Godot 4 3D Platformer Lesson #1: Let's Get Started! 

If you haven't heard: I've already recorded all 26 videos for this course. They're coming, just in my editing pipeline! 👍🎬 Thanks for your support and patience!

what a perfect time after Unity

I was hoping you'd start a 3D Godot series! You're still the best teacher out there.

I'm a dev manager that is out of development now but still code at home. I am volunteering at a middle school teaching CS concepts. Twenty years ago my wife enrolled my son in a summer school class where he learned Turtle(?) language. He is now a Sr DBA because he likes the data side of things. What you are doing here is FANTASTIC. Godot is a wonderful experience for beginners and even mid level programmers. Please, Please, Please keep up your good work.

Such a good time for a new Godot tutorial

An old timer senior software engineer on real time systems in C/C++ -and ASM86 and decided to learn game programing. Found your channel and did the first episode and had a lot of fun. Excellent lesson, clearly narrated and logical explanations. Looking forward to doing more. Thank you.

More of this please, more GODOT tutorials so we can say byebye to unity forever.

You should allow Godot to access the internet as it will show you assets it can download and install as well as online docs etc... so that is not just for online gaming. You definitely want to allow it access.

The legend is back with what the people need!! I'm hoping to publish a Godot game in the next 1-2 years PS to everyone, I've watched all of his previous Godot tutorials and they have been great

Unity decided to just torpedo itself, so great time for a new tutorial series since there will be a lot of new people getting onto the Godot ship now. 😅

So far so good, thank you for the introduction. Can't wait to see more! :) After 2 years in Gamemaker this is just what I need to get a fresh start here!

Hi!! I was looking for a tutorial for Godot and I found the tutorials for 4 years ago!! Im happy you made tutorials for the newer version, just saved my life!

This is the type of tutorial I wish I had seen when I started gamedev. Everything well explained, not rushed, not slow either and with chapters included.

So excited! Saw your prior tutorial a few years back and gained a lot. Still learning GDScript, but this will help solidify what I want to do for my games. Thank you!

Glad to see you again. Thanks for the video.

I learned a lot about Blender watching your videos in the past. And so I have returned once again to learn Godot from the master, this is exiting!

I can't believe, just today when I decided to get back to Godot! Welcome back!

I can't thank you enough for the godot 4 course I just recently started your godot 3 course and now I am switching!

oh dang dude I was following you since pre blender 2.8 it's so awesome that you are doing a godot tutorial!

Looking forward to this series thanks for taking the time

Hello BornCG! Great to see you still helping the game dev community! Thank you for your work! I finished the coin maze game and even added some music to the menu as an experiment. I took a break since I jumped on to tackle being a one man dev very intensely and I had to step back a bit 😅. I will be backtracking to boender as I went through the maze tutorial without having learned blender first. I need to learn to create my own models if I want to single handedly finish games. I have a music production and performance background (no formal education) so the sound effects and soundtracks I can confidently say I can handle as of now. I found an old laptop that I refurbished (a weaker lenovo thinkpad from 2015 that I brought up to 8gb RAM pretty much lol) I installed some pixel art software as well so you can see how I may have become overwhelmed quickly trying to learn that, game engines and their differences, not to mention CODING, which I have no previous knowledge of other than my experience with your tuts. I am jumping back on today but probably back on that 2D Zelda ish fox with a cape one I cant remember right now lol because I had already started it. I would love to get in touch with you as I am very invested in developing games. For my first original project I want to create an old school Metal Gear-esque stealth game. I am yet undecided as to the art style. I had decided on a project zomboid ish style but I am starting to think it may be out of my league as far as animations etc. I am willing to bring it down to any bit or style I can handle but definitely will be completing your blender and at least a couple more of your game tuts, I really just got worn out 😂! If there is any way I can get in better contact with you please let me know. I understand this is the comment section and it's hard to establish a line so if you want to shoot any advice at me I'll be following. Let me know if you need me to clarify my questions as my lack of experience prevents me from even formulating the appropriate questions! You do amazing work for the community, I can't thank you enough! ❤

let's gooo that series will be amazing

Excellent! Two thumbs up! Looking forward to this and thank you!

This was exactly the kind of intro i needed. Thank you

Great set of videos! Thanks so much for putting these together! I learned a ton!

lol I'm loving all the love Godot is getting recently because of the Unity.

Thank you so much for your detailed tutorials, I started with Godot thanks to your 2d Platformer Tutorial series. Keep it up! :)

Thank you for starting a 3d playlist!!! Love your content.

"Strike iron while it's hot", huh? :D

Hi! It's awesome to see you back doing new tutorials. In the future, would it be possible to create a beginner series in godot for a tower defence game?

Hilarious timing. Hope this does well, I'm learning Godot in my free time since we're kinda stuck with Unity for this project. Keep it up.

TY for making a 3D platformer series, I watched all the 2D platformer tutorials and learned a lot from them!😁

what a lifesaver

Been learning Godot for the past week with zero previous knowledge in engines or coding. Have managed to work a lot of things out myself, the GDscript language is pretty straight forward. After i've finished working on this 2D platformer learning project, im coming straight back here.

Oh my boy BornCG, thank you so much. This will be very useful for me since I wanted to make 3d games with Godot. (Especially zelda like games, 3d action rpgs or tps)

you do sound like someone who teaches middle schoolers xD you have very affirming and positive vibe in the way you speak. great video btw! i was able to listen and watch your tutorial while working with blender and later, i was able to remember everything you mentioned. it shows that with the right methods and attitude, one can teach to anybody. *thumbs up*

I've been trying to learn about coding and game creation for a bit. I was using Game Maker, though I had some trouble with it, and with a lot of issues popped up in 2023 for me that I couldn't really get enough time to play. I recently tried out Godot and so far it feels like it's a lot easier for me to grasp. I completed a small 2D game tutorial recently and I want to give 3D a try now. Thank you for making tutorials to help out dummies like me!

Yes!!!! The new tutorial!!!❤❤❤

Just subscribed. Awesome tutorial

Thank you very much for the content!

Hey dude i am currently watching your blender tutorial series and on god you are the best teacher and your explanation is awesome. Can you make more blender tutorial please like geometry nodes etc?

Learned a lot from your 2d platformer course, so Im certain this course will be fantastic aswell

We look forward to the next one and rest....please make more Gadot 4 Tutorials...this engine is becoming popular

Yeeees, nice to see you back right in time ! I have just started my own first 3D Godot project. No doubt I'll find plenty of useful tips in this series (did you really say 26 videos ??), Thanks for this and for all you have already done in the past.

Great tutorial! Very easy to follow along with and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

thank you. can't wait to get in to this one

XD Love the timing on this.

you're a very good teacher!! Thank you so much !😆

OMG, this is amazing

Perfect timing I was done with unity scripting and was about to give up on game development and then you came.

Great timing.

BornCG is back!

I knew somebody would do this , Glad it was you.

I just had to stop and leave a comment. As someone who has experimented with 2D game engines like Klik & Play and Multimedia Fusion I've also taken several years off of game development. I turned 40 this year and figured I'd take another crack at it but I've always been intimidated by 3D game development and 3D modeling since 2D is complicated enough as it is. But so far after discovering your video and finishing this first video I have to commend you with your approach to teaching. Not to disparage others but the other tutorials weren't clicking with me as they assumed the person to already know lots of unfamiliar concepts but your explanations are clear, concise, well-paced and perfect in helping me learn Godot but the added bonus is you mentioned Blender which I also have never used before. Thank you my friend and about to click start Lesson 2! 😇

I am from the Arab world and thank you for this course Thanks❤❤❤

Dude your a legend!

3D!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

return of the king

Awesome

Dreams do come true!!!

Please keep this going

Thank you for making these set of videos. You have always been a solid teacher. Do you have a timeline for when each video will be released. You picked an excellent subject 3D Platformer. Thanks again

good idea for series

coolest computer teacher I have ever had!

Thanks man

🔥

Thank you so much!

We missed you

Oooh this is exciting I'm currently taking programming classes and wanted to try my hand at making something simple but since I'm still new everything was a bit overwhelming so I'm so happy I stumbled across your videos! Thank you so much for this! I'll start here I was wondering 🤔 my dream game is to build a farming game they are my favorites you see do you know of anything that would help to start learning how to make one in godot?

Thanks godot wouldn't be the best game engine without you

Amazing

let's do this

Bro you are really very helpful and read every comment

Your my hero intelligent American teacher Colin.

i envy those middle school student, i'm sure your student are soo lucky to have you as their teacher..

You are the Best !

My wish came true!!!

Less goooooo

thanks!

This is the first time I’m seeing your videos after 3 years😭🤲

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Thank you. I am 13 years old. And I can finally make a game

Fun note-you can also launch the current scene with F6, or the whole project with F5.

ty ty ty :3

Hi! Does the fact that you began a new tutorial mean that you abandon your old 2d platforemer tutorial or you just postpone it for awhile?

Do you use linux ? Or its windows 11 , btw you're one of the great teacher available on the youtube...

Hey Colin! If i make a game based on your tutorial how much do i have to pay you for every install?

Hey just got notification. I want to start Godot 4 can we expect a complete beginer tutorial. i was confused b/w unreal and godot.

note due to bolth godot and blender being multiplatform and almost the same across platform most of this tutorial will work across os's. the main thing you would have to figure out is exporting. ANOTHER NOTE: bolth blender and godot are free on steam. i personally suggest the steam version of godot as it autoupdates.

I'm only really interested in developing 3D games in Godot, is it worth checking out and going through an extensive tutorial for 2D? Or does the logic not translate well between the two and I should go straight for this?

Just for the record the t stands for text so it means text scene

I have version 4.2.1 of Gadot and the new project button is no longer all the way on the right side like it is in this video, it's now on the left side under the Local Projects tab as "+ New".

What to start with? - Godot 3 Playlist or - This one

@BornCG I'm beginner. Can you please let me know How to add 'swipe' input method if I were to built it for mobile phone games? Thanks!

it just came in time cuz i was switching frome unity to godot cuz of all the drama thats happening

its good that you've gone from the very ground up but a little forewarning for people who have used godot before, you can probably just skip this episode

5:45, 6:14, 8:25, 9:15, 11:45, 12:25, 13:00, 13:38, 14:58, 16:00, 16:50, 17:40, 18:10, 19:10, 19:50 and 20:40

currently watching this while godot is having a panic attack and froze up

I want to use Godot4 but my pc is not up to date unfortunately so I'd stick with GODOT 3

Both of these programs are on steam btw.
