When player feedback is not enough, data will come to the rescue
Let’s assume you are developing a game: You put your heart into it, make a nice-looking, working prototype and play it by yourself, with your team, with your friends. Everything seems to work well, so it’s time to get your game out there. You manage to release it, maybe on itch.io or even as an alpha on Steam.
So, people are finally playing your game, yay! …but soon you realize that receiving…

Super Starfighter - frantic local-multiplayer game
Super Starfighter – frantic local-multiplayer game
Today I want to show you guys what we have been working on in the last months.
After a few game jams we have been joined, we wanted to, starting from the #devtober challenge to complete a full game. So we wanted to focus on one of our game and make it leave the prototype zone.
The game who chose would be the one is: Superstarfighter. A free game, developed by notapixelstudiowith…

Animated tiles... more or less
Animated tiles… more or less
Tonight I wanted to make something simple and fun: animate the water tiles for DeadBox. I created a 16×16 image for each frame of the animation, eight in total. Each image is simply a translation of the previous one by two pixels to the left, in order to give the illusion of waves when the animation is looping. Fortunately for me, Tiled has support for infinite looping animations, so I simply…

Adding water and buoyancy to a platform game with Godot and Tiled
#godotengine #tiled #
We definitely think that failed results are worth to be shared as the successful ones. That’s what this post is about. DeadBox is a platform game that @notapixelstudio is working on. As stated in the article, we want to practice our knowledge and our ideas in game design/development with this funny game. So we are adding new features and new elements to the gameplay step by step. We started with…

This is deadbox
. With it we want to explore the design and the development of a platform game in GodotEngine.
Today we are going to talk about One-way Collision box. Here is an example of our little hero with a one way collision box.
Example of Deadbox jumping on and off one-way collision tiles
I see lot of tutorial that explains how to add manually a box and CollisionShape2D directly from Godot. But I haven’t seen anything on Tiled.
The maps in our games are made in Tiled. This allows us to build them in a easy way, and use all the fantastic features that Tiled has to offer. In another article we’d post something about our tileset setup, check it out here.
Below there is an image that shows our rules.tmx file. You can see the top left image showing the mapping layers:
harmful: layer for the elements of the map that hurt the player (or anything actually)
solid: layer for the collision elements, like wall, floor, ceiling, platform
bouncy: layer that allows the player to bounce when step on it (To be implemented yet)
water: layer object for the water tile (more in a future post)
jumpthrough: layer that will identify the one-way platform
regions: layer that allows the automapping for Tiled
art: layer that identifies our own tileset
In order to understand better the automapping, I suggest to read the docs.
Mapping layers
properties of one-way collision tile. As you can see ID is 122
tile that will map our main layer (“art”)
In the top right picure we have the properties set of the above mentioned tile. We need to know its ID, in order to let Godot know what is the tile to which apply the function tile_set.tile_set_shape_one_way. Function that is not documented, that allows us to set, via code, CollisionShape2D to One way collision (the same as checking the box “One Way Collision” in Godot).
After having the tilemap imported we need to find the proper layer and put the right CollisionShape to it. Unfortunately for us, the script doesn’t allow, yet, handle types of tiles in a better way than we did it. A big shout out to the developer of this incredible plugin and hopefully the 3.1 version will be released soon enough, as stated here in this issue.
We adopted this workaround: on the gdscript of the root node World we add the following script
# World.gd # enable one-ways collision in jumpthrough layer var jtl = map.get_node('jumpthrough') if jtl: # workaround - waiting for a better implementation in godot-tiled-importer # reference: https://github.com/vnen/godot-tiled-importer/issues/37 jtl.tile_set.tile_set_shape_one_way(123, 0, true)
#123 here is the index of the current tile into the tileset. For some reason the imported tileset starts the index from 1 instead of 0.
#0 is the collisionShape associated to that tile in the tileset.
This workaround is not stable because there is no way to find out the index of the CollisionShape that the plugin gives to the tile when importing the tilemap. That might change if you reimport it with a new map.
We might be wrong about the automapping and setting the right properties, let us know with a comment down below. We would like to know if there is anoter or a better way.
Fail and learn. 🙂
See you next time!

DeadBox tileset II
#tiled #godotengine #godot3 #platform #tileset #tilemap
This is the current “art” for both the tiles and the nameless character of DeadBox, in all its amateur glory. I tried to make it more streamlined than the previous one. It is also 16×16 pixels instead of 32×32, because I wanted to give a more pixelated feel when upscaled. I am not sure about the blocks, but I find the black outline of the character quite useful. In the lower-left corner you can…

DeadBox tileset III This is a test of the third attempt at drawing a tileset for DeadBox. I believe this has a better polish than the previous ones. The fake "perspective" is a bit weird though, and the player seems to be floating above the floor rather than standing on it.
Several years ago, I was watching a trailer of the then-upcoming game Limbo. I honestly don’t know why, but I heavily misunderstood what the game was about. I remember running to one of my fr…

Celeste: open-source Player class
New article! Check it out
Being a huge fan of TowerFall, I was bound to love Celeste. They share a lot of similarities in platforming mechanisms, especially the use of dash. It’s by mastering dash techniques while playing TowerFall with your friends that you become so skilled to perform seemingly superhuman feats. To see an entire single-player game develop around twisting and turning that very mechanic is awesome. Even…
