How to Add Juice to Your Indie Game

While developing Quetzal, I try to pay a lot of attention to small effects and improvements I can add to make the game feel better. Game Juice or Game Feel is something I appreciate tremendously in the games I play.

In this video I’ll go over 7 little improvements we can add to a simple enemy in my Godot game to make it feel better, even though it can be applied to any other engine as well.
