Ludum Dare 56 Entry. Fight or Flea is a simple game gameplay is based off of the Monster Hunter mounting system. This is very much a programmer art project. My focus was on input management and feedback as well as game lifecycle. Links GitHub Repo itch.io Input Systems I also experimented with multiple systems to handle input. Typically, I would try to keep all of the input logic in a single place, in a Player class for example....
This was a 48 hour gamejam, so it was limited in scope intentionally. It has not been modified since. I do have some notes on ways I would improve this if I was going to continue this idea moving forward. Ludum Dare was a great experience and it left me with a bunch of feedback from users that played my game. I think it improved my skills considerably, as this was my first real attempt doing my own 3D modeling....
I have tried to participate in Ludum Dare several times, but I have always either given up or skipped it due to not liking the theme. There was one year where I did technically “complete” a “game”, but the assets were terrible and I wasn’t very proud of it. At first I didn’t really like the theme and wasn’t sure I’d even attempt it, but somehow I ended up coming up with something that I felt satisfied the theme enough and was interesting enough for me to work on....
I noticed that the shader was not showing shadows properly and also there were alpha issues with any meshes that had occluded faces. This is due to modifying the ALPHA value in the shader. I was able to resolve it by enabling a render setting for godot shaders called depth_prepass_alpha. shader_type spatial; // This is needed for toroids and other objects with faces behind other faces. // It also allows for shadows on meshes with this shader....
I decided to experiment with some shaders in godot. I was able to get something working nice enough that I figured I should write it up. Here’s what it looks like. It’s a simple shader that fades out from the top of the object down. Here is the gdshader code for reference shader_type spatial; uniform sampler2D noise_texture; uniform vec3 base_color : source_color = vec3(0.0, 1.0, 0.0); // The height of the dissolve effect....
I have been experimenting with turn based combat in the Godot game engine. At this stage I have a Turn Queue displayed at the top that shows the order of which character is going to be moved. It removes players as they are killed. There are different attack ranges per weapon type, and there are only 2 weapon types at the moment. It also supports collisions - the characters cannot walk through water or through each other....
This is simple turn based combat techincal example in teh godot engine. Playable Demo It’s playable in the browser on itch.io After playing Bauldur’s Gate 3, I became interested in turn based combat and wanted to take a crack at implementing it. Assets are all free assets from Pixel Frog’s Tiny Swords package
