Create the slides for the workshop

[acs]

The script should be something like:

• A newcomer sharing his experience
• What are video games?
• Video games workflow
• Game Engines: frameworks for games creation
• Godot Engine basic concepts
  • All in Godot are Nodes
  • Nodes are organized in hierarchies
  • Nodes are added to Scenes
  • Complex scenes are built composing simpler reusable and configurable scenes
  • The logic is implemented in GDScript, similar to Python but with better threading support
• Creating a 2D video game
• Godot editor
  • Your first project
  • Your first Scene
  • Adding Nodes to the Scene
  • Timers: adding nodes, score ...
• Physics
• First steps with GDScript
• Completing the 2D Game
• Debugging
• Next steps

Video Games

• Games based on Computer Graphics (CG)
• A story with animated graphics (video), sounds (music) and interactive (keyboard, joystick, sensors ...)
• The main goal is to have a funny/enjoyable experience
• Challenges
• Different genre based on gameplay interaction: strategy, platforms, simulations, puzzles, shooter, ... (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_video_games and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_genre)

Modern games:

• Network, multiplayer
• 3D
• Interactive movies quality
• Multiplatform

[acs]

Workflow

• Screenplay in which the game will be based
  • Design it based on scenes/levels/....
• Assets creation
  • Images for the elements of the game: player, enemies, environment, backgrounds ...
  • Music and sounds
• Scenes design
• Scenes implementation
• Scenes integration
• Start and end of then game
• Configuration: avoid it as much as possible

Newcomer experience

• Long experience developing in different lanaguages: C, C++, Perl, Java, Python, Javascript, Scala ...
• Experience in design and architecture of software systems
• Experience playing and testing different technologies
• Love to learn new things
• Interest in computer design tools: GIMP, Blender ...
• I have never created a video game before this 6 months experience
• I like strategy and simulation games, but until my kids, I have not played games for many years
• McThings 3D creation tool for Minecraft was my launch in this new 3D games world (motivated becuase my kids love Minecraft): https://github.com/Voxelers/mcthings/
• Collaborating in Voxelers project: the world is based of voxels. Let's implement it like that in computers!

Probably in 2-3h I can complete the slides and to have the workshop ready.

[acs]

Mostly completed. Just missing some final touches for the 32 slides presentation.

Next step is to test it recording a video with the full experience. During the recording I will adjust the slides.

[acs]

Ok, OBS tested and all ready to record the workshop. I will try to do it around 1h in order to have some margin. With the 15 min extra, we can decide in which to invest more time.

[acs]

Video recorded: 1h38m in Spanish. and without covering 3D or voxels. I need to go directly to the workshop activities in order to make it in 1h15m.

Final steps:

• Add reference to this workshop: https://www.juntosdesdecasa.com/index.php/project/crea-tu-primer-videojuego-de-plataformas-con-godot/
• Add an initial video about 3D current status to motivate people
