Godot just added a Unity-like game editor to debug the game while it's running! (mastodon.gamedev.place)

How did you get your start with Godot? Dumb question I'm sure, but game engines stress me out with all the coding involved :'(

I recommend starting with basic YouTube tutorials, then do a game jam. The great thing about game jams is that it is zero pressure. The only goal is to try to make something playable. It doesn't have to be grand in scale, you don't have to write perfect code to make change and growth easier. Just slap something together in 48/72 hours or 2 weeks, depending on the jam, then move on.

It sounds so easy when put this way 🤔

If it's the coding that's stopping you, you might check this out:

First I got an older book for 3.6, I thought maybe following a book is what it takes for me. Then, following this book, I could get my claws in development for longer then 2 hours, and spoke to more folks around me about my project and ambitions, and someone recommended a couple Udemy courses. Found one I liked (Firebelley Games dev), and that got me developing and learning a lot more efficiently. It's still an insane time investment so for me that means I need at least a weekly schedule or I'll just let it go and do the things that give me more instant gratification instead.

Context: I did about 6 months of programming courses in high school and already knew I could grasp the idea of it. It was really just starting up and then really keeping it up.
