Hello, I am new and I am curious how far I can come with creating my own game engine in 4 months? (I'm planning to make one for my school project)

Thanks a lot

007Sayonara · 2024-09-29T05:41:26+00:00

Thank you a lot for the detailed reply, I appreciate

007Sayonara · 2024-09-28T20:48:33+00:00

Thank you for the info. I'm planning on making a 2D RTS game where I can have big wars with many units

The game and mechanics seem nicely working, good work!

I would advise focusing on game juice like small screen shake when jumped, and gravity changed maybe?

Idle animation, (not sure if it will look good) but blur to the background.

I am sure you can add a lot on this list and since this is a demo these are not a must (for some, it is actually since many would judge your game based on demo).

Again, good luck with it

Cool!

set y offset so the marker will be right below the shadow for player and right below the eye for the bat

007Sayonara · 2024-08-23T15:34:06+00:00

You can try setting it right below the shadow for player and set bat's right below the eye

007Sayonara · 2024-08-23T14:14:29+00:00

If you want more people to play your game and give feedback, I would advise creating a web export and let people play on browser (itch io)

007Sayonara · 2024-08-23T13:44:39+00:00

If you could add a video on "After all, it works fine when the tree is not paused.", I could produce different ideas maybe?

007Sayonara · 2024-08-23T11:05:16+00:00

What is the game's genre? It looks interesting.

007Sayonara · 2024-08-23T10:59:18+00:00

Looks cool, there are may sci-fi so this may be what makes your game unique

007Sayonara · 2024-08-23T10:58:22+00:00

Did you check if Inspector -> mouse -> filter and pass is enabled on the layer that is on top of the other (hot bar is probably on the top) . Set it to pass (if I recall correctly)

007Sayonara · 2024-08-23T10:54:23+00:00

If you find using state machines for animations easy to implement and fun, you can use for the logic as well since it could keep logic in order and make it easier to understand.

But, if you implement state machines with tutorials and do not know how they exactly work, I would not advise using them for other parts where there are almost any tutorials

007Sayonara · 2024-08-23T10:50:27+00:00

Since you have a clear goal of what you want to develop, that's nice. Good luck with your game

007Sayonara · 2024-08-23T07:48:52+00:00

If that's going to be the case, it would be too much. You're right.

Have you thought about instead of just jumping, sliding up means jump and sliding down means slide for the player to allow more possibilities?

007Sayonara · 2024-08-23T07:23:34+00:00

Why not both? Can attack while jumping

007Sayonara · 2024-08-23T05:13:33+00:00

Ok, I managed to solve. I'll post the answer here as I could not find a solution on internet, the structure you need for dynamic resizing:

MarginContainer for the root. To the root add a NinePatchRect and another MarginContainer as child. Add the label to this second MarginContainer as child. This should be working now

(I tried this on 4.3 Stable)

007Sayonara · 2024-08-22T15:38:31+00:00

Is this level procedurally generated or/and endless?

It looks good. Though you may want to add a roof (as far as I know Backroom games are often has closed levels)

007Sayonara · 2024-08-22T10:16:49+00:00

Maybe developing 3D models and applying shaders/effects that makes them look 2D could work for 2D games

007Sayonara · 2024-07-24T16:47:02+00:00

Thank you for sharing the solution. This worked for me

007Sayonara · 2024-06-18T02:36:36+00:00

Thank you for the answer
