Looking into how to most efficiently use Particles in Game Maker.
-You only need a new SYSTEM when you want to have different depth.

-Make a new EMITTER for each object making particles.

-Make a new PARTICLE when changing multiple settings (speed/sprite)


Particles are "Fire and Forget" so you can change their settings without much worry, but Systems and Emitters actively check their settings, which is why you need a new one.

Tip!
Make a script and put your Particle clean up code in there, then put the script in your Game End/Destroy/Room End code!

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.

If you see this, post a bird.

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

It's not as good as when the player fishes, but NPC's can now fish in Fishponds. I need to set up some more variables to get the bobber to bob and to let them be able to cast the line.

Also animate the water...maybe add shader?

That's tomorrows job.
