EVENT DESCRIPTION:
Join us for this LIVE Intro to Godot 2d Game Design Workshop!
If you are a complete beginner to Godot and making games, or just want to brush up on your skills, this workshop is perfect for you! We’ll cover the basics of Godot, a free and open source software for making 2d and 3d games. Godot is similar to Unity but does not operate on a “freemium, JK not freemium, JK takebacksies” model. Instead Godot is owned by no-one and is instead developed by a non-profit and is free to use forever!
The end result will look like the event photo with pre-made assets that will be available for download. If we have time we might also cover a goal to reach + win message and maybe some quick and easy things like a jump sound effect. Going forward we’ll just provide the previous workshop’s entire project in a zip file, which will include all the assets and code!
OPEN TO BEGINNERS:
Can you draw a stick figure? Well then, you are qualified to attend this event!
