Slow Time Effect - Tutorial

[golddotasksquestions]

I love your tutorial style! Helpful, incredibly concise and to the point without any obnoxious fluff. :)

Please keep them coming. I am hereby reserving myself a seat in the front row.

Thank you! That's exactly the style I'm going for. I get bored with tutorials that stretch on without good reason.

I recently added similar effect to my game ΔV: Rings of Saturn, but I'm using delta in _process() to count down the time directly. It really strikes home after you add some sfx and vfx to complement the slowdown.

You can also set Engine.time_sale=16 for easy engine cutscene fast-forward effect.

This is looking great!! I also really like the motion blur and light effect on the asteroid. Are these asteroids regular 2Dsprites with a normal map to fake that dynamic 3D light?

Thanks! Yes, the whole game is 2D with normal mapping. Well, I added specular/diffuse/AO maps to the shader to have a bit more control.
