I realize some players just want to play the game and see the story, while others may actually want to use those revival items, so here's a little compromise for you all.
Also, yes, I NEED to put on that "Pro" flag everywhere.
The best way to let everyone play with whatever controller they want is to let players test it out, reconfigure it, and let them test it again.
...it's a bit messy, since this is a game that should support two players.
I felt some mechanics were underutilized, so I'm making an expansion.
...more or less just a side quest and extra dungeon. No more than that here.
Coming who-knows-when.
The next update may be full of bugs.
...moths, mostly.
First off, you can't rotate a background with draw_background_tiled. However, you can draw anything on a BIG surface, and a surface can be rotated and doubled up.
So, the infinite floor uses a surface, and now it's not chugging so hard. Look at the FPS.
Part of the expansion involves a cute little fight right here. ...in space for no apparent reason.
...too bad it won't be as epic as the final boss, but still...
I might have gone too far in a few places, and not enough in others.
So, what's the secret to drawing a car?
1. Just draw the car from profile, back, and possibly front.
2. Dig out any Hot Wheels product for reference.
3. Use the reference to figure out how to draw those in-between angles.
Like I said before, draw_background_tiled_ext() can't do rotation. ...but if I'm not rotating, I can use it without consequence for an infinite floor.
I'm gonna work on a system for the road to constantly spawn objects as I move forward in a sequence.
Here I am, still trying to push the limits. I'm pretty sure there's a shader for Mode 7 out there, but this is what I've been working with.
Also, because of limitations, red flashing floors generate force fields you can bump into.
