Our pony is made from multiple Sprite2D nodesĮach Sprite2D node can be loaded with a single sprite 'idle' or a spritesheet for animation like for exmaple when walking So that's it for the overview, we're going to use GDscript and some shader code for the coloring part, yes we could use self modulate for easier coloring, i've never really played with it so idk if it would allows for multicolor manes.Īlright let's dive in and start with the pony sprite first So basically when changing the first color picker color it will automatically make the Outline the same color but darker, this will prevent users to make weird ponies like this one: There is also two color picker, one picker change the Fill and Outline color of the mane, the other one isn't working but will be asigned to a second fill color to be able to make multicolor manes. We can also look on the mane tab and it looks like this, it have one button wich is the only avaiable mane right now but more can be added to more button later. Ignore the classe part as it's not implemented yet, so the pony creator have 4 tabs for coloring and changing manes and tails, also depending of the specie some more parameters are being displayed, in example if you select a Unicorn you will see the horn color picker like here: I have a character creator that is kinda advanced now so i think it's cool if i show it to the Godot community as it can fit with pretty much any 2D games.

So i'm working a 2D Topdown pony MMORPG game using Godot 4.1(at the moment but i tend to upgrade to each update)
