🕹️ Godot 3D - Interactive Tiles

Modular base for a first-person Godot 3D game with customizable interactive tiles and unique inventory mechanics.

Feel free to use as a starting point for your project!

Note

There's a newer version avalible at - godot-tile-game
Which uses a different, cleaner approach to tile customization!

• Contents
• Showcase
• Inventory
• Quick start

Includes

• Interactive tiles system - with fully customisable behaviors (simple example)
• Unique inventory system - with smooth animations (details)
• Pixelation shader - for easy retro visuals
• Simple first-person controls
• Basic progression save system
• Clean signal-based code

Simple Example

Here's a very basic example of what you can do with just one type of custom tile behavior, this tile will destroy any objects that activate it:

GIF	Desc	Potential Uses
	Object is dropped on a tile to activate it → gets destroyed by the tile's custom behavior script	"Lava" tiles that kill player unless they sacrifice an item
	Multiple objects destroyed one-by-one	Pressure plates that stay active while items remain, like a fire burning until out of fuel
	Tile is held activated using a script → script stops → object on top is destroyed	Temporary bridges/gates that disappear/close after time
	Tile is forced into activated state via script → first object is removed → as a result, tile updates → item on top gets destroyed	Let the player choose to keep one of two bonus items / Create paths that close after the player walked on them (like one-way doors or no-retrace mazes)

Script to achieve the shown tile behavior:

extends Tile

func _on_just_pressed(object_pressing: Object) -> void:
	object_pressing.queue_free()
	$ActivationParticles.emitting = true

Note

Tiles store references to all the objects on top of them (which you can use for custom behaviors). But by default only one object at a time is considered to be the one currently activating the tile.

Demo tiles

• Blue - no special effects
• Green - disappears after one use
• Yellow - saves the game
• Red - kills player & destroys items

Inventory System

You can store items in inventory by:

1. Hovering & Clicking a hotkey
2. Drag & dropping them in

All items stored in inventory will slowly float in a circle above the player.
As the player moves, the items will slowly follow them with a changeable delay.

You can hide inventory when its not active, to not abstract the sky view.
And you can lower it when you need to look at your items.

Tip

All 15 inventory parameters can be found & changed at the top of the /scripts/player.gd script.

Demo controls

• E - collect
• Tab - show inventory
• R - toggle inventory
• Lmk - drag

Why Use This?

• Already handles the annoying stuff (item management, save system)
• Clean signal-based architecture (means easy extension and custom behaviors)
• All core systems are implemented and tested
• Easy to reskin for your own game

Quick Start

1. Clone this repository
2. Open in Godot 4.x (tested with 4.3)
3. Run scenes/demo.tscn to see the demo level

To create new tile types:

1. Duplicate any of existing tiles from /objects/tiles/ or extend from the /objects/tile.tscn
2. Modify the assigned script to create custom behaviors (use signals provided by the parent object)
