Howdy. I’m new to the whole world of godot, I don’t know how to use this forum as best as possible. I need to ask for videos that cover many of the mechanics not just for a rookie.
Thank you very much for any answer.
You’ll need to be more specific. And if you are new, don’t expect to do the whole thing in one project. See what you need for your project in general, and then choose one (and I mean only one) aspect to work on. Make a small project focusing only on that aspect. When you do that, you’ll have a better idea of what you need to learn next. Do the same for the next thing, and repeat until you feel comfortable starting something bigger.
Also, you should probably look at the docs starting here: Introduction — Godot Engine (stable) documentation in English.
Best of luck.
Thank you a million. I know how to program with python and I want to program in the next 5 years a similar Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake style game.

No problem, you could start here: Introduction — Godot Engine (stable) documentation in English (it’s not the same link as above). There you’ll find key concepts, Godot’s features, as well as a tutorial for a 2D game, which I highly recommend you follow. That will give you a basic idea of what you need for a 2D game.

If you want free content, StayAtHomeDev on youtube has a ton of godot tutorials. I also knew python when I started with Godot, it’s similar to GDScript but not an exact clone. I had an entry level python cert, and then after following along with StayAtHomeDev’s FPS tutorial series i knew enough about the engine, GDScript and everything else that I was able to keep developing past the scope of the tutorial series with minimal issues.
Just like with python programming, reading documentation should be your best friend. Read docs, don’t fall into tutorial hell (when you can’t make anything unless you are following alone), follow a tutorial series, after every episode, any individual thing you didn’t understand, research it. If you don’t know what a SubViewPort is, search it on youtube and watch a video where someone explains it.
If you have a couple bucks to throw around GameDev.tv has a ton of courses on Godot that are all heavily discounted, I just got my first one and plan on starting it later this month.
Best of luck, just remember when you are on the Forums here, be specific, paste your code if you need help troubleshooting it, etc. Godot is fun and pretty simple, you’ll have a ton of fun.

Going straight for that might be a bit difficult. I’d honestly start with something simpler so you know how to best structure things before moving onto once you have mastered things better.
