Looking into how to most efficiently use Particles in Game Maker.
-You only need a new SYSTEM when you want to have different depth.

-Make a new EMITTER for each object making particles.

-Make a new PARTICLE when changing multiple settings (speed/sprite)


Particles are "Fire and Forget" so you can change their settings without much worry, but Systems and Emitters actively check their settings, which is why you need a new one.

Tip!
Make a script and put your Particle clean up code in there, then put the script in your Game End/Destroy/Room End code!

Recent shinies!

Not great ones tbh, mostly slightly different shades to the originals.

They really need to overhaul the shiny system from the start.

Happy February! I hope you're all doing well!

I lost a week when I was sick plus a couple more days when Granny had some bad ones, but I have still been hard at it, mostly working on more Ruins stuff bug fixes and optimisations. Lets get to it!

Lol, wish I could force the game to generate things like this, but it's not really possible with the perlin noise generation.

OMG the reason that the lighting was inconsistent is because there's bug in my Weather system that means it always draws a cloud shadow over the Island (but not the Caves or the Underground)
