1-Bit Godot Course by Heartbeast

So you're trying to learn Godot Engine. You've been digging through YouTube videos but there aren't as many learning resources as other engines like Unity or GameMaker. The worst part is that sometimes, after all that digging, you still don't have the information you needed in the first place. I know that story because it is exactly where I was 3 years ago when I first started using the engine. Today I teach people how to make games in Godot Engine as my full-time job.

It wasn't easy to get here, though. I spent hundreds of hours watching tutorials, reading through the documentation, and learning from my own mistakes.

What is in This Course?

We cover a lot of different topics as you learn Godot. This course includes 16+ hours of video content and more than 75 lectures. There are 4 main sections, each making a progressively larger game.

Rocket Launch Section

In the Rocket Launch section you will learn to create a new project, import assets, create a scene, add nodes to the scene, and attach a simple script.

Piggy Game Section (my daughter's favorite)

In the Piggy Game section you will learn to move an animated character around on the screen with keyboard input, detect collisions, and control those collisions with layers and masks.

Space Shooter Section

In the Space Shooter section you will learn to create menu's with UI nodes, create autoloads for storing game wide data, add particles and sound effects, and save/load information for your game.

Metroidvania Section (my favorite)

In the Metroidvania section we start with a dive into platforming physics and cover things like slopes, moving platforms, and autotiling. Next, we create 3 different enemy types (each with its own unique behavior) and a boss enemy as well (covering 2d skeletal animation and inverse kinematics). Lastly, we cover character upgrades, menus, pausing, and more in-depth saving and loading.
