Topics I've Started

A massive project I am working on...

13 March 2012 - 01:53 PM

Hey everyone. Mine Lad here.
Just thought I'd make this post before I head off to school today.
Basically, I just wanted to tell everyone on about my latest GM project.

For 4 years, I have been working with the software, but not actually making games. Just experimenting with physics and movement, and noise and what not, and finally, I am putting together all of my skill, as well as the coding help of others and the artistic talent of a close friend, to make a 2d platformer game called Mystic Miner.

Basically, the idea of the game is, you spawn in a randomly generated world, you mine for materials, earn money, build a house, make a farm and much much more. It's an open sandbox game and you can do whatever you want. In the latest beta patch, I have also included a hell portal that can be bought for loads of money.
Soon, there will be several types of crops, other dimensions, more ores and stone, and etc.

As a small sneak peek, here is the splash screen for the game, made by a close friend Liam Pitman.

Let me know what you think about the games idea, and if you are excited. If you want to sign up for beta testing, comment on this post saying you want to, and i'll send you a copy of the game 1 patch before the final version.

Thanks!

Is there anything I can do about this?
Thanks

Is there such thing as a code....

That detects if you just got back from a certain room?
Like in a Room Start event it would be like

if just_got_back(room_hell) {
}


Is there something similar?

I really need a code like this....

Keep score while moving between rooms?

Title and title description says it all.
How can I keep my score when I go to another room and back?

Thanks

Someone told me how to draw a sprite and make it follow the view around, but that is just a sprite, it's not an object WHICH MEANS
I cant have any code for it, like I cant make it so if I scroll the mouse wheel the image index will change or go up or down...
ALL I ASKED FOR was how to make the obj follow the view, because a sprite following the view is completely useless
Thanks
