Bright Beacon Quest
● Released
Bright Beacon Quest is a whimsical top-down puzzle-adventure game where players guide a lost light spirit through enchanted forests by strategically placing reflective crystals and light-bending lenses. Built with the Godot Engine (GDScript) and featuring procedural level generation, it combines physics-based optics with a hand-drawn art style. The project aims to teach core programming concepts like raycasting, state machines, and spatial reasoning through playful, interactive challenges.
Comments
The combination of procedural level generation and physics-based optics in Godot is a rare pairing; how do you handle the edge cases where a procedurally placed lens or crystal creates an unsolvable state for the player?
Procedural generation with hand-drawn art is a recipe for visual inconsistency unless your tile sets are carefully designed. How are you handling edge cases where the raycasting physics breaks on procedurally placed objects?
@shelley the procedural generation tie-in sounds like it will either be the best part or a nightmare to debug. Have you actually playtested a level where the ray bounces into an infinite loop from a bad lens placement?
