Hello Godot Community!
I am a total beginner in game making and know nothing about Godot yet. At the moment I’m considering a game engine choice, hence my question.
I’d like eventually to make a 2D game, in which level 1 is point and click adventure game like The Cat Lady (lots of talking and putting things in the inventory), level 2 is platformer just like the very first installment in Prince of Persia series (1989) and level 3 is beat/shoot’em up. All 3 levels are sidescrollers, so we always watch the characters side view, moving just left or right. Keyboard control.
And the question is: Is it possible to realize such a project with Godot? Are there any snippet codes, open source games and templates available to make things easier (not to re-invent the bike)? Any advice in that regard?
THANK YOU for understanding, kindness and friendly guidance!

I’m tinkering with Godot for about three months, and I’m NOT a skilled program. But I can honestly say Godot is VERY powerful in terms of scrolling.

Yes, totally!
You’ll find some Godot games similar to your descriptions in the 2018 and 2019 showcase.
There’s an official point-and-click game engine built upon Godot called Escoria which you might wanna look into.
Of course, there are tutorials and projects which are gonna help but for the sheer amount I cannot list them all but here’s to get started:
From what you described, what I can see this is 3 games of different genres in one, that’s high to take on, even for me with a few years messing around with game dev. As a total beginner, you got a lot ahead to learn. So my advice to you:
- Divide and conquer.
- Try to make these 3 different game genres in separate.
- Prototype many point-and-click games.
- Create a few platformer games.
- Put together some beat-em-ups too.
- Take part in game jams to work on these if you’d like.
- When you think you got enough experience then start put all of these into this one game.
- Keep going and don’t give up!
Good luck!
