About the Author: Maithili Dhule is an Engineer by profession, writer by choice, and an aspiring game developer at heart. She is the author of Beginning Game Development with Godot, a beginner’s guide to creating and publishing 2D Platform games from scratch. After a friend introduced her to the art of creating games, it quickly became one of her passions. She can be found creating pixel art or being immersed in one of her favorite games in her free time. She also enjoys trying out new restaurants, sketching portraits, writing poetry, and going for runs while listening to a good music playlist.
