I’ve had a hard time understanding why my game was bugging the last few days, so I decided to take a break and play video games with my husband this week-end. We had fun with Slots & Daggers and Super Fantasy Kingdom.

Today, I’m back with a refreshed mind and enough motivation to finally debug it all, and make some progress with my game!

Done

I first created a sprite sheet in Aseprite with my Irmz character’s animations: idle left, idle right, run left and run right. Then I imported it in Godot and created the animations in the animation player.

character_irmz.tscn

Then I had the hardest time to make it do what I want (face the last horizontal direction pressed, but use either idle or run animations with it).

irmz.gd

character_irmz.tscn

And at last, I searched how to remove the mouse cursor when the start level begins.

start_level.gd

It’s probably not perfect code, but I saw a video the other day on how Undertale is a horribly made game and it totally removed my complexes. I am not claiming I will have the same level of success, but I also don’t fret about writing perfect code anymore, and in my book that’s a win. 😊

Check it out!

To Do Next

I still haven’t found a way to do this easily, so I will keep on searching:

• Find a way to have the fullscreen checkbox toggled on in the options menu when starting in fullscreen mode
• make the game save the options chosen
• Add enemies (zombies!)
• Have the camera follow the player

But this is a problem for next time. I will now rest.

Have a great day! 😊
