Hello all!

I am sure you have heard of Bomberman, and if not... well shame (Just google Bomberman!)
Anyway, for an assignment I am creating a variation of Bomberman.
I was wondering if anyone here in the commnunity have any good story line ideas that are unique.
I think I have one: You have applied for the Explosions Ministry Job that was mysteriously and suddenly vacant.
To be accepted in to this famous ministry, you have blow, dodge and blast your way through various levels to achieve victory!
The workers who were creating these puzzles and levels dropped some of their money. You must collect it all before you can go onto the next level.

If anyone else has any ideas please let me know!

Ok, maybe you can add an extra currency like gems or potatoes in it. Then you can use the gems/potatoes in the game shop to by upgrades; e.g. permanent faster speed, more bombs, extra gem/potatoes drop chance in the level.
You can earn the gems/potatoes by completing, blowing up enemies or other stuff.

What you think?

Hey,

Yeah I love the Idea, I jus have no Idea how to make a shop?
If you could help me there.... Thanks!

This should be in Game Ideas section, not Q&A. But anyways, you can't ask somebody to just make a shop, lol, that's a lot of work. You've gotta do it yourself, and learn whatever is necessary to make that perfect shop of yours.

Wel,,, I dont expect him to tell me everything about a shop... Just the basics.... Eg. What do I need? Rooms, objects?

What do you know about Game Maker so far? So I can direct you in the right direction?

I don't know any GML, uhm fairly good with GUI. I have used GUI on other platforms (StarCraft2). I can retty much do most things GUI, I just generally dont know where to start.

You'll need to learn GML before you can get to GUIs. You can either look for examples, or read tutorials like this one:

That's your first step. Gotta learn GML before anything else. Drag and Drop won't get you anywhere in terms of GUI programming.
