Whisker Light

Take a rat through a maze

A remake of a game I made in Scratch in 2020 and finished for school in 2023.

The game can be found here.

The image depicts the first level made in the iteration of the game that was made public for a school project.
This image shows the starting level that will contain a level select in the future to decide between playing the remade levels and new levels while providing a test ground for the player to practice movement and input mapping.

Primary Goals

The aim of this repository and game is to make the game linked above in Godot as not just a remake but also expansion.
Hopefully you can expect a handful of features coming to the game which are to be listed below:

• Fully functional and customizable control scheme
• A remake of all the old levels found in the scratch project
• Creation of newer levels built with models from Blender and blocks from CSG Shapes
• Potential for a level editor
• Multiple Difficulties to choose from
• Skins locked behind difficulty
• Level Editor Uploading and accessible to all.

How to navigate branches and versions

Main branch will be the most recent branch that is going to be uploaded via GitHub Desktop, and have it's name updated to reflect a version, naming scheme as follows:

• Pre-Alpha, a hopefully temporary prefix to branches indicates that the game is not yet feature complete and does not feature a working level
• Alpha, the aim of the project by the end of December 2025, Alpha contains core features fully implemented and a test level for testing and development purposes.

The version naming scheme

• .01 > .02: Indicates a small patch or update including various bugfixes, code changes, and possibly minor additions
• .01 > .10: Indicates a major change containing major features or levels into the game that will be a noticable improvement overall.

How to Contribute?

IMPORTANT: All contributions will be properly credited with a hopefully working link to the github account of whoever contributes.

• Godot may have been listed previously but as a personal project I will not be permitting outside code in Godot, only models.
• Blender 4.0+
  Blender is required for the contribution of models and animations

What models do you need?

• Any low poly "small life" sort of aesthetic (consider ratatouille but low poly)
• Models of pipes and pallets
• skins for rats and playable characters (only 3 total will be selected for usage for now)

How can I play?

In order to play you must have Godot 4.5+ installed and have 1 method of going about this.

Step by Step instructions

• Download the files in the repo and put them into one clear folder.
• In Godot click on "Import"
• Navigate to the folder where the game is located while inside of Godot
• Click on "Select This Folder"
• Once the game is recognized be sure to click on the game while in Godot then click on Run
• If editing the files be sure to use F5 to run the game, and F6 to run a specific scene.
