This is a game I have been tinkering around with since Godot 1.0, with the newest iteration now being worked on in Godot 4.1 using the Vulkan renderer.
Some screens (from various stages of development).

Currently, Level 1 is passable, and Level 2 has just been started. Both levels are accessed via pads in the hub, but the second pad will be black and inactive until you complete Level 1. With the design knowledge I have gained in terms of laying out code and the like, I have encountered no major issues in the current version (which started very late in the Godot 3.x cycle, but quickly moved to Godot 4). I really wanted to move to version 4 early on because there is just so much added with SDFGI and GDScript 2.0.
Since this forum is new, I know for a fact it probably needs someone to post to 'break the ice' and unleash activity. I hope this forum does well because I may even put out a demo before long.
Collect the Gems (3D Gem Collecting Platform, WIP).

The premise is very simple, you are a little robot, and you need to collect every gem in the level before exiting. To make sure you get all of them, the checkpoints are set up to tell you if you got all of them in the previous area (there is a gem icon that turns green, and if you missed any you get a message). There is also an arrow graphic that points to the nearest one in that area. A sound will play if the last gem in the area is collected.
The point of that is to make sure the player does not get frustrated when the exit is found and it is not activating, because there is still a gem at the beginning. There are also yellow point objects to collect (for score) and red point objects (for both score and for unlocking content later on). You can ignore the checkpoint indicators for now, but later levels might have mechanisms that will not activate then if the layout otherwise allows softlocking.
