GODOT Engine TUTORIAL #6: Make Your First 2D PLATFORMER GAME with GODOT: GAME FLOW & PLAYER LIVES

In this video, we are going to concentrate on the overall game flow for the game. We are going to add checkpoint and respawn to the game. We are also adding A Start Screen where we will fall back when the player dies. We will also add a death feature for when the player falls from a platform, and fine tune some elements in the life of the player. At the end we will be polishing some bugs that we were dragging along.

To make it easier to understand the main difference between the different engines that we are covering, we have thought of implementing the same game with the resources.

Since in G Develop we have already started to put the foundations on a new platformer for the Melee tutorials, we have decided to use it too with the other game engines..
