I’m a total newbie when it comes to game development - I only have experience creating a few working games with the clickteam fusion 2.5 -I only made the conditionals, pretty much everything is handled by the program itself.
I do have experience with PHP, a little c++, python. I’m a web developer so I work with html+css+js and sometimes work on legacy php projects, I work with databases and so on. With that being said though - I’m a visual learner. I can’t read too many documentations or my mind drifts away, it’s weird that i’m in this field having said that. My question would be - do you guys know any video tutorials/streams where people create small games with defold and explaining things as they go? Searching on youtube didn’t fetch me any good results unless i’m missing videos with less views.
Here’s a handful of sources to get you started. I’d recommend starting with GamesFromScratch’s videos.
There are also project tutorials for platformers, shooters, movement, etc.
And then there is also the Defold Youtube which has a few live tutorials.
I’m with you in the learning aspect. I’ve probably barely scratched the surface, but I always check the API to study how functions work and how I can utilize them.
If you take a step back, their Learn page hosts lots of helpful pages.
The Engine is in the Lua language, so also checking out native Lua and studying a bit about it will help you in the future.
Yeah, there aren’t a lot of videos about Defold. You could check out the Examples. They are extremely short, have active/interactive versions on the page, and cover most of the basics.
