How to Build a Complete 2D Farming Game an 8-Hour Tutorial Series - Godot 4.3 - All 25 Episodes

This tutorial series includes 25 episodes that guide you in creating a 2D farming game. Throughout the series, you’ll build various test levels to develop characters, game objects, scenes, and components essential for your game.

I've adopted a Test Scene First approach to develop this game, which is a common software design methodology. This approach allows us to build each game system independently, making it easier to focus on designing, developing, and testing these systems before diving into complex levels and the full game build.

By prototyping each component in a test scene, we gain the flexibility to troubleshoot individual systems whenever unexpected behaviors arise, ensuring a smoother development process. Additionally, the rapid prototyping benefits of a test scene approach can significantly accelerate game development.
