Here. It's my ZAGE announcement. I've been planning this for a while. Also, since I'm doing this to announce the level-up update, I might as well make it fun.
You can actually find this sequence in-game, but it'll require a certain code.
Next up
...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.
On one hand, I'm getting there. On another hand, "No, I'm not."
Then again, I probably forgot something important about layering the old-fashioned way, and something about using a view as a texture.
Just a reminder. It's coming on the 16th, assuming nothing goes wrong.
Part of the expansion involves a cute little fight right here. ...in space for no apparent reason.
...too bad it won't be as epic as the final boss, but still...
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.
The next update may be full of bugs.
...moths, mostly.
He's coming back. ...but just this once.
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.
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.
I felt some mechanics were underutilized, so I'm making an expansion.
...more or less just a side quest and extra dungeon. No more than that here.
Coming who-knows-when.
