# Overview

## <mark style="background-color:green;">About This Project</mark>

This here is the simplest 3D game tutorial series out there made with Godot 4 and GDScript.  🐝

In this series, we make a 3D Endless Runner that aims to teach you how to make a game from start to finish, and ultimately show you all the things that you need to know as a beginner 3D Godot developer!

### <mark style="background-color:purple;">Project Overview</mark>

During this project, you will learn how to:

* Create an immersive level world with music, SFX, and environmental objects such as Fog, Lightning, Sky Spheres, Camera, and DOF.
* Create and download animations for a 3D character using Mixamo and Animation State Machines.
* Create a procedural world consisting of different parts - such as (static) obstacles, (moving) obstacles, platforms, and air platforms.
* Create collectibles consisting of coins (score boosts), flags (which decrease game time), and gems (for jump boosts).
* Create a levelling system where the spawn chance and difficulty of the game increases as the player progresses.
* Create a Saving and Loading system using ConfigFiles.
* How to test, debug, and export your game.
