Devlog 1: Making A Binding Of Issac-Like -- Sort Of

Поделиться
HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 4 май 2024
  • The start of a devlog series about a roguelike game I'm developing. The game is similar to Binding of Issac, Nuclear throne, Wizards of legends, Dungeon souls, etc. You know, that top down-y shoot-y dodge-y random-y genre of games. The plan is to make a game that will have enough randomization and content to keep players amused for hours. Or at least one hour. 😅

      Thanks! Hopefully that means I can get more enemies in the game than if I had to make the art myself. I've finished ~8 now, and I think from here I'll just add "advanced" variations with a few tweaked mechanics.
      Then I'll have a bunch of enemy variety and I can move on to other mechanics.

    I was so stoked when I saw this in the example projects! My gf and I played for an hour back and fourth trying to beat each others high scores! Then my son came out and got higher than any of us lol. It was also super useful to study the logic. I’m still new to game dev and it explained so many things I didn’t know how to do. Was a real help to my shooter project.

      It's the style of rooms, and the upgrades that were taken from Binding of Issac. But there are a bunch of influences.

  • @qmerk2661
    @qmerk2661 Год назад +1

    first off. i love this guy! such great videos!
    but i have a question(that hopefully someone can help with)
    the way he has the rooms. how does one go about making that?
    if they are randomly generated , then what is random about them? are there a couple random designs of the rooms, and then randomly generate the spikes and enemies? or are the rooms designed with the spikes and then he makes those rooms random? im trying to make a game that has the "go thru room door, and end up in another, and then again and again" kind of game. but cant seem to figure out how its done.
    any help leading me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
    (also, if there is a tutorial that i cant find, that would teach how to do this, would be amazing)

    • @HelperWesley
      @HelperWesley  Год назад +1

      If you use GDevelop, you can open up the base game example under the name "Conviction of Gun Dude" and check it out.
      Otherwise, it's 2 different objects with a bunch of prebuilt layouts, the rooms and the spikes. And when you walk in to a new room it picks one of the prebuilt combinations and places it down. My version is really basic because it actually forgets the rooms behind you as you go. Otherwise it would require remembering the rooms and what the layout was, which rooms were corner pieces and such. Which would be a lot more difficult. 😅
      And then after it picks the room layout to slap down, it grabs the enemies in the same way. I've prebuilt some enemy "teams" and it picks them and places them randomly in that room when it's spawned.

    i just got an instant brainstorm rn about your game.
    my suggestion is,the player/s can buy weapons,and switch them while moving,and you can buy items,,one items for attack,defence,and,temporary buffs.(like ln rpg shops,where theres a section of defense items,attack,and potions/buff items),,the character have five slots,and he must chose items wisely,the character,can change the weapons,before he enter the room,and after he cleared the room.and maybe,put a mission per rooms,like example ,one room,before you can enter to the next one,you must complete ,specific mission/s(ex is you must rescue a group of people who are trap inside that room,and find them before they are going to get eaten/killed by those monsters.and put npcs like prisoners/a random shop stand with a vendor/,,and he will ask you to buy those items(you can hint it to the player,cause you can put a specific item that can counter the boss inside,and the player must think,if he can used those items or not),and when you destroy the cage/s,they will run away,or maybe put a mini story or a solid premise on it,and a boss that invisible for a short time,and a snake monster, that spits poison,will be great to add i think ,and also make the bosses a specific and unique ultimate skill and weaknesses,ex for ultimate skills are stunn,or curse,or shield,or able to manipulate you if you hit by that skill(what i mean is,when the character is hit by the skill,temporary, you cant control the character it wobbles like it panics for a short period of time),,and also,walls that pop out randomly or traps that can make the character die in an instant,and a saving point/flag,cause if he dies,he can respawn to the last checkpoint he completed ,when you enter that room,to add extra challenge,also you can upgrade the weapons,but they are also vulnerable,and can be destroyed,,but can be repaired,as they are getting/receiving the damage/s,the quality how they shoots like accuracy and quality will damage also.and you can add puzzles like a room,where after you defeated the boss,the main character noticed that he cant enter,and a clue drops on him,and he must find the secret doors,and when he find those doors,he must choose wisely,if he opened the wrong door,who is filled with random mid range not so strong monsters.that can waste his bullets that hes saving to the next room.
