I started a few days ago learning @godotengine I don't want to be blinded by the "follow your passion" mantra. I wanted to build a real skill. So for Q1 of 2026, my focus is to share what I will learn. Small wins. Foolish Mistakes. All of it.


Finally fixed the animated sprite flip! I also added the score option! #gamedevelopment #godot #godotengine


I made character more agile by fixing the gravity and adding double jumps #gamedevelopment #godot #godotengine


As a beginner game developer, I love this.

It's funny that there's an error...yet the code is still working. Lol. #gamedevelopment #godot #godotengine

Added some movements to the enemy...but I keep on dying instead This is a bit challenging! #gamedevelopment #godot #godotengine

UI/UX isn’t my strong suit, but I got the background added to the game. I’ll level up my skills on this by Q1. #gamedevelopment #godot #godotengine

Started the day on game theory. Most people grind technical skills and stop there. That’s a mistake. The theory is what tells you why things work and when they don’t. If you want to build anything that lasts, practice has to be deliberate. #gamedevelopment #godot

Finally! I managed to get the respawn feature working! #GodotEngine #gamedevelopment #gamedev #learning


Stop waiting for the perfect moment, approval, or the "right" circumstances. Most growth happens while you're in motion. Learning. Stumbling. Figuring things out along the way. The people who get it? They show up after you've committed, not before you've even started.

Finally! I was able to add a moving platform and disappearing pickups. Note: In this video, I used a monster as a pickup instead of a coin. lol #GodotEngine #gamedevelopment #gamedev


I removed the collision to some assets like the water. #GodotEngine #gamedevelopment #gamedev


For weekend, I will take my time to learn game theory and play different games on @Steam Any suggestions? 👀


Finally, it’s moving! Sheesh, there’s still so much to learn... but hey, progress is progress. At least it's moving. Lol. Now, onto polishing that tilemap painting. #GODOT #gamedevelopment #gamedev


Tile maps are easy to do, but hard to polish. As you can see, the tiles have gaps. What I'm trying to do is learn the principles first, then improve on it as times goes by. Consistency is key. #GODOT #gamedevelopment #gamedev

Finally, I successfully created a fully functional menu, but I'm having trouble making the player move within it. Tough journey, tbh. But worth every second. #GODOT #gamedevelopment #gamedev


I’ve created a simple menu button. I’m planning to make the sprite move down to the menu when clicked... and that will allowing players to switch between the Start Game and Exit buttons. I’m excited to add more details and texture to it. #GODOT #gamedevelopment #gamedev


Alright, I’ve cracked the basics of running and jumping physics. Took me longer than I’d like to admit. Honestly, I wish I’d paid more attention to physics back in high school. It would’ve saved me some headaches! Next up: the Menu. #GODOT #gamedevelopment #gamedev


Sharing a small win and my ‘big’ mistake that took a few hours to fix. 😂 I got stuck because the animation wasn’t loading... and it turned out the 'autoplay on load' in the spirit frames tab wasn’t turned on. lol. #GODOT #gamedevelopment #gamedev
