aridai's (Very Personal) Godot Template

A project template for Godot with some of the most essential plugins, a scene transition/loading system and itch.io integration

How to set up itch.io builds?

You have to fill in 3 secrets in your repository:

• BUTLER_CREDENTIALS - an API key, generated on your itch.io account (Account > Settings > API keys)
• ITCH_GAME - internal name of the game (ex. if it's located at aridai.itch.io/spirit, the ITCH_GAME would be spirit)
• ITCH_USER - your username on itch.io

You can either be more precise in your exports by triggering the manual Dispatch Export workflow, or just get the game out quickly by putting !itch-deploy somewhere in your commit name.

Features

• Godot Game Settings plugin - For setting up a basic config menu for the player
• Aseprite Importer - Say goodbye to clunky sprite management
• Sound Manager - A pipeline to control Music and SFX, complete with volume control in the GGS
• Asynchronous Scene loading - Complete with a loading anim for the really hefty assets
• Scene transition system - Complete with seamless music and lack of freezing transitions
