lol i'm actually making a game

An old friend gave me a code for the latest and greatest GameMaker Studio a couple months back, which he got as an extra from a Humble Bundle. It was a "long time no see" reunion gift after like a decade (we were besties back in the day)

And now, I am doing the inconceivable: I'm actually making a game.

It's tough to find the time between work, but I am hoping to actually make a fucking game this time, not a tech demo or other assorted bullshit that I always used to do.

It's going to be a top-down tile-based puzzle/adventure type thingy. It's going to have pseudo-3D. I want to sell it on mobile. This will be a fun adventure.

Which reminds me, I'm here to gather one of my old code examples because I don't feel like re-deriving my fake-3D solution from scratch.

I'll show screenshots when I have something worthwhile.

Feels good to be back.

Don't make the menu for it yet. I'm working on an interface framework for GM :S

Are you working in GameMaker: Studio or Studio 2?

i'll upgrade to studio 2 when it's in a humble bundle lol

Figured as much. Anyway, Studio 1 is still pretty dang good. I'm just on that hype shit about 2 since I imported my game and it went a lot smoother than expected.

And array literals. Thank god.

lol, i got a little carried away with the fake 3d, trying to do goofy shit like make bridges and shit, to the point where it would make waaaay more sense to just give in and use d3d.

but this was never the point. i need to settle the fuck down.
