Big update! Have some code, and see how the game actually looks. Also note how I’ve edited the Godot settings to make it look more like Godot 3.

Really enjoying how this is clicking. Can guess what is going to happen in the tutorial before it happens and my coding is getting much much better. Player character can jump, fall, die. We have traps and spring boards.

Tutorial finished. Have sounds, a scrolling parallax background, a recording high-score function! Next steps might be to bring this up to speed with the one I made in Godot 3. I’ve changed the Godot 4 UI to make it nicer too

#Godot #GodotEngine #IndieDev #SoloDev #GameDev

Previous experience of doing a tutorial for this game in Godot 3 has been helpful doing a slightly different course in Godot 4. Loving Godot 4 workflow, I still believe the Godot 3 UI looks nicer.

While ago I made a game in Godot 3 following a tutorial. I’m now making the same game in Godot 4 following free tutorial from same instructor - it really highlights the stuff #Godot 4 does better than #GodotEngine 3. I still prefer the retro look of Godot 3 though #SoloDev #IndieDev #GameDev

#Godot #GodotEngine #IndieDev #SoloDev #GameDev

Project complete! We have sound effects, particles, an enemy that follows a path…I’m fully getting onboard with this tiny game process. One more 2D game and I’ll start remaking them without tutorials.

#Godot #GodotEngine #IndieDev #SoloDev #GameDev

Have added a UI that updates when player defeats enemies/loses lives. My only criticism of this tutorial is the assets are very “Newgrounds” type of thing, I prefer pixelated things. I will probably remake the other game in Godot 4, sans tutorial…

Finished the course! Ok it was Godot 3 but I’ve still learned a lot. Really loving the simplicity of Godot and am even coming up with a dumb 2D idea I might make.

#Godot #GodotEngine About halfway through this Godot 3 course and I must admit again I very much enjoy making smaller 2D games - they finish quicker and I learn a lot lot more. Will finish this soon #IndieDev #SoloDev #GameDev

Have almost finished this old Godot 3 tutorial, and a lot of the coding transfers to Godot 4, and the workflow is p much the same. Learning is no longer a chore. More small 2D games coming soon!

Felt a bit Godot 3 so I made Pong. Was also feeling a bit Godot 4 so I continued the 2D course on it. Finally getting my head around #GDScript and it’s only taken just over a year?

Coming soon on this #Godot #GodotEngine #IndieDev #GameDev #Solodev - stop player rotating when stationary, add a gun that follows the mouse
Still ill but had some energy to #Godot #GodotEngine #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev Decided to stay in 2D but go out of my comfort zone and try a Vampire Survivors type game in #Godot4 inspired by a video - have had to figure out a couple of things myself but am happy with results

Quite intense today as I’ve hurt my finger but decided to Godot anyway. This gamedev.tv course by Kaan Alpar is awesome because it breaks down GDScript in a much easier way for me. Also another small game (Metroidvania)
November 15, 2025 at 4:59 PM
#Godot #GodotEngine #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev update!

Decided I need to follow advice and make more 2D tiny games to really get good at Godot. Originally had written off this course but have come back to it to get better at scripting. Really enjoying understanding more. Here is Speedy Saucer!

So I thought id be clever and copy the Godot 3 project and then upgrade it to Godot 4 and that didn’t work either, argh #GodotEngine #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev #SoloDev

#Godot #GodotEngine #Solodev #IndieDev #GameDev

Been doing an FPS, and I did a little of it in Godot 3 and I *really* liked the crunchy psx pixel aesthetic. I’ve tried to do a similar thing in Godot 4, and notice it doesn’t look as good. Any ideas what I should do to change this?

#Godot #GodotEngine #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev

Finished Frogger as part of this #Udemy course, have also branched out to another course purely for curiosity’s sake - learning some new stuff, which I think will work for #StarAllVampires I love the lighting effects!
November 7, 2025 at 9:42 PM
Funny thing I find about #Godot #GodotEngine is I actively look forwards to being able to work on it, mess around on it, watch tutorials in my spare time when I don’t have access to a pc - I never got any of this with Unreal Engine
November 7, 2025 at 7:06 PM
#Godot #GodotEngine #SoloDev #IndieDev #GameDev

Making more progress, Frogger game is actually somewhat playable and I’m getting the hang of signals and layers. Have even messed around with another course about Godot 3, solely because I’m a bit of a completionist sort. More soon!

Another #SoloDev #IndieDev #Gamedev update using #Godot #GodotEngine for a #Udemy course

Player is now animated and you get a congratulations message in the debug when you get to the goal. I’m also working hard to try and do the challenges - failing a lot, but always learning!

#IndieDev #SoloDev #GameDev #Godot #GodotEngine

Annoyed at projects where I’ve realised that I may have jumped too far in complexity (where I’m blindly copying code rather than understanding it) I’m understanding #GDScript better in smaller games such as this WiP Frogger 🚧 🐸 🚧 in this Udemy course
