I Made A Top Down Platformer In 7 Days - GODOT GAME JAM DEVLOG

Really liked this

Reminds me of Super Mario RPG

Beautifully done great game 🖤

took me so long to remember that a game can look stunning but that looks don't translate into the playability. i saw the game looks so freaking amazing and just assumed you were gonna win the game jam

Well done

I'm curious about how you stumble across the game loop. You seem to have a habit of just designing a fun player controller and a mechanic or too, but it feels like forever before I see the loop or objective. Something about a big portal at the end of the level. I'm curious why you didn't include other obstacles or enemies or challenges. You tried to include a feature that lets you gain new abilities and then replay levels to explore area who couldn't reach before. What was that more of an afterthought for you?

"oh yeah sorry didnt have time to make good music for the game"
creates a beautiful track for the game
really nice video, game looks really good also :) hope you'll see it one day in your own projects (:

Nice game!

I think you could make those moving and disappearing platforms look less scary by painting a timer on them. With a visible countdown it would be more obvious that it's better to delay their activation. Or any sort of visual cue to the same effect.

Bro ur game is awesome

I've only done one game jam but there is something so intoxicating about those last 8-12 hours before deadline where the flow-state is super easy to enter and time becomes a singularity. Perhaps it's just my being a procastinator, but I live for an impending deadline.
Absolutely love the music, by the way. Even the background music you use in this video, an the way you've mixed it (where you have) is really neat. Instant subscribe.

Would you ever consider making a video giving a step by step process explaining how you make a game? I've been struggling in making my own 2D platformer, and seeing someone show every step would help so much.

Looks great!

It looks like super awesome game! Sometime, I'll definitely play it

how do i get to your level of game developing?

Great work

Is anyone gonna talk about the absolutely fire background music?

Wow amazing! It would be fantastic, if you started doing tutorial-like videos. It looks like you have tons of good knowledge, thoughts, ideas and art taste to share.

Beautiful game!

what program do you use for your sprites ? I'm using aseprite but how do you do isometric stuff ? different program ??

I just started going into gamedev and I'm now working on my own platformer and jeez this art is amazing just how do you do that ? what resoultion for sprites do you use 16x16 32x32 or diff?
I'm making it in 2d but not isometric how is that much difference in creating 2d platfromer or isometric ? do you change how you create objects or characters for the game ?

this game is so pretty!

Normal people: I Made A Top Down Platformer In 7 Days
Me: I copy pasted a movement script into my project in 23 days.

Your art skills are genuinely so impressive, great job

What Da Heail you say, how are you so good ! bro the game is insane is that A GAME JAM LEVEL, WHAT IS THE NORMAL LEVEL THEN

this is so cool :3

you have inspired me so much like im really bad especially with code but im trying to improve :)

You're funny xx love you

I love the art style of the game and the lonely feel
it will be amazing if you made this into a game that you can publish in steam and other platforms

Nice but is that really top down?

this game is lowkey so pretty what

man I hate this so much... I can't even put it to words. I wanna make a game but I sure as hell don't have a week to waste on making one, let alone more than that to make a worthwhile game.
I like what you made, it's ugly but whatever, it has some soul. But the fact that I can't make something like this myself is just so painful.
Ofc I don't wanna make just a platformer, but something kinda like this but with actual graphics and combat would be nice for a start.
Anyway sorry for my depressing rant, I don't hate your game or the video or anything, just hate how unworthy it makes me feel.

You are the most underrated game dev i have ever seen Keep up the amazing work man the pixelart the gameplay everything is amazing :)

What version of godot did you use?

Hey man great game, what is that tween/tween node you mentioned? It's said that the game is run 90% by it. What does it do?

i love how smooth the movement is

You've earned a sub- just going to say that right away, and goodness gracious the oozing talent I almost don't believe you when you say you did all of this alone with no help except testing. That's crazy I love it! I'd like to get into game making too I've been using blender in my free time outside of work. Would love to have you teach me or tutorials. Anyways congrats man good luck!

This is nsane level of quality and production just for one person for 7 days!

The disappearing platforms could have some form of visual indication telling the players when the platform will disappear. It could help less experienced player realize they still have time to stand on it and don't need to jump off it asap. Some examples are Mega Man, which has timers on their disappearing platforms, Mario platforms iirc just fall down immediately but you know you will only lose once Mario is out of the screen, Crash Bandicoot boxes have a beeping sound

love how the game looks and love how many cool extras you put in there 😳 it's still hard to believe that you could execute such a cool game in such a short time 😳

I need a full version, idk who's ginna make it but isometric 3d(?) platformer works so well, and you made such an awesome prototype, ugh i want MORE OF IT-

wtf thats crazy, and i think that perspective is called isometric not topdown
really cool end result, hope to see more of this

Wow nice work

holy shit dude you've got potential

great game

I love this devlog, your video style is really funny and very calming

I love platformers and this looks like such a fun and creative one. I would love to be able to play it someday.

You mentioned you worked on your laptop sometimes. What laptop do you use?
