  • Make games, you will come out a game developer from this course, and, will be able to produce both 2D and 3D games.
  • Transferable knowledge: Python, GDScript, GML are very similar to other languages, which, allows you to learn other languages rapidly if you have this experience.
  • Learn to write servers and clients, multiplayer/networking is a highly valuable skill to have in the game development world, as not many people know how to network.
  • GameMaker and Godot aren't just used to make games! They can even be used to make software! If you know how to make a game in these game engines, you already know how to write software!

Course Description

Welcome to The Game Developer Bootcamp. If you're looking to be not just a gamer, but a game maker, you've came to the right course!

Learn To Work With

  • Godot Game Engine 3 - 2D and 3D engine

  • GameMaker Studio 2

  • GDScript

  • GML

  • C# (Coming In The Future)

  • Python 3

Building a game doesn't have to be difficult, in The Game Developer Bootcamp we will teach you everything. If you know absolutely nothing about programming and about game development, this is the course for you. We welcome all skill levels to our course!

The course will start out by teaching you how to code in Python 3, with your first program where you print Hello World. You will receive the most valuable information in the course, by learning to network by writing a server and client that can communicate with each other. We learn Python as it is nearly identical to GDScript, which has only slight differences. You will then use your Python skills in Godot Game Engine 3. We will go into detail on the node system, which, is a challenging, but an incredibly rewarding object system. Then, we will be building a platformer demo, where will build a player, and AI.

COMING IN THE FUTURE

We will be building a 3D physics demo which will teach you how to use the 3D functions in Godot. C# will also be taught in the course, using the Mono Version of Godot. You will also get a glimpse of VR in Godot.

Finally we will go into GameMaker Studio 2, we will go over the features of GameMaker Studio 2, with your already obtained knowledge of Godot, going through GameMaker Studio 2 will be easier. We will be building a multiplayer platformer, making a GameMaker Studio 2 client, and a Python server from scratch to communicate.

Art assets, and quizzes will be available in the course! Check out the curriculum for more details!

Seeing a python server communicating with a game helped me understand what servers do. Seeing my teacher wrestle with a program to make it work helped me understand what programming is.

Like the way instructor communicates concepts in this course. I think this is a good course even if you know the basics you can skip around to find a place that is good for you.
