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?

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.

...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.

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

I got the culling working for wall decos, but just in case, I made it optional.

I've also added screen-shake a while back, as well as roofs.

Again, I'm still working on the base engine before I move forward with everything else.

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.

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.

Two screenshots.

Here I am, trying to implement wall decorations, and I forgot to cull them.

...somehow, that actually helps.

Yep. I've got floor tiling. Kinda had a problem with arranging the sight-box at angle 270, but I've got it down.

I'm wondering if culling the walls is the right choice for indoors.

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.
