Let's learn how to make a 2D platformer in Godot.
In this series I won’t just show you the final code. I will also teach you why we do as we do.
We will be creating platforms, moving the player, jumping on enemies and much more.
In this video, we’re diving into 2D platformer movement! We’ll start by adding a few platforms to our level, add basic platformer movement and then add small tweeks like acceleration, input buffering, and coyote time to improve the overall feel of the controls.
Godot 4.4 is finally released, so that is of course the version I’m using in this video.
The project files for this tutorial are, as always, available through selected tiers on Patreon.
