50 Game Changing (Ha!) Godot 4.X tips In Under 10 Minutes!

Watch ANOTHER 50 tips! ⬇️
   • 50 Game Changing Godot [4.x] Tips Wit...  

Here's FIFTY Godot 4.x tips to speed up your workflow! These are general purpose tips that are aimed at all skill levels. There are also a bunch of niche tips included that you probably wouldn't have known about, even if you've been using Godot for a long time!

I've been using unity for game development for the past few years now, but due to the recent unity debacle, I decided to look into other engines to broaden my scope. That's when I started learning godot.

I really like to the point tips videos that compile a lot of tips quickly, I always look for these kind of videos whenever I'm picking up a new software or playing a new game. I tried looking for similar videos in the godot space, but was disappointed that I couldn't find any, that's when I figured that I could attempt making my own!

This was a lot more work than I initially envisioned, but it was really fun to work on thus video. I'm really happy with selection of tips in the video too, I'd like to think that I haven't included ANY filler tips, but even you already know a couple of these, I guarantee you'll learn something new!

I hope these tips have been helpful to you! Consider liking the video and subscribing if you'd like to see more videos like this!

Happy GameDev-ing!
