Super-noob #Godot question:
I have a very simple 2D platformer with a tilemap to make the background and the platform, and a character with basic movement. I know how to "paint" some of my tiles with the "physics layer" so the character can stand on them etc, but if I try to include a "rigidbody2d", it bounces against my charachter, but passes straight through the floor tiles. Let' s say I am baffled and have no clue which beginner mistake I am making.
I hate that so many tutorials and whatnot are video rather than text, for a variety of reasons.
If I had copious spare time I'd write tutorials for Godot. Almost all of the Godot instructional material I've found has been video… constantly pausing the video to try out whatever they're talking about is annoying, it takes me 3-4 hours to get through an hour of video tutorial.
Oh man oh dang I just figured out how to do something really hard and my code worked the first time and the hell do you MEAN 27 errors come here I'll show you 27 errors #godot#godotengine#indiedev#gamedev
#godot developers, what's your best practice for Steam cloud saves? Until now I've used the Godot "user data folder" for save games, but obviously Steam has no knowledge of that folder. Just curious what you all do, if you use cloud saves at all.
The next bit I want to do is the Town Scene.
This will have Shops to buy equipment, and sell loot
I have an Inventory System, that includes "external Inventory" e.g. treasure chest. I'm thinking that something similar, but with Prices attached, should work?
The system uses click-to-pick-up, click-to-drop (in inventories) rather than drag-n-drop, so checking Player has enough Gold on Pick up, subtract Gold on Drop (into Player inventory)?
I have an Inventory System
Items are stored as ItemData (and sub-classes, e.g. ItemDataConsumable)
A Consumable can have Ratings (e.g. heal_value, mana_restorted)
When Used, this triggers the Function in it's Class, which checks what property the item has, and acts appropriately.
I can see this getting very cumbersome.
Do I stick with it, and keep expanding the USE function, or try to mangle a new solution?
Progress:
Inventory Tutorial finished.
Basics working. Features include Stackable, Usable, Equipment, Chests and HotBar.
Screenshots show Proc-Gen dungeon with random Portal (white) and Chest (red).
Great timing! I was just about to figure out the animation system in Godot. Can't wait for the 4.3 along with all the other improvements (like exporting GDScript files as binary files).
Here's a first look into how my solo game dev project is coming along!
It's an action deck builder where you play as a witch with the goal of clearing restless nature spirits. You will be able to capture spirits and summon them as familiars!
Now we're cooking! Shown here is the interaction between different subsystems - I'm using the Command Pattern which makes implementation pretty straight-forward.
Next up is finding an interesting way to limit the undo feature - Any ideas?
