About the Book
Build a complete 3D farm game from nothing using Blender 5.2.2 and Godot 4.7.2. You do not need any game development or programming experience.
Grow a Game is a step-by-step guide that takes you from installing Blender and Godot to exporting a finished game. You make everything yourself: the models, the textures, the animations and the code.
How the book teaches:
- Every chapter starts with a quick win, so you see a result in minutes.
- Each step is one short action. Numbered steps, exact numbers, and Mac and Windows keys shown together.
- After every group of steps there is a checkpoint picture to compare with your screen.
- An "If it looks wrong" box after each group lists the likely causes and the fix.
- Plain language, short sentences, and every new word explained when it first appears.
What is inside:
- Part 1: install both programs and make your first cube move from Blender into Godot.
- Part 2: model props, buildings, terrain, plants and machines in Blender, then build and rig a farmer and three animals, animate them, and export 67 game models.
- Part 3: build the farm in Godot with GDScript: a farmer you click to move, farming, animals, inventory, day and night, weather, build mode, a shop, saving, sound and menus. Then test the game and export a Windows and a Linux version.
- Free project files on GitHub, one folder per chapter, so you can compare your work at any point. Find them at github.com/ryantromp/blender-godot-book-companion-files
