In this video tutorial, we cover the basics of the Godot Engine. I specifically try to keep the perspective of somebody coming from JavaScript, because that's the background I had when learning Godot, but all beginners are welcome.
This is the first of a two part session. In this first video, we set up a new project in Godot, learn the basics of Nodes and GD Script, and set up a simple Scene that we will build on in future videos.
