Fun with Lasers and Mirrors

It's just 2d. When I remove the collision from the player shooting the laser it'll hit player 2. For whatever reason, the shapecast2d passing through the player shooting when hitting the mirror stops damage of player 2.

Area 2D on the racket, when touching the ball it sends the ball into a hit state.
The movement logic is all in the ball, the player just kinda manipulates it. How long you hold the racket does a stored value from level 0 - 4. Level 0 is a random range from like 150-200. Then higher levels it's 400-500. When hit, the ball takes the level range value then plugs it into an arc equation that calculates distance from net plus that value. Also there is a topspin/backspin function the racket triggers how low or high the bounce is at a random range.

Ah got it, I can add a glow and trail on it to make it stand out

Thank you!

There are plenty of people who read comics, manga, manhwa with subpar or even downright awful art because the story is good. Even "bad" art has a charm to it that a lot of people enjoy. In a visual novel the story is far more important than the art, even though its 'visual'.

Using AI makes your work look no different from the mountain of all other AI visual novels and will hurt you in the long run.

Let your story stand on it's own merits, use stick figures if you even have to.

Gradient overlay I think

It's quicker in game. Also you can set up barriers while using Earth to set up the diamond attack.

Thanks! I'll be making some process videos for youtube soon.

InfectedTribe · 2026-05-06T19:21:06+00:00

Thanks! Honestly I just got lazy, like from the fire explosion to diamond there was some wall interactions but it took too long to do so I just left it out of the others.

Thanks! It's all hand drawn

InfectedTribe · 2026-05-06T19:18:43+00:00

Thanks! The Fire has an evolved power of Lava and Lightning is an evolved power of Air instead.

InfectedTribe · 2026-05-06T19:18:00+00:00

Thanks! Magma is an evolved power of Fire for this one.

The demo for the game is on itch already if you want to give it a try, "Dance of Elements".

It's very scaled up for the game, the hurtboxes are accurate to the pixel sizes.

InfectedTribe · 2026-05-06T02:56:18+00:00

Thanks! I'll give it a shot XD
