We hope the video helps people on their gamedev journey!

GDevelop, a powerful free open source game engine, can be used to create any 2D game you can imagine. 👍

This video should serve as a model for all future game development courses. The pacing, editing, examples, highlighting, coverage and focus on important concepts, all sprinkled with just the right amount of humor helped ensure that it was engaging throughout without getting bogged down with too many details. I felt it gave the viewer what they needed to get up and running without wasting their time.

Also (and possibly most importantly) there was no overlay of video of some person talking in the corner of the screen. I hope presenters in the future looking to make video tutorials take note. This video is how it should be done. 🏆

GDevelop is such an undiscovered gem, thanks for making this!

[HelperWesley]

Even though I know the content, I'm still excited to watch it, just to see how people react to it.

I really hope this helps people on their game dev journey. 👍

I've just completed this course and created the Asteroids game! This is one of the best tutorials I've ever completed so far. Can't wait to make my own games!!

Ive used many "open source game engines" but this one is finally really good that I can use without being confused where I can code an object XD, or where you can only export to a crappy little console that you not only have to make yourself, but also have to download content for. It doesn't even come with games! Gdevelop fixed all the problems that I had with these "free open source game engines" and actually gave me what I wanted. (Thank you so much @Gdevelop!)






Tip: NEVER use Makecode, Scratch, and unity/unreal for commercial 2D games. You will or get confused with what you're doing, or how to create an executable on Win, Lin, and Mac.

well, I'm already lost on 1:38
I'm using gdevelop 5.1 desktop app and there is no file search box to find a file

[Lisa-jtww]

This was really well made. I was looking for something like this, with structure and starting from the beginning.

[tomschaeper]

I was so frustrated with Gdevelop until your video! It showed me a lot of things that I had not noticed.

[Helpsoo]

Who didn't even know about this platform .?
