This is a walking simulator in which you hope you will make it to the goal before the numbers hit zero. There are campfires that stock scraps for you to ingest along the way.
Well done with what you made. I'm just not a fan of the gameplay. It's a polished experience.

Thank you!
The footsteps are a small sprite that matches the shape of the player's foot.
From this, I created a footstep scene that fades opacity of the sprite over 30 seconds and deletes it afterward.
A reference to this scene is stored in the player script.
When the player walks, there's a script that plays a footstep sound on regular intervals (this was timed with the player's feet being fully extended in the sprite sheet (3rd and last frame in the sprite sheet (Although I think we switched the order around in game to make walking feel more natural)).
Since the walk sound already plays at the correct time, I can just instantiate a footstep in the same part of the script. I use an integer to keep track of which foot is stepping (1 for right, -1 for left), and flip the sprite along local y accordingly - there's also a positional offset, so it looks like it's coming the back foot of the current frame.
Hope this helps!
Edit:
The spritesheet above has 7 frames. The one we implemented in Godot actually has 8 frames, so one step always takes 4 frames.

Thank you!
It's actually 100% 2D with parts that are made to look 3D.
The airplane is a series of sprites rendered from blender, and the trees are stacked sprites that are procedurally animated using some sine curves.

Absolutely!
So I created a series sprites for the different leaf layers of a pine tree.
In Godot, on startup, I decide if a tree will have 3 or 4 leaf layers, scale them from 1 down to 0.5, and color them green.
(The white snow is from a another sprite that I place over top - if I did this again, leaves would have been all one sprite with the snow factored in, but I had originally planned to do some cool stuff with sprite masking - didn't have time to implement this)
From here, I pick a direction to sway the tree in, and select a point for each leaf layer to sway to (the amount the layer sways is based on the size of the leaf layer - the smaller the layer, the further it sways since it corresponds to the top of the tree).
Then I interpolate between the starting and target positions for each leaf layer (cosine function helps the swaying feel more natural than just linear motion between positions).
The period of sway is randomized a little as well.
The 3D effect of this was unintentional, but we loved how it looked when we tested it out, and it saved us from hours of drawing tree sprites by hand (we're not artists lol).
Hope this helps! The explanation is a bit of a mess mostly because the implementation is too!

Thank you for the review!
For the airplane animation:
I made a simple plane in blender
Added some color with emission materials (so no shadows)
Set the background to transparent and the filter size to 0px (this removes anti-aliasing)
Then I dropped the render resolution wayyyyy down and rendered a few still images of the plane at different roll angles.
This is the raw render output.
In Godot, I animate the texture property of sprite to switch between the different rendered images.
Hope this helps!
