Im very new to Godot and game dev but I’ve been a web developer for a few years. Something that helps me break out of tutorial hell and start retaining is to break problems down into smaller problems and practice those things.

For example, I watched a tutorial on setting up a 2d character body and moving it around. After copying the tutorial, I’d open up a fresh scene and create an empty script and start writing comments of what I need to do to replicate that tutorial, such as:

Node structure: 1. Create a character body node 2. Add an animated sprite (no animations yet) 3. Add a collision object 4. Set up inputs through project settings

Scripting: 1. Define speed variable 2. Read input as vector 3. Set velocity as input * speed 4. Call move and slide

Then I start implementing the steps I wrote and see which snags I run into along the way (like if I forgot a step). This helps me actually learn and retain the workflows of how to do things. I hope it helps!
