Скачать или смотреть Devlog #1 – Rebuilding My Old Platformer in Godot (Should It Be a Metroidvania?)

In this devlog, I take one of the first games I ever made in HTML5 Canvas — a basic 2D platformer — and rebuild it from scratch in Godot.

So far, I’ve added solid movement, dash, bow-and-arrow, and fireball abilities. The mechanics feel fun and responsive… but I’m at a crossroads:

Should I make this a classic stage-based platformer?
Or go full Metroidvania with one big map, upgrades, and backtracking?

This is the first step in my 6-month journey to remake 4 of my old games and finally learn game development the right way.
Just me figuring things out, one game at a time.

🎮 What I cover:
The original canvas version
My remake in Godot
Combat abilities and player controls
My current dilemma: linear vs open world
What I learned along the way

00:48 The first steps
03:04 Abilities & Combat polish

If you're just starting out like me—or if you're a dev looking to remake your old projects—maybe this can give you some motivation.

it’s super clean and easy to work with!
I’m creating my own characters and props in the same style to match it.
