Q: What experience level with Godot is recommended?

• Basic Pause menu capabilities

Some of the topics in the original series are not covered in this video series. For example, there are no Turn Based Battles in this video series.

That said, the battle features could still be implemented! Feel free to reach out to me, and I'd happily coach you through the steps to adding them to this Godot project.
