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.

Maybe this thing needs to be in a big jar.

Almost there...

There's gonna be a second driving section without walls later.

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.

All this work to get punched in the face.

A step-by-step process for bigger sprites.

GM Studio 1 works like Windows XP's Paint, but with nicer features. As such, even a lefty like me can learn to draw right-handed with a Line tool.

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.

I'm getting closer to my goal here.

All these rock piles are gonna loop indefinitely for now. My goal is to make the road widen, tighten, and move side-to-side with the walls.

...and replace the grassy floor with something more fruitcake-like.

Trying to do that Infinite Floor thing (technically, it's a trick of the camera), and I think it chugs.

Makes sense, since it's drawing on one surface over and over for each scanline, then putting that on another surface, which puts that on-screen.

Hmm...

This is the driving sequence in action.

I don't have any original music for that part, and I can imagine that passing-through-flags sound getting annoying after a while.

The only thing harder than animating a set of wheels is making it handle like a set of wheels.

...and making an infinite floor without resorting to the official 3D engine.
