The Great Restart!

After having picked up Game Maker for next to nothing from HumbleBundle I’ve decided I’m abandoning Stencyl (which I probably should have done long ago, I admit it was a crutch). Now begins me learning to use it and porting over my in progress projects. I’ll be nice to be back learning a language rather than just using jigsaw pieces to cobble things together.

Hopefully I’ll get some screenshots up in the next few days, I need something to take and save multiple screenshots at a time, I don’t seem to have Paintshop Pro anymore which I used to use :/

Changed the chat font to the official Today Land one (Name font is still wrong), and fixed the spacing issue between letters. I Must remember to double space between words.

Also, here’s how the animation flow works. It probably could still do with some work, but it should be pretty easy to use.

Seems my Cutscene system works! Please forgive the terrible writing, I just needed something to test it all out. (also the framerate I’m trying a new method of recording)

I was trying to make something that could be used for cutscenes, here are two sprites moving randomly (Since I didn’t want to spend time giving them individual unique orders)

Line1 ;Current Action, direction, Time performing

Line2; Current Action, direction, Total Time

Line3; Next Action, direction, Total Time

Current Possible Actions are; Idle, Walk, Jump, Turn. Camera (follow) Amazingly it’s mostly just the pre-existing movement code with the keypresses swapped out for Actor values provided by a randomly generated List of Actions.

A mock up of a mock up! I was procrastinating trying not to design levels for my platformer and threw this together, if it goes down well I might make the other scenes too. (the text boxes and movement will obviously carry over since that works been done, clicking interface will need a slight addition. Healthbar works, inventory window/portrait/text window can all be swapped out for other characters) It’s a shame Stencyl seems to have issues with some font when displayed really small, or I could have used the ones from the source images.

Wasn’t sure how you wanted the water to look animated so I left it out, also I added some fruit modified from: http://opengameart.org/content/good-fruits-m484-games I don’t usually have the button display but thought it would be nice to know when your crouching/crawling or going squish from a fall :D
