Godot 4 Intermediate Game Development Course (2025)

Create a start scene UI in Godot featuring a mining dungeon title, a play button, and a looping pickaxe animation using a tile map and animation player.

Create a character selection script in Godot, wiring buttons for players 1–3 and a back button, toggling screens and initializing global variables for chosen character, attack, mining strength, and speed.

Create a new Godot player scene, add a sprite body with hair and weapon, configure area 2D hitboxes and collision shapes, and set up a one-shot timer for hurt states.

Create an enemy node in a 2D scene, add a sprite with skeleton animation, set up collision shapes and an area 2D hitbox, and configure a timer with auto start.

Create and configure enemy animations in Godot by adding an animation player, implementing walk left and right, a death sequence, and a red flash hurt animation with a color rect.

Create a scene for floor areas and add a tilemap layer to design a cave floor, then attach a static body with collision shapes to define borders for area one.

Build a ladder node in Godot using a sprite, area2d, and collision, then script area_entered to load a new level and remove the current one.

Create a heart pickup in Godot by building a heart scene with a sprite and area 2D, then script area entered to boost health up to three and delete heart.

Fix bugs in mining RPG project, including weapon image not updating and points not increasing. Update weapon visibility, lock button logic, UI button rendering; verify by playing and leveling up.

Explore how to build a mining RPG in Godot, including multiple scenes with tilemap layers, a three-option character selector, and procedural floor generation when descending ladders.

Create a tower defense game in Godot by building three tower types, drag-and-drop them onto platforms to defend against enemies, and implement a continuous enemy wave generator along a path.

Plan a tower defense game by outlining the start screen, desert background, enemy route, and scripts for towers, bullets, lasers, money, and enemy movement, placing towers on blocks.

Build a tower defense UI by attaching a UI node to the tower and creating an upgrade panel with a title, back button, level upgrade buttons, costs, and lock indicators.

Create a reusable bullet script in Godot with move, speed, look_vec, and target, then use ready and physics_process to aim, move toward the target, and remove off-screen bullets.

Create a zap laser script in Godot implementing move, speed, and look_vec targeting, with physics updates and area2D movement; set up zap variants as scenes with area2D and collision shapes.

Create and attach an enemy script, define health and speed, move along a path, trigger game over at the end, handle bullets and lasers, award money, and count mobs killed.

Create and place tower platforms in Godot using Area 2D and collision shapes, assign a group tag, and position them on dirt patches to support tower defense gameplay.

Master tower defense fundamentals by building multiple tower types, dragging them onto platforms, and deploying an enemy wave generator to defend the path.

Connect a Godot project to GitHub to manage commits, rollbacks, and collaborations, and set the project public to enable pull requests.

Celebrate mastering Godot through three projects—a tycoon farming game with saving and time-since-last-play data, a mining rpg, and a tower defense with drag-and-drop towers using tilemap layers.

Explore next steps in Godot game development by pursuing higher level courses that teach more complex game designs, keeping you trained and ready to deliver more to players.
