Make an Action RPG in Godot 3.2

Learn to make an Action RPG in Godot Engine 3.2. Godot is a wonderful free and open source game engine designed for indies. It is powerful and flexible.
In this video you will learn how to set up a Godot project for pixel art and how to move an action RPG character around on the screen by getting player input.
This video was made possible by my wonderful Kickstarter backers. If you are interested in taking a deeper dive into the Godot game engine you can buy my 1-bit Godot Course at this link: www.heartgamedev.com/1-bit-go...

So, are you just done with game maker 2?

[@seewhale8565]

@@LetsGoMakeMistakes I know you're asking Ben, however personally, I am done with GM because I have GM 1.4 via inexpensive Humble Bundle and then GM 2 came out which is expensive to buy @ full price with addons to boot. I then found Godot was free and pretty much does the same thing and offers 3D if desired.

For those of you following in godot 4 I compiled a list of comments and my own things that helped me when following this, so take a look if something is different for you. It seems like a lot, but this tutorial is still worth it for following in godot 4. ______________ For pixel art: Go to Project > Project Settings > General Tab > Rendering > Textures. Set 'Default Texture Filter' to 'Nearest.' ______________ To make scaling work: 1. Enable Advanced Settings 2. Set the Viewport Size to the desired size 3. Set mode to maximized or fullscreen (optional) 4. Enable resizing 5. Set the Window Size Override to the desired resize resolution In Stretch: - Set Mode to viewport ______________ KinematicBody2D not found: It is now called "CharacterBody2D" ______________ For movement problems: Don't worry too much about these. In the next episode, these problems will be fixed and any problems you do still have can be answered in the comments in that video. If you want something that works for now, heres something you can copy and paste into your code, although you'll need to change it back to what it is in episode two later. @export var speed = 100 func get_input(): var input_direction = Input.get_vector("ui_left", "ui_right", "ui_up", "ui_down") velocity = input_direction * speed func _physics_process(_delta): get_input() move_and_slide() ______________ Another comment I'd add: For those who use Godot 4.0: don't worry about some issues with this script in Godot 4.0. Over the next few episodes he will update the script and then almost everything will work 1:1 in Godot 4.0 as well. Don't get hung up on the script if something doesn't work for you yet. Tip: in Ep.3 the move_and_slide() method doesn't need any parameters given to it anymore in Godot 4.0 so just write move_and_slide() and this method will automatically use the velocity value. ______________ Credits from some commenters: @philipstephens8799 @magicjinn @jheniffercorreia6731 @BuLlsEyESsHoT If you have anything else I should add, please put it in the replies below.

When he said that i'd need basic knowledge of code to understand this, I thought I would need to watch some more videos as i've only taken a coding course for like half in 5th grade, but it was actually very easy to understand even though i'm now 19 years old and barely remember any of it. Don't let the beginning scare you away from this video because its easy to understand even for super beginners and this engine makes it even easier. I'm sure with better knowledge of code you could do more than just a simple action rpg.

bro ur so good at explaining i dove into this with zero programming experience and still was able to follow along and make my sprite move. youre an awesome teacher!! thanks for making people like me's dreams more reachable!!

[@kawallabair3216]

Absolutely amazing video by the way - Perfect pacing for someone with programming experience who wants to understand where to find things themselves but also doesn't understand how things are supposed to be used in the editor. Fantastic job given that most other tutorials concentrate on a single element of the engine in isolation, or don't explain in enough depth the underlying principles to troubleshoot common problems. Amazingly cohesive, Great job! Learning a ton and looking forward to the rest of the series :D

Guys I can't believe I even finished video 1! This is so exciting!

[@JuniperDev_]

Thank you SO much for this series my guy. Nobody else explained it quite like you

[@sproutdood]

This is just the first episode and I'm already getting so much. Keep it up, man!

[@badunius_code]

18:20 I actually put `pass` at the end of every void function as a function end marker and the last possible breakpoint.

Scientist: "FTL travel isn't possible!" Me after finishing this video: "Move diagonally"

In the Real World it is InfD. We see a 3d-4d World with 2d.

THANK YOU and EVERY SINGLE BACKER. Seriously, this is just Incredible. Thank you for this amazing series!

[@andreramiro3957]

Awesome. I'm following the steps and I'm very excited about this.

[@chaostheory4405]

Dude, I love you and your tutorial. You really know how to teach. I really appreciate how you go through the mistakes so that you can explain it to us afterwards. I really enjoyed the visual representation of the movement grid on MS Paint. This entire video was just perfect. This is the best game development tutorial I have ever seen by far. Keep doing you bro. You're amazing.

[@elliottsb]

Ben, this is fantastic! You do a great job of explaining things. Even better than a lot of trainers I've watched for my continuing education.

If anyone else isn't able to import their files by dragging, go into the resources folder, select all the files, and press copy. Then right click on the files panel in the project and select "open in file manager" then press paste, hope this helps :D

[@user-th7cu9ll4j]

Thank you so much, I was stuck

[@fengji6277]

I'm your loyal fans. When I was learning game maker studio2, I was learning your video, and then I was learning Godot as well. Your video helped me a lot. I thank you for the video you made, which helped me reduce some of my learning difficulties. Now I'm in trouble again.I'm using Godot as an RPG game with the function of file keeping, but I don't know how to read and use it properly. I've read some simple instructions, which won't help me much. Can you make a teaching video with the function of file keeping?Thank you sincerely.-Your loyal fans

[@ente_tangente2415]

Probably one of the best videos teaching programming and usage of Godot. I´m a absolut beginner and all the explanations helped me a lot. Thank you HeartBeast

[@LeGiiTxKiDDs]

This series has become a reference for so many of my beginner projects

[@BuildNRoll]

Thank you for this tutorial. At the end the condition makes no sense, the "if input_vector != Vector2.ZERO" because in the else you set the velocity to Vector2.ZERO anyway, so one line: "velocity = input_vector" would be enough, no need to check a condition.

[@uheartbeast]

Hey! You're welcome. That is true but we will be applying friction instead of just setting it to zero later in the series and so the condition will be useful then.

[@IssaMe]

@@uheartbeast Ooo I was wondering if you just somehow missed it, that clears it up

[@jefvda7041]

If you think about it, this will actually make it so it only gets set to vector2.ZERO once instead of Every frane

[@Azurech]

@@jefvda7041 Is this true? If velocity is already vector2.ZERO does it still "change" to vector2.ZERO every physics frame? (I am a beginner)

[@kevin-bf4ww]

@@Azurech computer dumb if you tell it to assign the same value every frame it will assign the same value every frame
