Obviously building games without tutorials to escape #TutorialHell is a massive massive step for me, even if the games are basic. But I prefer making notes from tutorials and then trying to remake the games. Some tutorials out there leave a lot to be desired too #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev #Godot

Decided to revisit the first #Godot #GodotEngine tutorial course I ever completed. My understanding has increased massively since undertaking specific tutorials and making notes to escape #TutorialHell Feeling more enthusiastic for #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev since my heart really lies in 3D

I’ve only gone and fucking crashed!”

Third game of #20GamesChallenge is Frogger. Yes I’ve made this before, but to escape #TutorialHell we use our trusty notebooks and try to optimise things a bit. Player character is fully animated, have used onready variables and world boundaries #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev #Godot #GodotEngine

#Godot #GodotEngine tutorial completed for this Frogger clone, I will soon recreate it using only these notes as I escape #TutorialHell by utilising the #20GamesChallenge #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev

Figured out what the problem was with my Frogger game and sorted it! Back on #20GamesChallenge to escape #TutorialHell on my #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev journey. This will be complete soon, I disagree with the instructor for some of the methods (I prefer separate scenes for all objects) #Godot

I’ve made a separate node for playing the background music and now the music doesn’t restart when you retry the game #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev #Godot #GodotEngine #TutorialHell

Almost finished this infinite runner as part of my #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev journey using #Godot #GodotEngine Player can’t infinitely jump anymore, figured that out myself. Scores are stored. We have SFX and music. I don’t like the player death animation looping or the music restarting

Moving out of #TutorialHell! This is being made purely with my notes, and I’ve even added an animated background which wasn’t really covered in the original flappy bird tutorial. Player has a pot obstacle to run into or jump over as well #Godot #GodotEngine #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev

#20GamesChallenge first game, #FlappyBird, completed, using only notes I made during a #Godot #GodotEngine tutorial to escape #TutorialHell Game has been exported, we have hi-score storing, and sound effects. Now am working on an infinite runner #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev

My escape from #TutorialHell continues with my notes and remaking Flappy Bird. Sometimes I’m tempted to try a different Game Engine but then I remember just how easy #Godot #GodotEngine is for #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev I should have adopted this approach ages ago but eh I was just as slow in bjj

Again escaping #TutorialHell using #Godot #GodotEngine This game was made using notes made whilst watching a tutorial and not referring to the tutorial at all. Really enjoying the progress here, see my chicken scratch notes! #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev

Escaping #TutorialHell (though I did have to reference one 😞) but made more progress in #Godot #GodotEngine - more referencing my previous project. Player rotates when they move and when they die they don’t move anymore. I’ll sort the spawner/score/HUD and then finished #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev

Thinking the next step in my #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev journey with #Godot #GodotEngine is remake smaller games I’ve already made and see how much of them I can do. It’s necessary to escape #TutorialHell Then I’ll maybe try to do a Doom clone again?

Out of #TutorialHell and messing around a bit in #Godot #GodotEngine

That red Koopa turtle was made by me editing the green one in #LibreSprite And I’ve programmed the individual enemies. Still a way to go for this #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev

More of me trying to make my own little Mario project in #Godot #GodotEngine WITHOUT TUTORIALS as I escape #TutorialHell We have a world boundary (that works) and the player moves -properly-. More coming soon #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev

I’ve taken the plunge and am trying to make something small in #Godot #GodotEngine only using tutorials as a reference #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev join me as I escape #TutorialHell

Someone asks, "I trapped in tutorial hell what can I do?"

Well, you should stop following tutorial videos and start developing a real thing. The easiest thing is to develop a personal website because you are free to do whatever you want with it. #WebDev #Frontend #TutorialHell

Just want to say I’m *really* enjoying #Godot #GodotEngine I think im breaking out of #TutorialHell and I’m also getting more confident using assets I get from other places - because if you’re doing tutorials in a #Skool group, surely different assets make your project stand out a bit? #GameDev
