This package pretends to be a startup point on how to structure projects using the Godot Game engine
NOTE: This project structure is based (losely) in the proposals of the Official Documentation on project structure and the Assets Naming Convention from Unreal Engine to create a comprehensive set of folders. The premise is always: GROUPING ASSETS BY USAGE, NOT BY TYPE since the latter one doesn't scale on big projects.
