Newbie here, looking for a tutorial series that will give me a solid foundation.

I have experience programming on the web with HTML, JS, PHP, MYSQL and some basic linux server admin. The programming aspect of Godot seems pretty straight forward but all of the tutorials I've seen for Godot are always using assets that are included with the tutorial.

What I am hoping to find is a tutorial series that takes me through the creation of sprites, sound files, 3d models, the animation and then bringing all of that into Godot to make a complete game. I'm hoping for something super basic that just lets me get my feet wet with each part of asset creation and then brings it altogether in the end.

Can anyone recommend a tutorial series that could do just that?

If you can't suggest the above, would you mind suggesting some reading or some tutorials to watch that will be a basic primer for Blender or w/e else software a newbie like me could get into? I don't mind paying for the tutorial(s), but I do not want to pay for software, would also prefer to use open source tools that run on linux if possible.

Also, I'm interested in PC multiplayer 3d, but wouldn't shy away from 2d single player either.

Thanks so much for reading and responding!

Welcome to the forums @v33to!

As far as Godot material goes, I know that HeartBeast is highly recommended. I have only gone through one or two of his tutorials myself, and they are 2D rather than 3D. Another 2D Godot tutorial maker to look at is GDQuest. For 3D tutorials, I actually do not know. I know there are some, but I haven't really looked into any of them personally, so I cannot say if they'd be suitable or not, nor what foundation they might give. I also don't know right off of any tutorial series that shows the entire creation process from start to end, though that would be cool! I'll have to remember the idea in case I ever start making tutorials again.

For learning Blender, I would highly suggest going through some tutorials on BlenderGuru, specifically the doughnut tutorial. I also remember CGCookie being a good resource for learning Blender, at least back when I started.

Thank you! I actually went ahead and started learning some low poly Blender stuff and also just how to move through the interface and operate all the gizmos (wow Blender sure is shortcut heavy!), my next question is,

"If I'm intending to make assets for a 3d game in Godot, do I need to do anything right from the beginning when I start in Blender? Or does Blender merely produce 3d objects/scenes and as long as it's exported properly it can be used in Godot?"
