My first game!

My First Racing Game in Godot

I am obsessed with cars and the anime Initial D, so when it was time to make my first game, choosing what to build was easy: it had to be a driving and racing game. Getting there was not easy at all. Choosing a game engine was a nightmare. Unreal Engine felt like it was built for huge AAA studios. Unity... well, Unity is Unity, and I could not understand why anyone in their right mind would want to use it.

I even thought about learning OpenGL directly, but that would have meant learning C++, and coming from the world of MicroPython there was no way I could have done that in under a year. I wanted a game now. Then I discovered Godot. It uses something called GDScript, which is very similar to Python, so moving from MicroPython to GDScript was a breeze. As a bonus, my dad helped me start learning C#, although GDScript still feels easier to me.

So here it is: my first game made in Godot — a small racing game where you can drive and practice your cornering.
