First-person maze with enemies: I need a start. (feddit.de)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/godot

Hello all,

I hope my question is not too stupid. :-) I have the following concern: I would like to create - in general terms - a maze in which computer-generated enemies follow a random path and can also come towards me. (I assume I need 3D for this.) After some reading, I have determined that Godot might be the wisest choice for this.

Now I have no experience at all in developing games and designing graphics, so I need a hint in the right direction: What is the easiest way to create a three-dimensional model of an opponent and insert it on a map in Godot so that it automatically follows a certain path? I assume I need Blender or similar software for that?

What you want to do is actually quite advanced topic. Godot is coming with some build in functionality that you can use Look for navigation mesh

But if you never used a game engine I recommend you start with baby steps and lern how Godot works basically. Try to create a scene, create an object, add a script and try to move it from code... All this stuff.

I would recommend to at least completely the getting started section of the Godot docs this should give a very good overview.

Ew! I thought that would be a rather easy start. :-(

Depends on what you call easy 😄

It's just my point of view that there is no such thing as "easy" if you do it for the first time. It's always easy if you know now everything works. Don't want you discouraged you.

I think a project like this where you have a goal in mind and try to find out how to achieve it is much better to learn than following strictly a tutorial and just replicating it step by step.
