Is the Advanced Inventory UI course free?

No. It is part of Guild Hall membership, the paid tier. It is the advanced follow-up to the free Inventory System course, which builds the backend that this course turns into a full, playable UI.

What version of Godot does this course use?

It is built for Godot 4.x. The concepts target the Godot 4 engine and are not compatible with Godot 3.

Do I need to finish another course first?

Yes. This course builds directly on the free Inventory System course and the Stats and Leveling course, so the map stays locked until you have completed both. You should be comfortable with GDScript and Godot's node and signal system.

What will I build in the Advanced Inventory UI course?

A production inventory UI: a drag-and-drop grid with merge and swap, rich BBCode tooltips that compare gear against what you have equipped, an equipment paper-doll with a live stats panel, a number-key hotbar, sorting and expansion, and full save and load to disk.

How long is the Advanced Inventory UI course?

It has 11 lessons and takes about 7 to 9 hours to complete when you build each system along with the lessons.

Can I use this inventory UI in my own game?

Yes. Everything you build is yours to keep and use in any project, personal or commercial, and the full project files are included.

You get branching dialogue trees with conditional choices, event-driven quest tracking that ticks objectives off automatically, a modular conditions and effects system, a runtime that walks the graph and renders it on screen, and the design skills to extend it with your own conditions and effects.

Game Feel: Make Combat Hit

Take a flat, lifeless sword hit and make it land. This quest is all about game feel: the disproportionate, layered feedback that separates a hobby project from a game that feels pro. You build one reusable Juice autoload, adding a single technique each lesson (hit flash, hit-stop, knockback, screen shake, floating damage numbers, impact particles, punchy SFX), then unify them into one Juice.hit() call that scales every effect to the weight of the blow. By the end the same swing you started with hits like a truck.
