DaveTheCoder That's a normal fish with fins and a tail but no legs.
Could you base the tutorial on that?
Make the tail fin really wide and act as feet.

That's silly. This needs to be a workable solution.
I take my genetic engineering very seriously, I assure you.
Basically look at what devs are scared of doing the most and you have your answer, shooter tutorials as well as third person games are a dime a dozen as an example so you should explore other niches
. RTS games
. CRPG party based games
. AI/Navmesh behaviour
. Driving games
. Space Sims
. Fighting games
. Simulation games
. Building games
. Shaders ( Especially fancy effects )
. Flight simulators/Flying mechanics
. Turn based strategy
This list is a hint for other would be tutorial makers by the way I'm going to be doing what I can to try and help out with AI I think and strategy games though I just post my stuff up and do a write up as video tutorials aren't really my style.
There's tons of Godot 4 stuff that need tutorials
Tweens, for example
There is no good tutorial on shaders. Especially for Godot. The wonderful The Book of Shaders is not finished and the work on it is not moving.
DaveTheCoder Something I've requested several times, without success, is how to design a bicycle that a fish can use.
It's easy to do — you take the fish, then threats, blackmail, psychological pressure. And if all this is on the level — she leaves on any bicycle to get rid of it all. Not to design a bicycle for the fish, but to force the fish to use the bicycle. Yes, that's how things are solved in Russia.
I know bicycles were mentioned as a joke but it's surprising there are more tutorials out there on how to do basic cars etc. than weirder stuff maybe like motorcycles.

It was not a joke.

Motorcycles (two-wheeled vehicles) are much harder to create. More parameters have to be considered. It's not really for beginners, unlike a car.
Regarding shaders, there is these great tutorials (as well as various game related tutorials) from RB Whitaker.
These are for XNA/MonoGame mostly but general concepts still applied and I guess shaders in Godot also use HLSL (I didn't tried myself yet).
It it is the case, these shaders are very step by step and help doing our own quite "quickly".

Wikidot is not available in Russia and Belarus any more
The site opens via Tor, but that network doesn't work very well here.
Thanks for the link! Of course I will study it, but transferring it to Godot, I suspect, will be a pain.

Godot has it's own shader language loosely based on OpenGL's GLSL. It's a bit simpler for the sake of ease of use.
Thanks for all the suggestions, guys!
Since everyone hates my bicycling fish idea, here's another: A tutorial showing how to minimize the possibility of someone reading or stealing the code from your exported game.
I got the idea from this thread:
PSA: In 4.0, exported builds contain your code comments.
I'm not sure if that is even possible lol
I know that it's not impossible to extract code from an export, but there are techniques to make it harder. That's why I used the term "minimize". Or were you referring to the fish?
This thread goes everywhere
To get back to OP question, you have to ask yourself first what do you master ?
It's often to see people succeeding (by accident mostly) to make something work and they believe it's worth writing a hollow tutorial which doesn't explain any issue we might encounter doing the same thing, and doesn't explain either most of the common errors done, doesn't give tips to better understand and insight of what happen under the hood when it's applicable, and so on.
I'm tired of junks which pollute search results, usually blog posts with a code, no explanation, pretty common on popular topic like android app for instance.
Oh I'm not good at anything. Maybe I shouldn't make a tutorial then.
Then make a tutorial for people who aren't good at anything.
