✨ New features
- A new space shooter example with custom behaviors and beautiful 8-bit assets, made specially for GDevelop, by @castpixel
- Try it online!
- Check out Castpixel's Patreon.
- Behaviors can now have properties - that can be number, strings or booleans (checkboxes). It's perfect to make behaviors that are customizable.
- These properties can be displayed in the editor when the behavior is added to an object
- After adding a property to a behavior, you can modify and compare the value of the property using actions/conditions generated for it (only in the behavior events).
- Some properties can also be marked as not visible in the editor. It's useful to store internal state for a behavior, like the amount of ammo, health, etc...
