Game
Two Towers Rereleased
3 years ago

After almost 10 years I managed to push out another version of Two Towers.


This was made in gamemaker 8, using pretty much only drag and drop. I had lost the files to this, but I've since come across a gamemaker decompiler, which allowed me to get the project files from the executable. I've been taking a trip down memory lane and exploring a bunch of old 3d gamemaker games, and after playing through this again, I had a bunch of things I wanted to fix now. Even if very few people play this, I'm gonna be happy that the game is in a comfortable state now.

The game was over 80 megabytes before. This is because the music in the game wasn't compressed properly so there was a single ambience track which took over half the filesize of the game. Having compressed the music, the size of the game is now 12 megabytes.

The default field of view in gamemaker 3d is abysmal. Totalbiscuit would have been screaming at it. Everything is so zoomed in and that was also the case for Two Towers. Untill Now!!! Should be a lot more comfortable to play now.

The difficulty, oh god the difficulty. It's way too hard and relies a lot on trial and error. This version does a lot to tone down the difficulty. The monster alert sound now gets louder the closer you get to the monster and it reaches far further out. This should provide a much better warning for how far the monsters are away from you. They also move slightly slower now and you have over twice the amount of stamina so you can actually outrun them now.

That's about it. Have fun playing my weird little game.

Here's a peaceful little forest scene for this #screenshotsaturday, from the beginning of the game.

Spaaaace~

These are background sprites I've created for a game I'm working on at school ^w^ Click on the post to see how the sprites connect. You won't regret it! (personally, I think it's pretty heheh)

Drawn in Piskel using my mouse. Whaddya think?

Today I tackled drawing different variations of facial expressions for one of the main characters in Eden. What do you think of it? :) Eden: https://gamejolt.com/games/Eden/592698

Respect (Only TLOZ Players Will Understand)

I just wanted to introduce you to my latest musical production and hear some opinions about it. Thank you very much.

Hey you, rookie! Yes, I am talking to you!! Come over here? Relax! Just stick to me and everything will be fine. By the way, my name is James Varhuher, but you can call me Big J. I will bring you up to speed.

Distrust - HUMERUS (with dirty shade) Papyrus isn`t small. It's possible that I didn't draw him well, but he crouched down and bent towards us. I'm still bad at moments like this

A calm and quiet day.. Made surreal by the feeling of finding an elven building in the mountains, and wondering of its purpose and story. I built this elven style house and it was my first attempt at something like this, but what do you think?

Where is Spider-man?
