Open Beta available!


Because the actual game is complete, and since at the rate I’m going, it’ll take MONTHS to complete original music for this game, I’m releasing an open beta of this game. What would/could change in the final version? Music, mostly. Right now, I’m using temporary tracks (and one original piece) for music on this game.

As such, I must make a big disclaimer because of my selection of temp tracks:
These Dreams by Heart.
Best of Anime and Sailor Moon (DiC Soundtrack) by Rhino Records.
Sailor Moon by Naoko Takeuchi and Toei Animation. Selections include tracks from the Super Best album and the musical.
…other tracks by their respective owners.

Anyway, enjoy. If any of you want to make original music for this game, please contact me and we might be able to finish this game.
If this game gets deleted for misuse of said tracks, you know why.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

It works, doesn't it?

...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.

Testing out a tentacle...

The floor's movement, being a view drawn onto a surface, is still one frame behind.

However, I figured it's more efficient to draw walls separately than to use blocks for indoor segments. They can stretch and keep doing the depth math accurately.
