Upcoming: 2D Platformer v3.0.0

Hello, ExclusiveKnight here again. Sorry for not updating 2D Platformer for 2+ years. The latest update was during Game Jam, but that ended a long time ago. I have been working on the game from time to time, having fun coding a little bit and experimenting things. I have also been quite busy with life and school.

I have created other projects that aren't made for the public since I made them just to try out new coding skills. I might release one of my games if I feel like it, so stay tuned on that.

2D Platformer v3.0.0 release date has not been planned yet as there is still a lot of features missing and features that are not finished. I have made changes to already existing features from 2D Platformer v2.0.6, and they are more polished than ever before.

The upcoming major changes in 2D Platformer v3.0.0 include:

• Overall game optimizations:
  • Instancing for menu screens has been recoded into a function, which can be used to instance any scene without many lines of code.
  • The code for the player has been recoded for more smoother character and camera movement.
  • The HUD has been recoded, the FPS counter now uses the appropriate Performance class built into Godot Engine.
  • Many more...
• Design
  • The main menu has been completely redesigned for easier navigation through different menus.
  • HUD has been redesigned with more things on the screen, with the introduction of the "debug screen".
  • Multiple different levels will be introduced to the game instead of a single giant level.
  • Different textures will be used for the game.
  • The background will be different and can now move while moving around instead of a static background.
• Sound
  • Added new sounds for different game events.
  • Introduced a sound system that will be used to better handle event calls from other functions to play, stop, and mute game sounds.
• Project page
  • New game name.
  • Enchanced game image.
  • Short description about the game.
  • Discord server for 2D Platformer.
• Game engine
  • Moving from Godot v3.4.4 to Godot v4.2.1.

I have no further plans to release any updates after this one, only bug fixes will be pushed out ONLY if they are reported. I don't have the time to test the game thoroughly by myself. This game will be open source soon for everyone to freely contribute to the project. Thank you and goodbye.
