Weekly Update: Playable Demo and Main Chapters

I’m excited to share the latest major update to the Godot Platformer Essentials Cookbook. This update brings some incredible improvements that completely transform how you’ll learn and build platformer games with Godot Engine.

What Makes This Different

There’s nothing like this on the internet.

If you’re a Godot Engine user looking to learn the foundational techniques to create games, you’ve probably found yourself redoing things, reinventing the wheel, and searching through that tutorial you watched three days ago just to find that specific part where the instructor shows a line, a command, or an interface element.

Fear nothing. All the original chapters from the Godot Platformer Essentials are now availa…

What Makes This Different

There’s nothing like this on the internet.

Fear nothing. All the original chapters from the Godot Platformer Essentials are now available so you don’t have to look anywhere else.

Three Major Improvements That Change Everything

Let me walk you through the three key features that make this cookbook the most comprehensive Godot platformer learning resource available.

1. AI-Powered Search Gets You Answers Fast

We now have fuzzy and AI search to find exactly what you need in the course’s content. No time wasted scrubbing videos on YouTube anymore.

Whether you’re looking for a specific function, technique, or concept, the search understands what you’re asking for and points you directly to the relevant content. This means less frustration and more time actually building your game.

2. Complete Content in One Place

With all 12 major chapters, you have everything to build a complete platformer game within a week.

The cookbook covers everything from basic movement and jumping mechanics to advanced features like wall sliding, dashing, and combat systems. Each chapter builds on the previous one, giving you a clear path from beginner to confident platformer developer.

3. Interactive Demos for Every Chapter

You now have a demo to play each chapter’s feature and understand how to apply it in a concrete project. And better yet, right in the chapter’s page.

This is huge. Instead of just reading about how a mechanic works, you can play with it immediately. This hands-on approach helps you understand not just the code, but how the feature feels in an actual game.

Why Interactive Learning Matters for Game Development

One of the major problems with courses on most online platforms is that they are for generic learning. You can’t experience the process. You read and try to reproduce on your end.

That’s fine for most media. You can showcase the outcome of a drawing lesson by showing a PNG or JPG image. Students don’t have to interact with it to understand how it looks. Same thing goes for videos, music, and even code.

But for games, you have to play. You need an interactive experience to feel how it will turn out as a real solution for what you’re looking for. Passively reading or watching a video doesn’t provide you the whole experience of playing with the feature.

That’s why having playable demos embedded directly in each chapter is a game changer. You can test the mechanic, understand how it feels, and then learn how to build it yourself.

Try the Complete Demo Now

You can test the Godot Platformer Essentials demo on the cookbook’s itch.io page, in the cookbook’s main screen, and at the top of every chapter so you can try out the chapter’s content before diving into learning. Go ahead, give it a try:
