SmartShape2D VS Godot-Mixing-Desk

- 2D polygons are supported at the same level as primitives and can be used as collision https://github.com/SirRamEsq/SmartShape2D here is a popular plugin that mimics unity spriteshapes.

For smooth 2D level design, look into SmartShape2D.

It's an add-on named "smartshape2d", very handy https://github.com/SirRamEsq/SmartShape2D

Amazing plugin: https://github.com/SirRamEsq/SmartShape2D for curved terrain.

yes there is, u/Nkzar already linked you to the SmartShape2D plugin.

Instead of making your own tools, the SmartShape2D plugin might be your thing. It's 2D, but since you're only mentioning planes a 2D tool might work for you.

I started out using tilemaps for that reason. It's much quicker and easier to start prototyping levels. I now use the SmartShape2D addon for the vast majority of my terrain. I would suggest watching a tutorial about it if you decide to try it out. It's a very powerful tool but can be quite daunting/confusing at first. As the previous user said you can use a lot of different nodes though so just try experimenting.

As for adaptive music, there used to be Godot Mixing Desk, but it hasn't been maintained for a while. I've seen some small projects pop out here and there, I'm waiting to see if there'll be a conclusive one for Godot 4. In the meanwhile I might try FMod.

Absolutely! Mixing Desk might be up your alley. I also have a version for 4.0 in progress, which is a total rewrite and condenses all the features down into a single node.

https://github.com/kyzfrintin/Godot-Mixing-Desk maybe something like this can be useful? loudness jump can most likely be fixed my normalizing the raw audio in any audio editor though.

As I said, I'm only small time. Super small time. My main project is a Godot Engine plugin, Mixing Desk. My only motivation on this was to help bring extra procedural/interactive audio and music features to Godot, and help make it easier for others to do the same.

Also, I'd recommend modulating your music to reflect the state of your detection. This is easily done with my plugin, mixing desk ;). Something simple like a drumbeat could fade in if you're close to being spotted, to add tension.

Take a look a this plugin https://github.com/kyzfrintin/Godot-Mixing-Desk

Some nice added benefits are an open source behaviour tree system (https://github.com/andrew-wilkes/godot-behaviour-tree), an open source audio solution (https://github.com/kyzfrintin/Godot-Mixing-Desk), the Tween nodes, being able to animate material properties, a functioning navmesh (again, 3D issues on Unity's front; 2D ports don't support side view), no need for weird lighting setups between 2D and 3D, faster scripting with gdscript, the Line2D node (which I use to render and bend the body of the wormy creatures in our latest tweet), and generally just the fact that all transforms are in 2D without needing to worry that my scene view is playing tricks on me.

It's a shameless plug, but if you ever run into any issues with FMOD, my Mixing Desk plugin can handle interactive music like that pretty easily! Adaptive/interactive music is something I've studied for years, and I put it all into that plugin :)

Have you heard of or considerd trying out Godot Mixing Desk? :)

I made one of these :)
