Asset Optimization & Integration

I've did most of the Asset Optimization and the Integration of them inside the Godot's project: using Blender I've extracted all the free assets I've gathered through Itch.io, then I've used a plugin to create a Texture Atlas for each game level.
Then I had to setup the export to Godot manually item by item to be sure everything was set up correctly as there was no automatic asset import on the version we used.

The Level Design is linear with a few spaces that contains obstacles, and at least 2 exit ways to allow the player to never be trapped when the monster is chasing him.

Core Gameplay - Cheat Code Menu

I implemented using GDScript a Cheat Code gameplay element that quickly became the core gameplay of the project.
The script allow the player to enter "console commands" I created to have various effect: Giving items (from ID created & Associated to an Item), Gameplay Modifier (Jump Boost, No Clip, Speed Boost, etc.) and visual feedback if the commands entered has been successful or not.
