Creating enemies is probably my favorite part of developing games like this. It's so fun to prototype their various behaviors. What tips do you have for designing enemies? Follow the project on Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gameendeavor/request-0

The AI of your enemies always look like so much fun to fight. I really love how you can make 'simple' enemies so interesting

Great video. Those critters are definitely my favourite enemy. "If you are unlucky enough to encounter one of them in the wild, all that will be left of you are your boots. They will hop in and carry on towards their next victim."

You should think about making an updated tutorial on how to make a node based state machine. I’ve been a little too intimidated to try to learn how to make state machines for my games but they seem like if you put the initial work into them they make expanding your character and NPC’s functionalities so much smoother.

A little tip to give your game a more "advanced" feeling in it is to add transparancy. The water, the background, maybe hidden things or i don’t know, just know that transparancy will make your game feel a lot better

This is solid content. Super approachable and I'm actually getting inspired to use more math in my games. I'm using dreams ps4 and I couldn't find anything that explained "who needs cosigns?". Really fun videos and great advice for any platform.

Your timing is always impeccable, as enemy design is one of the next things I'm going to tackle for my prototype. Great stuff as always! I learn so much from these devlogs and I'm so happy you're having fun with creating your game! Cute enemies are the best! :D

These enemies do be getting better and better! I love the variety in movement and the cool enemy cimbinations you can do! :DDD

Always love seeing new videos like these!

Holy moly that pathfinding routine looks pretty nice :D

Alot of great ideas, I really like the varied array of enemies you already have in the game too!

Your videos are phenomenal. Good job! Totally subbing the channel. I love the juice in your games and appreciate the tips for making the combat more interesting a lot!

Your game looks absolutely brilliant 🙂 Good job, and keep going 👌

Man, I don't necessarily understand why, but it's an absolute pleasure to see when you upload. Thanks for the content.

1:08 the nostalgia from Super Mario 3 the Goomba's Shoe :) Great touch

haven't even watched the video, but i know it's gonna be fire! All of your videos are amazing! Keep it up!

This is looking rlly good, interesting knoledge about enemies behaviours, thanks for sharing

I like your videos man. Keep up the excellent work. 👍

Very insightful! Thank You!

start watching you devlogs very helpful

amazing video man! :)

Great tips and you've got a great voice for this!

I gosh! I love the art style! Cute!

Seeing your simple but fun looking game makes me want to develop games for fun again! I’ve taken a long break to work on YouTubing, but I’m a bit more excited to return to game develop when my harddrive is empty!

Artificial intelligence vs natural derp!

Great video, great coding, great game! Subbed!

I love that thing with the raycasts for pathfinding.

If it isn't fun when it's ugly, making it pretty isn't going to fix the problem that it's not fun! Good to see that idea applied here I've recently been working on flying enemies myself, I saw you having some of issues I was also facing. I also had to deal with it with a custom ray-casting, point following solution (although in 3D rather than 2)

this is genius and so useful!!!

When do you think we would be able to test out a playable demo version of the game? Awesome work as usual

Amazing game, Excellent video!!! I love 2D platformers These games inspire me to CREATE MINIGAMES!!!

The juiciness is off the charts for this one. Congrats

The basic zombie in my game follows you around and can jump small gaps, following you across platforms if the gap is small enough. It makes things alot more tense imo

0:28 I wish more devs had this mentality. I've seen way too many games that give the player all the tools in the world but barely do anything to make the enemy encounters themselves all that engaging and it's something that I want to avoid if I ever make an action game myself. I also really like this approach to simplistic enemies that cover different basis to make the player think in different ways. One of my favorite games (or series I should say) for this is Megaman Battle Network. Most enemies in those games only have one attack that they just use in timed intervals which would be boring if that was all there was to it, but mixing other enemies into the mix with different attack patterns and speeds as well as the environment that the player is on influences how you fight a lot and that isn't even going into everything you do outside of that such as character and chip folder customization. It's why games like the original Doom or Quake still garner so much respect since while the roster of enemies in those games are small, they are used in such an intelligent manner that you barely even notice. But I digress, this is my first time ever seeing this game and i'm already super interested in this, it looks like something I already know i'm gonna love so you have yourself another fan friend.

Game endeavor, when’s your next stream? I love watching them and giving ideas in the chat!

I LOVE that sun! It'd be so cool if the sun followed the player's position with lerping/smoothing. I know it wouldn't be realistic but would be a neat effect I haven't seen in any game.

The game looks so fun! :D

Duality of GE Game players: Enemies look too cute to fight Enemies look too fun not to fight

broo that game looks so fun

nice ;D

The game should have an achievement or hard mode challenge where the player tries to aggro all the enemies to follow him to the end or the map while avoiding attacks, not dropping aggro, and not killing any. There might need to be some platform creation magic or something to achieve this?

Like I do for a lot of developers who make these types of game, I'm going to make a simple suggestion that I think will always up the quality of a game by a good. . . oh, 75%: Make the sword swinging animations, on the ground and in the air, way more interesting. Give them build up and follow-through, weight, physics. Make them feel fun. With this art style, I don't think you could do much "stylish" with the character's swinging, but I have to say that what you have here so far looks "good enough." Maybe it's not relevant to what you're going for, but as someone who enjoyed Ori and the Blind Forest, and Owlboy, some of the most IMPORTANT things in those games-besides the beautiful art-was the fun of just moving around. Oh, another example: Fancy Pants Adventures. A little Mario, a little Sonic the Hedgehog, and you get a stick-figure running around and it's _fun!_ So that's my recommendation. More attention paid to moving around and swinging the sword.

I don't know the engine you're using (Looks like Godot ?) but do you have access to your tiles ? Seems like your tiles are on a grid, so making flying path finding would be pretty simple to do a A* or any other grid base path finding algorithm using the empty space of the tileset as "flyable tiles". Or maybe that's already what you are doing and the raycast are more to follow the path ? Anyway, good video.

The shoe you had looks like a Kuribo's shoe in Super Mario 3. Is the sun just background that moves? It did look like it was different distances from the PC on your various screenshots. Are any of your games playable or are they just examples; they look cool? If not then you should do a playthrough and post it on YT.

ya did it lad :D

@7:35 i think you used a similar technique for the AI movement in your Zoe game?

Great update! Are you planning on simple bosses as well?

I'm wondering how you're creating those debug lines in your pathfinding at 7:15. With Line2D?

I hope you will make a tutorial series 🥺

I like the smiley face sun 🙂

How can I save a game with Godot. I am making a Drifting game and need to save the colors and specs of each vehicle. Will a res file work because I am planning on instancing the vehicles in the garage.

How would I script this in unity?

got any videos on how you do the sprite animations?

I already asked this in a different video sorry if this bothers you. But what software do you use to make pixel art?

I'd like to see you experimenting with more vibrant colors

Could you tell me how did you made it?

what I've noticed is that your heroes always have a full head of flowing hair. While your enemies are almost always bald.

Kinematic equations and verlet integration? GE do be using big brain tactics :)

1 minute till the state machine!

cuuute!!!!

You should make the sun be surprised or shocked when the player takes damage :) to :O

What game engine do you use?

but what creature wears those big boots?

The combat reminds me of hollow kinght

Its so cute Love it ❣️

What about mage staffs that soot fireballs and other stuff like that?

I like your lurker sun

That's a Skipper from DQ8.

do you have a ceiling crawler enemy yet? Not every platformer game has them because they don't always work. Just a little something that paces back and forth upside down on the ceiling and then drops straight down if it detects the player under it. I also like enemies who you want to avoid killing too quickly because you need to stand on them to progress. But this again might not work in your game.

Hey new video!

Its like your playing on your own game.

The bat almost looks like an owl

Hope this has controller support. Looks so fun!

How about bootsy drops his boots by which the player can jump higher and bounce :P

There should be some sort of sleeping spell to peacefully put enemies to sleep, there’s no way I’m killing these cute little guys!

I have an idea for an enemy, how about something that gets healed when you attack it with weapons but takes damage it you throw healing items at it?

Add a Boss to this game!

It's frustrating to see the coins fall on the spikes 😓

Another rule: never trust a smiley sun.

I found myself here after googling how to create enemies in real life

I want to play your game ^_^

this is what happens when a physicist become game developer 😂

I am not sure. That many screenshakes that you have, for me it's just too weird. It doesn't look engaging anymore, it just look like one of those 2010's movies where they had action camera everywhere.... it looks way too jiggly and not engaging at all. Just my 5 cents, from an old guy.

You are a mean developer. You make the enemies very fun to fight but also too cute to fight. What a moral dilemma.

No one is first🤣

I watched your videos and i cant understand much, your pronunciation is different and you speak too fast. Maybe you may speak a little slower and clear.

Gosh I just love how bouncy the movement looks. I bet it feels super nice
