Videos that Helped me Design my First Game

As of Fall 2025, I created a game called SoulEater for my game design class.

Below are videos and resources that help me design my 2D platformer from scratch. I was inspired by the game Hollow Knight when designing game assets and its aesthetics. I ended up programming SoulEater on Godot Engine so I had to watch some tutorials on how the program works. Before this class, I had zero experience in Godot Engine, Animate and XD. But I feel like I ended up learning a lot and feel confident using these programs.

First video, is the video that helped me the most in designing my game on Godot. I was able to learn how to set up my level design and game assets the way I wanted. Also helped me make my character collect souls throughout the game.

This second video, made me feel confident in designing my game assets through Procreate. He has a lot of videos on advice and how he is able to create assets through Procreate so his content was something I enjoyed watching.

Other videos are just as helpful for beginners and someone who is trying to learn where to start I’m designing a 2D platformer. These YouTubers have plenty of other tutorials that were also helpful and well explained.
