Other Velvet Engine Games/Stuff
« on: October 28, 2008, 11:43:01 pm »
The game engine, which is the brunt of what free time I have right now, will probably be used for more than just Lorn and Combat Ball.  I have a number of ideas for games that could be made one the engine fairly simply, some of which would require relatively little art and take perhaps a few hours total to make, while others would require quite a bit of effort.  Until I put up info for the games themselves, I'll put any such materials in here.

well, in recent news i have been slowly moving all my files from my laptop to my vista per my my laptop's usb no-longer working, and its screen dying (using an external monitor).  Sufice it to say I am not getting much done till I can transfer everything.  While I keep hoping to be to be more active, crap like this keeps coming up.  For some more possitive news I did get a major portion of my level editor working (allowing me to resize the corners of objects I add to the work area.)  Hopefully I will have something to talk about soon.

I hope you don,t lose anything. Laptops tend to break pretty often especially when used a lot. I hope to see more progress though

i also liked what he posted on IRC, altough Idk if I am allowed to share here. But it was quite shocking and I would wish the game actually had this O.o

EDIT: actually necro posted about it just now in the screenshot thread

Well, work continues on the editor for this.  I starting to hit a brick wall with trying to get certain things to work due to me cutting corners earlier, so I am going to be doing a major code clean up.  In my defense, game maker is not well designed for the sorts of things I am trying to make it do (complex code development), but anyways, I figure I might as well show you what the editor I have no plans to release looks like.


Oh, and I just found out you can overload scripts in gml which makes me very happy...its not as good as having constructors, but meh

ooooh interesting, I also hope you can get around the bugs in the other project that cause the game to not run on most computers
