Pop Quiz!


When making this game, there are things I have to cut. One idea for this game was to use trivia questions so obtuse, you’d need the internet or a wide knowledge of things that existed in the ’90s and before to solve them. I’ve decided against this for the final game.
These ones involve some copyrighted works for references.

So, let’s test your knowledge with deleted questions. Okay?

Okay, I'm testing out the HTML5 version again.

The crash is consistent with the one level, and one enemy spawning around that location: this guy.

Time to figure out why...

EDIT: I suspected the Magnet Crusher, but it's likely this guy.

Since certain elements of GM Studio 1, including ye olde "score" and "lives" variables, were deprecated in later versions, I reworked the score system while making them global.Score and global.Lives instead.

Now getting a million points can be done.

Importing again.

It may say there are 20 warnings, but 18 are about "__cam" and two are about "array_length_1d", related to ye olde depth system.

...well, I don't know if I should be worried about either at the moment.

How it started vs. How it's going.

The character-puppet thing ended up being the basis for the boss designs instead of the Robot Maid herself.

I could salvage it, but I'd think adding a mode where bosses fight each other is a bit too extra.

Oh, no, not again.

At least it's just the player character, but still...

EDIT: It's just her collision box being different for the Hurt frames. Easy to fix. Her sprites all have different collision boxes to keep her ability to duck.

Two screenshots.

Playing around with the title is only the start of a title sequence.

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.

Oh, no. They're stuck. I'M stuck. The only thing that could be doing this within reason should be collision physics.

Pretty sure the GM Studio 1 build doesn't do this, but the current Game Maker build does.

Can you tell what needs to be fixed on this screen?

...and if you noticed, is it worth fixing?
