Gdevelop FREE VISUAL Game Engine: CONTRA Tutorial #08 - STATE MACHINE, HURT ANIMATION & SCREENSHAKE

Welcome to the Eighth entry in our Gdevelop FREE VISUAL Game Engine, where we are building a Contra's like game.

▶ Please Subscribe : https://bit.ly/GameDevelopers ▶

In this video, we are going to go further in modularizing our game to make it easier to control aspects of the game. We are going to implement the player damage and death animations and we are going to add some screen shakes when hits happen.

To control it correctly without having to make a lot of complex code, we are going to shift our player to a state machine that will manage all the different behaviors that the player can have.

We will probably create a dedicated video on State Machines or Screenshakes in case people will request it.

If you want to learn how to make or design games, you have come to the right place. We are taking the full process to new levels. We are checking on the mechanics that we are implemented and then testing them in the game to make sure they are working correctly. So this is a really good course to learn on how to develop games.

We will upload all the new assets to to the ITCHIO and we are thinking in opening a Github for the project, let us know which you like the most in the comments below.

Get you controllers ready, download Gdevelop and we will be starting ...

GDevelop is an open-source, cross-platform game engine designed for everyone - it's extensible, fast and easy to learn.

In its concept it is very similar to Scirra Construct game engine ( somewhat less polished) with a growing community developing games, tutorials and supporting the game engine development.

We will post a serie of easy gdevelop tutorials to let you start your way into game development.
