If you've just started, I recommend doing a couple of simple projects to get acquainted with the engine. As for this game, it's not that complicated - I just put together a bunch of meshes I created with Blender. The most sophisticated thing is probably poisson disc sampling I used for tree placement.

@ Indeed, I want to make a simple trading game like this one with less graphics. My main goal is to learn the basics like spawn enemies, create a map, movement. All the basic mechanics. Do you have a tutorial on how you made it?

@@NemecisGR Sorry, I didn't make any tutorial, but most of the techniques used are pretty basic.

I'm thinking of a way to add some visual cue when the fireball spawns.

As you can see in the video, you can set the thickness independently, so it looks less flat. It can be useful in some scenarios. Also, you could modify it to accept a bump map, and manipulate the z scale of each voxel independently. I don't know how to create a good bump map, so I haven't been able to test and implement it yet, but it should be one additional line in the shader, if you have the map. Feel free to experiment with the code!

@@afterfivegamedev - Cool, was just curious. It's a neat idea. I saw "voxel doom" and that was pretty interesting looking.

@@Uhfgood Well, mine is not as advanced, as Cheello made all the models by hand, while I'm creating them automatically from sprite :)

background is sick btw!

@lahtik1977 I'll see how it looks with the camera farther away. As for the blocks - there are low ones and higher ones that require a double jump to clear. If I had a roll animation I would've made them into holes you have to jump through instead. I may switch to a different sprite that has those animations. Unfortunately I'm limited to free assets.

@@afterfivegamedev Good luck!

Yeah, I got rid of the slowdown. I'll see if I can add some fun mechanics to monster killing.

​@@afterfivegamedev Even some Fast-paced animations (And maybe a little camera shake) should make it Entertaining. Maybe some variants to the kill animation so it dosn't feel repetitive? I'm developing games in Unreal Engine 5 so I don't know how to apply this in Godot. but a few fast slashing animations, maybe also animations for different states (Attacking while sliding etc.) dependant of the speed of the character. so the animation speed will go up as the character does, Should fit well with the fast-paced nature of the game. Also, one little detail; Character's legs Should still be in the running animation during the attack. and if the animations (Both running and attacks) don't scale with the speed character will appear as if they're sliding. This might be my own Intuition but when i saw the gameplay i envisioned something like Ghostrunner with a high-paced parkour and split second decision making & Execution. lol so i might have ran off with my own vision of the final product. I'm really liking the idea though.. I wanna see the progress and the result. keep it up ^.^

@kittykurami It could surely be done if I were an artist. But the sprite is free assets, so I'm limited with the animation to what's in the spritesheet :(

Yeah, I'm looking for a good solution, since I don't want the camera to follow the player while jumping in the middle of the platform. I'll check out your idea and see how it turns out.

I agree, might look a bit better!

@blaiseswan2258 there's no need to cut. The sprite node, as well as animated sprite and animation player can work with regions/individual frames of the spritesheet.

Thanks. Never played that one, so no plans for that.

It was available for a while, but got way more downloads that I had expected, plus some publicity on YT, so I sadly took it down in case Activision/Atari decides to do a DMCA strike.

It's basically a couple of PlaneMeshes with a shader material that reads the texture and scrolls it. I pass the motion vector from the game code, based on speed and the background layer. However, it seems that the camera sometimes has problems with getting it right what's behind what. Or rather it's me who sucks at shaders.

It got way more downloads that I've expected, and while it's nice, I don't wont to get a cease and desist letter from Atari/Activision, so I'm taking it down. Sorry.

Godot Engine & 3D models are made in Blender.

It's not. Maybe in the future.

@@afterfivegamedev Cool. Nice game btw 👍🏻

It is not for you.

I played the crap out of the 800xl version. Still play it from time to time on an emulator. Also my all time favourite.

It seems I've deleted it, but I wrote the logic after watching this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zouyf4CEirCHnLc It was fairly easy to translate it to GDScript.

@@afterfivegamedev thanks for the tip!

You can get the source code from github.com/Yatchanek/DungeonCrawler

@@afterfivegamedev thx!

I just edited one of the attack animations, removing the sword :) That's the best I can do when it comes to art.

@@afterfivegamedev maaan , it is already something👍. I just used what was there. Is ur sprire available ?:)

@@Arsbars1 Yes, it should be included in the repo.

I can't remember exactly. Probably about a month or 1.5 months total. This is a footage from a web version. Later I made a desktop version, with slightly better visuals and more enemy types.

@@afterfivegamedev yes, I've checked it out and it's pretty cool. Wish you the best, keep it up.

I started Godot in 2020, before that I made a couple of simple games in vanilla JavaScript. I'm not a full time developer, so I'm just tinkering with it in my spare time when I feel the mood to code 😉

Hey, I watch tutorials, check the documentation all the time, google for solutions...Unless you're doing something realy innovative and groundbreaking, there's 99% chance somebody had the exact same problem earlier and managed to solve it.

Currently, there are 2 types of attack - a quick one, and a stronger one, which does double damage, but is slower. I'll try to speed up the animation a bit.

All the assets can be downloaded for free from itch.io. It's a bunch of various artwork by several different people put together. The platformer is not for sale, unfortunately, but if I ever get to finish it, it will be available to play for free.
