How To Make A Roguelike Game - In GDevelop

Roguelikes are deceptively simple to make. The two main features of modern day roguelikes are permadeath and randomized levels, so once you've created the base mechanics of the game you can just layer on new things to that core gameplay loop. These tutorials are designed to teach you how to make a game in GDevelop, a no-code, open-source, free, and easy game engine.

i switched from fusion to this engine about 3 days ago, and it was the best choice ive ever made when it comes to game development. thanks for making this engine

[@StellarGamingDev]

Whew!! GDevelop is on fire!!!!! Very interesting tutorial. There's quite a lot GDevelop can do that makes it a great addition to the game making process. Things are so different from when I was a kid. I'm from the SNES/Genesis era so it's always amazing to think back on what once was and what's available now to create your own games. GDevelop is one of the easier engines to use that I've tinkered with and ultimately decided to stick with. I always learn something new, which I really like. That "3D extension" has become a close friend of mine.. lolol Definitely reminds me of the Nintendo 64 days in a way.

[@GDevelopApp]

I played games on the SNES and Genesis, and it is SO much easier to make and release a game today. 👀 -Wesley

[@LuniGDev]

First: I absolutely loved how you display controllers fore the player. Second: it is always great to see how you structure your animations and you work with the app to make -in this case- a Rougelike Game. Kudos to help me navigate random level creation / generating AI levels with GDevelop.

[@davidmendezmartinez8053]

The level in the next jam is going to be awesome, hard, but awesome

[@Mehumies12]

A tip for having multiple guns: You can have invisble objects (i use text objects) as the "Fire Bullet" extension object and have the bullet appear from your visible gun, so you can have multiple guns easily.

[@alexandre_1883]

Great video! Nice to see how you constructed your levels and objects! Really enlightening for those who want to create a rogue like game!

[@zacharyb2617]

A tutorial on a card game/strategy roguelike would be awesome!

[@lucasdesouza9674]

Yes i agree

[@Armithiel]

Wesley make the best tutorials and Gdevelop is the best game engine!

[@timetorelaxfocus9642]

If I understand the differences correctly... I would like if the Top Down had a behavior just like the Platformer. Where collisions are made simple by behavior vs doing the work twice on top down.

[@serhiid3758]

That was great! Very interesting and informative.

[@GDevelopApp]

Hopefully it was helpful. 👍 -Wesley

[@serhiid3758]

@@GDevelopApp Yes. It was. Informative = Helpful. 👍 I liked idea about making tutorial about making a game of some specific genre. Do you have a plans to make someday a video about other specific genres, like tactical RPG? Or traditional, first-person pseudo-3d dungeon crawler (like Wizardry)? Or just standart JRPG - to show how and when all those scenes and variables are handled? That would be nice.

[@martink5477]

I want the full version to learn from with the big bosses and other enemies. Can you release it?

[@themyconidwitch]

im having problems with making the doors open when all the enemies are dead. my code currently is saying: enemy is dead, gun_enemy is dead: delete door. but when i add a third enemy of the same type of one of the previous enemies, the doors open before i kill said third enemy. the third enemy also doesn't stop moving and turn gray like he is supposed to. can you please help?

[@mariohaesler6557]

Hey Wesley, thank you for the video! I have one question: Why do you set up the scene variables as strings and not as numbers? In my game, i have the problem, that the health of my enemies will not increase, when i change the global variable (or object variable) behind it. It is kinda frustrating :-). Anyway, wish you a good day!

[@balachandran2053]

One request bro can you share this example or complete model you done please please i need know how the character switching and multiple enemies entry please helper bro

[@GDevelopApp]

The base version of the game is free for you to check out in engine. For displaying the characters, I showed that part in the video, and for picking between them that's just using distance between 2 objects and the E key being pressed as the condition. So when your player object gets within a certain distance of the character select object, and you press E, it'll change a global variable to 0-3 depending on which character it is. And then for the animation, I use that [global variable x 2] or [global variable x 2 +1]. I won't be posting the full game anywhere since I'd like to release it as my own game at some point, but hopefully that's enough information to help you do what you'd need. 👍 -Wesley

[@MarcosCodas]

This, along with the videos enemy and the random generated levels video... you could just make a whole new game with 3 tutorials.

[@GDevelopApp]

That's the hope. 👍 The first randomization video is especially useful though too, it shows how to randomly spawn enemies in an area and how to spawn and pick up loot drops. 👍 -Wesley

[@m4rt_]

How's it going Wesley? Are you still working on the fireside game?

[@MarioCola]

I'm new to gdevelop and quickly getting used to it, I'm building a vertical platformer but I need two players with peer 2 peer (one player should be the host server) Is it possible in gdevelop?

[@sebastiankeays93]

Where are the backgrounds? I've been looking for dungeon room backgrounds for ages.

[@GDevelopApp]

I made this background myself, but they've been all released to use for free in the example game in engine. So if you open the example you'll get access to them. 👍 -Wesley

[@Im_Just_Saying_]

How do you upload to the Apple App Store?? There hardly any info about how to upload can you do a tutorial

[@youtubewatcher6124]

Can you do Tower Defense next please or a tutorial for a Battle Cats like game? Thanks HelperWesley

[@crazyAI3rix]

the tutorial is nice but i want to know how you gave the spider in your game its melee web skill

[@haon6945]

How did you make that dash i wanna add something like that in my game but idk how

[@Oldchannel827]

hey is there tutorial on how to do those doors that only open when all enemies are defeated?

[@GDevelopApp]

There isn't a tutorial on that specifically, but you can open the game example named "conviction of gun dude", and the events for that can be found there. 👍 -Wesley

[@JoaoGabriel-tf5bp]

Os tutoriais que você faz são muito bom, mesmo sendo simples de entender eles são completos.

GDevelop. 👍 -Wesley

We could really use a long form video for this 😭

[@GDevelopApp]

There are no current plans to make a longer video for this, but I did put together a playlist with a bunch of our videos that might be useful to people who want to make a roguelike game. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5-bZnWYo7iCa6M Hope that helps. 👍 -Wesley
