Been a while!

Hey, guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, it's been a crazy few weeks, and in that time I've gotten almost no work done on the game. I'll just tell you what I have been working on:

A NEW GAME.

I don't know if I will be dropping Game X (probably won't be), but I am going to begin work on a new game at some upcoming point. This new game will have better graphics and characters (with arms), but in order to do it i'm going to need to first write an animation program to deal with the animations that would be required.

This game would take much longer than Game X, but would have a better, faster, smarter engine allowing complete character customizability, such as armors, gauntlets, helmets, and selectable weapons and possibly classes. In order to do this, though, i'm going to need additions to my creative design team.

As well, this game would include color customizability. It's a code I'm working on for Game X, but COLOR CUSTOM WILL BE COMING!

I have other stuff to do now, though, so peace out, home skillets.

Sunday Update

Hey guys! Sorry I missed your Friday update! I just KNOW you're ALL pining DESPERATELY for this, aren't you? (I'm being sarcastic, if you can't tell from my face.)

So here's what's gone down this week:

1) Finished the Death Menu:

Okay, this one is cool.

The Death Menu is something that appears when you click on the dead body of a civilian. In case of an accident, the Dead Menu gives you options of what to do with the body:

-Bury: Standard. Removes some notoriety. Creates a grave which makes the body disappear.

-Heal Back: Good. Will cost lots of money or potions (or both), but heals the person back to life, and removes all notoriety (or almost all) gotten from killing the civilian in the first place.

-Steal: Steals all the money the civilian has, which won't be much. Increases notoriety.

-Deface: Pretty horrible. Actually removes the face and adds it to your inventory. Pretty horrible, I know, but I wanted to give the player lots of options. I think this makes me crazy. Oh, and skyrockets your notoriety.

I'll be posting a post one of these days about how I did all this.

2) Shops:

Shops are coming! This week, I worked some more on the codes to allow a very nice shop to spring up, and I'll also be working on a system which exits them. This will require lots of time and hard work, so forgive me for my tardiness.

Oh, and this will get a big post too.

3) Vegitarianism:

No, just kidding.

4) Flip Code:

Actually, just now I put in the final piece to the flip system I've been talking so much about. Should have fixed my bug by now (by making the object constantly jumping to the place it should be). Speaking of which...

5) BugSquasher:

The armor is in! It's got a cool, animated hammer! Here it is:

and without the face covered:

Look back at my old post to find the code! #BugSquasher

6) Package:

If you have a Mac, you'd know that games arrive in a special distributive file called a Package (usually a .pkg file), which comes with a fancy installation guide. I have downloaded and installed a PackageMaker application on my computer, and have now created an installer for the game. As well, I made a Disk Image file which stores the package (a Disk Image is a container file, labeled .dmg). This may now mean much to you, but it means to me that I'll be able to distribute my game!

Aaaaaaaand that's it. All I've got. I'll be working on more this week. Have a great week, y'all!

Found, solved, and fixed the 'random weapon spawn' issue!

Turns out, there was a delay in the weapon realizing where it should be. That was it!

Gonna work on making a BugSquasher and BugSquasher Prime class. BugSquasher will be obtainable through a code at the end of the other long post. BugSquasher Prime will be a more exclusive class obtained through a code one finds by answering a question on the post earlier.

Okay, so, here's a really old video of what Game X looks like. This was back at the time, like, in July or something.

Pre-Friday Update (read to receive an armor!)

To quote Tobias Fünke from Arrested Development: "Wow, gang. What an adventure!"

As you all know, I talked a while ago about the fact that I had input a 'flip' system, which allowed the Player to turn to face the direction he or she is going in.

But when I put the code in, i discovered I had a problem: all the weapons were being created at the wrong distance from the Player!

So let's begin with this. imagine a grid all around the Player sprite (2D). Point (0,0) is at the top-left corner:

In left mode, the object would be created at a certain point relative to the Player's point (0,0) (the top-left corner, remember?)

In right mode, however, I ran into all kinds of problems. First, I used a little mathematical formula to inverse the distance of the point from the Player:

New Point = Player(0,0) - weapon's preset distance from Player.

I later discovered, of course, that this was wrong. Why? Because I did not take into account the fact that the Player's sprite had to turn on the spot, too. Therefore, what appears to the player as the Player's (0,0) is now actually (0+Player's image width,0).

Of course, when I first wrote this and couldn't understand a word of what I was saying, I solved this ugly issue by adding a distance boost from the Player: the object would not be created at:

(0+New point+weapon's image width,0)

Now, this created an ugly mask of what I wanted to do. It was rough and didn't work, but didn't exactly impede on my work.

Until he came.

His name is Kerrigan, and he is a Shield Shaper.

This means that, when you press the space bar, a giant circle is created around him. Kerrigan will appear in my later posts probably as a special character, but while testing him, I discovered that, while facing the right, his circle was away from his body. Rather than behind it, with him in the centre.

And this irritated me.

So what did I do? I began to research the code problems in a special debug mode version of Game X:

The box on the left tells me all the variable's values I want to know.

So, in the original edit, I ended up with a window like this:

global.coney is the intended distance from Player.x=0. global.island is the intended distance from Player.y=0. And global.rhode is the distance from Player.x=0 when global.coney is put through my woodchopper equation.

I did a lot of arithmetic...

(paper is the only way to go)

...only to discover that I had made big errors. I hadn't, as I mentioned earlier, accounted for the fact that the object had to be created from Player.x=0+Player's sprite width, rather than Player.x=0, and when I put this in, I discovered that now I could remove the part from the code where we add the distance of the weapon's sprite width.

Whew. And here I am now, with the fixed result.

Well, almost fixed.

I have a final issue. Before the weapon hops to its proper position, it dilly-dallies at a random point. So now I need to comb through the code, rethink everything, and fix it. But that's for tomorrow. Now? Now I'm going to sleep.

Good night! I'll give anyone who actually read this a present tomorrow: BugSquasher! Answer a question about this post for the code!

FRIDAY UPDATE!

DUDES! We have a LOT going on this week! WOO! BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG STUFF!

1) Working on the brick depth to finish phase 1: Not working. REALLY not working. We need (I need) to review exactly how it works, because testing how it works in the same way official games made with Game Maker has not been fruitful.

2) Special armors: I've written a code that negates mods buying their armors. I won't explain how it works so that nobody ever gets to hack the game, but yeah, just putting that out there.

3) Base Monsters: We already, as you know, have monsters in Game X. The change is that we will make a 'base' monster template upon which further monsters will be using, with different makeup. Gotta fix the code for it, but I have high hopes.

4) Citizens!: WOO! This is BIGGY, MAN! These guys are cool as HECK! They select their own random outfit, and then consistently look like that.

You can kill them, but not without consequences. A notoriety meter will keep track of your notoriety. The higher your notoriety is, the larger the radius of the circle the citizens keep around you is. Of course, if there's an accident, you can redeem yourself by paying a hefty price for a grave. OR you can use some future health potions to return them to life. This is all talked about in my longest blog post. Check it out. I'll also be writing about them some other time.

5) Shops: Working on this in a totally different file. Complicated stuff, using arrays and weird codes like that. I'll need to do a separate blog post about this later... WIP.
