Glad to be of help! More tutorials soon!

@@lucassaturn-gamedev awesomeness! 💚

No worries, stay tuned for more C# tutorials!

Thank you! Hoping to make more Godot tutorials in the future, and the more views they get, the more time I can put into making the videos even better.

Not everyone may know it, so it's good to reiterate it for people getting started!

Perfect! Glad to be of help! More tutorials are coming soon- some that go into more depth and some that are more overviews. Cheers!

Cheers! I'll be doing one of these videos every month or few, so stay tuned and I'll share more cool tips and tricks!

I tend to only have a bootstrapper called from Autoload, and then to instantiate all of the additional things (like a pause menu, scene transitions, game manager, sound manager, etc) from there. Means there's less clutter and I control it all by code.

@@lucassaturn-gamedev Oh interesting. I personally like having separate Autoloads for each global instance like Scene Transitions and Pause Menus. I'm a visual person so it's easier for me to test individual scenes if it isn't all code.

​@@awfyboy If that works for you, then for sure! I do it in the bootloader as then I can have code that calls the things to initialize the boot in one place (versus in each of the scripts _Ready() functions). Could argue either way for which is better, but if separate works, then by all means!

Great tip! Thanks for sharing!

Glad to hear it was useful! Which did you already know?

@@lucassaturn-gamedev Tip 4: Autoload and Tip 5: Remote Scene Tree

Planning on doing these once a month I think (or something along those lines), so please stay tuned for more! In-between the tips and tricks videos, I'll be diving deeper into specific topics too.

Indeed! It's incredibly useful when you need to quickly traverse your scene.

Awesome trick I didn't know about! Thanks for sharing!

Those are some useful ones, thanks for sharing!

If you mean the scrolling background, that's not the game actually running, that's a shader! Shaders animations run in the 2D canvas view, even though the game is not actively running. If you take a look at my looping shader video, you can see as I type out the shader it affects the Sprite2D in real time in the editor (with the game *not* running). Thanks for watching! Feel free to subscribe for future tutorials on Godot.

@@lucassaturn-gamedev you just earned a sub 👍🏻 thanks for the knowledge drop!

Good point! Learning keyboard shortcuts is definitely something you do over time, rather than all at once.

Glad you enjoyed! More videos coming soon!

Thank you! Hoping to (a) put subtitles in for people to be able to read the transcript and (b) future videos I will likely slow down the pace. This video was moreso an overview tutorial than a follow-along one, so future videos will have a bit of a slower pace. Feel free to subscribe for future content, cheers!

Glad it was helpful! My shader knowledge is definitely lacking, but I had to stretch my wings as I needed this shader for a major project I'm working on (where tutorials online did not suit what I needed). Small projects to learn- I'll be sharing my journey as I come up with things needed for my game, and teaching how it works, so feel free to join me on this journey if interested.
