Prototyping a grid-based 2D puzzle game using Godot's GridMap. So far so good, instead of designing the levels in code/config, it's possible to design them in the editor instead and then reconstruct the grid representation

Quick prototype: Fly a plane and don't get hit by the wind turbines! More danger, more points.

Practicing some modelling to a reference in #Godot. Mostly lit using emissive lights, but couldn't quite get the glow near the ceiling to be strong enough. Also not enough blue tinge compared to reference.

I've been prototyping new puzzle levels for #Gridfall, this one took a bit of adjusting but I'm happy with the final layout. It looks deceptively simple to solve but there are a few gotchas.

LightmapProbeGrid is such a lifesaver! #godot LightmapGI baking can autoplace Lightmap probes for you, but sometimes they end up on geometry boundary, resulting in underlit dynamic objects.

New mechanic - proximity sensors (& cubes)! They interact nicely with the gravity shifts to create interesting puzzles. This level is one of the first ideas I had, will be prototyping more challenging layouts.

A playthrough of one of the new levels. Already had 1 playtester break it in 2 different ways and another telling me it was too easy

Reworked the deadly/safe fall indicator, based on feedback. It is no longer combined with the reticle, which confused players.
To be honest, still considering just removing it and let players just try and see!

New reticle! It not only shows which surfaces you can switch gravity to, but also lets you know if drop is safe or fatal, if you look down.

This level is called The Square, as it features, well, a large illuminated square. Which lighting looks better - horizontal vs vertical?

I focused on the player vistas too, making sure the goal is visible right from the start. The large octagonal structure was stealing focus from the light bridge, so it had to go. It may find itself in a different level.

Sometimes less is more. Tried to make this puzzle idea work by adding more pieces. The level ended up a confusing, joyless mess. Paring it back brought out the main elements while still challenging the player.

Early playtesting showed players losing track of which way to go after several gravity shifts. Next step - experiment with subtle ways to signpost.

Done! Implemented a tutorial level to explain the core mechanic. Hope I got the mood lighting right. One step closer to playtesting.

Gravity shifts can be disorientating and nauseating, so I've added a "down" indicator, plus a reticle that also highlights which surfaces the player can shift onto.

Found inspiration for a puzzle level when passing the Royal College of Art. The building’s first two floors are offset, creating an interesting wall-walking section.
