This new tutorial series is designed to help beginners learn the Godot Engine step by step — without getting overwhelmed. Each episode is short, focused, and covers only one essential concept at a time.

In this first episode, we’ll:

• Install Godot

• Create your first project ("Hello Godot")

• Save your first scene

• Launch your very first game (even if it’s empty)

📺 Watch the full episode here:

Why Godot?

Godot is a free, open-source game engine that makes it easy to create both 2D and 3D games. It’s lightweight, beginner-friendly, and requires no complicated setup — yet it’s powerful enough to be used in professional projects.

That’s why it’s perfect for newcomers and indie developers alike.

What's next?

By the end of this episode, you’ll already have a working Godot project. In the next episode, we’ll write our very first lines of code with GDScript. Step by step, we’ll keep building toward making real games.

About Godot Essential

Godot Essential is created by BolterSquad, a small indie studio making games and sharing knowledge. The gameplay footage featured in this series is taken from our mobile game Grave Strikers (available on Android and iOS).

If you’d like to support the series, the best way is to check out our games and share the tutorials with other aspiring developers. 💙
