I’ve been using Godot for the last month. It’s been so fun to get back to game development as a hobby (it’s how I got into software development). I’ve tried many other game engines in the last few years but Godot just really ... works for me. It just clicks. Love it. Excited to try the new version!

Do you have any suggestion on best learning path/resources for someone with a similar background and goals?

  Udemy has a few good tutorials, but on Youtube check out Tutemic's code architecture course[0], HeartBeast[1], GDQuest[2], GameFromScratch's Godot tutorial series[3] and CodeWithTom[4]. And of course on the blue website /r/godot and /r/madewithgodot [0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRHN_WEulLc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRHN_WEulLc [1]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrHQNOyU1q6BFEfkNq2CYMA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrHQNOyU1q6BFEfkNq2CYMA [2]https://www.youtube.com/c/Gdquest/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/Gdquest/videos [3]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDEcP8Mc-7s&list=PLS9MbmO_ssyDk79j9ewONxV88fD5e_o5d https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDEcP8Mc-7s&list=PLS9MbmO_ss...

    I'll also add in the Godot recipes by Kids can Code, don't let the name fool you they have great miniature tutorials for implementing all sorts of common things in Godot https://kidscancode.org/godot_recipes/ https://kidscancode.org/godot_recipes/

  Yes! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAbG8Oi-SvQ&list=PL9FzW-m48fn2SlrW0KoLT4n5egNdX-W9a https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAbG8Oi-SvQ&list=PL9FzW-m48f... I really enjoyed his style and he does a good job hitting all the important points.

  If you want text, and something very simple, then I would (and did) start here: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/step_by_step/your_first_game.html https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/step_... It was a very simple process, there were one or two typos I found in the code that an experienced programmer should be able to resolve themselves if they haven't been fixed yet. I haven't done more yet since but would like to. Unfortunately playing games is too fun.

That's exactly my thoughts on Godot. It's not just fun the first week, it stays fun with a large game as well. Refactoring is not bad at all and it's really easy to maintain all the knowledge in one's head.
