I like, it very good selection of assets, I love the retro style and it is also challenging. I would suggest to add gamepad support, I don't think it would be hard to add this feature and this kind of game typically benefit a lot from it as they are meant to be played with joystick.
Since there has been some progress with the Vr project and I never shared a screenshot here, here there are a few ones.
As you can see on each of them, there are almost no 3d assets excepting the main characters (which need a lot of work yet). All the flat colored tetris like objects you see need to be textured and sculpted, since I'm not skilled with 3d art I'm also showing them here just in case anyone wants to contribute. The shapes are mostly not very complicated but texturing them may be a bigger challenge...
The game is fully playable now and unless there is any bug I'm not aware of you can complete the whole game. There's no saving mechanism yet but you can select the level where you want to start by simply tweaking the code.
I also added a level editor recently which works with both the 2d and the 3d project, you can create your own levels with it and export them to both projects, if you are curious please check the repository here: https://codeberg.org/glitchapp/Grid-Level-Editor
Feel free to give feedback and I hope you like the progress done!
Hi, I did not posted anything since more than a year in this forum and the project as progressed a lot since, so I'm leaving here a summary of what's been added to the project recently just in case anyone is interested:
Gamepad support added (no need for mouse or keyboard)
Level editor: You can now create custom levels without coding a single line
More dubs have been added / completed
The vr port is currently playable
New assets for the Vr port added
As this is a FOSS project you can contribute in any field you are interested which includes: giving feedback, betatesting, submiting custom levels( which you can create with the level editor) or you can simply enjoy the game.
The level editor has been released as a standalone app and the repository can be found here
It is not added to the standalone yet but you can actually create pixel art with the editor and for now you can take screenshots within it. I will probably add a function to export to png or jpg (there's some work in progress). This would allow you in future iterations to be able to design both the puzzle and graphics as you could draw with it tiles or elements by toggling some option.
If anyone is interested to contribute on the art of the game I'm specially looking for 3d artist to add assets to the Vr game. There is a plan to fuse both projects into a godot project so that the future game would contain only 3d assets, you can however still contribute to 2d assets if you want.
Developers can also contribute by helping solve issues or providing feedback. If you have your vision of the game you can also fork it and take over (I'll be happy to know so let me know if you decide that).

eugeneloza, in order to get good results, first I need a good collection of audio to train the A.I.
One thing I noticed is that you can make a voice speak any language, but the cloned voice make the same mistakes a non native speaker who doesn't master the language would do regarding pronunciation: bad pronunciation of vowels and consonants due to missing examples in the given language. That's why it would be important in my opinion to have voices in several languages.
I've never trained an A.I. to clone voices but it would be an interesting (an eventually useful) experiment.
I already tested and experimented with cloned voices and they sound quite good but I'm not sure how much training and data was needed to create them.
Ragnar Random: scripts make life easier, specially for such technology that most of the time does not even have a gui, so if you create one that works please let me know, I'm very interested.
I've never did machine learning training and just used trained so called weights to test the technology, but I think I could do that. The problem with the A.I. being trained on non open datasets I think should be discarded if you only use a voice from someone who permits his / her voice to be cloned, correct me if I'm wrong. The challenges to achieve a collection of good quality cloned voices as "ragnar Random" mentioned above would be to have a large and high quality collections of audios and another challenge would be to find people willing to let their voice be "open sourced".
There are other issues that come to my mind such as someone making a bad use of those cloned voice even if does not break the license, but nevertheless I think there is a lot of potential in a set of cloned voices for creative projects and it could eventually enhance the quality of them if well used...

Amazingly good mixed! I love it!
Thanks, glad you like it, I added your tracks to the game and the music player Umplix, I guess you know it already but just in case.
Thanks for your contributions!
I agree that some kind of hovering animations or effects helps and makes the gui feel responsive. Nice and cool project!
thanks for sharing, I like very much "Stranded in the outer rim, very nice ambient otherwordly track.
