The author built it to avoid the last-minute export chaos common in game jams and is seeking community feedback on its usefulness. ## Content We’ve all been there: It’s 58 minutes until the Game Jam deadline. You’re frantically trying to export your Godot project for Windows, Linux, and Web, but the Web build is throwing a shader error, and your Windows export just hung at 99%. I built [Godot-QuickStart](https://github.com/hubacekjakub/Godot-QuickStart) to solve exactly that. It's a project template that sets up a production-ready folder structure and, more importantly, a pre-configured CI/CD pipeline that builds for three platforms in minutes. **What’s under the hood?** - **Automated CI/CD:** Powered by GitHub Actions. For **Win, Linux, Web** - **Deployment to Itch.io:** Setup once and forget manual uploads - **Production-Ready:** Robust `.gitignore and .gitattributes` I would love to hear your feedback - is it useful? Is it worthless? Any thoughts related to AI? --- **Don't skip jam spirit pressure** I still think everybody should experience the pressure late submission pressure first - that specific panic is a fundamental part of the game jam experience 😆 ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Building a game in 30 days with Godot](https://daily.dev/posts/building-a-game-in-30-days-with-godot-r3tdt474s) · Game Developer · 67 upvotes · 5 comments - [GitHub - htdt/godogen: Claude Code skills that build complete Godot 4 projects from a game description](https://daily.dev/posts/github---htdt-godogen-claude-code-skills-that-build-complete-godot-4-projects-from-a-game-descripti-sqpvdlmgt) · Hacker News · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [Build Real Games In Godot 4 With Over 50 Hours Of Free Tutorials](https://daily.dev/posts/build-real-games-in-godot-4-with-over-50-hours-of-free-tutorials-ka7koongo) · 80 LEVEL · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Godot 4.7, Lights, Camera, Action\! – Godot Engine](https://daily.dev/posts/godot-4-7-lights-camera-action-godot-engine-tmfhpnsdd) · Godot · 72 upvotes · 1 comments --- Tags: [#game-development](https://daily.dev/tags/game-development), [#cicd](https://daily.dev/tags/cicd), [#github-actions](https://daily.dev/tags/github-actions), [#godot](https://daily.dev/tags/godot) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/stop-wasting-the-final-hour-automate-your-godot-build-deploy-ads88vkjn) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","mainEntityOfPage":"https://daily.dev/posts/stop-wasting-the-final-hour-automate-your-godot-build-deploy-ads88vkjn","headline":"Stop Wasting the Final Hour: Automate Your Godot Build & Deploy","text":"A GitHub project template called Godot-QuickStart provides a pre-configured folder structure and CI/CD pipeline for Godot games, automating builds for Windows, Linux, and Web via GitHub Actions and deploying directly to Itch.io.
