Godot 4 kits that help you finish a game

Small, readable GDScript you can drop into your project, and a planning workbook for developers who start games but find them hard to finish. Made and tested with Godot 4.7.2.

Godot 4 State Machine + Save/Load Kit

$11 · GDScript only

Two building blocks, a playable demo and 35 automated tests you can run yourself.

  • State machine: StateMachine and State nodes. Each state (Idle, Move, Dash...) is its own short script with enter, exit, update, physics_update and handle_input. Includes a state_changed signal, state history and transition_back().
  • Save/load: a SaveManager autoload. Put a node in the persist group, add save_data() and load_data(), and it saves to JSON slots, with slot listing for a load menu, safe writes, a version number with a migrate() hook, and Vector2/Vector3 helpers.
  • Demo: move, dash, collect coins, then save with F5 and load with F9.

Questions

Which Godot version does the kit need?

It was made and tested with Godot 4.7.2 and uses only standard GDScript, with no plugins or extensions. Other 4.x versions have not been tested, and it is not for Godot 3.

Can I use it in a commercial game?

Yes. You can use the code in as many of your own games as you like, free or commercial, with no credit needed. Please don't resell or share the kit itself.

How do I run the tests?

From the project folder, run godot --headless --import and then godot --headless res://tests/test_runner.tscn. You should see 35 PASS lines.

How are saves stored?

As plain JSON in user://saves/slot_N.json, so you can open them to debug. A save is written to a temporary file first and then swapped in, so a crash mid-save keeps the old save. Saves are not encrypted, so don't store passwords or private data in them.

Does the workbook teach GDScript?

No. It is a planning workbook with short Godot 4 tips on scenes, signals and export presets. Its code snippets were tested in Godot 4.7. It can't promise your game ships; that part is on you.

Are you connected to the Godot project?

No. Kitson Workshop is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by the Godot project.
