*Technical* Found a fix for the Game Maker scaling issue!


Quick tech update:
I found a solution for the scaling issue (nasty gaps between tiles)!

Seems like some graphics card drivers (= mine) have an issue with scaling Game Maker games. To be save I made it a toggle in the options menu.

“Sharpness A” now scales the image actually 1 px larger then it’s intended resolution (481x321 instead of 480x320 and so on). The solutions online all suggested adding a pixel border to the tilesets, but that would be borderline insane with the amount of tiles I got! This 1 px stretch fixes it on my machine, so if you got that issue set it to “A”. The “B” setting turns that fix off.

Now I can scale the game any which way I want, so I added a third zoom option.

You can now choose from

  • 480x320 (2x)

  • 960x640 (4x)

  • 1620x1080 (6,75x, stretched to display height)

Don’t cut your eyes(?) on these sharp pixels!

Abstráctomon Screenshot (+GIFs! )Update July 29, 2020

Here are some zoomed out screenshots of some areas from the upcoming game Abstráctomon by U-GameZ.

The first Abstráctomon of your team can now follow you around! I'm currently working on this little feature. In screenshot 2 and 3 you can see a new variant of tall grass for beaches.

Here's my progress with the automatic island generation so far. Beaches, grass and ponds work now. It works with pretty much any source image size, but the larger the image, the longer it takes to generate the island. Next I'll try to add some elevation.

You might get a wet surprise while digging with the shovel! These fountains while lift you up if you stand / swim over them. Here it will take you onto an otherwise inaccessible ledge. Neat!

These fluffy snow monkeys are Abstráctomon No. 97 & 98 [ENG] Chillchim / [FR] Makrouler / [GER] Makuller and Lenzo.

They're Ice/Grass types. They love snow, but no signs of snow in my area yet. Maybe in February?

A new invention lets you create shinies?!

You can now let one of your Abstráctomon follow you around (still a little buggy). They can swim, too.

The game now shows a small screenshot with the time, date and the name of the location you saved in when saving or loading a save file.
