-weight, fast and has very little bloated overhead.
@@RealOGfikey You didn't say it but all the "Godot getting love because of Unity scandal" comments leads to people thinking that. Look at most Godot videos on UA-cam in recent months and you'll see at least one person saying something about them being there because of the Unity thing. It honestly creates an impression of Godot being a second best option only suitable because there's an issue with Unity. And don't even get me started on all the, "Why I left Unity for Godot" videos. Ugh.
Hi!! I was looking for a tutorial for Godot and I found the tutorials for 4 years ago!! Im happy you made tutorials for the newer version, just saved my life!
Hello BornCG! Great to see you still helping the game dev community! Thank you for your work! I finished the coin maze game and even added some music to the menu as an experiment. I took a break since I jumped on to tackle being a one man dev very intensely and I had to step back a bit 😅. I will be backtracking to boender as I went through the maze tutorial without having learned blender first. I need to learn to create my own models if I want to single handedly finish games. I have a music production and performance background (no formal education) so the sound effects and soundtracks I can confidently say I can handle as of now. I found an old laptop that I refurbished (a weaker lenovo thinkpad from 2015 that I brought up to 8gb RAM pretty much lol) I installed some pixel art software as well so you can see how I may have become overwhelmed quickly trying to learn that, game engines and their differences, not to mention CODING, which I have no previous knowledge of other than my experience with your tuts. I am jumping back on today but probably back on that 2D Zelda ish fox with a cape one I cant remember right now lol because I had already started it. I would love to get in touch with you as I am very invested in developing games. For my first original project I want to create an old school Metal Gear-esque stealth game. I am yet undecided as to the art style. I had decided on a project zomboid ish style but I am starting to think it may be out of my league as far as animations etc. I am willing to bring it down to any bit or style I can handle but definitely will be completing your blender and at least a couple more of your game tuts, I really just got worn out 😂! If there is any way I can get in better contact with you please let me know. I understand this is the comment section and it's hard to establish a line so if you want to shoot any advice at me I'll be following. Let me know if you need me to clarify my questions as my lack of experience prevents me from even formulating the appropriate questions! You do amazing work for the community, I can't thank you enough! ❤
Been learning Godot for the past week with zero previous knowledge in engines or coding. Have managed to work a lot of things out myself, the GDscript language is pretty straight forward. After i've finished working on this 2D platformer learning project, im coming straight back here.
I've been trying to learn about coding and game creation for a bit. I was using Game Maker, though I had some trouble with it, and with a lot of issues popped up in 2023 for me that I couldn't really get enough time to play. I recently tried out Godot and so far it feels like it's a lot easier for me to grasp. I completed a small 2D game tutorial recently and I want to give 3D a try now. Thank you for making tutorials to help out dummies like me!
I'm actually not new to godot. But for the last 1.5 years I've been sticking to UE5. Just recently made a decision to switch to another game engine since UE is too heavy loaded for my projects and in most cases I don't even use a fragment of features it provides. It's actually incredible to see how Godot flourished over the years and it was extremely handy going over your course to get used to this engine. Much appreciated!
you do sound like someone who teaches middle schoolers xD you have very affirming and positive vibe in the way you speak. great video btw! i was able to listen and watch your tutorial while working with blender and later, i was able to remember everything you mentioned. it shows that with the right methods and attitude, one can teach to anybody. *thumbs up*
So far so good, thank you for the introduction. Can't wait to see more! :) After 2 years in Gamemaker this is just what I need to get a fresh start here!
i learned 2d from you and now the 3d cause you are the best teacher and i really like your voice sound it makes me understand every word you say... thank you so much
You should allow Godot to access the internet as it will show you assets it can download and install as well as online docs etc... so that is not just for online gaming. You definitely want to allow it access.
Great work! I just started learning godot! It has been a hard journey coming from making 2d games in python pygame and a few 3d games in panda3d in python and a bit of open gl in c++ and i tell you being ten years old doesnt help but you made it so much easier with this tutorial
Hey dude i am currently watching your blender tutorial series and on god you are the best teacher and your explanation is awesome. Can you make more blender tutorial please like geometry nodes etc?
Yeeees, nice to see you back right in time ! I have just started my own first 3D Godot project. No doubt I'll find plenty of useful tips in this series (did you really say 26 videos ??), Thanks for this and for all you have already done in the past.
Hi! It's awesome to see you back doing new tutorials. In the future, would it be possible to create a beginner series in godot for a tower defence game?
Oooh this is exciting I'm currently taking programming classes and wanted to try my hand at making something simple but since I'm still new everything was a bit overwhelming so I'm so happy I stumbled across your videos! Thank you so much for this! I'll start here I was wondering 🤔 my dream game is to build a farming game they are my favorites you see do you know of anything that would help to start learning how to make one in godot?
I actually honestly had no idea what was happening with Unity until I literally looked it up two days ago. 🤣🤣 I was too busy recording, editing, life, and getting my IRL school year started. Just great timing 😉👍
Thank you for making these set of videos. You have always been a solid teacher. Do you have a timeline for when each video will be released. You picked an excellent subject 3D Platformer. Thanks again
All lessons in this course have been recorded, it's just up to how quickly they can be edited, thumbnails made, etc. Those steps are a ton of work; I'm hoping for at least once a week or more.
@@BornCG Thank you for such a quick response. I look forward to your next lesson. As a 'C' coder for 40 years I am fascinated by 3D game programming. For me it is not the coding, but learning the tool that is paramount
I'm only really interested in developing 3D games in Godot, is it worth checking out and going through an extensive tutorial for 2D? Or does the logic not translate well between the two and I should go straight for this?

Thank you. When is the next video planned ?
Regards
Yesssss
Can't wait, I was really hoping you'd make this series. Until we wait, I will finish up the Blender tutorials :)
Amazing. Thank you so much for this!
Thursday morning, which might be TODAY when you see this! 🤯🥳😉👍
I'll pause the video to give praise to the maker! ABSOLUTELY good instruction! The tone, speed, voice, motivation. Pro teaching. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

what a perfect time after Unity
Thank you. I am 13 years old. And I can finally make a game
You can do it!!!
@@BornCG thank
God bless you 🙏
@@RainbowShatterMusic you too
Good on you for learning at a young age! If you stick at it you'll be leaving all of us in the dust.
Such a good time for a new Godot tutorial
Yup, going to see a lot more Godot users now that Unity is just killing itself. 😅

TY for making a 3D platformer series, I watched all the 2D platformer tutorials and learned a lot from them!😁
Glad I could help!
More of this please, more GODOT tutorials so we can say byebye to unity forever.

Great tutorial! Very easy to follow along with and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
Glad you liked it! Lesson #2 lands tomorrow (Thursday) morning. 👍
@@BornCG Nice! Are you aiming for a weekly release schedule for the rest of the series?
Excellent! Two thumbs up! Looking forward to this and thank you!
Great set of videos! Thanks so much for putting these together! I learned a ton!
Dude your a legend!
Looking forward to this series thanks for taking the time
lol I'm loving all the love Godot is getting recently because of the Unity.

I can't thank you enough for the godot 4 course I just recently started your godot 3 course and now I am switching!
let's gooo that series will be amazing
I learned a lot about Blender watching your videos in the past. And so I have returned once again to learn Godot from the master, this is exiting!
Glad to see you again. Thanks for the video.
I really wanted to start out a 3D project, having 2D experience on Godot. Now I regret why I didn't found this channel earlier
Thank you so much for your detailed tutorials, I started with Godot thanks to your 2d Platformer Tutorial series. Keep it up! :)

You’re most welcome! 😊
i am blessed with this
i envy those middle school student, i'm sure your student are soo lucky to have you as their teacher..
We missed you
Thanks godot wouldn't be the best game engine without you
"If i can teach this to middle schoolers, i can teach it to you."
me: i know im good at logic, but thats alot of pressure
OMG, this is amazing
Me watching the intro, the looking at my keyboard thinking I've lost my mind
Hi! Does the fact that you began a new tutorial mean that you abandon your old 2d platforemer tutorial or you just postpone it for awhile?
Not abandoned, but over. I finished the series by making a tutorial for every feature I outlined at the start of the first video.
3D!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
I'm only really interested in developing 3D games in Godot, is it worth checking out and going through an extensive tutorial for 2D? Or does the logic not translate well between the two and I should go straight for this?
let's do this
Muchas gracias, tu video es genial.

Less goooooo
Man you sound excited about talking about coding. It's good, I'd probably get bored if not for that lmao
You could also save your `.tscn` files as `.scn` ones which works as well but makes them binary.
My wish came true!!!
Thanks !!
