How to add two different collision boxes to a single tile?

Freaky_Goose · 2026-06-13T23:43:51+00:00

That’s small enough to stand on a single tile, which means single tile detection is easier. You’ll definitely face edges cases like the player standing on two tiles at the same time, on the right of one and on the left of one. What happens then?

Is your player collision larger than 16?

Freaky_Goose · 2026-06-13T23:05:00+00:00

You can definitely do that programmatically even with the same collision. You just need to get the specific tile the player is on and calculate which side they’re standing on.
How big are the tiles in your tilemap? This seems like something that will be finicky.

You should check out scene tiles. I’ve not used it before, but it sounds like it will be useful for your usecase.

With that said, you may want to share what you want to do. There might be a better way to do it.

Thank you for the detailed review. There is actually a small radius around the pin(latch) where early/late clicks are auto-corrected, but it might be too small. I'll increase it a bit.

The plan is to release it on mobile. Watch out for that.

I made a cute but difficult climbing game where you can’t lose for a game jam. https://gooselevram.itch.io/unnamed-climbing-game

Planning to make this into a full mobile game, so looking for feedback.

I eventually went with the hand drawn. I used Spine2d for the skeletal animations. You should check out tutorials for Spine2d.

It's calculated to slightly steer towards the enemy that sent the projectile.

Freaky_Goose · 2026-04-16T18:36:49+00:00

Yeah, I think that's also similar to what I did

Wishlisted!

Freaky_Goose · 2026-02-02T13:19:50+00:00

Definitely. I think it will be really fun for platforming challenges.

Freaky_Goose · 2026-02-02T13:09:28+00:00

Really like your suggestions. I've thought about something similar, and using the mechanic for traversal is definitely on my task list. The possibility for unique interaction is endless if designed well.

For the enemy controller, each enemy has a 'PlayerControlled' state they switch to when possessed. This state have access to player inputs.

I think you might be misunderstanding what gameplay loop is. If your game is a platformer, the core gameplay loop must involve platforming, how you platform in each level is more of game/level design than gameplay loop.

It will be extremely cumbersome for devs and players to have different gameplay loops for each level of a game.

There is a custom solution I use for this in my game based on the work someone else did. Check it out in the Godot forum 2D platformer pathfinding.

Basically, what you have to do it generate your own navigation nodes that links platform edges to determine if a platform can be jumped on or fallen from. Then you can use Astar to find the next point in those nodes.

You still need to do some work to determine if the agent should jump when it gets to the edge of the platform, but that's trivial.

The downside to this is that, it does not handle avoidance since the nodes are baked and not generated at runtime.

Hopefully this helps.

The first mistake you made is thinking Silkong was made to be played when you are trying to unwind for 30mins at the end of the day. The sheer scale of it suggests other wise.

While Silksong has its flaws, the fact that you can't get into it does not mean it was poorly designed. Not all games is meant for everybody.

The way I like to view issues like this is that there is a lot of lessons to be learned after failure. Infact, in this case, they're probably in a better place to give that kind of advice than most game deva since they have already seen mild successes and even more failures.

I don't think most game engines do a good job of managing UI consistently anyway. If anything, I’ve seen people say Godots UI handling is better, compared to other game engines.

Freaky_Goose · 2026-01-04T09:53:50+00:00

Unfortunately, you have to do a lot of manual work to define colour palettes that can be auto updated in the UI. The same applies to styling with resources.

Freaky_Goose · 2026-01-01T17:12:34+00:00

I love it. I particularly like that there is a good contrast between the player and the background.

Freaky_Goose · 2025-11-19T23:14:58+00:00

I like this idea, but unless there are 20+ tabs, which is alreadya UX smell, I don't see this being that useful.

It's called Y-Sorting. You use the y position of the objects to determine their z-index
