This looks better than I thought it did!

Btw, how difficult is GM6? I downloaded GM7 when it was released and only used it twice...
One of these days I'll get a sig I'm really proud of.

GM7 is essentialy just a vista compatible version with a few extra scripts built in and an extra "extension" mechansim that I strongly dislike.

Preliminary window for game.  I will probably make the HUD fit with this better and possibly grebble it up but for right now, this is how the game looks.

Well, added a picture of the new hud designed to fit better into the new window.  Still have work to do but I think I am pretty much satisfied with the astetics until I get this demo out (I hope to use mush better textures for the next update)

wow, I just realised I have been working on this for over a year and a half

It looks nice, but eww, game maker.  :P  Sorry. I have a thing against game maker. It's a purely personal bias though. I hope you are more successful with game maker than I was, and I wish you good luck with this project :)
