Preface
Godot Engine is the most popular free open-source game engine on the market. With the advent of Godot 4.0 and the release of many hit games made in Godot, such as Dome Keeper, Brotato, and Case of the Golden Idol, this popularity only grew. There is no better time to learn how to use this wonderful game development tool than now.
Learning how to program and use a new game engine can be a daunting task. However, this book will guide you step by step through all the aspects of creating your own game from scratch, from the basics of writing our first scripts in GDScript to more advanced topics.
We’ll learn how to program in GDScript, the custom language of the Godot Engine, which is easy to learn yet very capable and performant for game development. Then, we’ll go over all the ins and outs of the engine’s intuitive graphical interface and discover everything about its flexible node-based approach to game development.
