Your First Finished Godot Game: Scope, Plan & Ship a Small 2D Game (PDF)

For educational and personal use only. A planning workbook with invented examples; you make your own game and your own decisions. See kitson-workshop.pages.dev/terms.

Start a lot of Godot projects but never finish one? Pick a game small enough to finish, plan it on one page, and ship it in 30 days.

See it first: this workbook is part of our Indie Game Dev Kit, shown in our free review video.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Why games don't get finished, and how to pick a tiny concept (one verb, one mechanic, one screen)
• A one-page game design document and scope math that counts the work before you build
• A 30-day plan with a cut list, playtesting with friends, a bug list, and exporting and publishing
• 21 printable worksheets, plus short Godot 4 tips on scenes, signals and export presets
