So I read the guidelines and it said I could ask for help getting the most out of this product but I'm new here and this is my first post, so, I'm hoping it's in the right place. Here goes: in a game I used to play on the gamecube abbreviated as: "SAB2" the main protagonist in it created a blue...

Hi everyone, I've started this thread as a way for people to share and discuss dll's they've made with everyone. I started the thread a couple of weeks ago to share my anisotropic filtering and external texture loader dll, but I've changed the title as I wanted it to be a more general thread...

Hi guys, What other games use this type of projection? I know earthbound, divine divinity and even the cool looking sock sock goes pop pop on this forum use this angle. Also, some platformers also use this style though I am looking for top down rpg style games that use it. Thanks

Hi Everyone, I'm developing a game which has a bright vibrant look. When I press the escape key it pauses the game and displays the menu options. My problem if that the menu text is lost amongst the game's graphics. Is there a way to put a grey filter over the whole game's graphics, so that...

Hello, I´m new here and I am looking for a possibility to develop an easy hands on prototype for my game idea. It´s a football manager and as I have no experience in coding I thought visual scripting would be nice. The thing is, a football manager consist basically of interaction with UI...

Hello, I'm new here, I'm Antikore and English is not my main language so my text can contain some errors. I've used GameMaker Studio from years to now and I'm happy with it. However, I never completed a full game and I'm becoming more strict on details. My problem is that I want to make a...

My game is at 256x240 resolution, running in Windows 7 in a resizeable window. If I run the game and resize the window, (using the mouse) it will start to 'tear' and white almost polygonal flashes will appear on the screen as im moving my character. At one time, I was in a small room, and it...

Ok so pretty much everything in my whole game causes screen tearing really badly whenever it moves. Also, sometimes, certain pixels end up not being exactly square, and it makes everything look weird (idk if that's the same thing or not). I checked the box in settings that says "use...

I wanted to make an old skool low res hunting/shooting game, or at least a basic framework. I made a landscape in 3D, and then added the animated elf/santa guy on the snow mobile, which was admittedly quite tedious. Then, I had to do a lot of Photoshop work, followed by some PNG optimization...

HIi everyone. i started making this game a year ago just for fun, the idea was to make a platform game that requires thinking to pass the levels, like a puzzle game. I am at a point where I find it a bit boring to keep making it, I need sincere opinions, if someone seems a good idea or can...

The game I'm currently developing requires a camera system where the graphics never scale up, and resizing the window increases the amount of the room you can see instead of the size of the graphics [it's a top-down single-player puzzle game, justifying this sort of camera]. I have already made...

So I'm following HeartBeast's youtube tutorial for the Hack n' Slash game in GMS2 and I've run into a problem with the roll animation. It works perfectly unless I start the roll outside of a collision and roll into something. If I hold down the right key it just loops the roll animation...

This is sort of a follow-up to another thread I posted. However, another issue popped up. Screenshots displayed at the link: https://sites.google.com/view/prometheus1998imagegallery/vertex-buffers-only-drawing-below-the-map The only things I can think of is that, somehow, I defined the "up"...
