I tried to follow what I learned from Brackeys' channel and created a game, which I turned into a video on my own channel. Now I finally understand how difficult making games can be.

Me too! Super important stuff explained very well ​@@NullCyan

[@Apebek]

I have a question. Is it not totally unnecessary to instantiate a node for a health script? It does some calculations but does not make use of the node functionality. If you had lots of objects with nodes attached does it not take more processing power? I think you can do the same by scrips alone and maybe extend from Object for the most basic stuff.

[@led-0185]

This video also doubles as a simple but robust introduction to programing. All the basic concepts are explained in short, easy-to-understand ways while also showing their applicability. Thank you very much for this tutorial.

[@rubixcube6]

In response to 57:48 I would love to see a tutorial dealing with 3D. In your first 2D game tutorial you mentioned that in Godot it is very easy to transfer 2D concepts to 3D so that seems like the next logical step.

Teacher here. Bro you're awesome. It must've taken some time to figure out exactly what to say and in which order, for you to make it so understandable.

[@dhj000woof4]

Quick note for viewers: At 7:45 when he's making the text change colors, there's an important distinction between is_action_pressed and is_action_just_pressed, and in a lot of cases you'll want to use the latter. In the video's example, it doesn't matter due to how the code behaves, but is_action_pressed will actually spam the code when you hold the button down. If you just want the code to activate once (when you initially press the button), you'll want to use is_action_just_pressed. However, I'm certain Brackeys saw this in the docs and simply wanted to avoid making the tutorial too complicated at that moment. I'd watch educational videos of any kind if this is how it's presented. Best tutorial channel out there by far!

[@calebgilbertyt]

Brackeys you couldn't have made this video at a more perfect time, we love you!

[@Reymax164]

*Ey, it's you!!*

[@Emmanuel_Ojor]

Hi caleb

[@何志颖]

Hello Brackeys, the market is flooded with a large number of introductory tutorials. There are many tutorials for many basic concepts that you can refer to, but there is very little information explaining the advanced concepts or mechanisms of Godot, such as the complete life cycle of nodes and hooks, and the concept and use of resources , memory management related, complete input processing flow, data serialization and deserialization, saving and loading, etc. I would be particularly excited to see these contents in your channel.

[@nevertoolate5325]

👆 this!

[@jesperjohansson6959]

This is true, but still, of all the "beginner tutorials" to Godot these are probably the best that have been made now. I hope they eventually get to making advanced tutorials too! If anything, I'd love to see a devlog series. That'll give them a way to talk about advanced topics while still keeping viewers who aren't interested in learning about those specific topics.

[@definarte]

thank you

[@liriocoentro]

Check out @christutorialsyt

[@theConcernedWyvern]

Yes! I would love some data serialization! I'm still new to the engine but learning serialization is super important for so many projects.

[@benbutcher2608]

I have to admit, Brackeys, the new level of showmanship you put in these new videos is awesome. Way beyond using a meme or a sound effect. The cooking metaphor in your last video went way beyond what most GM tutorial producers would even dream of.

[@kaydenmecham1189]

Brackeys I am so glad that you are back and working in Godot! I am a new programmer working my way through college, and started making video games as a hobby. I used to watch your videos for Unity, but after all the drama last year, I became disheartened with Unity, and took a break. At the start of this year I started researching other options, and began coding in Godot. I'm still pretty new to it, and am looking forward to using your videos to help myself improve.

[@wesleyclymer9026]

You’re not alone! I’m considering switching my major to something in computer science after the first tutorial.

[@teegeevee42]

I would love to see tutorials on: -> how to make a 2d (pseudo 3d) game without physics but rather with mouse interaction (e.g. card game) -> how to properly implement menu systems -> how to make a 3d (insert vehicle)-simulator kind of games

[@scoundrel_studios]

oohhh - card game 🙌

[@theConcernedWyvern]

Oh I hope he sees this. I've been wrestling with mouse interaction for the past hour and a half. I was like "oh I just check if the input action is being done and if the cursor is inside the area2d" and apparently it's not that easy, or I'm missing something. I'm not sure how to use the signals and functions for that, as trying to wrestle those and if statements together is like pulling teeth.

@heavengrrl Yeah, but I would like to see a general tutorial about Control nodes and interaction with game properties (Resolution, Bus volume, etc)

[@pedroH01]

I want to say that this is one of the best tutorial videos for programing I ever seen, you just explain so well, go straight to the point, give good examples, and at a pace that is easy to understand, not been too fast neither too slow, just the perfect balance. Also, even though it's a really short and small part of the video, the visual representations are great, it's a small detail that really does wonders to help. Thank you so much, I tried looking at a few other tutorials before yours, and I was having a hard time following along, so once again, thank you so much.
