🍝 NEW VIDEO!

What are Signals?!

In today's tutorial, we build a "Signal Survivor" mini-game to master:

🔹 Code Connections vs. Editor
🔹 The new Godot 4.6 "Private Signals"
🔹 The Global Event Bus pattern

Results as of 2:14 on 1/28!

Same! Thank you!

No matter what you voted, the upcoming video has you covered. We’re going from "Click & Drag" basics all the way to building a global Event Bus system (and covering the new Private Signals in Godot 4.6!).

Wrapping up the next Godot 4.6 Tutorial, and it's all about SIGNALS. How do you usually connect your signals right now? 👇 #IndieGameDev #GameDev #Godot

1️⃣ Through the Editor (Click & Drag) 🖱️
2️⃣ Through Code (.connect()) 💻
3️⃣ I use Event Buses for everything 🚌
4️⃣ Wait, what's a signal? 😨
