A game I made

[Julian]

Sure, I'll send you a download link when it is finished ^^
Will take quite some time though, if I can get myself to finish it C:

please add me to the list, i'm quite a big fan of yours

Sure... and thanks

Can I try as well, your games are pretty fun

Sure ^^

I just made a vid about the game and posted it on my forum, and I guess you guys might be interested^^

Haha, single player. I am not too sure if that will give a great impression
of the game. Nice video though, thanks for making me more famous

Current look:

Can I assume the movement controls are similar to Thersa vs Killer? And the new image makes it feel alot more 2d-maps from megaman. Well it would be 2.5D in this case.

[Julian]

Indeed. It's Thirsa vs Killer though, not Thersa vs Killer

Eh you can forgive a simple typing mistake.

I totally redid the programming... you still can't do much more than removing
pieces of ground and running around, but it is now possible to have much larger
levels without lag and generating levels randomly is much easier to do now C:

Current look:

(tinypic.com, y u no upload images in good quality?)

[LichLord]

Oh well, at least I won't have trouble doing annoying jumps that are close to impossible on rare ocations where maps were badly made lol.

try postimage.org

Nice!! I look forward to seeing the night vision effect.
I've just realized that I mentioned in some post to expect a jumping creature for the new map, dunno what i was thinking of ^^ dumb unconscious mind..

Thanks for the tip Kilele, I'll try it out soon to see if it provides any better quality C:

Now for the game I am working on (Soil); I finished the very first demo!
It is just the core mechanics here... more a tech demo than a game, but I would be
very pleased if some people could try it and tell me what they think about it so far ^^

I am at 293 lines of code now... and at times it is way harder to program
than it was for my previous games. Today I had to solve how to calculate
the start coördinates for the laser ray. I came up with the following:

(laserdistance = sqrt(sqr(30)+sqr(8.5)))

var i,ii,iii;

if mouse_check_button(1)
{
i = (obj_player.image_xscale*radtodeg(arctan(8.5/35)))
laserdirection = point_direction(obj_player.x-(13*obj_player.image_xscale),obj_player.y-47,mouse_x,mouse_y)-i
ii = cos(degtorad(laserdirection))*laserdistance
iii = sin(degtorad(laserdirection))*laserdistance
global.laserxstart = (obj_player.x-(13*obj_player.image_xscale))+obj_player.hspeed+ii
global.laserystart = obj_player.y-47+obj_player.vspeed-iii
scr_melting()
}

Well it works, but for once I am glad I am learning mathematics at school
I programmed everything in a way that it will be easy to randomly generate
levels and it also runs very smoothly on a crappy laptop like mine, even with
a way bigger level than shown here. No lag problems... not for anyone I hope ^^

This game won;t run on my computer. I think it's because my computer is super old.
When I try to run it this shows up

Well I already experimented digging through various paths checking how deep it went, diagonals stairs, to have a way to go from bottom to the top, then meeting points, until I ended going from top to bottom eliminating horizontal layers till the whole map was cleared. So I guess its working good until now. I liked how the laser aiming works, controlling direction and length perfectly. Can't wait to see how this game develops.

@ Hallmonitor
I googled that specific error and apparently you have update and/or (re-)install your video drivers.
I am not a hardware expert though... I am not even sure what video drivers are exactly
But thanks for trying anyway! ^^

@ Lichlord
Great! Thanks a lot

[Julian]

Well Kilele, I tried postimage.org and I have to say it is amazing!
So, thanks again Here is nice comparison between a week ago and now:

[Julian]

I am rich! :
