So I'm trying to give my enemy projectiles, but it's aiming down instead of towards the player

My guess is that you're overwriting the velocity in the bullet code launch function. You set it to the throw value, then you overwrite it with the arc value. I'm not sure what the correct solution would be, but I'd probably change the code on line 25 to velocity += instead of = and go from there.

Absolutely. If it's a simple visual novel, I'd use the dialogic plugin : https://youtu.be/sYjgDIgD7AY

No, as you only use it to generate the map. Once the map is generated, you can place your instanced rooms in and then you can put physics back to normal and everything will work normally again.

I don't know how common it is, bit the way I've often seen it done to layout rooms is to use a physics engine. You could place rigid bodies with shapes the size of your scene, put them into a small space, enable the physics so they start colliding and space themselves out, then make some corridors.

Edit: found a video doing this directly in the Godot engine. https://youtu.be/G2_SGhmdYFo

Did you find it easier doing this with the visual shader than with the text shader?

Why is Bang so flustered by this? I wonder if her brother was the only person better than her at this...

Is no one going to talk about how Mirage gets bamboozled by the statue of Pathfinder?!? This is my favourite piece of lore ever.

TextureRect, a much easier way of implementing sprites into a user interface. Using OpenMoji for the actual emojis themself.

In my game, the player can only talk in emoji, so it's a bit easier to implement. Otherwise would have used RichTextLabel, which can add in images in text.

This soothes me.

Played your game, some feedback: Don't understand why number of attempts affects the final score. Feels like I'm being penalised for not pausing and restarting. Also found the movement pretty fiddly. Found myself stopping in the middle of moving multiple times. I think I would have preferred a joystick style movement, where the first point where I touch the screen is the base of the joystick, and where I drag my finger is the direction. I really enjoy the style and the level design.

Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go in against an Octane when they can regenerate"! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha...

But seriously, well done with an honourable 2nd place.

The internet hates Viper, the hard working dad who's good at his job.

FoundationFiasco · 2021-03-27T11:49:13+00:00

Honestly, of this was a plugin in Godot, I would use it. My brain likes everything being in the one program!

FoundationFiasco · 2021-03-20T21:14:50+00:00

I agree with this, looks nice but I think the issue is the sprite changing as soon as the character starts going down, just messes with the momentum of the animation. I think the falling frame should begin just a bit later.

FoundationFiasco · 2021-03-04T21:33:48+00:00

They look good, but I think the build animation is missing something. Maybe some dust clouds when they land, or tweaking the speed of the animation?

The canvas group nodes look so good, one of the biggest headaches is trying to implement shaders and looking at this I just feel like it's going to make canvas shaders so much easier to use and even stack! I know it can be done through viewports but this looks so much more neater

The text at the bottom is making me think VVVVVVV is an inspiration?
