In this unit will design a 3D game using the Godot game engine.
Start by forking the starter project. If you don’t have one already, you will need to create a GitHub account first. Then use GitHub Desktop to clone your copy of the project on your computer.
You may want to change the Local Path, the default is going to be something like /User/username/Documents/Github/3D_Game_Template. I recommend creating an MEA-300 folder on your Desktop so it’s easy to organize your projects. You can change the Local Path to /User/username/Desktop/MEA-300/3D_Game_Template.
Once you have the project open in Godot, create a new scene, add the default Player, and begin designing. I will update this page with videos from class with more instructions.
