Hello! I am Ruslana, background artist with experience in creating and illustrating novel games. My portfolio with high quality images: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1-rhsBIxNrqz5QP_eZF2V23HxFKpdPr31 my ArtStation https://www.artstation.com/ruslanahad my DeviantArt...

So I was trying to achieve a 3d scrolling background floor however I have stumbled across this problem where I try to apply a 3d on a surface, it still looks flat. I have tried ways to manuever around this problem, but little to no avail. if !surface_exists(floor) floor = surface_create(...

Hi everyone, my background image has size 3840x1080. When running game, the background quality is lower than the sprite file. Is there any way to fix this problem? Hope everybody help, please. Thanks everyone!

Are sprites, tiles, background images, etc. only "drawn" by GMS2 when they are on screen and visible to the player? Or are there, in theory, performance efficiencies to be gained by, for example, manually telling GMS2 to draw only those tiles or portion of a background image surrounding/visible...

Hi all, This may be an obvious one for any of you pro's out there but for some reason my level looks transparent and the background can be seen through it. Even stranger is this only happens sometimes. I have have about 10 layers for game objects and game functions and then 7 background layers...

Hello everyone, I've seen videos of how to code a Parallax Backgrounds, it worked for me but it's not smooth, when the player stops or just starts moving, the background ike cuts off or something, it's not smooth. This is my Camera object: //Create //Display Settings IdealWidth = 1920...

Preface My apologies if this has already been covered somewhere. If so, please link it to me. I have done extensive searching on the forums and in videos, and either the solution is outdated (unsupported syntax) or it doesn't quite pertain to my issue. With that said: Problem I am trying to...

Hi There, I want to change the backgrounds in my game as time goes by. I was thinking of doing this in the timeline section, although I'm not sure how the steps work. I have a few backgrounds I want to use that show the time of day is changing, however, I'm not sure how to implement this in the...

Hello everybody, I have recently posted that I don't understand why is my background grey when I turn into the illustrations mode, making the layers invisible and deactivating all instance before that. But I have just found out that my layers are not turning invisible. SO why doesn't this work...

Hello Everybody. I am currently making the Illustrations System for my project in GMS 2.3. And it goes well, but what I can't make working is the background, it is grey for no reason. So currently my illustrations are working this way: The game just draws the 640 x 360 image to the screen in the...

Hi guys, after the update to the 2.3.0 version when I run a project (converted to 2.2.5 or not) I can only see the background and hear the music, nothing else. Object and tilesets seem invisible. I have already reported this problem as a bug to YoYo. They suggest to switch the graphic card to a...

Hey all I'm sorting out some parallax backgrounds. I wish to place individual images in my background and select repeat horizontally but need some padding. I am trying to avoid setting the texture page size higher so is it possible to repeat an image but space them out without altering the...

Hello, new to the forums and GMS2. I'm working on a mobile game prototype where a background scrolls as the player walks and kills/encounters more enemies. I've found the option to use horizontal tile settings, and also background_hspeed which would both work, except my background is angled and...

Heya. Probably a silly question, but: At the moment I have a simple 32x32 sprite texture which is tiled horizontally and vertically in the background layer using the precooked stuff. Works fine. Now - what if I wanted the said 32x32 sprite texture to have variations, but still tile vertically...

Hi, Recently started to get familiar with Game Maker after a long hiatus from any kind of hobby game development and found that in GMStudio 2 (Beta v23.1.1.67), I am having issues where the background always draws above sprites. If I check the room settings, the depth of the background layer...

Hey there, hum, I converted my (almost) ready game. My texture rate is set on 2048 x 2048. I always remark ugly edges in my transparent sprites esp. in my BG-textures (I sometimes import prepared images, made via Photoshop). I created .png-files with transparent BG, 72dpi, RGB, 32bit. Any ideas...

Hi! I'm trying to understand surfaces, not the application_surface, but rather an individual surface that I can manipulate.. This is probably a beginner question, but, as the title suggests, how do I draw onto a surface? More specifically, how do I draw my Layer background sprite onto its own...

Hi everybody, I would like to create a short animation of the background that flashes between a color and its inverse. I would like to trigger this animation when the player takes a power up. Among the threads found in the forum I tried to change the background color with this code: lay_id =...
