Installation and Usage

To be able to take a look at, edit, test, and build this project, you need version 3.5 of the Godot Engine Editor, which you can download from the official website. Just clone or download this repository and import its project.godot file from within the Godot editor project manager. Other versions might work, but it is recommended to use the above-mentioned version of the Godot Engine.

Contributing

In general, all kinds of contributions are appreciated, e.g., bug reports, bug fixes, feature implementations like additional enemy types, etc. As I am mostly focused on coding, I would be glad if there are pixel-artists interested in creating original Mega Man artwork for this project like stage tilesets, enemy designs, and so on.

For people with very little Godot experience interested in code contributions, the following lists a few helpful related resources in no particular order:
