Godot 4 Awesome Help

This is a list of helpful Godot 4 tutorials, resources, and help. It started as I went through a some tutorials and sorted them for later use, but then I thought it might be helpful for others. The general gist is, that if I need help on a specific topic, this List should be helpful.

What goes in this list?

Generally everything that is helpful for making games with Godot 4, focusing on the latest version. Mainly these are tutorials.

What does not belong in this list?

However, this is a personal curated list and I make a cut at some point:

• Video tutorials, that have bad sound quality or no audio commentary.
• Video tutorials that try to speed run the tutorial are not for this list.
• Tutorials, that are hard to follow.
• Dev logs are not for this list.

Contribute

If something is missing, create a pull request or just an issue. The same goes for bad sorted stuff.
