This is such a cool idea! Focusing on improving a single aspect of game design using a simple game as the base seems like a really good way to challenge yourself & improve. 3:25 I love the super boost shot, I feel like if there was a way to control this it would be a really cool game mechanic just on it's own!

Thank you so much! Yeah, especially by not using art assets, I had to get creative. Do you make games, too? The super boost! You’re right, it would be better if the player could control it somehow… maybe if the ball hits the exact center of the paddle, or if you pressed a button just as the ball hits… that would be a fun mechanic!

@@CassyCodes Using no art assets was a really smart limitation! Yea, I'm a game developer too :D Those are good ideas! That's the brilliance of challenges like these, who knows what cool concepts you'll uncover!

This is... really great. I've never thought, that someone could improve the gameplay of Pong, but here it is. That's really a nice little game. And considering the fact, that it's your second(?) game, it's an absolute banger. Keep up the good work :)

Great job on the 10 levels! It’s good that you worked within your skill level but still challenged yourself. I always love adding juice to my games!

This was a awesome idea. I love the electric line idea. Hate the rotating paddles lol

Yes! I was hoping that would help someone else! A lot of game dev tutorials take for granted the viewers’ knowledge about what key frames even are. Yes! The godot community seems to be on fire now that Brackeys has switched over!

This is inspiring, great modification in boring UI

Hey, I liked your video. As for the trails, that is extremely easy to do with particles as well. Moreover the GPUParticles node is a better choice than CPUParticles since the latter won't be developed anymore.

@CassyCodes

Ай бұрын

Oh really! I didn't know that trails were possible with particles. I'll have to look that up and try it! Good to know about the GPU particles. Now I don't have to bother figuring out what the difference is.

Nice work, working on a breakout game and have a paddle on both sides. So it feels like a cross between pong, breakout/arkanoid and a puzzle game. I've decided to re-design in 3d though, so learning 3d for that haha. Some nice effects here, I was going to try to do something similar for the walls on impact but use a shader only around the area hit. May see about that in the 3d version. I'm doing a game jam this week, a bit behind haha, but hoping to get back to it after that.

Thank you so much! Hi Michael, I actually watched some of your videos because I'm a fellow "30s" person learning game dev! Breakout is such a fun game to practice coding. 3D is still out of my league, though, as well as game jams. I can't wait to see what you come up with for Breakout!

@@CassyCodes Awesome. Thanks for checking out the videos, hopefully they were helpful. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat more game dev sometime! Always cool to connect with other game devs, especially those in a similar situation/getting started! I've been playing with GDevelop part of this week for the game jam, in some ways it makes me faster, but due to that way and me not understanding how it works it makes me slower haha.

Great video! Keep going!

It's an add-on from the AssetLib. Search for Kanban Tasks. You need to add it to each project you want to use it in.

Neat! Did you have a particular method of programming the opponent paddle?

@CassyCodes

Ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment! For the opponent paddle, I gave it a fast_speed and a slow_speed. It's always moving towards the ball's y position. When the ball's x position gets close, it changes to fast_speed, and when the ball is far, the paddle's speed changes to slow_speed.

Nice vibe
