godot-project-foundations

Organize a Godot 4 project by grouping assets into feature-based directories rather than file types. This approach prevents technical debt and uses a project_bootstrapper.gd script to auto-generate the recommended folders.

Godot naming conventions should use strict snake_case for files and folders, while nodes must use PascalCase. A scene_naming_validator.gd script enforces these standards to ensure project-wide consistency.

Yes, you can automatically scaffold feature folders when starting a new Godot game. Run the project_bootstrapper.gd script to generate feature directories alongside essential configuration files like .gitignore.

This Godot project organization approach works best for new projects or restructuring existing ones. The feature-based folder structure and strict naming conventions help reduce technical debt, but manual migration is required for existing unorganized assets.
