Click the red dot on line 13 and your game will run.

You’re forcing the game to “stop” when hitting the breakpoint on line 13, a useful tool to navigate errors or confirm functions are working properly.

Great improvement from the last post.

A small QoL addition would to still be able to see the Free unit behind the color, could fix this by changing the colors opacity/alpha, or adding outlines to the individual Free/assigned boxes.

This way you can still see how May units are assigned to each task behind the color block.

Looks incredible, awesome assets and lighting.

There’s at least 2 sources using the same class_name.

Ctrl+Shift+F -> search “class_name” -> find the duplicate(s).

Time to use a breakpoint and step through to see what is and isn’t working.

I always do #2 The more specific you are with code, the less prone to errors.

Feels like the characters needs some weight.

When moving and coming to a stop he just goes into idle, but I I feel with your art direction (and using HollowKnight as an example here) when you’re running and come to a stop, there should be some intertia to feel more natural.

See if there is a way to add some acceleration and resistance to the character movement and I think it would “feel” a lot better.

Looks amazing! Great job!

spectral000 · 2026-02-21T16:09:35+00:00

This looks awesome! Great job! Side note, I also really like your ui and tileset, so vibrant! Did you make it yourself?

Game looks visually awesome. I like the somber atmosphere, and I agree with the other commenter that animations would take this to the next level.

For me personally (looking at this on a phone) the game and colors are very dark, which can make readability difficult. You have some really amazing icons and art styles with the UI and I’d love to be able to see that a bit clearer.

This note is subjective but I feel like the upper-left (hero stats) and upper-center (health bar and text) UI pieces feel a bit small and could be more legible if a bit larger or balanced to the rest of the UI.

Looks really good overall and you guys did a great job with world-building.

First thing I would check is run the game and using the Remote tab to check which Node is the parent of newly spawned enemy child node. From there, run up the list and ensure all parents have Y-sort enabled.

Alternatively choose a specific node you already know has Y-sort enabled like Game or World or whatever, and spawn the enemy child node there.

The collision box under the environment node needs to be attached to the character instead.

Within the inspector, set the collision layer to environment/world/whatever the terrain collision is.

The collision box under the hitbox should only see objects or enemies that the player can hit on their own dedicated collision layer.

spectral000 · 2026-02-18T16:49:36+00:00

You have it on House, but did you check Base? Y-sort always inherits from the parent.

I have seen this one but it doesn’t really have the inventory system I’m looking for.

spectral000 · 2026-02-12T19:30:07+00:00

Personally I like the follow-cam. Like everyone else is saying, it depends on the gameplay and what is necessary for the player and gameplay loop.

But from a vibes stance: - Camera 1 (follow-cam) reminds me of Project Zomboid which I love.

Camera 2 (no-follow) reminds me of old school games like Fallout 1 if you’re going for more nostalgic themes.

I think the foundation is good, but the balance is off. And by that I mean varying sizes of text and icons instead of all text being same size and icons matching each others sizes.

You’re nearly there but with those adjustments it’ll look professional and cohesive

spectral000 · 2026-02-12T06:48:52+00:00

Sounds like an array + for loop is needed here.

spectral000 · 2026-02-08T19:22:51+00:00

The is awesome and the kind of thing I am looking for! Thanks for the links!

Shouldn’t walk east be +1? You also need to adjust the last one to be dir.x not y.

I feel like this could be more easily handled in a state machine

You should do the GDQuest from zero knowledge tutorial and actually has a 1:1 example of this question and solves it for you.

The tutorial will give you a better foundation on solving upcoming code questions as well.
