Never understood that "Gotta go fast" catchphrase for older Sonic games. What happens if you try going fast is one of the three:
1) You just hit some sort of obstacle that immediately roots you in place, like a rock or the side of a springboard, or if the designers were feeling especially evil,
Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly
Gotchaโletโs dig into that step by step.
1. ๐ฌ๐ผ๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ป๐ผ ๐บ๐ผ๐๐๐ต, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. Youโre not just immobileโyouโre immortal, and you feel only anguish.
2. ๐ฌ๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐บ. That makes total senseโitโs a natural human impulse, and youโve been through a lot.
Understandable!
It's been suggested before, but def have a look at TexturePacker. Does exactly what it should and likely has more features than you want to spend developing your own solution: www.codeandweb.com/texturepacker
Using it myself with Godot and it just worksโข

I'm sorry and/or thanks ๐
the thing about gamedev (or any development really) is that there will always be a million ways that you could have done it better, and a million ways that your way is badโฆ but the point is that you actually ship something.
perfection means it never gets done.
so just make it! who cares how.
Lost For Swords โ๏ธ is my love letter to roguelikes and card games. To deckbuilders and dungeon crawlers. To strategy and tactics. It is Slay The Spire meets Into The Breach with a pinch of Diablo 2.
If any of that resonates with you โก๏ธ it's out on Steam now!!!๐

A variety of medieval fantasy characters.
As a follow-up, and since I only shared a portion of my work on Cohort, I decided to post a series of messages featuring graphics and insights that I hope will be helpful to fellow game developers.
Prepare for a long thread because this project lasted 12 years.
