Improve Your Game Feel With Coyote Time and Jump Buffering Game Endeavor 2020-03-14 | Making your game feel fair and responsive is absolutely critical. Interestingly enough this means that you will need to make your game unfair, but in favor of your player. Coyote Time and Jump Buffering are commonly used tricks in platformer games to make the whole platforming aspect (admittedly a pretty important aspect of the game) feel a lot better. Coyote Time is a brief period of time after a player walks over a ledge that they are still able to jump (and in this video even defy gravity), and Jump Buffering is a brief period of time (starting to notice a pattern yet?) where the player presses the jump button but they're not grounded, we remember that they pressed the jump button, and cause them to jump.Become a patron to get exclusive content and support the channel: patreon.com/GameEndeavor Join Our Community!

How to Make Your Player Swim in Godot 3.1 Game Endeavor 2019-12-28 | Getting your player character to swim is an interesting challenge to tackle as a developer. There are countless ways to implement it, each with their own pros and cons. In this video, I'll be showing you one way to implement swimming in your game. This style of swimming will cause the player to float upwards towards the surface of the water, and then tread water when near the surface, and allow them to jump out of the water. You can modify this however you like. An alternative style would be like Super Mario World where your character always floats down, but the jump button causes your character to float upwards.

How to Aim Ranged Attacks With Gravity in Godot 3.1 Game Endeavor 2019-06-07 | Gravity in games has a tendancy to make things complicated. If you're aiming your projectiles with trial and error methods, then you're wasting valuable time, the result isn't likely going to be what you want, and it will have limitations. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to use kinematic equations to aim projectiles influenced by gravity so that they hit their mark perfectly. This allows you to aim at targets dynamically no matter where they are.Become a patron to get exclusive content and support the channel:patreon.com/GameEndeavorJoin Our Community!

How to Make a Simple State Machine in Godot 3.1 Game Endeavor 2019-05-03 | Howdy! If you've ever tried adding cool features to your player character, but quickly found that the code became confusing and riddled with bugs, then this video is for you. We're going to be taking a look at my most tried and true method for creating state machines. State machines will limit the scope of your code based on the condition it is in. This allows us to create things such as a more advanced character controller, as well as start dabbling in the basics of enemy ai, which we will be covering very soon!For a better look at why state machines are so useful, check out this link that explains why we need state machines: http://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/state.htmlInterested in the clip of Transmogrified that I showed?

How to Set Jump Height in Godot 3.0 Game Endeavor 2018-11-02 | In this tutorial, you'll learn how to define a specific jump height and duration to your player controller using kinematic equations. This is the easiest way to polish your physics, because it allows you to tweak these values directly rather than arbitrarily setting values for gravity and jump velocity. With this we can also set a minimum jump velocity, which we'll use to vary our jump height so that the player can choose how high they want to jump.Become a patron to get exclusive content and support the channel:patreon.com/GameEndeavorJoin Our Community!
