I turned 4 months of prototyping into a 2D #GodotEngine Sidescroller Kit v0.1.0. The goal is to help fellow #gamedev #indiedev prototype more with no boilerplate. Raw 6min demo of a new level setup from scratch below. Is that fast? I hope so. 🙏 Kit: github.com/9-81f/sidescro… ✨

Btw, the .aseprite source for the character used in the kit is in the release binaries. It’s mapped to the AnimationPlayer states, so you can just reskin it and the animations will still trigger correctly in-game. Enjoy! 🤝

Implemented jump buffer, variable jump height, coyote time, & level transition. 👍 #GodotEngine #gamedevlife #indiedev #gamedev #retro #pixel #2dgame

Kazymila created Sprouty Dialogs, a Godot plugin for building and managing dialogue systems without starting from scratch. 🌱 See the details behind it: jettelly.com/blog/sprouty-d…

Trying my best to use patterns like composition over inheritance with components + data-driven with custom resources. Seeing some components + settings resource in action feels super satisfying. Project looks cleaner too. #gamedev #indiedev #GodotEngine #gdscript #gamedevlife

@Latiencur Thanks a lot! 🙏

@minus981f Great work, dude! And good friday for you too! 🔥♥️🔥♥️🔥

Spent the rest of my holiday time challenging myself to scaffold a new game using parts from my prior projects. Turns out great! Can see this be a nice starter kit. Refactored & learned lots. Good Friday indeed! #gamedev #indiedev #GodotEngine #2d #pixel #retro #retrogames

Fixed jerky camera. Added basic use item system & fade in transition for level transition. Some of the code implementations are still messy & fuzzy. But seeing them working no matter how little is a sight to be hold. Grateful 🙏 #GodotEngine #indiedev #gamedev #retro #2d #pixel

Yesterday marked the 5th anniversary of Narita Boy Thank you for wielding the Techno Sword⚔️ For becoming one with the Trichroma 🀄️ Here’s to many more years, Digital Hero 🎂 #pixelart #gamedev #ドット絵 #NaritaBoy

@studiokobaGAME Happy 5th Anniversary Narita Boy 🔥🀄🔥👏

@CircuitHive Thank you for this feedback ✨

@minus981f The way the camera jerks back to center every time you stop moving actually makes me motion sick. I recommend you leave the camera where it’s at when you stop moving or at least let it slowly drift back. Look into nonlinear easing techniques.

Made this basic level transition with SceneLoader autoload pattern. Still very basic but very happy with how it turns out. #gamedev #indiedev #GodotEngine #2d #pixel #retro

@Latiencur Thank you 🙏

@minus981f Looks cool to me! 🔥♥️👍

Making sense of how UI, data, and logic gels in game dev are wild. Took me a week of signal mess refactors before finally getting my UIManager to render the right UI with the right data at the right interaction. Learned tons from this experience. #gamedev #indiedev #GodotEngine

Reminding myself to always add minimum 1px of empty spaces around my sprite if I want to use outline shader. Been spending days creating interactables only to find that my outline shader didn't work for sprites that are located on the edge of the sheets 🥲. Game dev's tough love

One small step in the right direction. I sure hope so. First time using ShapeCast2D for interactions and updating layers & masks in runtime. LightOccluder2D usage here is my personal happy accidents. Interaction UI next? #pixelart #pixelgame #gamedev #GodotEngine #indiedev

@Latiencur Thank you very much! 🙏

@minus981f Looks promising! 🔥🔥🔥

Sometimes the length of time & effort spent just won't guarantee good results. Such as this normal maps experiment I did. At least now I know better. #pixelart #pixelgame #gamedev #GodotEngine #indiedev

Added smooth lerped camera lookahead with leading edge & movement toggle flags. #gamedev #GodotEngine #2d #retro #pixelart #progress #prototype #indiedev #indiegame

@DarkCloud_Ent I sincerely apologize for the lack of clear onboarding for this game that've caused such confusion. I'll learn & do better for my future releases. Truly thank you very much for spending your time to play this small game & sharing your thoughts with kind & encouraging words. 🙏🥲

@minus981f Don't know what should I do to equip weapon? Eventually the game is fun and challenging. Keep it up

Just released my first ever self-created game on my newly created personal itch.io page. Personally felt like a great way to end this year. Hope anyone who found this can enjoy it: minus981f.itch.io/contained-hall… #pixelart #indiegame #GodotEngine #itchio
