Navigate to [GDevelop](https://gdevelop.io/?utm_source=100daysofnocode&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=q3), click "**Start creating your game**", follow the instructions to sign up for an account and log in to your dashboard.

Inside of your dashboard, select the "**Build**" option from the left-hand menu.

Select the "**3D Lane Runner**" template.

Give your project a name and click "**Create a new game**"

You'll be asked whether you want to create a leaderboard function specifically for your game.\
\
Click "**Create new leaderboards now**"

Click the "Preview" button above the game editor. This will open the game in a new browser window. \
\
Play the game to get a feel for how it works.

You will now be on the first screen of your game, known as a "Scene". On the right-hand side of the page you'll see the "Objects" that make up the screen. \
\
Start by selecting the "**Title**"

On the left-hand side of the page you'll now see a menu that allows you to customize the settings for the object you've selected.\
\
In this example, change the title to another title of your choice. \
\
You'll see the title updates in the Scene preview that you see on the page.

You're now going to replace some of the Objects that make up the game in this template. What you're doing here is using a template to speed up the fundamental elements of the game look, feel and mechanics, but putting your own twist on the game by replacing the templated objects.\
\
If you feel comfortable with the interface, feel free to get creative and experiment with objects, properties and events to create your own game. \
\
If you're not so comfortable, that's okay, just keep following along with this tutorial. \
\
Select the "**Project Manager**" button from the left-hand menu.

Double-click the "**Game**" option from the "**Scenes**" section.

On the right-hand side you'll now see the Objects that make up this Scene. \
\
Click here (as shown in the image) to bring up the options for this Object.

You're going to replace the Player with a different 3D asset.\
\
Select the "**Swap assets**" option.

Search GDevelop's asset store for a replacement asset. The asset store will clearly label when additional assets require payment. \
\
You can also filter for specific assets using the filter icon in the top-right hand corner.

Once you find an asset you'd like to swap in, click it and then click "**Swap**"

You'll see within the game editor that your Player has now been replaced by the asset you've selected (in this example, a cat!) \
\
If you'd like to see the actual rendering of this new Object within the game, just click the "Preview" button again above the game editor.\
\
Next, we're going to replace the spikes in the template with a different Object. \
\
Click the "SpikeGroup" icon to open the settings for this Object.

Search for and select a replacement asset. In this example, we'll pretend our cat has to jump over fences.

Select the asset you'd like to swap in and click "**Swap**"

Right-click the asset in the menu and select "**Rename**"

Rename your asset and then double-click it to open the settings menu.

Here you can edit the positioning of the object. In this example, the fence asset that's been selected needs to be rotated slightly so that it matches the mechanics of the game. The "**Default orientation**" configuration has been edited.\
\
Select "**Apply**" once you've configured the Object.

To Preview this updated version, click "**Update**" followed by "**Launch preview in...**" and then "**A new window**"\
\
Test your game with your new Object in a new browser window.

Finally, let's select a replacement item for our collectible item. By default it's a "Coin" object. Swap this asset for any asset of your choice.\
\
In this example, let's have our cat collect fish!\
\
Click this icon (shown below) for the Coin object to bring up the settings for this object.

Search for and select a replacement asset. In this example, let's pretend our cat is hunting fish!

Right-click the Coin Object and click "**Rename**" and replace the Object name with something relevant for your game.

Now go through the process of clicking "Update" and previewing your game in a new browser window again.\
\
At this point you've edited the title of the first "Scene" and you've replaced three objects in your game "Scene" - the player, the collectible item and the obstacle.

Next, let's just briefly explore a different way to change Object Properties. \
\
Click on the Cat (Player) Object on the game editor.

The Properties menu for this Object appears on the left-hand menu. \
\
Change this rotation option to -50

You'll see that the Cat is now rotated on the game editor. This will change the default rotation of the Cat Object in the game. \
\
Preview the game again to see how updating this Object has changed the way it is displayed in the game.

If you have any extra time remaining in today's lesson, continue to edit your game, starting by experimenting with the Object settings that you've learned about today.\
