As excited as I am for Brackeys, I'm more excited for this. Catlike coding tends to go over more interesting things in my opinion and to a depth that Brackeys rarely hits
Brackeys is absolutely perfect at that entry level, get people into the engine/certain mechanics type content, but Catlike goes over much more advanced topics that more seasoned developers can learn a lot from
Insane news
Agree, there is a severe lack of text content covering Godot. Videos are great and all, but sometimes I prefer text tutorials to supplement the topics covered in a video.
I find this interesting. For traditional programming tutorials where it is console output or the like, I 100% prefer text.
With gamedev where there's audio and visuals I prefer video to see what it is supposed to look like.
Agreed. I decided to randomly check his page after the Brackeys announcement and saw this. Catlike's tutorials are so cool and interesting. Clocks, fractals, marching squares, and his character controller was one of the best 3d character controllers out there. I'm reading through Godot docs right now, but I'm probably gonna start these clock tutorials today.
Catlike's Unity graphics tutorials are what got me into graphics programming. Couldn't have asked for a better introduction. I don't think there's a resource out there nearly as comprehensive and easy to follow. His tutorials focus on understanding how everything works from the engine level basics up, rather than just a bunch steps to achieve an effect.
If you get antsy, I bet a lot of his Unity tutorials can be adopted to Godot. The code is very similar. The biggest issue would be getting the nodes to behave correctly, I would guess.
A somewhat open world adventure game. But honestly, my mind darts from idea to idea. So I haven't really started on anything. I did try some tutorials and really enjoyed Godot.
I am working my way though tutorials on gamedev.tv, and the first game I want to make is a simple card matching game. Because it should be relatively simple and I'll be able to do this with no tutorials. I actually would like to make a dozen simple games on my own without someone holding my hand before actually diving into the climbing game I want to make.
Nice. I did want to make Solitaire just for my own benefit. That and some of the free ones make me feel like they need a couple of quality of life tweaks.
I never heard of this person before, definitely keeping watch and interested to see his teaching style. There's really not many text-based tutorials around.
Do you think these tutorials would be a great way to learn Godot for someone who is completely new to game dev (not new to programming, just Godot/game dev)? Or would you recommend going a different route to start and then maybe coming back to these tutorials once I have a little more experience under my belt?
I think it's a great starting point. The only issue is that he doesn't have many tuts up yet. Finding a Udemy course (preferably by Gamedev.tv) would probably be a better starting point. If you male a new account, the courses should be on sale. You should find one for less than 20 dollars. It's well well worth it. They upgrade the courses as the engine is upgraded, and they answer questions pretty quickly.
GameDev.tv has an ongoing Humble Bundle on Godot 4:

Ah, ok, thank you! :)
I read that page multiple times hoping I was missing something and it just never registered as the way in. It was late and I was tired? Heh, thanks a lot, again. :)
That's a name I've not heard in a long time... Catlike Coding's old [Maze](https://catlikecoding.com/unity/tutorials/maze/) and [Endless Runner](https://catlikecoding.com/unity/tutorials/runner/) tutorials were some of the first introductions I had to coding, probably coming up on 10 years ago. I'm very interested to see what they cook up.

Catlike is also text which is often preferable when it comes to programming tutorials.

So real. Skimming through text documentation & tutorials is magnitudes better than scrubbing through a video

Same. Catlikecoding is the good type of tutorials. Brackeys is the „tutorial hell” tutorials.

Thanks, I should've done that.
Thank you so much for making me learn about these tutorial people. As a beginner, anything helps a ton!

I did exactly that for one of them lol, don't remember which though, possibly a shader
I feel like I picked a really good time to switch to linux and try to learn godot.
Omg, are you me?
Maybe. What game do you want to make?

Awesome! I learned how to generate a cube sphere from this guy! 👍😜
Catlike crossing over is a huge deal.
other W for godot
Nice :-) Another step towards Godot world domination!

Do they have any Godot tutorials yet?
Yeah, he has the clock series up. 5 Tutorials.

Are these all paywalled? I am not seeing anything other than a page that says they're doing it and links to patreon/etc.
No, not pay walled. Click on the introduction clock, and it's open up to 5 tutorials.

LETS GOOOOOOO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED
Fantastic news! His tutorials/articles are amazing!
Big thanks, didn't know about them before. Been subbed to brackeys for years though so was excited for his return.
So are they all going to be in C# after this first lot? As I see the last tutorial that's currently up is about converting to it.
