Hello,

My intention is to build a top down shooter game called Antarctica where you are supposed to kill the penguins and escape from the icy landscape in some way that I have not decided yet.

So far I have finished almost all the pixel-frames and code regarding the player.

The penguin can chase the player but it cannot attack or die yet.

I have started to test out landscapes(currently only white round pieces made with the spray-tool in GIMP put together).

Here is a screenshot:

And here is a picture of the player shooting at the penguin:

Now I plan to:

1. Write code and draw some frames when the penguin attacks the player.

2. Create some code for hit points and some way of displaying the health.

I'm a beginner in both Godot and gimp, so any feedback would be great.

Hello again everybody,

since last post I have:

1. Written code and made some some frames when the penguin attacks the player.

2. Imported a health bar as a way of displaying both player and enemy health

I also had some time over so I:

3. Started out on a welcome screen.(I decided that the player will escape the icy landscape with a helicopter)

4. made a house

PS: If anyone wants to try it out already: https://knubbilito.itch.io/antarctic

I posted my game in the feedback thread in this forum and got some valuable feedback. Now I intend to fix the issues and I plan on starting with:

1. add sound effects

2. build some kind of road so the player knows where to walk

3. Fix a bug(bullets stack up when shooting at the building)

4. Have a look at player controls, probably make it possible to rotate while shooting and maybe even shoot with mouse, I will also include so that you can control the player with WASD.

Hi again,

Just a small update on how its going so far.

1. add sound effects 

- I managed to find sound effects for the gun, but I have not fixed any other soundeffects yet.

2. build some kind of road so the player knows where to walk

- I finished the road yesterday.

3. Fix a bug(bullets stack up when shooting at the building)

- This has been taken care of.

4. Have a look at player controls, probably make it possible to rotate while shooting and maybe even shoot with mouse, I will also include so that you can control the player with WASD.

- I included so that you can rotate while shooting and use the WASD-keys.

besides that:

- I added the helicopter

- I made a end-screen

Hello,

yesterday I did not have time to work so much on the game.

I managed to make some background music with boscaceoil though: https://online.boscaceoil.net/#!/

Next thing I plan on doing is:

1. adding some death-animation to the player

2. work on a game-over screen

3. add some death-animation to the penguins

Hi,

Not as much time for the game as I hoped for these last days. I have managed to fix:

1. adding some death-animation to the player

- I made some frames of a dying character. It does not look perfect but will have to do due to lack of time.

2. work on a game-over screen

- Basically, I just added a game-over-text to that dying character.

Here is how it looks like:

So what's left?

Well, now I think I am just going to look for bugs in the game and try to fix them, then I will submit it.

The End

Alright, so I tried the game on a few friend, apparently my musical ability is not the best, but not much to do about it now.

I tried to improve it slightly for the upload, but we will see how it goes.
