If anyone's looking for a quick intro to Godot 4, you can take a look at our video series: https://quiver.dev/tutorials/create-your-first-godot-4-game/. Disclaimer: this is offered by my company, but the tutorial is free and the code and assets are liberally licensed.

This move by Unity isn't completely unexpected if you've studied their financials. Smaller devs are basically dead weight for Unity, so it seemed like them putting the squeeze on them was just a matter of time. Bottom line: don't count on a public company to do the right thing if you're not helping their bottom line.

We have a free tutorial for Godot 4 that takes you from the start to a complete game in about two hours. You can find it here: https://quiver.dev/tutorials/create-your-first-godot-4-game/.

If you're looking for a simple, free intro to Godot 4, you can take a look at our course: https://quiver.dev/tutorials/create-your-first-godot-4-game/ (also on YouTube).

Hi all, I'm excited to share a few clips from Curse of the Tomb, the game we'll show you how to build from scratch in our first premium 2D course for Godot 4. This has been an exciting collaboration between two developers, an artist, and myself. The course will cover everything you need to know to create most platformer, Metroidvania, hack-and-slash, and side-scrolling RPG games. We're expecting the course to cover 10+ hours of content and will include beautiful assets we made just for this course. The course will be ready in a few months. The only prerequisite is some programming experience and understanding the concepts in our first course. Let me know what you think!

We have a free 2-hour course that takes you through the basics of Godot 4 to create a simple, but complete game: https://quiver.dev/tutorials/create-your-first-godot-4-game/ (or if you prefer YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZbXSd3dhiY&list=PLWoyLDmwvJl1ZY6DmsEJbgsAmJhAlPKG\_) The only requirement is some programming experience. We developed the course while Godot 4 was still in alpha, but we've noted where the code or interface has changed. Hope that helps! Disclaimer: I'm the founder of Quiver.

Happy new year, everyone! Here are the results of Quiver's first game jam, where we tasked participants to extend our [intro tutorial](https://quiver.dev/tutorials/create-your-first-godot-4-game/) in any way they wanted. We gave out cash prizes to the winners and donated money to Godot for every submission. It was a blast to play all the entries and our team was really surprised to see how people made the game their own. We're hoping to do another game jam in the beginning of February, so please join us at [quiver.dev](https://quiver.dev).

We have a free tutorial for Godot 4 that holds your hand from the basics to a complete infinite runner game. You should be able to get through it in an afternoon.

So, I'm playing around with https://quiver.dev/tutorials/create-your-first-godot-4-game/

I just finished the Quiver tutorial and is trying to gradually hack it into a game of my own. First obstacle: How to make the player move left and right when in the air.

There's no post or pre processing stack. You cannot access world normals, motion vectors, depth buffer and such. You can only access the color, by creating a viewport.

Multiplatform support sucks. Mobile official plugins are dead [0], the package size is way heavier than Unity, you've got performance problems and nothing can assure your game will even be approved in Google Play. Android dev heavily requires plugins (Admob, Play Games), so unless put your game at a fixed price, you're not accomplishing anything. There's also no console support.

But wait, the Godot leaders made a company called W4 to fix these issues! They'll bring in console support, official mobile plugins, hosted multiplayer and such. But it's an investor funded company, and they stated that they will sell the stuff. Sooo, the "it's free and open source!!!!" advantage over Unity that everyone loves doesn't seem that great now.

I could talk all day long about Godot issues. But let's just sum it in "It's just Gimp, if compared to Photoshop". It's NOT a "It's just Blender, if compared to Maya".

I've lost all hope on the project, it's stil years away from reaching feature parity with, at least, Unity 5. But I hope Bevy does better!

Hello, I have downloaded the plugin from https://github.com/godotengine/godot-google-play-billing/releases and I have placed it in res/android/plugins but I don't believe it is working. I am testing it with the following code which never gives any output:
