Godot Open Adventure Template (GOAT) is a tool for making 3D adventure games.

goat's Issues

Read inventory icon size from global

Create project logo

Set it in README and in Godot project settings.

Extract ray casting logic, possibly use the same code for environment and inventory

Do not send `deselected` signal when an item was obtained or disabled

Display a frame around inventory items

Do not set Player's Y coordinate to 0 every frame

Implement crouching

Implement and test environment touch screens

Should work already with RayCast3D, but needs testing an a demo

Implement walking on uneven surfaces

Implement new action: reading text (with translation)

Example:

• we have an item: piece of paper
• there is text on that paper
• text remains unchanged in 3D inventory mode
• the framework detects a "text rich item" and shows a button: "Read"
• when player presses the button, an overlay is displayed with translated text
• should also work for 3D environment ("activate" causes the text overlay to appear)
• could be enhanced with playing a dialog

Use consistent names for scenes, groups, signals, actions

Implement a better Tween node

Something that will solve the problems with e.g. checking the remaining time or reacting when the tween ends. Maybe Godot 3.1 already solves most of these problems, in that case this task can be closed.

Update README

Include the name of the project, list of features, simple documentation, current Godot version it works with (3.1).

Add docstring to every scene

Add translation

Should include:

• game settings
• monologue text (if displayed on screen)
• text hints (e.g. "Press Esc to exit", "Inventory is empty")

NOTE: remember to update the docs

Make `unique_name` required

Create tutorials

Can be video tutorials or blog posts.

Add text hints to GUI elements

Examples:

• press RMB to rotate
• press LMB to take
• press Tab to exit
• press I to get info

Fix selecting and activating interactive parts of inventory items

Handle more items in inventory

Currently with more items we get an ugly scroll bar. Solutions:

• set a maximum number of items
• make the scroll bar pretty
• redesign the inventory mode and show items at a side

Implement cutscenes with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen

Probably will have to block all the input during the cutscene. Challenge: should there be an option to skip? If so, how to make sure that the animation plays fully?

The initial release could only feature unskippable cutscenes.

Implement game settings

Could be a separate global file or an addition to the existing global file.

Set custom cursor in inventory and context inventory mode

Remove item selecting logic from globals, move it to proper scenes, and use signals

Add an "Info" button or action to obtain more information about an item, also as audio

Pause the game in inventory mode

Send old game mode with game_mode_changed signal

Add test scenes for every use case

Use settings signals for setting the cursor shape

Implement "mini game" mode

Extract 3D inventory view

Create a documentation page

Suggested solution is Read the docs. We will need to keep the documentation in a separate repository. It would be great to put tutorial there too (#27 ). The documentation will have to describe everything in detail, including input actions and groups.

Change Player collision shape to Capsule

Implement ongoing activation (e.g. Morse's telegraph)

Redesign inventory mode view

Add signals to disable and enable interactive item or screen

Enabled =signal=> disabled =signal=> enabled

Disabled item cannot be selected or activated.

Add items with multiple states, item activation cycles through them

Add "player" to movement action name

Handle empty inventory

Change item highlighting method

Current method depends on using material_override and probably will not work with items that use emission texture. Other possible options include:

• keeping the same looks, but achieving it with a shader or by modifying the existing emission texture
• using a shader for creating an outline
• changing the shape of the cursor
• display an icon in the middle of the collision shape

Implement tutorial mode

In this mode different hints will be displayed the first time an action is available, e.g. "click on item to pick it up", "press Tab to open inventory",

Implement detailed interaction mode

Should support clicking and using inventory items on whole / on parts.

Add new game mode for inventory rotation

Prepare code style guideline

E.g. respect 79 character line limit.

Play a sound when an item is activated (or obtained)

Improve obtaining an inventory item

Possible options:

• show an animation (zoom, rotation, dismiss)
• show inventory bar for a moment, then hide it
• show the item as in inventory mode with options to rotate it, put it back, take it
• automatically switch to inventory mode for this item, player has to exit manually

Highlight currently selected inventory item

Implement dialogs

Allow player to pick a dialog option and react accordingly.

Add signals to change mouse sensitivity (but not Player's speed)

Replace InteractiveItem flags with an enum
