How to start making Platform game in android ?

How to start making Platform game in android ?

I wanted to make a pixel art style platform game. So I searched about the tutorials, but the only problem is that I don't have a laptop. So I can only build these things from my phone.

But when I started following this tutorial, many of the tabs and buttons were not visible. I know there's other options to click on, which opens the hidden tabs and buttons which are hidden for saving the space of the screen.

But it's too hectic to ask Gemini or other AI for every step, and that too they can't tell in one question.

I've tried Godot engine 4, and it's working perfectly in my phone, though there were few changes but that was still manageable. I just gave a thought to first give a try and create my first game though Gdevelop as it's a bit fast and easy to work on than Godot.

Can anyone please tell me, is there any way to solve this problem ?

New look at the Haunted Dark Ride Management Sim I'm building with GDevelop!

Hey everyone,

I'd love to share the latest gameplay for the game I'm currently building in GDevelop.

It's a pixel-art management sim where you design and operate your own haunted house dark ride. I've actually never created a game before, and am truly happy with how inituitive it is to use GDevelop and create a game that's entirely what I envisioned.

I'm currently working very hard to get a demo ready for Halloween season. If you like, you can find more info and screenshots on the Steam page:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4480080/Scream_Operator_Haunted_House_Manager/

I've had lovely conversations with fellow GDevelopers in the past regarding the lightning and mechanics of this game, and I've had more than a fair share of help too. If there's anything you'd like to discuss, or any feedback, please feel free to hit me up here, or on discord!

Is it possible to make an uploading system?

Have you ever played No Mans’s Sky, and uploaded your base? Well I was wondering, would it be possible to make a more basic system. Where you build a base, and upload it, but that just means publishing it to the servers so that other people can visit it while you are not on.

Need help with school project

so im trying to make a game for my digital games class, admittedly, despite my efforts, im so out of my depth. I was wondering if anyone could offer some solutions to any of my problems. I have tried many a niche search and video tutorials, I am just in a great need for help.

How can I impliment a sustained dash by holding a button? I don't want theh player sprite to go off screen, but I want camera to follow the sprite as it moves. So I used the "Smooth Camera" behavior and set the catch up speed to 0.4. But i would want the dash to hold itself at the edge of the screen without moving off of it

How can I make kind of health "timer"? My idea is that if you dash for too long, you will fizzle fizzle out and disappear. You can recover by stopping entirely, but similarly, if you stay still for too long, the same will happen. You can maintain a nuetral speed but that will still decrease it, albeit much more slowly.

3.

There's a glowing "door" i put in the game to signify the way out, however it is stuck behind the player sprite. How do I bring this to the forefront of the screen? additionally, when you first reach it at the start of the game, it's supposed to move away from you. How do I make that happen?

4.

How would I make subtitles appear at certain points in the playthrough?

How would I make a bar showing how far you've gone in the game?

How would I make a some slow, drifting glowing particles

If anyone can answer any of these, please let me know

[ForHire] VG Artist recruiting a Game Designer and Music/SFX Composer for GDevelop Game Jam for a Game Jam Project

Hello, I am a 2D Game Artist, Pixel Artist, and a Character Artist that worked on 6 game projects as of right now (I did worked on Black Cosmos for the Seattle Indies Game Jam and 4 DigiPen Game Projects such as Cooper's Cleanup, Snowfel, Ninjet, and CastleRooms. I am currently working on Tower of Ai Assassins Game Project right now as a personal game project.) I had trouble finding a team to join the GDevelop Game Jam Project before 5/14. So I decided that I might wanted to look into recruiting Game Designer and Music/SFX Composer for this game project I was thinking of doing. So I was thinking of either a Contra & Metal Slug style Run and Gun game 2D platformer or a Double Dragon Style Beat Em Up 2D game for the GDevelop Game Jam Project with the "To the Top" Theme that they had announced on 5/14. Please respond if your interested. I did ran into Discord that is a Background and Object Artist named Lenzzz that was also looking for a Game Team that has Game Designer and Music/SFX Composer worked on GDevelop that I think it be the best he can help out as well.

Please respond on the itch.io if you're interested. https://itch.io/jam/gdevelop-big-game-jam-9/topic/6357755/vg-artist-recruiting-a-game-designer-and-musicsfx-composer-for-gdevelop-game-jam-for-a-game-jam-project

Hand Drawing my TCG's Art:) Sketching the Valiant Samurai card for 1000 Blades

Hi, I'm ACP_Nate. I've decided to draw all the art for 1000 Blades, my trading card game. I still have about 30ish to go... Might take a lil while haha But, I am having fun with it and I plan on sharing here on Reddit and various places.

This is my penciled artwork for the Valiant Samurai game card. Next step is digitally inking and coloring in Procreate.

This artwork took a drastic turn from my original vision, but I am glad I pushed through and let the art take the lead. I like the energy and dramatic perspective of this piece. Also, this piece is less cluttered than my original idea. That will be important when printing on the small frame of a trading card.

Video short posted on YouTube: https://youtube.com/shorts/F1Rn87Tpk98

Overall, I'm happy with it:)

Trying to add block placement to my game.

So I'm making a game with some inspiration from Terraria, and I'm trying to deal with block placement. I'm using arrays to determine where each block will go with two variables: bloX (the x position) and bloY (the y position).

The code concerning block placement so far

However, I need the game to actually add these blocks in but I don't know how to get it to spawn them.
