Creating & loading custom data in Godot/C#
Let’s create our own resource types to improve our tower defense game!
A few weeks ago, I discussed the fundamentals of creating a 2D tower defense game in Godot and C#. We saw how to setup a basic top-down scene with ships popping regularly from one side, which move along a given path to reach the other end, and with a simple UI to create towers to stop them.
In this episode, however, we intentionally stuck with hardcoded data, because I wanted to focus on the logic itself. This means that this first version only had one type of ship, and one type of tower…
… which is pretty boring, right?
Indeed, it would be better to design some tools to easily define other types of enemies or buildings, ideally so that they are also tweakable by non-dev game designers ;)
So, today, let’s see how we can do this in Godot and C#, and create our own node types thanks to the Resource class!
