Start building a 2D RPG in Godot 4. In this short 5-part series you learn the Essential components of an RPG and how to build them in Godot. We start by creating a player controller from scratch. In this video, we implement player movement, attacks, and animations as part of Godot RPG Essentials, a focused 5-part series on RPG fundamentals. The solid start for anyone looking to build their own RPG.

GitHub Starter Kit (contains starter kit, font, folder structure, nav_painter): https://github.com/Game-Development-C...
Asset Pack from PixelFrog on Itch.io (this series uses a small set of the free pack): https://pixelfrog-assets.itch.io/tiny...

Despite my attempts, I have not been able to arrange a license to redistribute the assets on GitHub. As a result you will have to download the starter kit and asset pack separately. When I'm able to arrange this with PixelFrog in the future, I will update the starter-kit and this description accordingly.
