Game Dev Journey - Setup

Game Dev Journey

Create a new Godot 4 Project.

I named mine Tiny Swords.

Use Compatibility Mode Renderer.

As the name implies, compatibility renderer works on the most devices.

The mobile renderer is for mobile games.

Forward+ is for higher-end graphics using the Vulkan driver.

Clean up the FileSystem by deleting the godot icon

Add four new folders for Scenes, Scripts, GUI and Assets

We will create our Main Scene in the Scene folder.

This will be the main container for the game - our game world.

This will be the first scene to run when we play the game.

Click on 2D Scene to create a Node2D.

You can also Click on the + and choose it from there.

Extract the Tiny Swords Pixel Assets into your assets folder

Rename Node2D to Main

Save the Scene as main.tscn

Save it in the Scenes folder.

Add a Sprite2D node as a child of Main.

In 2D Workspace, select Sprite2D and press F to focus.
