u can use the pathfind that I did for shotcaller to calculate the field and godot basic timers to control the movement. I can do this for u ... don't worry.

Just realized the Gameworld link, so it's all vector based, this I can work out, used to work as designer intern vectorizing stuff with illustrator. Haven't license for it so I'll install the good inkscape to create some. Is .PNG or .SVG good?

svg is better cuz it works in any scale, but only if the content is made out of actual vector stuff. I used an online tool to add strokes to the numbers and it rasterized the svg content. gotta watch out

raster is usually best for performance but since math world ain't heavy on the computational side we can use svg for most of our assets

I'll try to get close to the above Kenney assets size. Do you know some online tool to create the tile maps?

I was going to draw each piece separated and join em after

i don't sorry

I haven't tried it but https://www.mapeditor.org/ is one of the top hits when searching the web for open source options.

The Kenny asset was just for playing around. Feel free to use tiles of whatever size you want.

I was imagining an even stricter pathing system that just follows straight ‘rails’, like the game board in Super Mario Party, or RPG in a Box:

It’s not like players are gonna have an expansive world to wander around in and explore. The exploration happens in the unlocking of new locations they are allowed to go to.

either we manually input the paths (seems a bad approach since it would require updating it on every change) or we use a pathfind solution to do it automatically. whatever restrictions we impose won't change the basic pathfind algorithmic approach. we can store the paths and not have to calculate it again (we do just that in shotcaller), it seems that the difference is that we will have fewer nodes and angle restriction on the movement. and since it's so small we can store the flow field and only calculate it when there are changes on the map

Using the Kenny assets also means this tool could be part of the asset creation pipeline: I’m not sure if it’s really worth it though, since it’s not really that much less complicated than having an artist hand-draw assets.

Probably not worth it.

Love this game aesthetic. Feels similar to what we’re going for: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1989070/Synergy/?rdt_cid=4182053661763000949

this reminds me of an old educative game called 'the way things work' it's a very nice style with great references

That is indeed a beautiful visual reference!

new menu PR is on!

used a shader to rotate the hue on the buttons

Totally agree with you on this one!

Sorry but my skills with vectors are rusty than I remember :/ took me sometime just to get a proper isometric cube

Rafa's PR merged, and playable on itch.

I've noticed that the web build performance aint great on my phone nor on my notebook if I disable the browser gpu. Since the mini games are simple, I could recreate them directly on the web, but I want to know how u feel about this first @sindrsh.

Well, for me the web build is mainly for showing the sketch of the game for those who don't bother downloading Godot and MathWorld from git, so performance is not priority yet (btw, it doesn't work on ios at all). I think the most important thing to fuel the process right now is to produce a prototype world and a character moving inside it. But of course, if you really feel for recreating the mini games, then follow your instincts 👍
