Schmovement Thingy

[sharp jewel]

Untitled retro fast paced game

Schmovement.

[sharp jewel]

Played with shaders and colors

[sharp jewel]

Vaulting

[marsh shoal]

This looks really cool. I have one question though, do you increase the chromatic aberration when moving fast or dashing? It looks like it at seconds 8 and 13

[sharp jewel]

yes, is it to subtle?

[marsh shoal]

No, I would say that it's good. Does the effect get stronger proportionally to the speed? That could maybe look nice, but I am no expert.

[sharp jewel]

thanks for the feedback!

[sharp jewel]

don't mind my arms...

[gaunt veldt]

Dude! That's sweet? What shaders are you using to get this effect? I notice brightness, dithering and chromatic aberration?

[sharp jewel]

your right! i also use a screen cavity shader

[sharp jewel]

that's about it

[gaunt veldt]

Whoa what's that? Never heard of a cavity shader

[sharp jewel]

https://godotshaders.com/shader/screen-cavity/

there you go

[gaunt veldt]

SIck. So cavity highlights edges?

[sharp jewel]

yep

Added my arms

[sharp jewel]

Juicy Hands!

[winter zephyr]

yo, this looks super cool!

[sharp jewel]

thanks!

[late vessel]

looks cool overall, but i think that the hands look weird in this setting. something like how white knuckle does it would look better i think (i may be wrong tho)

[sharp jewel]

Aim assist!

[sharp jewel]

Rate my new enemy 🥵

[whole gulch]

No idea what it is but I love and fear it

[sharp jewel]

He's a rock with extremely good skin care routines

[whole gulch]

I hate the fact that you’re right. Cuz that is what you described it as

[whole gulch]

Also btw I’m loving the shader you have!

For the screen and stuff

Me like

[whole gulch]

Is it like a shader you found online or one you made yourself?

[sharp jewel]

i made it myself combined with some online shaders

[whole gulch]

Neat! I like it

[sharp jewel]

I'm making quite a wierd game here...

[sharp jewel]

this rock is acting wierd

[whole gulch]

Oh dear god………. Shoot it. Shoot it now

[sharp jewel]

i'm trying, he won't budge

he wanna kiss or something 💋

[whole gulch]

Sad

[whole gulch]

Probably considering the size of bros lips

[hybrid mango]

i love him

[sharp jewel]

he's taken sorry

[sharp jewel]

I'm working on rock man a bit more

then i'm gonna post an update...

[sharp jewel]

i worked on the enviroment a little more

[sharp jewel]

just optimized my game so it runs at 60 fps at 2k resolution

i'm only using i think 280 by 210 pixels

that's a win!

[sharp jewel]

i added some jpeg compression shaders and lense distortion

it looks damn nice!

[dire stag]

are you just rotating the camera for the shake or changing the position as well ?

[sharp jewel]

rotating only!

[dire stag]

can you give me some tips on how to juice up your game ? your game's camera is manipulated a lot in respect to player's motion, some things i can notice are z rotation sway when looking, camera bob, and screen shake

[sharp jewel]

Just feedback, something as simple as when you rotate the camera, you give feedback to it, which will add more juice! or when you land, the camera dips down a little bit before going back up. it's pretty simple but effective

[sharp jewel]

so i added this wierdo

trust me, he looks better in action

[sharp jewel]

I also added theese columns!

[sharp jewel]

i'm grabbing a cylinder

[tame wharf]

this looks super cool!

[sharp jewel]

🧚

[slim sedge]

this is why i love gamedev its because of stuff like this lmaoo

[sharp jewel]

heres a little peak at the level prototype

[sharp jewel]

finished some more work today, got exam the whole week so no progress

[whole lily]

the graphics look sick!

[sharp jewel]

Blud is not mr beast 💀

[sharp jewel]

these past few days, im working on performance so it can run on a potato, im using mac so it's already a potato but ya know

sorry if footage laggy, the games gets slower everytime i record

[sharp jewel]

these wierdos keep folowing me

(i zoomed out the cam for testing purposes)

[sharp jewel]

crazy glowup!

[sharp jewel]

free handpic!

[sharp jewel]

Soda Cans are now throwable!

[tame wharf]

the soda cans should explode

[sharp jewel]

good idea!

[main arch]

I love this

[sharp jewel]

we got aim assist on CANS! yipee

[sharp jewel]

Jolt physics is great! i tried to use godot physics and it dropped down to 30-45 fps max 😭 , just changed it to jolt physics and ran great at 3k resolution 👍

i'm never using 3k resolution, but it was a good benchmark

[sharp jewel]

i just added a bunch enemies to the game

my computer was taking off so i have to do some more performance optimizations

made a little "SOFT COLLISION" function

and fustrum culling

some better lod tweaks

and the guys won't work offscreen

now it ran from 3-5 fps (yes i tested) to 50-60

before and after

[sharp jewel]

Hey guys, a little sad update, my MacBook updated (out of my control, I forgot to turn off auto update), and since I don't have any git pages for this project, the game file unfortunately got washed away. I tried everything, including using Disk Drill and Time Machine. But in the end, nothing works. I will be working on a small new game that will hopefully make it to release. Thank you for your support! It meant a lot to me 😿

[cosmic rock]

Omg sorry to hear that. You can always consider the time spent on it as learning new stuff, so it's not wasted in any case. But I understand this sucks. This looked like a really fun project, so you can consider starting it again at some point? In any case do use version control, it's really easy to set up. And you'll be having history of everything in case something stops working and you cant figure out why. Good luck with the new project! 👍

[slim sedge]

awhe man im really sorry to hear that

[sharp jewel]

i'm now working on a brand new project with version control. so hopefully i won't losse all of my progress

[cosmic rock]

Yeah it is completely vital, it's not just progress but sometimes you mess up stuff yourself or Godot messes up. Then you can just go back or at least check what changed.

[glacial panther]

also with git you never have to comment out code, you can always just view version history in any decent IDE if you eventually need that code you would have commented out

[sharp jewel]

hey guys

HUGE UPDATE

i'm reworking on the project

i just found all the asset folders, no scenes, no script, just the sprites and stuff

i don't know how its still there

but i'm currently working on the base movement and the arms rn

[slim sedge]

yipee! :3

[sharp jewel]

alright guys, i've been really busy with school n stuff, but i got some updates... the basic movement is now complete and feels way better & snappier than the old movement :) i'm proud of it

[sharp jewel]

ok guys

here is some progress update!!!

i've been like really busy with school

but i managed to squeeze some time out for this little project :)

thanks yall for following these updates

[dire stag]

halo... i was wondering how you did the bouncy hands... ik it was some spring physics equation, but can you shake a peek of the code ?

[brittle veldt]

Love the bouncy movements when exiting/entering crouching. Def implementing that in my schmovement game. Great work!

[finite halo]

dear god..
