How to add JUICE to your PLATFORMER

День тому

Yes it's time to add juice to a funny white rectangle that can change sizes.
This is my game called Mt. Major that I made for Game Off 2023 during November. I got a reasonable amount of criticism for the movement system not having enough juice, and it being a bit floaty, so I fixed both of that in this video.
You can play the jam version (without the new effects) here:

Please keep in mind that I'm not the best at any of this and it's all WIP, so I would love to hear how you would improve it! (especially the impacts) I want to learn more about VFX in the future because it's probably one of my weaker parts alongside art I guess.

Thanks! I don't know when I'll have time to make the next video because school takes away a lot of my time.

Ehi great video, could you explain in much more details how to implement the dash burst? I've tried but it doesn't work, plus I don't quite understand the logic behind it, where am I supposed to use the current_max_speed variable? Because I don't think it does something just updating it. Thanks for the other tips in the video also, very useful!

The current max speed is used to clamp the player's X velocity after the movement inputs were handled like this: velocity.x = clamp(velocity.x, -current_max_speed, current_max_speed) The Y velocity also has this exact same system but with a seperate max speed. I only limit the upwards velocity here, so the player can keep falling faster and faster. This is how that looks: velocity.y = max(velocity.y, current_max_y) As said in the video, these max speed limits are set to some high value, and then lerped towards a smaller target. By adding a bunch of velocity to the player, to get to that new upper limit, you can get it to look like a dash. Hopefully this helps, please ask if you have any more questions!

I have one very specific question, why are you using string quotes around your $ expressions? I didnt know you could even use string quotes in one of those statements to get a node by name, is there an advantage or specific effect to it?
