The latest Demo 2 progress


​Hi there!

Here are some neat little things I added to Abstráctomon (will be unlockable in Error Ware 2 Demo 2):​

I put more stuff in the professor’s laboratory to make it look more… lablike. You can sit on the chairs, read notes or play with the Squalus inside the fishtank!

When you’re inside a building, the windows now change color according to the time of day. They even show the current weather!

Here the windows are flashing yellow because of the thunderstorm outside. I rearranged the lab and the MonPoint store interiors to make them more symmetrical.

I made new animated tiles for cliffs and rocks in water. Now you can see the waves crashing in on them and see their reflection.

I improved some weather effects as well. Rain, hail and snow now makes splashes when touching water properly.
​

Other things I improved on:

  • I finally figured out why I had some seemingly random audio issues with the Caster dll I use to load .ogg files into GameMaker8.1. Turns out you can’t have numbers in the variable names assigned to the loaded files. Basically I named them Song1, Song2, etc. but caster treated everyone as “Song”, so changes to Song 2 affected Song1 as well and so on. Anyway, it is fixed now!

  • The scores at the results screen of “Turbo Taxi” mode are now displayed in the correct order (highest at the top)

  • Made the final level of the microgame “Helicopter” easier

  • Fixed a bug in the “Draw something” microgame where the brush would turn invisible some times

  • Added the new microgame “Sound TripZ”

  • In Abstráctomon, you can now change direction when sitting on a chair or stool. Maybe I’ll use this feature in a chair maze?

That’s all I can think of right now. Overall many small improvements!
The game feels quite stable now.
As I said before, the new demo is coming soon​™​

A new invention lets you create shinies?!

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.

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!

Photographed Abstráctomon now cast shadows!

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

May I introduce you to the Rich family (from left to right): Gunther Rich (your rival), his dad Prof. Albert Rich and his mom Mary Rich!

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.

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.
