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
Okay, so I'm doing something either crafty or questionable: drawing the objects with Draw GUI.
It works, doesn't it?
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.
The HTML5 version was actually running buttery-smooth.
...and then it locked up on THIS screen for no apparent reason. 4th level. Even the music continued to play when I switched windows on this screen.
There may be limits to HTML5 I don't understand yet.
I realize some players just want to play the game and see the story, while others may actually want to use those revival items, so here's a little compromise for you all.
Also, yes, I NEED to put on that "Pro" flag everywhere.
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.
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...
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.
He's coming back. ...but just this once.
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.
Just a reminder. It's coming on the 16th, assuming nothing goes wrong.
