Just finished this thing today, happy with the result

How'd you get that effect? I'm really curious.

I would assume you linked the player's X coordinate to the alpha value of a layer, but that would mean that if they went backwards the effect would reverse? It's really neat though.

Wow it's almost like I wasn't taking it seriously or something.

How weird.

I'm glad you're enjoying the games though.

A few things:

• GMS is free now, and there's a workable engine with it that doesn't have any of the watermark or loading box nonsense in it.
• Restarting music is really painful the player.
• Something you did with the game makes it lag more and more with each time you die. I really don't know how you managed to code that.
• Your spritework could use some... work. It's not really congruous and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of thought behind any of it in general.

So... yeah. I'd take this one back to the worktable.

I think this is the most reasonable policy you could have given the situation.

Yeah, it's possible to force people to do jumps in really awkward ways with them. I'm also happy with how the graphic came out in terms of readability vs. jump refreshers.

Let me tell you all, this jump is deeply unpleasant, and I'm really liking this mechanic.

The quality of this GIF is terrible but I spent like two days making this thing so I want to show everyone

I wrote it, but I could probably write decent SCP entries too (or would if I didn't keep noticing typos in the background.) I'm going for a more atmospheric storytelling approach this time instead of dialogue like I did in my last game.

How do you deal with things that don't fit onto the 32x32 grid with that setup?

Also, have a title screen everyone:



It was more fun to make than the game has been so far.

Programming Questions / Re: Making Title Screen Show Stats For Saves?

I don't remember the variable names, but look in the script for saving for whatever is tracking deaths and time, and then use draw code to create it at an appropriate place on the loading screen.

I've found stage creation to be the most entertaining thing to watch in terms of dev streams. I don't usually watch at a high enough quality to actually be able to read code.

I wouldn't hold your breath on that one.

Yeah, I already fixed that and changed some integer things. I need some sleep.

New game? New game!

Still fiddling with the tileset to not get tangents that are disjointed by a single pixel, but it looks fine if you don't look too close (and don't take incredibly low-quality screenshots.) I also have no idea if half of this is possible right now.



I still haven't decided if it's going to be an all jump refresher affair again or not, and I probably won't finish it either way.

I'm getting "Shader loading error" while trying to compile and I'm using a fresh download of the engine. Any ideas?

EDIT: The solution appears to be not using weird characters in the file name. Lesson learned.
