Godot 2D Tutorials
While I’ve been struggling to find work for over a year now, I’ve been keeping fresh by doing tutorials in various computer related disciplines. I’ve been brushing up on my React skills by reading some great books mentioned in a previous post, but I’ve also bought a Godot tutorial pack from https://www.gamedev.tv/
I started the 2D tutorial a while ago before Cozy Cretaceous and put it down when I had to focus on that. But now that I have some time before Christmas, when it seems as if the job hunt can take a bit of a pause, I’m using my time to work on it again.
Overall the 2D tutorial is very simple, and the core concepts are of course all things that I already know, but having a guided tour through the Godot development experience is very nice. If I were to give it a rating, I would probably give it a 4 out of 5.
I only remove one point for not having a summary of the changes made at the end of each lesson like Unity has at the end of all of their in-house tutorials. I think that’s a nice touch and a way to keep things fresh for the learners.
So check it out if you are interested. I think it’s definitely worth the price of admission.
I need work
On the job hunt front, Toronto has been a desert of employment ever since the large swath of layoffs started last year. I picked a really silly time to give up my previous job, but I had my reasons why I needed to resign.
I’m hoping things start to look up in Ontario, but with how things are going, I feel as if it is only going to get worse before it gets better.
That said, does anyone have tips for applying to jobs overseas? Do you have any ideas for places that are starved for talent? Let me know in the comments!
Gotta Be Productive
