Dungeon

More Pause Menu

I don't utilize Godot's built-in stuff for UIs very well which results in silly issues like this. Will I take time to figure it out properly? Maybe. Will I continue to use hacky, janky, fixes. Certainly

a clip from my second devlog... you should watch it :>

Damage Popups

The whole point is to provide context on what important modifiers might have applied to the damage. I've overhauled the battle system a bit since so they don't look like this anymore but yea progress...

Results Screen (In engine!)

This was like the last thing I added before terrain bugged me out so much that I decided rewriting the entire codebase and switching to 3D would be more enjoyable than trying to get it to work

Battle Scene

Since I had to rewrite everything while porting to Godot 4, I decided to make some tweaks to the battle scene. The UI changed a bit but float text is mostly the same...

Yellow Yellow, this is content that would have probably appeared on twitter in the middle of 2023...

took about a year and a half but now you can do not battle things and switch to battle things.

I saw your devlog and I adored it! I can't wait to play your game someday ^_^

Thanks! I liked your devlog for Expiration Date, good luck with development!

i feel like Mario as a metroidvania is a concept that hasn't been explored as much as it should

i feel like it's rich with potential for that

I don't think you could implement anything like the standard upgrade treadmill without doing violence to Mario's basic idiom. When I picture a Mario game with a large interconnected world, I see something less like a metroidvania and more like the sub-game "The Great Cave Offensive" from Kirby Super Star; i.e., there'd be no permanent upgrades, but a wide range of temporary, mutually exclusive powerups, most of which can only be obtained in particular regions of the map, with the open-world traversal being purely a challenge of routing – identifying an obstacle at point A as requiring a powerup which can only be obtained at point B, and figuring out how to travel between those two points using the capabilities that powerup provides.
