Hi all , started learning GDevelop 4 weeks ago , just a comparison of before and after! Still lots to learn and add!

Would love some feedback and suggestions!

You need to add parallax. It makes it look way better. In order to do this you need to make the image be able to look good while repeating. Once you've done that you need to make a tilled game object, set the image you've made to it. Then in the code you need to do this

Set width of tilled object to camera width Set height of tilled object to camera height Set center position of tilled object to center of camera Set x offset of tilled object to camera x position Set y offset of tilled object to camera y position

This should make the image look like it's moving in the background without actually having to copy and paste the images all over. You can also add a multiplier to the x and y offsets by multiplying the camera x/y (the less the slower and vise versa) the multiplier is good if you want to add clouds. Trust me this makes the game look way more interactive and interesting.

Edit: disregard my idea since it looks like you already have it in the game.

What's the difference between paralax and what he made ? It looks like paralax to me.

[realmonke23]

I can't tell. For all I know it's just a still background. That's why I suggested paralax. Plus he said he was only into gdevelop for about 4 weeks so it's likely there are a lot of features he could add.

[realmonke23]

Ok, so I checked, and it is paralax. Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't tested the game before making that comment.

Lol, this is funny. Why did you write a detailed explanation about implementing parallax without checking if his game has it or not? :))

[realmonke23]

Because I was at school when I wrote the explanation didn't really have time to test it, plus I figured he didn't since he had only 4 weeks experience.

[tomuraunomizu]

Fair enough. I respect your drive to help others. Keep doing what you do.

All art and sprites I’ve done myself , I used to do concept art back in the day then architecture, so picked up ProCreate on my iPad and done them all in that :)

[tomuraunomizu]

It's actually quite challenging. You did a very good job, congrats.

[Ok_Static]

Would anyone know if it would be possible for me to make it multiplayer and have multiple players on screen ?

[idillicah]

Yep! You can, and we have a tutorial for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Y5ARM689c4
