I Made Celeste but it's 3D. . . I got permission from the Celeste developers to release my 3D remake of Celeste, as long as I release it for free. I put a lot of effort into this one since it is the first one that I have actually been able to release, so hopefully you guys like it. If this goes well, we might be able to see if there are other indie games that I could remake and release as well.

@@Squidmoto3 At least Nintendo is very strict with its intellectual properties and usually takes down every non official project related to them

[@Squidmoto3]

[@Star-Powder]

If Celeste ever did get a full 3D game, I imagine up and down dashes would be tied to separate buttons (I'd personally use the left and right triggers), while sideways dashes would be based on the direction you were facing. Diagonals would just be done by executing vertical and horizontal dashes simultaneously.

[@kurtisgibson2929]

Or it makes things the camera clips in to mosty transparent

[@tomas_iss7469]

And if they’re willing to let go of downwards dashed (not diagonally downwards) it could be the jump button so it could be similar to a “double jump” except it just sends you straight up

[@Banana_Loupe]

Thats a nice workaround. I'd say that the way how you dash is the only thing of this project where i wasnt that impressed

[@zOOpygOOpert]

I feel like a good way to do it would be having the dash controlled horizontally by the left stick or WASD and vertically by the mouse or controllwr gyro

[@kurtisgibson2929]

@@zOOpygOOpert it would still be finicky with a mouse but gyro would work well all you need to worry about is camera inaccuracies from the right stick

[@brianhull2407]

A couple of nitpicks/suggestions regarding movement. First, there is also the crouch, which can get you through tight spaces and which can be done with dashes as well. Second, given the trouble with straight-upward dashes, it might be a good idea to have an additional key/button specifically for dashes straight upward. You can already do that with crouch-dashes in the original game, though it’s normally unmapped by default. As for side rooms, you could have them branch off to the sides in a way that prevents you from reaching further in the main path.

[@Xizilqou]

When you make voxel games or games with low poly characters, you should use a shadow technique called shadow volumes (sometimes called stencil shadows), it creates perfect shadows based on the mesh geometry and it would look really good with this type of graphical style. Unity doesn't have it by default but there are probably assets or whatever that allow you to have it

[@ManyWaysMA]

I think that this game might work better as a first person game. Hear me out: even if it might be nauseating to go really fast, I think it would make it possible to actually have ceilings. This would also make it possible to dash in any direction. I do however admit that it might be difficult to make this hypothetical game; since you’d most likely have to make entirely different levels and rooms. However with the limitations that there currently are. I feel like you made this project the best it could possibly be! You’re honestly one of the best game dev KZbinrs I watch. Hope it doesn’t take 9 years for your next project 😅.

4:17 I do a lot of pixel art, and learning this a couple years ago was also really interesting, but also makes a lot of sense. It’s easier to make the Madeline’s movement sprites separate from her hair’s sprites. There would just be too many different frames to draw for her sprites. Also, Aseprite is great for pixel art!
