So, as stated in the previous post: I've given up on Studio and switched back to gamemaker 8.1. Below is a listing of today's progress (as all progress in Studio is useless now) followed by a link to an alpha build.
Progress made0.15.78 (15 september 2013)
*Moved back over to Gamemaker 8.1 because of unstability in Studio (nullifying all progress since 0.15.61)+ Delete and Backspace now do the same thing as Escape on the title and gameselect screens
+ Adjusted intro text slightly
+ Added extra screen resolution (1280x960)
+ Renamed gameselect object
+ Renamed HUD object / scripts / sprites / surfaces
+ Fixed item menu drawing slightly
+ Renamed particle objects
+ Fixed surfaces errors in the text engine (it's quit possible you'll lose the text already shown, but it's still better then game breaking errors)
+ Renamed some of the game's rooms
+ Renamed some more scripts and resources
+ Improved efficiency while selecting a saved file
+ Text engine can display item sprites
+ Improved Goriya AI
0.15.79 (15 september 2013)
+ Renamed obj_Master, obj_Character_Control, obj_Area_Control and parent_Control objects
+ obj_Master old debug functions now only work if the character is named debug and left ctrl is held down. I'll include leave these feature on in future releases. You'll find a textfile with instructions in the next release.
+ Added death debug function
+ Added debug room for alpha/debug releases. It's big and empty, but I'll add contents over the next couple of weeks.
+ Fixed surface errors during Credits
+ Renamed scripts / sprites / objects associated with obj_Deathscreen, obj_Item_Menu and obj_Dungeon_Map
+ Fixed small graphical issue in the itemmenu
Alpha buildPlease note that
this download only contains one large empty room. Please only download it if you have a interest in helping debug the engine. I wouldn't want to dissappoint anybody looking for more. Also, please excuse the filesize. I'll cut some fluff out of the next one.
The following requires testing:
- Titlescreen
- Gameselect / options / name enter
- Item menu
- HUD
- Save & Quit
- Credits (check the attached debug file for how to get this)
- Death (check the attached debug file for how to get this)
If you find
anything that needs fixing, be sure to let me know.
