PiN the Guardian Spirit - Action 2D Platformer [Wishlist/Try the demo on Steam!]

Thanks bud!

Yeah, just trying to find a style that feels natural and can edit relatively quickly.

I suppose for YouTube I can keep this style and try other engagement styles for TikTok, Twitter etc.

As August comes to an end, I’ll be slowly getting back into working on PiNNy boy.

Heaps of bug fixes and level optimisation to do.

But I can show a few bits and pieces :slight_smile: :

If everything goes as planned, you can at least play 2 more levels in the next demo update:

Stage 1-3: Trepidatious Traps (And finally unlocking combat)! Although it’s currently lacking props, items, more level dressing etc:

Stage 1-4 : Zoom and Gloom


Outside of that, here’s a few other things:

A shmup styled level with a mount:

Working on more props for the forest sections:

More Sepia cut-outs for the new trailer:

Thanks for playing, and glad you like it !

To be fair to your pc, it might be the game crashing ha. It does it on mine too, and I’ve yet to find what’s causing it.

Maybe its the shaders and allat if you’re using them?

Actually wait, yeah. It might genuinely be a shader issue. Will let you know if it fixes it !

Holy- if i just found out whats causing that problem and possibly have it solved bcuz of that suggestion im gonna freak out

A new trailer! If you pleaaaaaase.

This is the format I’m going with for the gameplay trailer.

Plan is - as the game updates, so do the exact clips.

Except they look fuller, richer, more complete etc. with each pass.

edit: watch it at 60fps!

Anyone on Godot 4.2 or below: I would highly recommend Parallax 2D from the AssetLib for better control over your parallax effects. Pretty sure it’s native from 4.3 onwards.

(Spot the new parallax layers):

I saw the wall’s parallax, but the ceiling may be too subtle. Consider increasing both to make it easier to see.
