I'm building a 2.5D game that matches my SuiheisenPad, which is my first custom macropad with 4 keys. It's about a Korean salaryman who is tired of the office life and working under chaebols and runs out of his office building. He's decided that he'll try to run until he can touch the horizon. However, once he reaches the street he has to avoid tons of obstacles.
Took sounds from freesound.org that had CreativeCommons0 licenses and used them in my game! it makes it feel so much more alive :)
Now the game is harder because the obstacles move back faster as the game progresses. I used an autoload Timer for this and it works surprisingly well!
I hope you guys get to try my game out! I’m shipping it rn!
Now if someone calls you in the middle of you playing this game you won’t rage quit lol
I modeled them in blender and stuff and made them modular. There are 5 types of buildings in total currently and 4 building chunk modules.
I tweaked some spawner settings bc the more u got into the game the more weirdly the spawning would be like bursts of difficulty instead of constant accelerated difficulty. so fixed that :)
now there is:
Fixed a bug so now start screen fade out animation works as expected
the player’s height and camera was adjusted so obstacles are better seen and scaling is more realistic
I just made an array of the Node3Ds that had MeshInstance3Ds of each kind of road and made the spawner terrain controller thing alternate between them two :))
i’m trying to figure out how to make an infinite scroller in 3d godot but since it’s not like 2d u can’t just put parallax… u need to actual write a script to generate the mesh and get rid of them accordingly while moving all the mesh towards the player. and my tiny brain cannot wrap my head around it. so here’s what it looks like so far before i find out how to do this infinite 3d scroller thing :’)
now the game over scene has a cool cubicle graphic (i drew it on aseprite all graphics here are custom-made) and it blinks. the instruction to go back to the start menu looks like that because this game is supposed to pair with my SuiheisenPad micropad (like an arcade machine)
The cubicle changes depending on the message that the game chooses
Now the player goes still when the game is over and it’s fading out, and the player’s side dodge collisions aren’t spheres but custom convex 3D shapes so that they can’t dodge the limbo obstacle
now when game over happens the main scene fades out to black and game over fades in
yippee
I made the running animation look less cut off on the sides
I made the dodging animations more polished with outlines
when the horizon bar is at 0 the game over scene is cued
now there’s a randomization of 4 messages, them being
I added the horizon bar, which is basically this game’s version of a health bar. It’s to fit the concept tho. Basically, the premise of the game is that this office worker is trying to escape his mundane office life running towards the horizon. (wants to chase the horizon and touch it) so yeah that’s why the bar is a sky themed thing–it’s to represent the horizon almost.
This took me way too long to figure out
the obstacles spawn more frequently by 1% every 3 seconds
spawning cap and cooldown for spawning are safeguards so that the game isn’t impossible
If the player successfully avoids the obstacle, points are registered. If not, then points are not registered (soon there will be a consequence implemented as well.)
Player collision optimized so that people don’t rage quit while playing lollll I had to make custom convex CollisionShapeD for limbo and regular running position
Player now is forced to return to the running position after 0.5 seconds! unless you spam the button–in that case the player will remain in that position.
Obstacles now spawn randomly with a slightly higher weight for the limbo obstacle (1.2x more likely to pop up, tentative number)
Collisions are looking good so far! I will update them accordingly if they’re not accurate but they’ve been through like 10 rounds of optimization atp lol
As you can see, I also assigned CollisionShape3D based on the character’s position. So when the player doesn’t dodge this left obstacle that is repeatedly spawned after 3 seconds, it will print “OI HIT” but if the player dodges to the right then it won’t collide. Obviously I’ll replace this OI HIT printing with actual game logic, namely losing a life.
I made a basic running animation as well as dodging animations to accompany it. I stupidly made an idle animation and quickly realized I wouldn’t ever use it but whatevs.
