I already finished my class outline and also created the class in the "Teach" section of Skillshare. I will start recording this weekend.

- Class outline for "Make Games Without Programming using Godot"

Class description

In this class, you will learn how to make 2D games and art experiences without programming, using the free Godot game engine with its drag and drop visual scripting features. Your project will be to come up with a game idea, refine it and then make it with Godot!

You will learn game design, basic concepts of programming logic, Godot Visual Script, how to find or make assets for your game, how to export games made in Godot and how to publish them in Itch.io so everyone can play your games.

You don't need prior experience to follow this class, the only requirement is a desire to make games and fun experiments and a computer with any operating system since Godot runs everywhere! This class is aimed at those who are looking to get started in game development or those interested in Godot.

First, you will learn what is the Godot Game Engine and what can you make with it. Then you will learn the different ways of how you can make a game with Godot. Then we will dive into Game Design, how to come up with game ideas and how to refine them, after that you will learn how to find assets for your game and a brief overview of how to create your own assets, from art to music to sound effects.

Then we will design the game that we will be creating in this class, find some assets for it and dive in straight into Godot's Visual Scripting to create our game! This is a hands-on class, so without further ado, let's get started!

Class Project

You are going to design, create and export a game with Godot and then publish it to Itch.io so anyone can play it.

1) Game Design: Ideas and Concepts

Using the game design knowledge that you gained in this class, come up with or find some game ideas and then choose one of them (you can use the idea generators that I show below). You can also choose known but simple games such as snake, Breakout, and Tetris and make a clone.

Then, create your Game Design Document or outline: describe what are the mechanics, the win and lose conditions (or no conditions - remember: there are no rules!) and the overall flow and elements of your game.

2) Assets

Decide whether to create your own assets or use public domain assets, if so, find the assets related to your game.

3) Make, create, develop, test, have fun!

Start Godot and make your game :) Remember, if you get stuck you can find help in the documentation, ask for help in the Godot community (links below) or even ask help here in the Community tab.

4) Export and publish

Build the game binaries with Godot (I recommend exporting to Windows, Mac, Linux, and Web) and then distribute and publish the game! You can create your developer page and publish your games in Itch.io.

5) Share with us!

Post your Game Design Document and a link to your game page here! Let us all play and rate each other's games, and most important, let's have fun and learn together :)
