little bit hard to understanding in gdscript. I mean there is other way to write that code or not, if yes why use that way. More about tween, append, etc everything which is darker blue

Veramente ben fatto. Insegnante molto preparato, bravo nello spiegare, con calma, tutti i concetti che tratta e con un inglese davvero molto comprensibile. Bravo!

By Daniel Ferguson on 9/7/2025

I'm experienced dev, skipped directly to projects. I just completed the 'Flappy Bird Clone' project. I had fun following the instructor, and building this project.

By Captain Bravo on 6/25/2025

I really like how the basics are taught in detail through repetitive learning using examples.

By Kieran Stuart on 6/11/2025

Really great introduction to godot, teaches you about a lot of different nodes and explains the code well, the 3rd game feels a bit rushed but still managed to understand it all, really happy with my purchase

By Paweł Ciosek on 5/31/2025

Great course! Full of practice by doing different types of games, I learned a lot! Thank you so much for a great content! What I would improve is addition of a quick overview of what we should achieve after a lesson, so student can try to prepare solution first a then checkout how it should be done, that would make the course even better!

By Angelica Perez on 5/26/2025

Yes great information for references

By Sirawich Khonkhayan on 5/24/2025

Really jump start for beginner! instructor has great explanation for every point that can help me as a beginner.

By Abdulrahman Aldosari on 5/16/2025

This is probably the best Godot 4 course you will ever find, I'm surprised that the instructor managed to learn this much of Godot 4 considering he is mainly a Unity instructor who I took course from him before. Here, hoping he will not stop with this course only and try to convert the unity platformer course with jet ability in Godot 4. As soon as I saw your name, I knew it will be of high quality as usual, keep up the good work. Thank you for your effort.

By Paul Zapken on 4/20/2025

great course with a good foundation to get you up and running. I am coming from a short stint with Defold, and I am finding the scenes and UI work a little better to grasp, but when i go to publish will be the real test, had trouble with Defold's publishing, was not happy with the finial result.
