Just a note, right now its in GML6.1 which uses Direct X.  As that isn't usable on anythng but windows or windows emu, I hope to migrate to C++ with A open GL based graphics engine so I can port this to other OSes.  After this release, I will probably have to migrate out of GM as I don't have 7 registered, and I am getting a vista machine (on which GM 6 won't work).  So basicaly, after this release, the brunt of my efforts will be in building the whole game over again, and probably building a whole new suit of tools to work with.

Not the best screeny (slow and not a perfect loop), but I don't want to show too much more...when the next release comes I think you guys will be suprised.  Its taking just a little longer, but the end result should be worth it.

A bit of paint, my own custom paint prog, picture it 9 for the transparencies, sometimes use unfreeze for the animation, and gimp.  I might realease my paint program in the future but it needs a few more features fixxed and need to make it less buggy (very haphazard code means lots of weird errors if you try to do something it isn't meant for).  Its also only for direct x computers (or iow windows).  I need to consolidate those tools some how cause it took me a half hour to format after I drew it.

Well, thursady wednesday may be my last class till the end of the month, so yay for time, just two more finals.

Also added a new two layer rain effect between classes and it realy looks good IMO.  Just finishing up a few last things and making some better levels that won't make you feel like doing this (yes, I made the smiley to...)

Will post screens with the new demo, which should be out within a few days max.  It should be a lot better than the last.

I wish I had time to be more active posting right now.  Progress on individual projects is slow right now save some interesting experiments and such...one thing I just got working was simple window in a window for all of my game.  Right now they can be moved and so forth and resized though I have limmited implementation for it.  It is still pretty primitive and will never be completely smooth (at least without an unjustifable tax on system resources) butthere you go.  I am also working on drop down menues and buttons and so forth.


And of course, I am spriting like crazy to try and move my things along.

this may mess up the context for the post following, but most of that stuff was outdated.

I am getting a 360 soon, waiting just a little bit to see if there is going to be a price drop, but there aren't any good wii games right now to make me want one (already have TP)
