First Post

My first proper game project. After spending some time getting familiar with Godot, I went into this project not knowing anything about how to make a game without following a very specific tutorial. Now I'm happy to say that I'm starting to understand how to think about solving problems and creating my own unique solutions to game design issues I faced.

What went right:

• I made a game!
• It functions as intended
• It was fun to do
• I learned a lot about the entire process of making a 2D game, everything from movement to HUDs and SFX.

What went wrong:

• There were many features I wanted that I couldn't implement (pause menu, enemies following paths, power-ups, health packs, a boss, a high-score leaderboard)
• It took far longer than anticipated.
• Had some issues with assets

Overall, I had a great time making this and I can't wait to get started on my next project!
