Here's FIFTY Godot 4.x tips to speed up your workflow! These are general purpose tips that are aimed at all skill levels. There are also a bunch of niche tips included that you probably wouldn't have known about, even if you've been using Godot for a long time!
I've been using unity for game development for the past few years now, but due to the recent unity debacle, I decided to look into other engines to broaden my scope. That's when I started learning Godot.
I really like to the point tips videos that compile a lot of tips quickly, I always look for these kind of videos whenever I'm picking up a new software or playing a new game. I tried looking for similar videos in the godot space, but was disappointed that I couldn't find any, that's when I figured that I could attempt making my own!
This was a LOT more work than I initially envisioned, but it was really fun to work on thus video. I'm really happy with selection of tips in the video too, I'd like to think that I haven't included ANY filler tips, but even you already know a couple of these, I guarantee you'll learn something new!
I hope these tips have been helpful to you! Consider liking the video and subscribing if you'd like to see more videos like this!
Happy GameDev-ing!

Watched your two "50 tips" videos, and learned a lot of new things. Thank you!
A coroutine video would be great! You're great at explaining complicated stuff in Godot, and I really appreciate it!
A few I already knew but these tip are a literal goldmine of Godot knowledge. Keep up the great work man.
Thank you! I'm glad they were helpful!
Mind blown in the first 10 seconds, this is amazing
sounds like people need a tutorial on how to slow down playback and use the pause/rewind feature on CZcams. your tips videos have some gold in there, thanks for the fantastic knowledge dump
Good video , but i have doubts regarding coroutines . At 4:58 you said calling a coroutine normally makes it run in parallel. However i think in fact when you call a coroutine it will execute up to the point you use await and only then it returns back to code block that call it , so i dont think its in parallel but asynchronous. In that example means that print ("ready has finished executing") will only execute after you got to await inside the my_coroutine method.
Thanks for the tips!!!! I love being able to write code that makes stuff show up in the Godot editor's UI, like warnings, assertions, and documentation. It's great that we can make our tools interface with it so well, such that we dont have to always/only check what someone else's tool does in another script or on their github page, when we can just hover over them or get notified automatically.
Yeah godot is really modular, it's pretty neat
I wouldn't mind a video on coroutines
Man, this is jam-packed with useful stuff! I'll definitely be rewatching this video a few times to try to improve my workflow.
Awesome info! Learned a lot. Thank you. And yes please on co-routines!
Love your content. quick and informative , Great video! I second the Await and coroutines video!
Thank you :)
Actually, I found your explanation on coroutines pretty helpful; I did need to replay it twice but then it clicked. Even so, more learning about coroutines is never a bad thing. Honestly a lot of these tips are gold, but I do especially appreciate 17-18, 22, and then 28 onwards (and I love how you included the classic distance-squared instead of distance optimization tip)
great videos! I appreciate both in the series. pacing is definitely not too fast. thank you for saving us time!
For number 7: Yes, do use onready for this. I had a super annoying bug recently caused by not having onready. It used the default value of the variable instead of the one set in the inspector
Another brilliant video! Thank you. 🙂 And yes, I also prefer your style of quick explanations. 👍
Thank you!
Sick bro!
Great video
this was at precisely the right pace A++ go team
Again, great tips. But now the music makes it extra hard to follow and hear what your saying.
17 FPS? That feels like Prog Rock ;)
These are some great tips, but the music is definitely too loud in order for me to understand your accent. If you have a script for the video, turning it into closed captions would be a great idea!
Just leaving some feedback; your music is a little noisy, I can't tell if it's decibels or if it's just got a lot going on, but mayhaps find some simpler background tracks for future vids?
Feedback taken!
Good video. Did have to pause. Callables remain absurd.
I could not get to work the 26. Mandatory Export script.
I set exactly as you did. Even put the script in auto-load. I thought that this would warn every script I have. I think I misunderstood xD Could you provide a little more clarification on how to use this?
It's used to display a warning if the field was not set, has nothing to do with autoloads
Did you mark the script as @tool? You might need to restart the editor/scene sometimes for it to reflect
Since you asked: quicker is better. You’re already stuck with being a video, which is slower than text.
Good to know, thanks for the feedback!
I also second this. I'm infatuated with this rapid-fire style; it gets straight to the point without wasting our time.
@@gonderage That was my goal, yes!
displaying warnings should be made easier imo..
I want explanation clips, such as how to make the player dig
That's not a tip, that's a specific tutorial
I've used Godot on mobile for a while. It wasn't good.
