Was having issues with inconstant collisions when using physics in Game Maker.

I figured it out though!


So with Game Maker when you do Physics objects, the standard collision system doesn't work very well, you're meant to let the physics system do it.

But for example if you want earn points when a collision happens, you need something else.

The collision event!

What I couldn't figure out was how to get the actual object that collided from this. I just needed to use "other".

As soon as a collision occurs "other" is set to it's id!

Boom. Done!

Doing a rework of my Magic System to make it modular, so you can have any element as a Projectile/AoE/Orbit, instead of each being set as they were.

Also working on making it so Orbit spells have a charge effect to change the amount.

Madeline is the main protagonist of the mountain climbing platformer, Celeste. The game has been praised for its visuals, gameplay, and introspective narrative. The game's creator Maddy Thorson confirmed that Madeline is trans in 2020.

Magic rework is working! Added in the text info for movement types.

Just gotta fill in some sprite gaps, and a couple bits of data, rearrange and cleanup some look up/reference code.

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

Wishlist the game: https://bit.ly/CritterCove

New traps! (Don't have a UI element for BURNING Status yet though)

Thank you to everyone that gave me Charged Stickers last month!

You are all amazing and I can't express my gratitude enough!

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

New plan, gave up on trying to math out the spread based on the existing ones and instead added a charge to choose how many magic orbs to spawn around you, and also added a slow move from the centre out.
