Good ol screen shake, shake amount is relative to the relationship between damage and current hp. It will shake more the closer DMG is to Current HP, and even more, if DMG is greater than it.

Terrain

So walking around a flat world is fine, but my game is isometric so having terrain feels like a must. too bad it's a pain in the ass to implement. I spent months on this and in the end, it wasn't good enough. It wouldn't play well with other props like trees well, The player could glitch it out and clip through it, render order and collision was abhorrent and it couldn't stack on top of itself. I'll be honest the whole reason for why I switched to 3D in the Godot 4 version of the game is because a fake z axis in 2D isn't very fun to implement.

Some of the collision shapes I had to setup

I drew them out so I could turn them into tiles for the tileset

Anyway, word of advice to anyone who wants to make an isometric game, make a 3D game that looks 2D not the other way around.

the overworld hud looks kinda like this but better since I cannot program something first for the life of me before making art. Although since it looks nice in the future I have high hopes for when I eventually put it in the game.
