its about time i put Crash in a computer game.
I finally implemented a feature in Knight George I had planned several years ago: displaying different gamepad icons depending on the one you choose in the options!
The 3 main console pads are there, plus a generic one for any other gamepad.
I had initially hoped for some automatic detection of the gamepad's type, but alas there is no truly reliable way to do so in Game Maker
#screenshotsaturday on a Sunday because I didn't have time yesterday.
Attacking these knights will knock their helmets off, blinding them and making them go berserk, attacking anything and everything, including other monsters!
When you try to be a ~sneaky goblin

The Norcastle game I'm working on currently has no game play, I have just been drawing sprites
This will not bite me in the ass later on at all
Here are some unfinished newspapers that will appear in the game and a blank one if you want one!
For #screenshotsaturday, a hint/riddle screen that appears between dungeon floors. I showed a smaller slice of this screen awhile back, but now that it's in the game here's the full thing!
Hi #screenshotsaturday! Look at #santria 's dungeon map, helping you explore these abandoned (?) places! No missing chests and blueprints anymore! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamemaker
Work on Knight George has resumed, with for instance a refinement of the inventory and quest objects screen!
Much clearer and spaced out than before, here's a peek at what kind of stuff you'll find in the game!
It’s time for another #TrailerTuesday!

TREASURE PICKUPS!
Also got a Druaga style secrets system working to spawn these, but will hold off showing that till I have the level start and end screens in.
Hi #screenshotsaturday! Enjoy "sketches", #santria 's bestiary with a twist (revealed in a deleted 2017 tweet or a future bsky post)! Writing flavor text is such a treat! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamemaker
The story so far: 12:00h, 28°C in my office, but I've added basic tooltips and that's as far as I'm willing to take it right now.
Instead of going with a tooltip object to reuse, I decided to use a script in the draw event (and not needing an event manager).

Woke up on a Saturday at 8:30h (yikes), temperature already hitting 24°C.
Let's do some #gamedev. The game needs tooltips, maybe even an event system. I'm not sure I find #gamemaker's lack of anything UI related relaxing or not.
New Humble Bundle of interest to game developers.
The Learn #gamedev Bundle contains 5+ video courses each for #GodotEngine, #Unity3d, #UnrealEngine, #GameMaker and #Blender3d as well as a few C# courses.

I've released Super Menu System on itch io for FREE!
It's a tool to help build menus in #gamemaker.
Build UIs with animated buttons, texts, sprites and dynamic values. Interact with keyboard / gamepad as well as mouse. Call functions with or without arguments.
I think it's pretty handy!
