30 Day Challenge - GameMaker Studio - Day 7

Today was a down day so all I did was reskin the objects to be more 2001 like. In my mind, Dave Bowman has rebelled against his monolith masters and is fighting his way out of their space prison.

30 Day Challenge: GameMaker Studio - Day 6

I finished this up today. Added sound effects and worked out a bug or two.

Here it is, I could reskin it to make it more fetus-ish, but probably will just move on to the next game.

And here is the tutorial.

The best thing I got out of this one was finding these nifty old school sound generators.

30 Day Challenge: GameMaker Studio - Day 5

Tonight I added a reset when you die and some code that makes random asteroids appear. I actually won the game, just not in the example below. I actually have no idea what I'm doing. It's kind of a paint by numbers kit for video games.


Here is the tutorial. I'm still working on the sound effects and what ever "polish" could mean.

30 Day Challenge: GameMaker Studio - Day 4

Tonight I added a scoreboard, a life counter, opening, winning, and game over screens.

Here is the game test, I set the score high and lives low to run through it real fast.



And here is the tutorial I followed.

30 Day Challenge: GameMaker Studio - Day 3

This one was more challenging and there was a lot of pausing and repeating.

But I learned to add debris and laser fire. Cameron drew the arrow the ship is firing. I haven't figured out how to make the arrow point in the direction it is being fired in yet, but I'm sure it will come up.

Here is the tutorial.


And here is a video of my playing the game.

30 Day Challenge: GameMaker Studio - Day 2

Today I learned how to add sprites to objects, objects to instances, and then add functions to the objects. This software is a lot of fun! We are making an Asteroids clone, and Cameron is sitting beside me while I tinker away, his brain full of game ideas.

From what I knew on day one to now is a big leap. This is going to be a cool trainset to mess with.

Here is the tutorial I used.




And here is the where we are at on our version of Asteroids, probably the hardest game ever. Notice I added a space fetus.



It is not lost to me that if I could do this in 1972, I would have been the smartest person you knew.

30 Day Challenge: GameMaker Studio - Day 1

To clear my head of Clowns and Monkeys, I've decided to work 30 days on GameMaker Studio and see how far I get.

Episode 6 of CvM is up, and the goal is to finish it this year. but there are other things I want to mess with, and this software, I've cracked it open before but got distracted. So I'm going to working for the next 30 days and see if I can get a basic game out of it.

CvM did get me thinking about controlling the environment and possibly making a game version of one of the old stories I have laying around. It could be a new outlet. So here we go.

Today I did the first tutorial on YouTube.


It just showed me around but already I feel I understand the interface more this time out. The tutorial I tried a year ago wasn't as clear. This one starts very basically, which is where I am at.

What did I accomplish on this go around?

Well, I understand now what a room, sprite, object, and an instance is.

Room = Level
Sprite = Picture
Object = An element that exists in your gave with all its attributes detailed.
Instance = The object placed into the game.

And I drew this wiggling fetus sprite thing.
