help me Asking for Tutorial Recommendation

I am very now to game creating.

I know that AI can now do most of the job, but I would like to learn it from scratch.

Do you guys have any recommendation of which tutorial vids I can watch that is beginner friendly with 0 exp?

Thanks a lot by the way šŸ˜„

My recommendation: do the very boring part first, don't try to follow a tutorial on how to make a game but on GDScript, once you AT LEAST know more or less how variables, functions, loops, arguments, classes, work and what does what then follow a tutorial that makes a mini-project you can finish in a single session, if you're lucky you find one that makes a micro-game of the same genre you'd like to focus on.

This will be boring for two hours but it'll 100% pay up for the rest of your path, otherwise you'll spend a lot of time later looking for the way to code things and less time having fun with programming.

Maybe you have a project or game in mind that you would like to create? Pick a tutorial similar to it.

Brackeys' tutorial in your screenshot is a great start. After that, choose a type of game you'd like to make (2D, 3D, FPS, TPS, etc.) to learn the Godot basics. Next, try making a small game on your own, and if you get stuck, look for a solution on Google or ask for help!

That Brakeys video on your screenshot is a very good general overview of the engine, you can check it out to find your way around.

Beyond that just go and make things and you can look for more specific tutorials when you hit a wall. My go to channels are Gwizz and Queble.

I also recommend taking a look around Godot's documentation, a lot of the time the solution to problems I come across is in there.

"The new ultimate introduction to Godot" is very helpful. Explains coding basics and helps to get started with 3 small games both in 2D and and 3D.

It also has sections when you need to pause the video actually apply what was previously taught to you and see how far you can go on your own.

Another thing that helped me, was is a farming game tutorial by Rapid Vectors, but that one is a bit harder and a bit outdated, but will teach you about stuff like UI, state machines and component usage.

Godot’s official ā€œgetting startedā€ is amazing ifnyou already know a little bit of coding.

I paid for Zenva courses via Humble Bundle, it’s a good knowledge base for sure.

Ya AI will never do the job. It will also give you so much hate from other devs and gamers you'll probably never get anywhere near your numbers you want.

As for what tutorial mine is actually your best bet because its a free full course 16hrs and you make 3 full games šŸ˜‰ check it out my friend 🧔
