Description
Want to build your own action-packed roguelike auto-battler, even if you’re new to coding?This beginner-friendly course walks you step-by-step through creating a complete 2D game -Script Survivors- using Godot 4 and GDScript, Godot’s powerful and beginner-friendly scripting language. With no prior coding or game development experience required, you’ll learn by doing, and build a polished prototype from scratch!
What You’ll Learn:

Build Core Gameplay Mechanics: Implement auto-attacking weapons (like spears and scythes), enemy spawning systems with adjustable difficulty curves, experience (EXP) collection, and a dynamic player leveling system with impactful upgrades.

Leverage Godot’s Scene and Node System: Organize your game using scenes for modularity (e.g., player, enemies, and world scenes), nodes for game objects (CharacterBody2D, Sprite2D), and timers for precise event scheduling.

Create Engaging Combat Systems: Design health and damage mechanics, including collision shapes for precise interactions, invincibility frames, and multi-target weapon upgrades for satisfying gameplay.
Add Polish with UI and Save Systems: Build intuitive user interfaces (e.g., high score displays, level-up screens) using control nodes and implement a JSON-based save/load system to track high scores for enemies defeated and survival time.

Apply Real Game Development Patterns: Learn transferable skills like encapsulation (e.g., GameManager and SaveLoad scripts), resource management (e.g., PlayerContext), and project organization for scalability to larger projects.

By the End of This Course, You’ll:

Have afully playable 2D action gamewith enemies, upgrades, and a main menu, ready to showcase in your portfolio.
Confidently navigateGodot’s editor, from the project manager to the inspector, and use tools like the AnimationPlayer and atlas textures for pixel-perfect visuals.

Be equipped tocreate your own gameswith a strong foundation in Godot 4, GDScript, and game development workflows, ready to tackle new projects with ease.
