Platformer prototype Godot Engine

[@reisenfer1]

Yo it looks pretty good. Is that just for fun or for something specific? (GameJam)

[@afterfivegamedev]

Just for fun. I don't have the discipline to do game jams :) If it goes well, maybe I'll release it as a game. Right now adding and testing various mechanics. I'm thinking o adding some traps & hazards, maybe a leveling system. Also, it's not obvious from the footage but both the player and monsters have some random affinities (like fire, water etc.) attached to them, which affects the damage dealt.

@@afterfivegamedev the affinity system sounds pretty fun. Yeah i too started developing some smaller games in Unity. Honestly the only problem i have right now is to stay a bit more consistent with doing gamedev haha. I feel like i always gotta have a plan when i boot up Unity, instead of just dabbling around and testing/experimenting like you do.

made with godot 4 or 3.5?

[@afterfivegamedev]

Godot 4. Could do it with 3.5, but I'd have to spend more time working on the tilemap.

@@afterfivegamedev how do you do the light in cave masking? Since the light2d mask mode got removed on Godot4.0

@@zdrmlpzdrmlp2 I use Canvas Modulate to make the scene dark. I couldn't get it to work properly with separate CanvasLayers, so I have to darken the whole scene, at least for now.
