Godot Version

Godot Engine v4.5.1

Question

Hello Godot community,

I’m just getting started with Godot and looking for a beginner-friendly roadmap or starting guide, especially for someone new to game engines.

I’d also love to know if there are any ready-made 2D or 3D demo projects that I can download and test, to explore gameplay flow, scenes, scripts, and visuals.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated :slightly_smiling_face:

Welcome!

Check the demo projects repository: GitHub - godotengine/godot-demo-projects: Demonstration and Template Projects

If you want to check game samples in that repository, check the 3d/platformer, 3d/truck_town and 2d/platformer demos in priority. Most other demos have a smaller scope and focus on showcasing how to use specific features of the engine.

Start Here: Your first 2D game — Godot Engine (stable) documentation in English

Then Here: Your first 3D game — Godot Engine (stable) documentation in English

These two tutorials in the documentation orient you to the Godot editor as well as the basics of making games, which will help a lot when looking at the repos the others gave you.
