I hereby give you... Camera control!


First off, thank you all for your feedback. I’m glad this game at least got noticed.

…but everyone had complained about the camera, though not very specific about it. So, I added some camera rotation on Q and W, and a way to change the camera movement in-game: pause, press D, and unpause, and see what you think.

You’ll have to re-download the game, but at least you can transfer your old saves over to this version.

Once again, thanks for your feedback. I’m only one guy, so I don’t know if I deserve any slack. …but I can’t do anything about a Mac version yet.

On one hand, I'm getting there. On another hand, "No, I'm not."

Then again, I probably forgot something important about layering the old-fashioned way, and something about using a view as a texture.

Strangely enough, of all the games I've made .exes of, this is the one that STILL works on my current computer. And sometimes, I realize I made some poor decisions in game design with this one.

...huh.

Didn't realize that debug mode was different on that version of Game Maker. Also shows WAY too much for players to use.

You can also click and drag some of those elements.

On the plus side, the tile layer ISN'T overlapping, and Draw draws objects.

On the other hand, NOW the tile layer lags during camera movement.

I guess I'd better let everything else lag for consistency (somehow), or fix the lag.

Okay, so I'm doing something either crafty or questionable: drawing the objects with Draw GUI.

It works, doesn't it?

Concept art time!

Early on, Tiel had a backpack because in the fic she was originally created for, she was going on an adventure along with Rick. That's why I was kinda attached to her.

Here. Just to give you an idea as to what I'm going for.

The character and GFX are temporary, but they help me realize what I want to do with the engine.

Well, I was looking through some old files, and found some cool stuff.

For some reason, I wanted to experiment with a different thumbnail.

It took a while, but I got rotating flat sprites going.

Technically, it's a polygon, but it works.

If I were to do sprite-stacking, I have a basis, but my primary use for this is rotating attack animations.
