This series will teach you how to build an FPS from scratch in Godot. You’ll need basic knowledge of the editor and GDScript. If you’re new to Godot, learn the basics first to follow the advanced parts more easily. – This series uses Godot v4.4.1.
This series builds a minimal, extendible FPS template covering most common features. You can get FPS template directly on my Itch.io as a quick starter, or follow the series to make it yourself. However, the tutorial series doesn’t include the polish & tweaks.

This tutorial covers the core concepts step by step, not every advanced trick — the aim is clarity and a solid foundation. The GIFs you see are from the polished template version, which uses the same mechanics but with improved levels, VFX, weapons, and props.
