Progress Report: Gameplay footage this week... hopefully.

#draco #dragon #indie


Hello again everyone!

Again sorry for the lack of progress again. Real life can be a pain sometimes y'know? But have some rather bad news:

The Bad News, is that GameMaker is kind glitchy right now for some reason since I updated to latest version...which was a mistake:

One problem is that when place or remove tiles, they won't show up or disappear unless I hide and unhide the tile layer. I never encountered that issue before.

The other issue is that Draco's sprites won't work properly despite the code being correct. I should know because I learned from tutorials and I've done it before it worked fine before but now it won't work and I made sure everything is right. I might have to uninstall GameMaker and reinstall it with an earlier version then NEVER update. But I think I might have a solution after looking at all my tutorials files and template files I downloaded to also teach me how to code.

Issues aside I do have good news though. Before I encountered these issues, I managed to test Draco's new animations and they worked great, man you should have seen the Attacks, when I ran game they looked great! Not only that, I also got the right size for him in the game, so he won't be too small like in the last gameplay footage.

Anyways my goal this week, since I'm in the zone and really ready to move forward in this project is to try to get Draco and the 2 enemies coded and show that off. If I can work around those issues I mentioned above I should (hopefully) not have anymore issues for the rest of the game.

As always thanks for your support and understanding for the game. Also thank you for supporting my artwork as well, I'll try to have more original work (both game and non game related), with other characters I just uploaded and fanart, but a little less.

See you guys in the next update: Take Care :)

I removed some of the background elements, because I thought it was too much. Spoison's Boss level has background assets too.
