Open source 3D game dev with Godot for beginners - Wolfenstein 3D from scratch

Godot Game Engine is free and open source software released under the permissive MIT license:

• You are free to use Godot Engine, for any purpose
• You can study how Godot Engine works and change it
• You can distribute unmodified and changed versions of Godot Engine, even commercially and under a different license (including proprietary)

This event will show you how to get started creating basic 3D games. It will be more of a workshop format - I'll demo on my screen and you'll be able to work alongside me as we show the ins and outs of the software and it's scripting language, GDScript, which is quite similar to Python.

We'll be trying to build a replica of Wolfenstein 3D from scratch.

As always, you can join our Game Dev room on Matrix (#gamedev:glasgow.social), the invite link is https://glasgow.social/matrix - do join if you get a chance, no matter what level of ability - I want to try and create a community of Glasgow based game developers established - the room currently has three developers who have games published on Steam, as well as a lot of beginners keen to learn.

The event is free (though there is a donation tin) and there is free tea and coffee - you are welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks too.

This is going to be a regular monthly event - we'll repeat the basics and people who have been before can resume where they left off or help the new people get started.

We'll be hosted by The Gamer Club which is in town, just off Bath Lane, see here for directions: https://www.thegamerclub.co.uk/gettinghere

Remember to bring a laptop to get the most out of this session.
