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.
