Inspiration

Based off of generic RPG games like Undertale.

What it does

Our game originally is based off a "limited space" prompt. We decided that each level the hero successfully gets to, the space of each level decreases. In order to access the next level, the hero must kill a certain amount of slimes.

How we built it

Using Godot 4.0 engine

Challenges we ran into

This was our first time using Godot engine to make our first 2D game. Both of us are in our first year so we had no prior experience with making games or even using a game engine in the first place. Collision was our biggest challenges we ran into as our hero kept phasing through wall tiles, which is not supposed to happen.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Learning Godot! This was our first hackathon and it was a lot of learning and a fun experience to be a part of. We're proud that we got a very basic prototype of the game we brainstormed and at least we got something done to demo to show. Most of code was cited from https://www.youtube.com/watch?, but this was a great tutorial for us as we learned about Godot, how to create 2D characters, 2D collision shapes, tilesets, and tilemaps.

What we learned

Godot
Collision objects
Learning Git and how to work as a group - merging, pushing, pulling etc...

What's next for Slime Hero

An interactive door where it transfers our hero to another level scene once the hero reaches the amount of slimes killed
A UI to show the hero's health bar
