Question

Hello, I recently started taking game development more seriously and I’m wondering about which approach to take to structure my game:

  1. Should I try to organize the my games folders and files by myself(scenes/scripts/assets/helpers) and create my own architecture
  2. Look for pre-defined template on the internet

I would like to hear your opinions about this.

No, you can create your own project structure as you want. But keep it so that would readable for you.

Well, it’s all a preference. If you have no idea where to start, you can try to find some templates. You’ll end up with your own style anyway.
I like the approach DevDuck showed in one of his videos and I’ve tried implementing it ever since, maybe it’ll fit you as well:

I keep my project structure in this way, you can do it too:

- Assets
- - Textures
- - - texture_1.png
- World
- - World.tscn
- - World.gd
- Player
- - Player.tscn
- - Player.gd

I like to keep the first letter of each folder to capital, but if you want, you can keep it to lowercase.

Separating out scenes/scripts into different structures becomes very confusing with larger projects in my opinion. I do believe separating out assets is very useful however.
