2D RPG Capstone: Build the Whole Game

Build the GameEvents bus and GameState, then register the six autoloads that every other system leans on.

Put Main.tscn together and drop in the player with its follow camera. Then bake a navmesh with NavRegion so enemies can path around the tile world.

Write EnemyXpBridge to push enemy deaths onto the bus. That one signal feeds the player's leveling, the HUD, and quest tracking.

Write LootPickup so ground items fire item_collected, and watch the global PlayerInventory and equipment stats react.

Write the NPC that opens DialogueManager conversations and hands out the slime-hunt quest the QuestManager tracks for you.

Wire up the bus-driven HUD, write Game.gd, and save everything through the "persist" group. That's the core RPG running end to end.

Add the weight and punch that makes every hit land: hit-stop, camera shake, and floating damage numbers.

Add the last layer of juice (hit flash, particles, a level-up celebration), then complete the full RPG loop end to end.
