Fixing Camera and adding a NEW ENEMY in my Dog Platformer
Welcome back to my game development series about solo developing a game about my dog in the Godot engine. In this episode I fix and tweak the camera, background, and add a new shooting enemy.
Thank you again for all the support on episode 1! I never in a million years thought so many people would care about my first game especially when I really don't know what I'm doing (is that obvious yet??). I'm striving to get better every day so please leave any suggestions in the comments!

Starting Solo Dev On My FIRST Game!
Переглядів 5 тис.14 днів тому
Welcome to my first devlog about my 2D dog platformer made in Godot 4! In this video we start iterating on the progress from the Brackeys Godot 4 tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/LOhfqjmasi0/v-deo.htmlsi=gHT_LC_w9p7VwOJl I was inconsistent in keeping up with recording and documenting my progress. I'll make sure episode 2 is a much better video. Be sure to leave a comment about what I can do to improv...

    As someone who has done at least 100 pixel arts and around 20 pixel art animations in a-sprite I would be super proud to make such a cutie patootie doggo :)

    Yo this game looks so good! If you are looking to implement more platformer mechanics you should checkout “BiLLz Devs”. He’s got an awesome series on platformer mechanics such as wall climbing, moving platforms, dashing, etc.

    Nice camera improvements. Rather than use an area2d node for your shoot detection you can use a raycast. I found a video that will explain this better than I can in a comment. "Creating a basic 2d platform shooter in Godot! (Part 3) - Raycast, LifeBar, Debugging" by RH GameDev The raycast is added at about 2:57. I haven't watched this whole video and don't know how good it is overall but it should get you going.

    Great progress and so much beautiful art. As of the area2d, on my own game, I first wrote a function to shoot(), then in area2d, I check if body.is_in_group(player) then shoot(). On my script this works most of the time. Also, you'd want to add some timer so that the enemy shoots every 2 seconds while player is in tha area2d. I can helo further if needed! Good luck.

    You should change the tileset from the premade brackeys one. Looking great though!

    • @JakeDevGames
      @JakeDevGames 2 дні тому

      Absolutely! Once gameplay is a little more fleshed out I’ll spend some time on creating a tile set. Thanks for watching!

    Your art is really impressive and fits into the style of the game really well. I'm not sure if I like the gaps between tile corners because you can see the background through them and it looks a little odd. Are you going to draw your own tilemap at some point? You definitely have the art skill for it and it would be another good opportunity to stylize the world.

    • @JakeDevGames
      @JakeDevGames 2 дні тому

      Yes I plan on drawing my own tile set once I get the gameplay more settled. I don’t love the rounded tiles but it’s leftover from the tutorial. Thanks for the kind words and the feedback!

    That's some nice progress! I really like how you explain the technical difficulties you encountered. I'm thinking maybe next month I'll hop back onto my own game idea (right now life is a bit hectic ad I don't have the energy to learn news things haha). I can't wait to see future updates !

  • @brotherdaniel1524
    @brotherdaniel1524 3 дні тому

    So, I don't know much about Godot, but I would see jf theres a command you can use to overlay a type of sight mechanic. Basically, use a box on top of your shooting enemy that measures a zone of sight. When the player enters that, the enemy starts to shoot. Also, I love the special ops cat, but I'm disappointed that the shooter enemy isn't a cat hacking up hairballs.

    • @JakeDevGames
      @JakeDevGames 3 дні тому

      Ha! Hairballs could be interesting (kinda gross too lol)

  • @InSincere6617
    @InSincere6617 3 дні тому

    3:30 the way i would do it, is when the player enters the area3D a variable is set to true. If the variable is true the guy shoots. And then when the player exits its false

    • @JakeDevGames

    Nice progress, am fairly new to game / app dev myself (have 2 main projects I am working on when I have the time for them) nice to see someone like you actually posting stuff online even though you are new to this sort of thing, helps me keep wanting to go on myself despite some negative comments I've already had

    Hey first view straight after seeing your first video! I'm enjoying seeing your progress. I'm in a similar boat - job family etc - so have tried game dev a few times without successfully sticking to it. This series has inspired me to persist and maybe even document and publish some progress. I've also just done Brackeys Godot tutorial and found it super helpful. Keep up the good work!

    Glad to see I'm not the only one jumping into game development right now! Coming from an artist I've always wanted to make a video game but couldn't bring myself into doing so until a few days ago! I hope to see many more of your videos soon and your Doggo and Catto pixel art look amazing!!! :3

    Hey nice video! Don't be hard on yourself about recording and the video habit, you did a good job! My biggest struggle is definitely making devlog videos but it gets easier. I just try to remember it's okay to put out crappy videos which might explain why my videos are crappy... 🤣🤣

  • @croco1772
    @croco1772 8 днів тому

    Loved the vid. Your art, especially the dog, is so charming. I was, not too long ago, also making my first game in Godot. It’s fun to see others start out and watch the learning process. Good luck!

  • @Soraphis91

    instead of adding more different colliders to your objects, it might be better to just check the players position/velocity relative to the enemy to see if the player killed the enemey or vice versa. then you don't have the hassle of needing colliders to stick out to the sides, such that the player cannot touch both different collider types at the same time and so on. if the player has a downward velocity and the pivot point of the player is above the pivot (or center/ or top) of your player he is the one attacking.

  • @___wye

    You're off to a great start! I've been carrying around a similar game idea in my head, but there's definitely room in this world for more than one dog platformer. :) Good luck on your project! One thing I noticed is that you seem to have your parallax backwards? Layers that are closer should move faster, so when you move e.g. right, they move left relative to what's behind them. (Same for vertical.) That might be the only thing making the movement jarring, and it would probably look fine otherwise!

    That's a very cute project! Love the pixel art! I have also started creating a little platformer thanks to the same tutorial, with otters and fish collecting. Maybe I'll get back to it at some point...

  • @_AngeloDev

    Ok so ,making a generic platformer for steam is not the best choice ,it’s a cool game ,but you’ll have to think: “why is my game different from millions of other platformers out there?” ,u can merge ur idea with other genres like “automation ,puzzle.. etc” and try making it more original :D

    • @JakeDevGames
      @JakeDevGames 12 днів тому

      I completely agree! This game is less about making a commercially viable game and more learning the ins and outs of the engine and the steam pipeline as far as getting a store page set up, and how pushing out patches and updates works. All so I can be prepared for the next game if that makes sense. That being said, I’ll think about what I can do to make the gameplay stand out with maybe another hook or sub genre. Thanks for the insight!

    • @JakeDevGames
      @JakeDevGames 13 днів тому

      @@owenmitchell232 Originally I think the enemies did collide and switch directions but I changed it. I liked the idea of the enemies able to stay in a little patrolling formation and march back and forth around a little area without hitting each other. As the game progresses I’ll keep it in mind and may go back who knows! Thanks for watching!
