Project Rocket Boost Course

Good afternoon friends! Since I stepped away from the stream for the week, I figured it would be a nice touch to write up a dev-log entry at the end of each day. Today was a basic introduction to Godot and the engine specifics, as well as an introduction to GDScript. I followed along with the first third of gamedev.tv's "Complete Godot 3D" course and learned terms like "Tweens" and "Export Annotations".

For the most part, I was familiar with the majority of subject matter, but these videos have a way of teaching you something new every 2-3 minutes if you're paying attention and not skimming the topic. So I took my time, and about 30 minutes ago I finished their first game "Project Boost".

Overall, it was a good first day, and tomorrow I'll pick it up again. The second part of the course will have me making a tower defense game while covering gridmaps, pathing, UI elements, and more.
