Godot Version

Mobile OR 4.7, seeking advice on version

Question

I love the puzzle aspect of HuniePop, and I’d like to make a SFW game similar to it. Unfortunately, I know literally nothing about code. All match 3 tutorials that I’ve found are outdated and I cannot follow along with them. They also don’t perfectly replicate HuniePop’s mechanics. My question is can anyone help me find updated tutorials to follow along with or can anyone personally help me? I’m able to be contacted by discord.

I would love the convenience of developing on mobile, but I’m open to arguments that say I should use windows instead as long as they explain themselves.

As aforementioned, I’ve tried looking at tutorials, but they call for settings that no longer exist and I just simply don’t know what to do in exchange for what’s missing, so updated advice is needed.

I would also love advice on which coding language would be most suitable for this kind of project. Since I know nothing, I’d be learning any coding language from scratch.

Certain features that tutorials I’ve seen are missing are things like passion, stat upgrades, etc. Guidance on implementing these kinds of features would be wonderful.

If anybody has any advice at all, I’d be very appreciative. I understand this is somewhat open ended, but I’m at a loss. Explain things like I’m five. Thank you very much.

Use the exact Godot version the tutorial uses. The main concepts you learn will transfer well to newer versions of the engine. Don’t expect tutorials to build you a complete game.

Set the filter in youtube so it only shows tutorials made in the last year or so. Stick with GD script because most tutorials are made in that and it’s very easy to learn.
