For Ludum Dare 44 I created a Godot 3.1 project starter which is available on github at https://github.com/jhlothamer/godot_project_starter.
What is a project starter? It's an existing project with a few things in it you may find useful starting a new project. This is expecially handy for game jams to help you get up and running as quickly as possible. Plus, if you run out of time, at least you have things like
- A title scene
- A "how to play" scene
- A credits scene
- A transition effect between scenes
- A soundtrack manager that switches music when a scene loads
- note: no music files supplied. just change the soundtrack config file to your own music asset
All of this is at least somewhat configurable (see readme), but of course you should replace items as needed if time permits. Details on what and how to configure things are listed on the github page.
I hope you'll find this starter useful. If not and you think there's a way to improve the start project, please let me know! And if you run into any issues with the starter, please let me know about those as well!
Thanks!
