Godot 4 3D Platformer Lesson #1: Let's Get Started!

[@BornCG]

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!

[@salfaticyril139]

Thank you. When is the next video planned ? Regards

[@RTW590]

Yesssss

[@CaptainSkunk-k7w]

Can't wait, I was really hoping you'd make this series. Until we wait, I will finish up the Blender tutorials :)

[@ClintCarlson]

Amazing. Thank you so much for this!

[@BornCG]

Thursday morning, which might be TODAY when you see this! 🤯🥳😉👍

[@darrennew8211]

I was hoping you'd start a 3D Godot series! You're still the best teacher out there.

[@fuhiraabass2210]

i second that

[@BornCG]

☺️ thanks!

[@0CutieCat0]

Such a good time for a new Godot tutorial

[@SovereignVis]

Yup, going to see a lot more Godot users now that Unity is just killing itself. 😅

[@ElmerFleischmann]

TY for making a 3D platformer series, I watched all the 2D platformer tutorials and learned a lot from them!😁

[@BornCG]

Glad I could help!

[@FireLionKnight]

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!

[@Mr.raiyan56]

Thank you for starting a 3d playlist!!! Love your content.

[@lesflaya]

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!

[@BornCG]

Thanks for your comment! Glad I could help! ❤️🙏

[@plantbasedavid]

I can definitely tell you're a HS teacher, not only knowledgeable but can speak well xD

[@Bomtoi]

I can't believe, just today when I decided to get back to Godot! Welcome back!

[@kellyrodgers9326]

A great teaching style. Clear and easy to follow. Thanks so much!😀

[@kevthedev502]

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

[@ThankCh7ist]

Thank you. I am 13 years old. And I can finally make a game

[@BornCG]

You can do it!!!

Good on you for learning at a young age! If you stick at it you'll be leaving all of us in the dust.

[@BritBox777]

Hilarious timing. Hope this does well, I'm learning Godot in my free time since we're kinda stuck with Unity for this project. Keep it up.

[@mqbaka]

Glad to see you again. Thanks for the video.

[@KalarotLP]

Thank you so much for your detailed tutorials, I started with Godot thanks to your 2d Platformer Tutorial series. Keep it up! :)

[@Rotalice2]

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!

[@iJokeOfficial]

YOU ARE MY TYPE OF TEACHER. LOVED ALL YOUR TUTORIALS 🥲

[@wrenchtype]

what a perfect time after Unity

[@rahuljis6465]

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?

[@alan112223]

Dude your a legend!

[@americantoastman7296]

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!

[@garyproffitt5941]

Your my hero intelligent American teacher Colin.

[@character640p]

Yes!!!! The new tutorial!!!❤❤❤

[@Gerogie]

This was exactly the kind of intro i needed. Thank you

[@mahadrasheed3109]

Perfect timing I was done with unity scripting and was about to give up on game development and then you came.

[@JuhoSprite]

Learned a lot from your 2d platformer course, so Im certain this course will be fantastic aswell

[@AlicesWhoRuHouse]

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?

[@SpectreKritical]

coolest computer teacher I have ever had!

You could also save your `.tscn` files as `.scn` ones which works as well but makes them binary.

[@zinarmagadan3751]

I have version 4.2.1 of Gadot and the new project button is no longer all the way on the right side like it is in this video, it's now on the left side under the Local Projects tab as "+ New".

[@williamauditore7027]

We missed you

[@MakutaOfficial]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@karti9117]

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?

[@micmacha]

Fun note-you can also launch the current scene with F6, or the whole project with F5.

[@jinenjipeke]

thank you

[@hypermonk33y56]

i guess its using them in tandem so you wont have to solely relying on one engine

I'm in.

[@dontCallMe..]

it just came in time cuz i was switching frome unity to godot cuz of all the drama thats happening

[@BornCG]

Welcome! 🙂

[@iamlosingmysanityrapidly]

currently watching this while godot is having a panic attack and froze up

[@LoopCat-td6cx]

First video ever watched

[@ZoXlikeLP]

i would like to follow this but then i saw its just 7/26 videos done and i would be stuck for at least a month it seems.. :/

[@SovereignVis]

Unity decided to just torpedo itself, so great time for a new tutorial series since there will be a lot of new people getting onto the Godot ship now. 😅

[@triptop3703]

What to start with? - Godot 3 Playlist or - This one

[@frecio231]

Godot 3 is still relevant but the more current version (quite stable thou) is 4, so you can choose either one as most knowledge of G3 will be compatible with G4

[@BornCG]

This new series/course for complete beginners and is more up-do-date because some things have changed with the version of Godot I use in this series: Godot 4. In the 2D platformer series I used Godot 3.x, which is largely the same, though some code has changed with the new version of Godot and GDScript, which beginners might struggle with trying to learn from that series but using the new version.

Weelll.. I already have all 26 video lessons recorded (I smashed through them all this summer), but not yet edited. Depends how busy I am? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@V6HAVOC]

This is a great tutorial, i like how you actually explain everything instead of glossing over them as nothing. One cons, you speak so slow i almost fell asleep twice 🫠

[@BornCG]

Ha! Thanks. I always used to be criticized (correctly) for talking too fast. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@chardonnaybarlow4873]

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.

More of this please, more GODOT tutorials so we can say byebye to unity forever.

[@joeln801]

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.

[@RTW590]

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

[@NeilRoy]

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.

[@MakeItInterestingNow]

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.

[@TheManiel177]

Thank you for this I just sat down a few minutes ago and said I want to make a video game

[@RealOGfikey]

lol I'm loving all the love Godot is getting recently because of the Unity.

[@HurricaneSA]

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]

@@HurricaneSA Way to completely misrepresent my words, dude. That is not even remotely what I said.

[@HurricaneSA]

@@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 KZbin 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.

[@RealOGfikey]

@@HurricaneSA I don't care what other people are saying.

[@thedrunkmonkshow]

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! 😇

[@BornCG]

Thanks for your kind words, fellow 40-year-old! 😊😉👍

[@FallerToon]

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)

[@larg5847]

time to move to godot, because i dont want to do anything in hungrity enymore

[@felipoto]

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.

[@spiderjerusalem8505]

"Strike iron while it's hot", huh? :D

[@MouseSkull]

I think this has been in the works for a while now. But the timing sure did end up being just right.

[@BornCG]

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 😉👍

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!

[@Tharmorteos]

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*

Thank you Fix It Felix, I will continue to watch the other episodes and learn how to make a very very very very good game. :)

[@deansan4250]

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! ❤
