Final

It took me a couple more hours to bring the game in a state I can leave it at.

With this at the finish line for me for now.

Here is all the messy code I created to build this 😄:

https://github.com/KANAjetzt/GardenRescue

And here you go to the game page:

🌱 Garden Rescue

Thinks I added

✅ Sound Effects ✅ Particle Effects ✅ Music ✅ Ambient Sounds ✅ One Animation ✅ One Light ✅ Save / Load System ✅ Pause Menu ✅ Main Menu ✅ Settings Menu ✅ Ropes on the Main Menu 😅

Thinks I didn’t do

❎ Added no new system ( plant health / watering etc. ) ❎ Didn’t rework the mouse interaction ( clicking like a maniac is still the most efficient ) ❎ Added no customers ❎ Added no decorations

And all of this

Thinks I learned

💡 Use Resources!

I’m glad I decided to implement the save games. It was a massive pain but I learned so much. I revamped most of my code after learning about resources and how to create and use them.

This is the Video I started with. At the end I had:

1. game_store to save all global game related data i want to save
2. plant_store all the plants there state and location
3. invetory_shack
4. inventory_store

I had a ton of bugs after loading the game:

Fix Inventory's not loading correctly

• There are a lot more of this todos 😄

Creating Sound Is Hard

I didn’t think it will be easy so I was mentally prepared to struggle a lot 😅

Music

The music part by far the worst - In the future I need some one to do this for me 👀

I used this, as a starting point:

• Ended up with this masterpieces

  Track 1 Track 2

SFX

I enjoyed creating these a lot more 😀 I used this free short course to get me somewhat ready:

Blipsounds

How do create a “rope”

Enhance the MainMenu

The godot input flow

Thinks I try to do next time

At the end

Feedback on the buy and sell prices and everything else would be much appreciated 🙂

Thanks a lot for organizing this great game jam and I’m looking forward to the winter edition 👍

Cheers
