Weekly Update 3: Miscellaneous Things


So this week has been pretty chaotic for me and I haven’t gotten as much done as I would have liked to. I got a new laptop and am still very much in a transition period. I also don’t curently have a mouse because the old one’s USB isn’t compatible with my laptop. I refuse to do any work with a trackpad. It won’t happen. I’ll be getting a new one soon though, so that’s good. Also I noticed on my new computer that my old computer made colors much duller than they actually were, which makes me see how bright and eye straining colors are in Skelemania. I’ll try and make them less straining when I get a new mouse!

On to the update! Last week I said I’d talk about the game world, instead I’m going to give you some miscellaneous facts.

  1. Super Skeleman had 103 rooms. Skelemania will have 192+

  2. Super Skeleman had 6 unique enemies. Skelemania will have 12+

  3. Super Skeleman had 3 updates (and one other). Skelemania will have 6+

Lastly, here’s a new graveyard area.

And if you check Skelemania’s main game page, you’ll see I’ve added the (unfinished) Graveyard music to Skelemania’s soundtrack. It’s probably one of the most badass new tracks. I recommend you give it a listen.

New week will be a surprise to all of us because I have no idea what I’ll talk about. Thanks for reading.

I'm developing a new commercial game with a small team! A demo will be coming to steam soon, but you can wishlist it in the meantime if you're into deckbuilding / autobattlers / roguelikes!

Wonder if anyone can guess what kinda game I'm working on right now with this GameJolt session data as the only clue. I bet someone can sleuth it out!

For some reason, it's really hard to change the alpha value of a tile layer in GameMaker. You can do this easily for sprite or instance layers, but not tile layers. So here's a video on how to easily update the alpha value of tile layers in real time.
