Hello, again.
It’s been a long while for me to make MP3 tracks for Belgrad: Curse of the Castle. I was hoping to get this out by Halloween, but that was a no-go. Anyway, so far, I’ve got all my good little music stuff done.
…I just need to see if it needs more testing and fixing here and there.
Now, does anyone here want to try testing out this game before release, or anything that desperately needed fixing? Please, make your requests in the comments below.
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.
Yes, according to Game Maker, there IS a difference between randomise() and randomize(). randomize() gets you zero, guaranteed, with HTML5.
I would blame it on them, but I can adjust.
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.
The character and movement tests are going well, but...
OH. THAT's what Draw GUI does. It's not crunchy.
Then again, I thought that drawing a view to a surface would work the way I expected, but it ain't.
Dang it. I got the math right.
The real trick now is to optimize it. It's easier to do since it's technically all 2D.
Testing out a tentacle...
The HTML5 version was actually running buttery-smooth.
...and then it locked up on THIS screen for no apparent reason. 4th level. Even the music continued to play when I switched windows on this screen.
There may be limits to HTML5 I don't understand 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.
Part one of my zany scheme for a new project worked.
Using two Views, I can draw one squished, rotatable View as a texture, meaning I can use tiles for an isometric perspective.
Now, the tricky part is where everything looks like a pop-up book.
