[@Michaelissimo]

ADVICE FOR BRAND NEW DEVELOPERS: step 1. follow a few tutorials like this. step 2. think of a very simple game idea. step 3. try to make that game with the knowledge you have. step 4. when you inevitably run into a feature you don't know how to add to your game, watch a tutorial on that thing specifically. step 5. make multiple small projects using less tutorials and start to rely more on the documentation until you become more independent. step 6. you are now fluent in game development. good job!

[@Rikaisan]

Complimenting step 4: If you can't find a tutorial on that thing, divide it into smaller problems and look for those instead. So instead of "How to make a magic bag" you maybe can think of it as an inventory, so "how to make an inventory" and if you still can't find that, divide it into even smaller problems until you get to the basics of whatever you want to make: - How to make a UI - How to toggle a UI / a scene - How to disable inputs while in a UI - How to make draggable items - How to store data in an object - Etc, etc, etc...

[@garebrylls]

Quick tip for those with higher refresh rate monitors and using Godot4.3. You might notice that your player movement may appear blurry. This is due to Godot's physics system being defaulted to 60 ticks per second. Although changing this setting to 144 or higher depending on your setup may fix the issue, it is typically not a good idea to change this setting. With the latest release, Godot now has 2d Physics Interpolation. You can turn this on by going to Project -> Project Settings -> Physics -> Common -> Enable Physics Interpolation. Your character should be moving smoothly across your screen with this turned on.

[@Seestral]

great tip! had to search the web for an answer before I found this comment unfortunately. lets get u to the top brother. Also I think you also need to turn the fix jittering from 0.5 to 0. it says in the notes

[@TheOriginalDuckley]

Thanks, you’re a legend.

[@saladtalad1311]

@@Seestral To add to it, if you just do that, it will show you an error like this in the debugger - "_update_process_callback: Camera2D overridden to physics process mode due to use of physics interpolation." (At least on my end it did). The error only went away when I selected "Physics" instead of "Idle" under "Process Callback" in "Camera2D".

[@sunnywunny]

tysm i was wondering how i could fix it without messing with the physics tick rate since its generally considered bad practice to change constants like that, i feel like godot should try to detect your monitor refresh rate/ask you for it and tell you if you should enable it

For everyone having the issue where the player doesn't fall or move after you've inserted the movement template. Place the "Camera2D" node directly below "Game" instead of under "Player". That should fix it and the character should fall and be able to move now. I'm not sure what caused this issue however, perhaps it's something to do with the 4.3 updates!

In Godot 4.3 there is a new way of making TileMap layers. TileMap layers are now individual TileMapLayer nodes in the scene.

Can you tell us how to make one tile appear above another?

[@sboksz]

@@MrProg-ey3tl select TileMapLayer node, then from inspector select CanvasItem/Ordering and set Z Index value. Higher value means higher layer. f.e. background TileMapLayer ZIndex=0 and platform TileMapLayer ZIndex=1

Is there a way to make your tiles paint on different Z indexes within the same TileMapLayer node? I have the water set to zero and all other tiles set to 1, but when I paint I still replace the 1 index tiles with the 0 index tiles. I've created a second TileMapLayer and set the whole layer to 0 as a remedy. Just wondering if I can use different indexes on one node.

[@linkup901ify]

@@AndrewLukan You can do it by making duplicates of the node, erase everything you don't want, then set the order to lower than the default 0 or whatever lower than the player to put whatever painted behind them on the new TileMapLayer node.

He also touched on so many good points.

[@El_Loogy]

40:35 Pro Tip: You can add scenes in the tile set, making it possible to place the coins on the tile map while still behaving normally as they should, besides it doesn't show up in the tree making it overall less cluttered. It's easy to do, just look around a bit in the tileset tab and try to drag a scene inside of it, you then place it like a normal tile

[@iron4522]

I've been trying to do this but my coin script gets left with "'attempt to call function 'add_point' in base 'null instance' on a null instance" so I'm guessing theres some pathing involved that changes when you move the coin scene into the tileset

@@iron4522 Is there a way to fix this? have you fixed this? I'm getting a lot of "null instances" and nodes not being found, like when I tried adding a HP system in a similar way, any ideas?

[@GoldenD60]

22:00 *HUGE TIP HERE* : To prevent issues occurring when placing your points, on the left under "painting" click on the little grey magnet icon and select "Grid Snap" and set the number next to the magnet icon from 4 to 16. It will snap your points to the tile making sure that no problems will occur with collisions. For more precise grid snapping, select "Half-pixel", where it snaps to every half a pixel.

[@mickael823]

Thank you this is really helpful :)

[@vitorggate]

I've been using the grid snap and made sure the hitboxes match each other, but the player still gets stuck when going up the slopes. Do you think there's any other setting i might messed up??? Maybe something in the player's hitbox...

[@kienan8756]

Another tip at the same point: When painting the collision on the bridges, there's an option under the 'three dots' to flip horizontally, so if you have a mirrored tile like the bridge ends, you can just flip the painting for the other end, so you get identical collision and don't have to redo anything.

[@cybrok3]

Quick note/fix, in 23:07 section when Brackeys enables position smoothing on camera, if you have a 144Hz refresh rate monitor or more you might see lag on the player object, you can sort of fix it by going in Project/Project Settings/ Application Run make sure advance settings are enable (top right corner) and set max fps to 60 so it doesn't generate more fps which produces the jitter on the player

This tutorial is the best I’ve seen in my life, it’s actually for BEGINNERS! Couldn’t find a single person or video that didn’t expect me to know what I was doing lmao, thank you

[@panampace]

Helpful tip for anyone coming from Unity: if you ever wonder why you can’t attach multiple scripts to a Node, it’s because in Godot, the script actually IS the Node. All Nodes are classes, and attaching a script means extending its class. Godot doesn’t have GameObjects and Components like Unity does, but you can consider a Node’s children Nodes to be its components. So you can give a Node a component script in 2 ways: - Give the Node a child Node, and attach script to it - Instantiate a script as an object inside the Node’s main script

[@Cezkarma]

This is great advice! I actually tried Godot a few months back and one of my biggest gripes was the inability to add more than one script per game object. The solutions you suggested here are great workarounds.

[@paulimriss]

OR use Resources in a export variable, but that's a little more advanced.

[@TouringRCs]

This system is like Unreal Engine and Unity mixed together.

[@MisterBerdill]

Yes, Godot's way means a much more exposed and visible scene tree compared to tons of components on one object in unity. Don't worry, if it's ugly or you have reusable node structures, just right-click -> save as scene!

[@El_Loogy]

1:02:48 Pro Tip 2: You can just create a script named "Game Manager" and inside project setting go into the "Autoload" tab and add your game manager script, that way it will always be there, so if you have multiple levels you don't have to put a "Game Manager" node in each of them, it even enables you to make the variables inside the scripts to be global and accessible from every other scripts. This makes everyhting much simpler and allows you to directly call the function "add_point" from the coin script. Just remember to reset the points counter whenever you reload the scene or else coins will keep adding up.

[@chr0n4s25]

How you do it with the label? I cant get it to work with your method. But I like your method

[@chr0n4s25]

Nvm i used signals and that works great

[@Lucky_Drive]

Yep, he said that at the end of the video.

[@rorrust2110]

or instead of just the script, you can use a node with the script instead, that way you can cycle through different background music by placing the audio inside of the node.

[@omartanah5854]

Thank you! this works really well. To reset point counter you can make a new function similar to the add_point in the GameManager like this: func reset_point(): score = 0 print(score) then in killzone script in the on_timer_timeout signal you can call the function like this : GameManager.reset_point() I hope this helps anyone reading!

[@theConcernedWyvern]

I wont lie, I struggled so much with previous Unity tutorials from this channel. I'm not sure if it's how intuitive Godot is, or how much better Brackeys' teaching has gotten, but I understand everything to a T and have had no moments where I'm freaking out trying to figure out what lines of code are supposed to be doing. I'll see if that remains once I test making an actual game, but so far I'm thinking Godot might be the engine for me. I adore the new teaching style. Its so easy to understand, the perfect speed and just concise enough while still being detailed and well organized.

[@alextrollip7707]

C# In general is a more difficult language One of the benefits of Python/GDScript is how simple it is to both read, use and understand. C# has other benefits, but it requires a significantly more in depth understanding of code and how things should work. Most programmers familiar with any language can grab python and make what they need cause the language is made to get things done quickly. GD Script is build with that in mind. But I think Brackeys has improved in his learning style, but I really enjoyed most of his videos actually. Great learning experiences

[@TimothyParez]

I don't know where to start. First of all you are such a talented teacher. Second, this has go to be, the best, most fluent, introduction to Godot ever. In over just one hour you walk us through a process which other creators drag out over 10 or more episodes. This introduction is so damn good it should, maybe not right now, but eventually, become part of the Godot project and made accessible for the millions of people who don't have access to KZbin. It's so good, to have you back!

[@RaulMarengo]

I just wanted to say that it is good to have you back. I have left my 10 yo son with this video and with minor help from me he is now over half way through and he has learnt a lot. He got stuck a few times not knowing some computer basics, like how to select things (holding shift, control, etc) but he has now learnt those things. Looking forward to seeing more from you.

I have started my game development journey couple days ago. I have 3 games in mind already fleshed out. And I am starting on my very first game. First time using game making software using GODOT. I come from a voice over/music and sound design background of 15 years. My bread and butter is voice over, making music and mixing and mastering. Im pretty excited to make a game and complete it. My first goal is make a level that is playable and that it works. Wish me luck.

[@JustNightmare]

As someone who have used GODOT for the past years to make games, this video is a great tutorial. It says beginner tutorial, but don't be fooled, to make simples games it doesn't go too far as what was shown. Congratulations Brackeys! I can't wait for the next video!

[@omrividal]

I cannot believe that this is the first video I watch of Brackeys! The explaination skills are beyond KZbin's tutorials levels, the way you approach things and show while still tutoring its truly mind blowing!

I don't know what to feel right now. I'm a hardcore Unreal Developer but back when I was studying game design in university I learned how to make games with unity with you. I even used your videos to implement some gamplay mechanics in Unreal Engine. I'm really happy that game development community got you back. And I'm glad you decided to go with Godot. I believe in the goal of Godot. And your videos will help them a lot. (Don't underestimate your impact 😅) With you I will give a second chance to Godot with a hobby project.

I wish I could say the same. I spent a total of 12 days bugfixing and troubleshooting. 9 days of it was spent trying to fix the GameManager when in reality the only reason the score didn't work was because the coins had the parent node of a Node2D, not just an Area2D. (I didn't know you could directly add in nodes when creating a new scene, I thought you had to base it off a Node or Node2D)

[@mcoolid]

Welcome back, we missed you

[@vanlichtinstein]

Bro, I wrote godot off as a beginner's baby engine, like roblox, and never looked into it. I'm blown away by the functionality. The fact that you can incorporate singletons without code, a full audio mixer, and the ability to call functions from animation keyframes without using waits and coroutines is mind boggling. The language also looks heavily based on python which is my specialty. I'm definitely looking more into this engine after having watched this video

[@mastershooter64]

[@ced326]

If you are having issues with coin collisions (~ 32:30 ) not being detected, what I had to do to fix was just double checking which nodes were under others in the coin scene. If you accidentally place your collision shape node under your animated sprite node, instead of directly under your coin node, everything will work perfectly except the coin will not detect the collision when an object hits it.

[@littlephoenix]

Years ago when I started learning game development, I wanted to start with Godot because my computer was old and could run Godot more smoothly. However, I struggled a lot due to the lack of Godot tutorials and switched to learning Unity. Beginners these days are so lucky because there are now Brackeys Godot tutorials.

[@josephstrahl5921]

1. I love Brackeys, and would have watched this video no matter what because of how relaxed I feel as he explains things. 2. I have been learning Godot, and he does such a great job of breaking things down and explaining. I am so glad Brackeys is back. He talks in a way that it feels like you're listening to a good friend. We feel like we know him, even though he has no idea who we are. Fantastic creator.

This is just surreal. I have always wanted to be able to make games. Dabbled here and there with unity and unreal a few times but never finished anything.

Thank you so much, truly. This is something very special.

As someone who has been interested in game design for a while but never had the courage to learn any of the programming languages or engines to do it myself.

Great to have Brackeys back. I've been making games as a hobby for 15 years and this video is one of the best intros to game dev I've ever seen. It took me a long time to understand the basics of game development, structure and organization and that struggle resulted in a lot of very messy, barely functional games that were almost impossible to work on. This video nails the fundamentals and how to quickly make a functional game. Awesome stuff!

[@ymi_yugy3133]

Awesome tutorial. Here a few tips to ehance the UX a little. 1. In the project settings make sure your physics fps matches your refresh rate. Otherwise there will be jitter. 2. Allow the player to make a jump even shortly after falling down. (50ms felt good to me). I accomplished this by adding a timer on the player and restart it every physics tick, if the player is on the ground. Then allow jumping by allowing the jump if timer.time_left > 0, even if the player isn't on the ground.

[@onurkorkmaz22]

I've got a high refresh rate monitor and I was thinking about why was my character jittering, I wasted 10 to 15 minutes until I noticed it was because of my monitors refresh rate but I never found a fix except capping the fps at 60. Seeing your first tip fixed it and gave me a knowledge that I needed and I will never forget. Thanks!

[@GrumpyStoic]

@@onurkorkmaz22 Just to clarify, is this "Physics ticks per second"? (From looking at the Godot documention I get the feeling they renamed it from "Physics FPS".

[@GrumpyStoic]

Hey are you able to provide a little more info on the jump timer? I've had a stab at it but am puzzled how to achieve this so far. What's confusing me is I'm printing the timer and it is either or zero (when reset). I'm expecting it to tick up at least whilst I'm in the air. I tried setting the player way high in the air to see if that made a difference, but the timer still started at . I may simply need to read up on Timers tbh. Edit: Even now I just read the hover-text for Wait Time and it blew my mind, so I think what you're proposing is probably a few steps away from what I can achieve as a beginner.

[@Gatrehs]

@@GrumpyStoic You can achieve it as a beginner easily. Add a timer node to the player called Timer, Make sure it's a 1 shot and 0.05 seconds. (50 ms) In the _physics_process function you modify your if is_on_floor() statement like this: if is_on_floor(): $Timer.start() if direction == 0: animated_sprite.play("idle") else: animated_sprite.play("run") else: animated_sprite.play("jump") Last thing you need to change is in if Input.is_action_just_pressed("jump") and is_on_floor(): You need to change it to if Input.is_action_just_pressed("jump") and not $Timer.is_stopped(): That means you'll be able to jump as long as the timer is running instead of as long as you're on the floor. You can probably use a variable and call it something like jump_timer instead of directly referencing the timer if you prefer that but I wanted to make the comment as short as possible haha. Edit: I suppose you technically could spam the jump twice with this functionality within those 50ms, but you can just stop the timer using $Timer.stop() when you do the jump as well.

[@onurkorkmaz22]

@@GrumpyStoic Yes, they've renamed it.

[@mattstockton6631]

There's a pipette tool for painting the physics on the tiles. For painting the physics on the bridge, you can paint the middle bridge first. Then you can paint the left without moving the connecting edge. Then you can use the pipette tool (next to the 'paint' button) to reselect the middle bridge so that you can have the correct position for the right bridges' connecting edge.

[@fy8798]

You can also simply flip the physics, in this case, there's an option to mirror them horizontally or vertically. very common use case for tiles.

[@timothydang3554]

41:14. Since the GoDot 4.3 update is rolling over to using TileMapLayer instead of using TileMap, there is no "Layers" section under the TileMapLayer node to add your background. A way around this is to duplicate the TileMapLayer and drag that duplicate under the original TileMapLayer so that it becomes a child. Go into TileMapLayer2, uncheck Collison Enable under "Physics" and check Show Behind under "Visbility." Now you should be able to draw in your background without overlapping the first layer.

If you want to use Godot with it's full potential you need to use GDScript. Your comment is like saying "useless bcz no C#" when you use Unreal Engine. It just makes no sense. I guess you are a beginner and scared to learn new things. I just want to tell you that you will never be using only one technology if you work as a programmer (if you even want to be a programmer, maybe gamedev is just your hobby idk, i just want to help you). For example, if you work as web dev you will never use only React and Firebase, you will SQL, Mongo db, Flask, Clerk, Stripe, bunch of different APIs that you have never seen before and bunch of other new tech that you have never seen before, so you will need to read the docs and learn by yourself. Limiting to only one technology is nearly impossible in real life bcz it almost impossible to make everything with only one technology. GDscript is much much better than C#, it's litteraly the same as python.

So in this case the background tiles and the platform tiles would be 2 separate TileLayer nodes? I read the explanation on Godot site, but still unsure how it will work :) I guess that means every TileLayer will have it's own Physics Layers

@@Atropos148 That's exactly what it will be. Instead of creating layers in tilemap node, you just add TilemapLayer nodes as children to the tilemap node. And you can name them and hide and do other convenient things while seeing them in front of your eyes. I really like this change!
