Starter Kit 2D

A Godot 4.5 starter kit for 2D projects. It gives you the parts almost every small game needs but nobody enjoys rebuilding from scratch: scene transitions, settings, save data, audio, and a set of menu screens already wired together.

What's included

• SceneManager — fades between scenes and pauses the tree during the transition.
• SettingsManager — saves master/music/SFX volume and fullscreen to disk, and notifies the rest of the game when they change.
• SaveManager — saves progress to an encrypted file, with the same read/react pattern as settings.
• AudioManager — plays music and SFX through named buses, using the volumes stored by SettingsManager.
• Menu screens — main menu, pause, options, and credits, all skinned from one shared theme.
• Example scene — a small playable scene showing all of the above working together, so you can see the pieces in context before wiring your own game to them.

What it solves

Instead of writing scene-switching, a settings file, a save file, and an audio layer for every new project, you drop this kit in, register four autoloads, and start from a project that already has menus, persistence, and audio working. What you build on top is yours.

Requirements

Godot 4.5.x. Also opens on 4.6 and 4.7 without changes.
