Want to create a 2d game, but how?

[worldly nimbus]

I recently found out about Godot, and it seems interesting but I’m totally new with no knowledge about how it works or its capabilities yet.

I wanna make a 2d game, where characters can move around in the map and reach to other points where they will be prompted something and they can reply to it. This should be a web app technically. But I don’t know how I can achieve apart from knowing Godot will be helpful somewhere or the other. But how exactly, what do I have to do, what things will I have to learn, how to do what and more doubts like these.

Here are a few things I would wanna do

1. Creating characters
2. A map where these characters can move around
3. Adding Functionality to it, when it reaches a particular position show a prompt message
4. Creating users - assigning them characters

Thank you for your time

go on itch.io, search for "learn gdscript from zero" it's a good starting point

Thank you, keep grinding

[worldly nimbus]

Oilright, I’m gonna check that

[worldly nimbus]

Why did you referred the gdscript as a starting thing?

[sterile zenith]

bc it teaches you gdscript and you should learn the programming language of an engine before learning the engine

just imo

Okay sounds good to me, I also heard it is similar to python

[sterile zenith]

yeah that's true, it was really easy to learn since I already know python but it's also great for complete beginners!
