Info:

Some time ago I made a remake of Head over Heels and I thought it would be interesting to use the engine to make something more interesting. The level editor of that game has grown to became a game creator, and even you can distribute your own games. Still, it's based on Head over Heels, so there are things you could not do.

Basically you can create new rooms, create new sprites, backgrounds and sounds or use those included, select the behaviour, animation, movements... of objects, and finally you can pack your resources to freely distribute your game.

A extensive help file is included explaining all aspects of the Game Creator and with instructions to distribute your games.

There are two exes, one for the Game Creator (the level editor) and another for the game alone, the one you can distribute.

Man, this is pretty impressive work. Nicely done.

Wow, great work! I can't believe no one has replied to this yet. Its very nice.

That's very cool. Many have considered making a game maker in game maker, but few have aspired for it to be different than the original.
I like the looks of your interface, and I dare say it might even be better for making certain types of games!
How ironic!

Greetings, potential Head over Heels 2 map designers.

I put together a C64 sound pack for FGC_HoH because I think the C64 version's sounds are just superior to the others. Unpack to the resources subfolder and enjoy

About bugs:
Apart from rare editor freezes from time to time, and sometimes the room test loads some previous version of the room, there are 2 bugs I can report with certainty:

1. Placing an object whose behaviour is "skateboard" or "switch" makes the editor hang. Avoidable by changing the default behaviour to something else, place the object, and select the behaviour afterwards.
2. The Extinguishable option "If Avatar 2 is present" is buggy because it doesn't work if Avatar 2 is in joined form.

Also when saving a room, the previous _saved_ file name is offered, not the actually opened one. This makes accidental overwrites very much likely.

Pity there isn't a map editor, but for that, a spreadsheet program does just fine.

Anyway, cheers, because the present form of the editor is just okay for creating a full game.

Do you use Filmation Game Creator.exe or Filmation Game.exe?

Thanks all for your comments, much appreciated.

RoePipi: Thx for the sound pack, it's cool. The bugs you have found have been fixed. The links for download are in the first post.

theg721: Use Filmation Game Creator if you want to create a new game or edit an existing game, and use Filmation Game to play the game.

Great work ,i test it.
it's verry nice
Thank you for this program/game creator



I use the Filmation Game Creator.exe to build or create game and Filmation Game.exe to play game
