Course Overview

Ever dreamed of creating your own epic 3D role-playing game? Now’s your chance!

Join us as we guide you through building a large-scale RPG in the Godot engine. You’ll learn to bring your ideas to life, levelling up your dev skills in the process.

We’ll start with the essentials and tackle the fun stuff: crafting attacks, abilities, and a levelling system to make your player character truly shine. By the end, you’ll have a fully playable RPG, complete with gear, enemies, and jaw-dropping environments.

Building a game this size sounds intimidating, right? No worries! We’ll guide you step-by-step to create a fully-fledged RPG in Godot, from scratch. You’ll also learn the secret sauce behind pro-level Godot skills.

Ever wondered how to make your character stronger across levels? We’ll teach you how to use resources to manage player stats and create that satisfying "level-up" feeling players crave. Power up your skills and your hero at the same time!

RPGs are all about killer gear. You’ll master inventory systems, item equipping, and weapon damage. Plus, you’ll make sure players can see their hero evolve with each shiny new sword or piece of armour they equip.

Animations bringing the game to life? Check! We’ll dive into animation trees and state machines, so your characters don’t just move—they flow. Hook animations into gameplay to make every attack and action feel impactful.

From bone attachments to global illumination, we’ve got your back with advanced techniques that will make your RPG not just playable but downright gorgeous. Make those levels pop with lighting that wows even the pickiest players.

Stuck on complex interfaces? We’ll teach you how to create dynamic UIs that update with player actions—whether it’s equipping items or tracking stats. Build interfaces players love to use.

This course is perfect for intermediate Godot devs or anyone who’s taken our Complete Godot 3D course. If you know the editor and can set up scenes, this is your chance to level up.

Stuck? Never fear. You’ll have access to a supportive community and a crack team of teaching assistants. Whether you’re debugging or dreaming up your next feature, you won’t be on this journey alone.

The Godot engine is blowing up (not literally!), and now’s your chance to jump on in. Grab your keyboard, your imagination, and maybe a cup of tea—it’s time to get creating. See you in the course!
