How this book is different
This is the only book that you need to get started with Godot fast and to enjoy the journey without the frustration. This book includes six chapters that painlessly guide you through the necessary skills to master Godotβs interface, use its core features, and create and navigate through realistic 3D environments.

What this book offers
This book includes all the features that you need to get started with Godot and game development:
- Learn without the headaches: This book assumes that you canβt be expected to learn everything at once; this is why you will build all your skills incrementally.
- Make your dream of creating your own games come true: This book ensures that you stay motivated by giving you the right amount of information and challenge in each chapter; we all know that itβs hard to keep motivated when learning a new skill, so this book always contextualizes the knowledge with an example (so that you feel itβs relevant), and also makes sure that you get to challenge yourself, if you need to, with optional challenges present at the end of each chapter.
- Progress and feel confident in your skills: You will have the opportunity to learn and to use Godot at your own pace and to become comfortable with its interface. This is because every single new concept introduced will be explained in great detail so that you never feel lost. All the concepts are introduced progressively so that you donβt feel overwhelmed.
- Create your own games and feel awesome: With this book, you will build your 3D environments and you will spend more time creating than reading, to ensure that you can apply the concepts covered in each section. All chapters include step-by-step instructions with examples that you can use straight-away.
