Hi everyone, I have always been toying with the idea of making a game but never went serious enough at it. I´m in the artist side of things and have made quite a few 3d models in Blender across the years, but my profession have nothing to do with programming or the likes of videogame making.
So, for years I always thought that once I went for it I would use Unity 3d and hoarded tutorials, but after the shit-storm they created I decided to stay as far as possible from it. Even if there are tons of documentation of it, which was the aspect that attracted me most, and the easiness of use, I turned to GODOT. Which is pleasantly drama free and has advanced quite lot in its later versions (not many code samples and documentation around though).
Also the forums I used to roam have become ghost towns (Open GameArt and Free Game Dev) and I´d love to enter an active community to expose and discuss my brain farts.

    Hello there \o first time Godot (and generally game engine) user
    I always wanted to make something in the gaming sphere but only recently I managed to finally start trying. Only wish I had the confidence to to so sooner.

    I have still a lot to learn even just on the object-oriented programming side of things, but so far it's being fun and it's great being able to gradually see things coming together.

    This seems a great community with an excellent positive vibe, hopefully someday I'll be able to give back to it.

      Hello fellow developers! My name is Ivan and i am a self taught 3d modeller. Just recently joined to this awesome comunity =) I pretty impresed how is this engine is user-friendly =) In some time, i will be able to post my game project that i curently working on!
      p.s. here is my portfolio if you intrested: Artstation

        zoohan Hey, welcome! It's cool to see the retro stuff you have in your portfolio. Looks great!

        Yo! I’m pretty new with working in game engines but I have a decent background in 2D animation. I’m eager to learn and cut my teeth on this new engine! Got lots of ideas and can’t wait to make them happen!

          AriaofScarlet Hi there, welcome! It's a great feeling when you are eager to bring your ideas to life, and you have the tools to make it happen!

          Greetings everyone !

          I am a software engineer more data-oriented but in my free time I spend lots of time learning new tech stuff! For the last year or two, I have been eager to develop this game based on ancient Chinese fantasy and it led me to Godot which I found super useful for my project.

          Hoping to learn as much as I can around here 😎

            rafidini Hey, welcome to the forum! Cool setting for the project you have in mind!

            Hello everyone! I've just started learning Godot and GDScript. I've been working on my first 2d adventure/walking sim game for a while now, mostly creating the narrative, making 2d assets, and prototyping. I was learning Unity before but the engine is a bit overkill for the type of game I am aiming at, so I hope to carry on with Godot from now on. I'm glad I found this forum 🙂

              Hello everybody, I'm new to programming and making games, did some tutorials for godot but I see that i have a long way ahead, I'm a Teacher and my maing goal is make some mobile educational games for my students and if they're good later on put them in Playstore. 😃

                Chola Simmons here, from Africa. I've been following Godot (and downloading it every single time there's a new version) but never really made anything worth sharing.
                I figured joining a community and speaking publicly about my ideas might help me get things moving out of my head into the 3D planes of the game industry!

                Currently I'm interested in a top-down 2.5D space "shooter type" of game, it's all concepts and prototypes for now but I wouldn't mind collaborating with anyone out here 😎

                  Hello, I'm Memori. I have no experience at all in making games or programming. I've been following Godot's tutorials but if I had to make anything from scratch myself, I don't think I could for now. But even just from the tutorials was a fun experience for me so I want to learn more and make games. It would be harsh journey juggling with my job but it'll be a worthwhile journey I'm sure.

                    Hi guys

                    I'm new to Godot

                    I'm intrigued by Godot, because I once saw GD Quest, youtube channel that teach Godot with cartoonish yet simplistic and easy to engage.

                    Hope to learn and share a lot with you guys

                    Thank you

                      Memori

                      Big welcome!

                      Earvin I'm intrigued by Godot, because I once saw GD Quest

                      Yeah, GD Quest is awesome! I can also recommend their paid courses, which are really well made and put together. Also fun to follow.

                      Hi everyone!

                      I've been using godot as a hobby for about 3-4 years now, and it has been quite the journey. I come from a professional programming background, being a web developer by trade for roughly 7 years. My interest in game development started in college, trying to learn the ways of the very new Unity engine for a college course, and found it too difficult to work with. Thanks to godot, I have been able to learn so much more than I did in the college course I was enrolled in back then, and have actually managed to finish my first game last year as part of godot wild jam!

                      This year I have a few goals, one of them being to get comfortable creating games in 3D, and another is to be more active here now that the forums are back

                      I'm excited to see what everyone is up to around here! 🙂

                        Hello Yirazk from Spain here. An old programmer that would love to learn how to make games, and want to start with Godot. Wish me luck
