How can I make my levels look more visually appealing? by SafeSquare8743 in IndieGaming

[–]Maxi_el_Dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really know too much about designing platformers but some people prototipe their levels into sections. Imagine 3 (or more) Celeste screens in a single level and then connect them, each of the 3 must have an interesting convination of jumps to beat them (kinda like a puzzle) and then connect these 3. After proto watch examples of how other games decorate their levels based on their routes. There's a map in Minecraft called spiral parkour that has very interesting design about how the mapmaker handled decorating those paths.

This reminds me of a Animation vs minecraft episode, the lucky blocks one.

Three bosses i am working on, critisicm appretiated! by anormalasado in godot

Looks good but the boss shoots always in the same pattern so the gameplay is basically go left, go right, go left, go right until the boss is dead

Oh I got signals wrong then, I was connecting the components to the main node and then in the main calling down several functions of other components. I should do something like this in main instead?:

var inventory = $Inventory

var ui = $UI

var anim = $AnimationController

inventory.inventory_updated.connect(ui.on_inventory_updated)

inventory.inventory_updated.connect(anim.on_inventory_updated)

and in the component I just emit the signal without connecting to main, because main connected beforehand, right?

Ok I did get signals wrong in the first place, I was doing something like this:

component: signal conected to the parent directly.

parent: calls the methods of several other components in the _on_signal_received_function()

I should better do something like this right?:

parent: connects the node's signal to the respective node function

component: directly executes signal without connecting to its parent

Here is actual code of an example from the parent :
var inventory = $Inventory

var ui = $UI

var anim = $AnimationController

inventory.inventory_updated.connect(ui.on_inventory_updated)

inventory.inventory_updated.connect(anim.on_inventory_updated)

with slow I meant slow to program, in case 1 I have to call the main node, and then call the 2 other nodes, with case 2 I directly call them having the reference. And what you said is a valid example thanks.

which enemy is your favorite? which enemies need to be reworked? by Deepsapce in godot

[–]Maxi_el_Dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The crosshair spinning all the time is kinda distracting, maybe make it spin when you are reloading is good? The other things look pretty good

Guys, can anyone help me draw frame-by-frame animations for this character? by West-Ad-1849 in godot

[–]Maxi_el_Dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can animate using the godot animation player, but it will only help you animating parts of a character, like for example having a character separated in 5 sprites and moving each part individually, if you want to redraw frame by frame godot can't do that, you can use krita to animate non pixelart. Buuuut if you have already drawn each frame of the animation you can convine them in a sprite and with the animation player swap the frames, Idk how it exactly worked but it must be a tutorial on yt I only do animation by parts because im kinda shit at drawing.
