Godot: 2d light effects in my top-down adventure game (Shadow Quest)

This is my first attempt at making a little 2d top-down game with Godot (v 3.2)
Light effects are rendered using normal maps and a custom "shadows cast" algorithm
The wolf and the character were modeled with blender first, then converted to spritesheet with a python script.
Let me know if you have some suggestions or if want some infos / tutos about the rendering technic ;)

Thanks For Watching !

that's REALLY good!

[@arnomleonam149]

Amazing job!

[@TKB_videos]

Looks really nice.
If possible, then can you do some tutorial on:
- how you achieved that 3D feel on terrain and building
- character animation of 2D to 3D

[@ekzil35]

Thanks :)
I plan to do a tutorial when I have the time ..
The 3D feel on the terrain is achieved with normal map.
For buildings, I used a normal map + a displacement map, that gives the 3d position for each 2d pixel (in relative coordinates)
disp and normal maps are generated with blender.

@@ekzil35 I'd be interested in how you're using a displacement map on something like the house as well. I can't wrap my head around it :-)

damn, that's so cool !!

Impresionante! me suscribo!

[@toara]

absolutely stunning :)

[@accumulator4825]

Very creative, well done. Hope it turns out great, God bless.

[@matteopignotti]

Please make a full tutorial on your development process

[@giancarloandrebravoabanto7091]

l'll try it to do it in pure javascript

[@cenullum]

I didnt get is terrain 3d or you used normal map. It seems awesome

[@ekzil35]

Thanks ! For the terrain, I just used a normal map on a independant layer, on top of the tilemap. I plan to do a tutorial on this when I have time.

[@fanuelanteneh8437]

Normal maps?

[@m0h49]

Can you please tell me how to do shadow casting?

[@ekzil35]

I done this using a custom fragment shader. Light positions and occluders are passed as uniform. I used Liang-Barsky Algorithm to detect intersections between light rays and obstacles. Performance are good, even on mobile platforms :)

[@2bytesgoat]

@@ekzil35 Could you go into more details regarding how you passed the light positions and occluders? Do you pre-render the entire scene and use the images as input, or use custom viewports?

[@JohnnyCrow.]

I really like archery 👍 would be really cool to see your code) or even full tutorial)

[@ekzil35]

Thank you ! I would have to get back into it, I left the project aside for lack of time..

@@ekzil35 dont leave it. Its really good
