Devlog 8

Big update
Continued building the game, and started by adding another level. This level will be above ground, with new enemies and features.
So far I have set it up for building, as well as added a fox, that took way too much time to code its death, and animations. I will also add other animals soon.
I finished up the enemies in the first level too. But currently haven’t added any more sound effects or music for the new stuff.

Devlog 7

Added simple enemies.
Shipped a while ago but decided to continue on the game. I chose to first start making some new enemies.
It was easy until I had to code the animations and health loss, so a lot of my time went into that. But I pretty much got it to work. I still need to code the death of the enemy though.

Devlog 6

Finished the game!
Made some tweaks and then exported the game. I then made my own page on itch.io and uploaded the game there.
Dungeon Climber is now live so go check it out!

Devlog 5

Added a win screen and a game over screen
I created a simple win and lose screen with a restart and quit option each.
It took a long time to make the win screen animation, but the music for both of them was really easy.
I’m fairly done with the game, and just need to make some tweaks and fixes until I’m ready to ship.

Devlog 4

Added music and sound effects.
Put some background music for the main menu and level, and had to figure out how to make transitions between them using tweens. 
Also made some sound effects for stuff like opening chests and taking damage.

Devlog 3

Added a health and points system. Created a simple health system with 3 lives that resets the level when you lose all of them. Took a long time for debugging and fixing the code to make the player die properly but I was finally able to make it work.
Along with that I also made a point system which just counts the amount of chests you open, which was easy enough. 

Also made some changes to the main menu animations. 

Devlog 2

Finished level building, and added a main menu.

It took about an hour just to find and extend the image for the animation, but actually making the animation was relatively easy.
I also made sure the character can’t move after going in the exit door.

Devlog 1/Catch up:

Over the summer I was working on a 2d platformer in Godot about a knight that’s stuck in a dungeon. However, I just turned 13 so I couldn’t track those hours or post any updates. So this will serve as a “catch up” of everything I did in that time. I also followed some Coco Code tutorials along the way but mainly did it myself and did my own things. I have separated everything I did into 4 parts, with the last being what the currently logged hours are for.

Part 1:

• I found and imported some asset packs (sprites, backgrounds, tilesheets) into the project.
• Created a tilemap and background(also added physics collisions). Started building some of the game.
• Added a CharacterBody2d, and its AnimatedSprite2d and collision shape. Also added the animations for the character.
• Wrote the core movement for the character set up player input mappings for wasd and arrow keys.

Part 2: 

• Added a Camera2d to the player so that the camera follows the player.
• Created ladders using the tilemap and coded their movement.
• Made moving and static platforms using an AnimatableBody2d and an AnimationPlayer(for the moving ones).
• Also added chests that you can find throughout the level and open(they currently don’t give or do anything).

Part 3:

• Added traps(spikes), that reset the level.
• Continued building the level.
• Added an exit door and made its animation.
• Added an animation for ladder climbing.
