Goobi Demo V2

What engine is this made in?

someone can explain to me how to open "Windows no editor"???

This was one of the best character controllers I have ever played in but. The camera was WAY too sensitive on controller and a little to sensitive on mouse. Could you please add a option to change your sensitivity.

Just finished this demo after playing the first. Very good stuff, and I like the changes from V1 to V2. Here are some things that I'd consider adding/tweaking:

• Adding rapid fire to the newspaper shot. As is, there's (sometimes?) a delay after each shot that makes it unsatisfying to use. Could be a bug, as there have been times when repeated presses have yielded expected results.
• Glide capabilities after a dive. This can be done by doing a spin attack after a dive but before a glide, though that probably shouldn't be necessary.
• A grounded roll. When you press the dive button on the ground, it does nothing, which feels off. Adding a roll would fill the slot, and add some grounded movement options.
• An option to invert the camera. It was fine for me, though I'm sure there are some that would greatly appreciate it.
• An option to skip or speed up cutscenes. The opening camera shot was only a few seconds, though the lack of skip option is something I noticed upon playing the demo a second time.
• Some slight automation to the camera. Camera control is always up to the player, which is good, but a lot of modern games nudge the camera in certain directions depending on where you are or what direction you're moving in. Worst case scenario, you can pull a Sonic Adventure and add an option to toggle this.
• Coyote time. Or more of it if it's already present. Couldn't quite tell.
• A jump buffer. There is none at the moment? Or if there is, it's very slight. I understand it might be a bit tricky in your case, because you have glide mapped to the same button as jump, which is a good change, but a jump buffer would still be nice. In terms of implementation, perhaps sensing how close the player is to the ground (raycasts?) to decide whether or not to glide or store a jump.
• An option to cycle through newspaper targets. This is my most iffy suggestion and depending on your level design, this might not be necessary at all, but it could be cool to have puzzles where you need to choose the right target to shoot.

I watched your devlog and found your enemy AI pains interesting. Can't remember how much experience you said you had with code, but making a code-based state machine in C++ could prove easier than whatever solutions Unreal or Blueprints have. Implementation could look something like:

int state;

float distanceToPlayer; //Distance from self (enemy) to player

if (state == 0)

     //Point towards and move towards player position

      if (distanceToPlayer < 10)

          //state = 1;

if (state == 1)

     //Attempt to attack player

     state = 0;

I am a programming guy, and I prefer handwritten code to visual scripting, so this might not apply to you, but I figured I'd try to help.

Amazing work so far! This has the makings of a full game. I know you said you wanted to keep things small, but I'd consider going a bit further. Perhaps in a possible sequel. ;D

Holy shit, hands down one of the best character controllers I've ever played with EVER!! This is an absolute testament to hard work and dedication to making a game feel right! I mean this honestly could easily compete with AAA studio character controllers! I'm in love with it already!

I did find one bug though, When in the menu I couldn't leave and had to close the game and restart.

The game looks incredibly good so far. It'd be nice to have a Linux build. I guess I'll have to try this next time I boot up Windows. The music you use in your devlogs is amazing, I'd love some credits in the description for private listening. Sorry, I know this isn't the feedback you asked for. I'll comment on the demo once a) a Linux build is out or b) I boot up Windows. Good luck and don't burn yourself out.

the controller feels amazing - truly mario odyssey levels - found a bug(?) where if you press jump + spin attack at the same time in succession you can do a double spin jump. Goobi feels amazing in the air but it would be nice to have a dash or something else in the ground to have more mobility options

why can't I hold down the space key, jump and immediately glide, and not just jump, it's very annoying😊🤬🥳🤡🤧🤒🤕🤢

Goobi ain't goofy

Hello! It's a bit early in development, but you should start thinking about Ultrawide support. There are a bunch of UI bugs on a 21:9, like the pause menu only covering the center of the screen and the black screen transition not completely hiding.

About the gameplay, I think that the glide should be toggled instead of triggered by holding the spacebar.
A crosshair or a small white dot should be added in the center of the screen to make sure the player knows where they're aiming.

Another small thing: the camera can go through objects.

Other than that, I love the movement and it feels really amazing.

Love the game idea!

Fun game, i stumbled upon a bug where if you start to hover down at the same time a platform is going up, you can go through it

Goobi changed my view on life

Fun game! The movement feels fantastic, I can absolutely tell how much work you put into perfecting it. The shooting mechanic is great as well, but I would recommend a small crosshair (specifically a white dot) in the center of the screen for more clarity. Also, the camera clips through walls which can be awkward at times. Other than those small nitpicks, I really enjoyed the demo and can't wait to see how the full game turns out!

Overall this is a really big improvement from the previous demo I tried!

- The movement speed is pretty on point and you can easily combo your dash and double jump to get around even faster. Really enjoyed combo-ing those two

- I LOVE the shooting mechanic when it came to platforming. Would love to see this expanded on and used a lot more in levels. Maybe have targets that require you to shoot more than once to inflate even, so you gotta rapid spam the shoot.

- The camera jump that happens when you open your glider is a big jarring. When you do a dash the camera flows very well, but as soon as you open your camera it kind locks on to this spot and i'm not sure if that's a bug or not.

- Aside from the glider issue mentioned above, I think the camera feels quite good and polished!

- I really liked the glider boosting hoops (i have some of those in my game as well lol!) and i think they'll help give the glider a lot more use so definitely want to see more of those!

- Would really like to see some more movement combos, maybe that you can unlock later in the game? Every time I did a dash I just wanted to hit the dash button again right as i touched the ground to start doing some belly slide hops or combo into another, smaller dash.

Great work though man! Can't wait to see where Goobi goes next :D

I like the movement. But seems a bit slow as far as getting from point A to point B. I found my self jumping and dashing to get there faster. The footsteps sounds seem a bit to repetitive. Maybe add some more pitch variation in each step. You really need a edge grab. Getting stuck on a edge and then falling kills the flow of the game. You nailed the animations. Reminds me of Banjo Kazooie.

I love almost everything about it! Maybe this is a personal thing, but when jumping of edges, maybe make it so that the player can still jump, even half a second after walking off the edge

I like the faster speed, the platforms, which had to be shot, the time limit felt to short, I liked the balloon deflating sound it made when shrinking down, I really liked that.

I miss the wall jumping part.
