When you try to import multiple images into a single sprite in GameMaker Studio 2, you could end up with unexpected results. Specifically, if the images have different sizes (width and height), the sprite size will be equal to that of the largest image, but all the other images will be imported stretched to fill…
Let’s say that you have a sprite with a complex animation (i.e. variable frame rate). As you can see from the following image, each frame will play at a specific time (I use a simple Photoshop script to export the frames, I’ll write an article about it later).
This article will guide you through the setup of a Xubuntu 16.04 LTS Virtual Machine to test, compile and run your GameMaker Studio 2 projects on Linux. I’m choosing Xubuntu instead of Ubuntu simply because Xubuntu is less resource hungry (and my notebook is 5 years old I got a new notebook btw). The resulting…
Fuzeboy’s still in development so it’s only natural that sometimes I take time to rewrite stuff, to fix things, to experiment and so on. We try, we break, we fix, we extend, we change. We evolve. One issue we faced from the start, is the game resolution. What we knew was that we wanted pixel…
As I said in a previous post about my platformer engine (the one I’m working on for Fuzeboy), I’m using Zack Bell‘s code as a base. Recently I started to look into ways to optimize such code without losing the functionality (slopes are a big feature of that simple collision/movement code). And as someone once told…
I’m fond of platformers. It’s only natural that I spent the past year studying and refining platformer engines for GameMaker: Studio. Here’s what I actually use for my engine.
This entry marks the first entry of a new Devlog Series. I’m currently working on a couple of GameMaker projects and I thought it might be useful to document my development process. I’ve been inspired to do so by reading the Loadworld Devlog PT. 2 by @ZackBellGames
In this post I’ll try to write down the thinking process I made when I chose to develop Kren at a 384×216 sceen resolution.
In the earlier tech demo, I had positioned a truckload of similar tilesets. Those bluish/greyish square blocks are not hand picked. I did not make that work in the level editor. I got inspired by the Smart Tile Objects tutorial by HeartBeast. I simply downloaded the Square Blocks Textures from OpenGameArt.org, cut and pasted a bit in…
Not relevant anymoreThings changed quite a bit and thought I’m still using the same notebook, I’m now a happy Windows 10 user running GameMaker Studio 2. I use Linux only when compiling via VirtualBox. I’ll keep this short and sweet. Whenever I tell people that I have a notebook, they usually reply with something like…
