This is totally cool! and just what I have been looking for!

One question though, is it allowed to make commercial games with this engine, provided that I use my own sprites and such?

Edit: Nevermind. I just read the description. lol. Sold! You had me a wall jumping! aka Mega Man X

Will you be adding different types of bosses?
Hi, I can make rooms that contain some different bosses. Most of the graphics were downloaded from OGA and Itch.io (then edited and modified by me), I programmed everything, so I can be limited with what type of boss I can add, because I'm not very good at making characters sprites, but you can suggest some and give some details of what it does and I will make (Suggest video can also help).

The type I seem to have trouble with is boss AI. So maybe like a basic NES Mega Man boss?
Here's a video of the bosses from Mega Man 1:
Oh, okay, I can do that. I'll see what sprites I can use for that.
I will make the Carnivorous Plant and try to create a Lazer gun for obstacles.

Edit:
I already made the Enemy, I will show soon

Oh, Ok. I was thinking I didn't see a plant in the video.

By the way, how do I set a different sprite for the wall jump/wall slide?

This is something to be added in the next update, as well as the carnivorous plant and some more adjustments.

Sorry for the most likely idiotic question but having purchased this asset, how can I build the demo to check it works?

I bought the asset through the marketplace link, downloaded it and clicked "import".

On the "import resources" screen, I selected "add all", clicked on "import" and saved the project in the projects directory on my HDD.

Once the project imports, I tried running it with "F5". This fails with the following code error:

############################################################################################
FATAL ERROR in
action number 1
of Create Event
for object obj_game_init:

Variable obj_game_init.AG_Music(100008, -2147483648) not set before reading it.
at gml_Object_obj_game_init_Create_0 (line 42) - audio_group_load(AG_Music);
############################################################################################
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
stack frame is
gml_Object_obj_game_init_Create_0 (line 42)

The problem seems to be something to do with initialising the audio.

Can someone help me with this, please?

Never mind, I fixed the issue. The problem is that the project, when imported, doesn't setup the audio groups.

For any beginner who runs into a similar problem, here is the fix:

1) Navigate to the Tools, Audio Groups menu.

2) Click on "Add New". Name this new audio group "AG_Music". Add all the resources from the MUSIC folder to this group.

3) Click on "Add New". Name this new audio group "AG_SFX_. Add all the resources from the SFX folder to this group.

4) Build the demo. Enjoy! :)

Yeah, I didn’t know that it doesn’t export Audio Groups, good to know. I think this was a bug 🤔 , however good to know it worked! If you need more help I'm here.

--------------------------

And I'm still working on the project, I just can't set a date for upcoming updates.

Camera: Automatic area focus: (still working on it, have a bug about ID's)



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
edit:
Done:




(It is possible to place as many areas as you want in the room and just the player touch that the camera will focus on the area.)



This will serve to make the boss room.

@FoxyOfJungle - Not sure if I'll ever use use it in earnest, but it's so cool I had to grab it! :D

Only thing of concern when loading it up was that I got error messages - Not sure why iOS or Android gave errors about their respective options files (as I have these targets available for my license), unless you've simply just not included them?



Cheers!

Ps - Love the chipmusic track! :D

Hello, Japster

Although I know this type of error message, it is not something that will interfere with the project as a whole, maybe this was because the original project was made in Game Maker Studio 1.4 and I imported it directly into version 2.2.5. (All adjustments were made to work well in GMS 2, but the option files may have gone unnoticed). Another factor may be that when exporting .yyz, GMS 2 did not include options files.

I think one solution is to exchange the .yyz for a .zip and include the entire project in it 🤔

So don't worry that everything is fine with that. I believe that you should adjust these options manually (game title, description and more). :)
(Thanks :D)

Regards.

Hey there mate!
Found this engine on itch.io and will buy it really soon, just wanted to ask a few questions first.
Do you plan on adding new features? I've seen you are taking some requests, so I'm interested if you have some kind of road map or something.
If you are planning on adding things, any possibility to add some metroidvania features such as: hidden rooms (the ones you have to break a wall or go through a fake wall and the wall becomes almost transparent), some different 'powers' like grappling hook or freeze water to create a platform for example, a map of everything that has been explored and, finally, a cutscene maker?
Btw I'm not asking for you to do it, just asking if there's any chance of you doing it lol I've made some of these in the past, but my coding was a mess and it would be nice to have some of these things at the ready.
Anyway, gonna buy it either way, lots of cool stuff, very well done mate!
Cheers

Hello, @VictorSapateiro !

Yes, I plan to add more things to this engine over time, I can do a lot of things on it, but I also can't promise to do everything, as certain things are a lot of work to do, so if I can I will be showing it, but you can suggest any thing, so I’ll choose some to add.

Recently I am making some modifications related to the life system, now, the hearts will be lost when taking damage, if the hearts run out, then the level will restart, if there are no more lives, it will be Game Over. I am also adding an invulnerability system, that it does not take damage for a certain time if it touches an enemy for example. I decided to do it because when I fight a boss it will be very difficult to defeat him without having to die 1 time. Then I will make a boss progress bar. The new boss I am planning to make is a stone monster that does some interesting things, I will still think about.

I am trying to implement a laser system, with a button that enables or disables when stepping on top or placing a block on top of it.
I am in mind to add weapons to the character, this can be a little bit of work, I will not promise yet, but if it works and it is easy to handle, I will be showing it.
Thanks.

Regards.

Great work! I'm very impressed with this engine and I'm having lots of fun customising and twaking it to fit my needs.

When will the Yo Yo Marketplace version be updated with the new features and fixes that you have implemented?

Hi, @Patriarch !
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying the engine!

About the versions, whenever I update on itch.io, I update on the YoYo Games Marketplace. I am developing the new version yet, I am adding and correcting several things. I'm managing to make the skills system, the only real problem is that I don't know how to make sprites, so I will have to improvise in relation to the sprites lol.

Because before I make a boss, it's important for the player to be able to do different things, I think it's more fun.

Regards.

I agree. To be honest, I'm more interested in bug fixes, new player interactions, and camera enhancements than a boss example.
 
Hey there mate!
Just bought this project and was looking through some coding...
Since this is some kind of 'tutorial' project, maybe you should consider adding more comments explaining stuff
Also, I don't know if it's intended, but I died a couple times to the last frame of the explosion effect that is a bit hard to see...
And you forgot setting up a reverse wall at the last two mobs of the first room, so when you get there, they already have fallen to their deaths lol

The weapon system is already working, now I need to implement it in the project.
The sprite exchange system already works too as you can see (sound effects already works too):


(Testing)

The system supports two types of functionality:
180: The gun angle rotates only up to 180 degrees (horizontal, up and diagonal up)
360: The gun angle rotates up to 360 degrees
It is possible to change the speed of the bullet, number of shots and variation of distance.
(this system is designed to work with 8 directions, but can be easily modified if you don't design using a sprite for each direction)

It is possible to decide whether the horizontal direction (180 - 0) is reset if you do not press UP or Down as you can see in the gif.
The most annoying part is making the sprites now lol

The next skill I'm going to add now is Shurikens, they work similarly to boomerangs, but they take a while to come back. I'm thinking about the possibility of this skill pulling things (enemies? Items?) 🤔
 
Last edited:

Kazan Games
I would suggest:
Make the boomerang pull items and the shuriken go through enemies (so it can hit 2 enemies or more)
It is interesting, but the system works as follows: Each skill has its individual sprites, so if I create a skill, I need to create 10 more sprites for the player, for example, the Bomber, the player carries a backpack with bombs in back, the Shuriken, the player carries the shuriken in his hand. So if I make another skill I will have to create more sprites of the player with the boomerang in hand, so I prefer that whoever is buying, just modify it easily as you wish.

In short: For each skill, the player can change clothes or whatever he wants to do.

[DEVLOG] v1.1

GUNS !!!
The skill that makes the player shoot is now fully functional. The sprites still need to be designed (with a gun in the hand), but the system already points to the correct ones:


The bullets and effects are very fast in the GIF with few FPS, so it makes it a bit difficult to visualize, sorry.
There is still no collision between the bullet and enemies, I will put a resistance for each one of them, and they will blink when taking damage.
Many things have already been fixed and many will come around, stay tuned! 😉

[DEVLOG] v1.1

SHURIKENS!!!


Shurikens are part of the player's Skill System and can be easily modified, as you can see, the shuriken when it is thrown, leaves a white trail as a visual effect and on the back carries the item to the player or any object that has thrown the shuriken.

Any news on 1.1? I update this page everytime lol
Yes, it's basically almost done, I just need to draw some two skill sprites, but the system itself is already fully functional, as I'm bad at drawing, it may take a while, but here's a spoiler:


As you can see in the video, I made a Debug window to show which instances are visible because I also focused on optimizing the project. There are a lot of things fixed and added, so stay tuned!
The only thing that cannot be deactivated out of the view is the reverse object and the solid, as it can happen that when the enemy is reactivated if is activated first and therefore can get stuck in the other object. But that makes no noticeable difference.

I also want to include an Android .apk demo on the Itch.io page.
By the way, I don't have a certain date for when to launch, as there may be some more bugs by then.

Hi, first at all let me say that this is a awesome 2D engine.
I have a question, is the engine compatible with gamepad controllers? Is necessary change or put new code for that?

Hello, @Nuco.Ampuero !
Thanks. This is something to be added (I have this in mind to do), however, it is pre-configured for this and you can easily add this functionality, and the touchscreen for Mobile too. See:



Cheers!

Edit:

Version 1.1.1 Early Access is available on Itch.io until the stable version is not released, it may be that this version contains added things that have not yet been completed, check release notes.

The asset that is in the Yoyo Games Marketplace only contains stable versions.

Hey man, it's always a nice surprise checking this page and seeing an update!
I've been stuck between work and specialization studies, so have not had the time to check out the latestet updates, but will do so as soon as my days off arrives!
Anyway, keep up the awesome work mate, this is shaping up to be the best and most complete introduction to gamemaker platform games

Thank you very much for the words! When you have free time feel free to explore the new features, I am happy to know that you are enjoying it, I wish you the best of luck!
I am also having a lot of college work and other occupations, but I try to do everything at my pace. 😅

BRAVO!! Well done! I love when people take the time to make complete engines. I tend to buy most of them just to encourage the effort. And I will do the same with yours! :)

How about adding a "Dash"? A sudden fast movement for the player?

It's a future feature, it's already on my to-do list. ;) Right now I'm doing a new project, I can't give spoiler it yet, but I guarantee it will be very useful for everyone. :) (Is an utility software)


I only wish someone would do as thorough an engine for overhead / top-down games!
This is even a good idea for a new project. Who knows?

So I actually downloaded this project and errors abound and prevents me from using this. I am on the most recent version of GMS. It feels like a script was left out of the project. I contacted the creator..

DISREGARD ABOVE.

I reinstalled GMS2 and reimported the Foxey Platformer Engine and it worked as expected.

EXCELLENT WORK!!! I will gladly support you as you develop and expand this platform

Oh, that was a problem with GMS 2 while importing the project, it didn't import Audio Groups as expected, but this could be solved simply by creating the audio group manually and adding the sound effects and songs back.
Good thing you solved it! :)
 
I've just gotten time to start using this asset again, and was glad to see all of the new improvements!

But, if I may suggest a fix. Usually how people handle Game Objects Ex. (o_game, obj_game_controller, etc.) is that they create the object just 1 time at the start of the game in the Initialize and set the Game Object to persistent, so they don't have to add it to every single room. The Camera Object will still need to be added to each room though. But I see that the way you are doing it is, you're adding the "obj_game_controller" object to every room and not making it persistent.

The problem I'm having is, I'm trying to change it to where the "obj_game_controller" is created once, and is persistent, but, I've been having some errors.

Like:
  • The Signs will give a "variable not set before reading it" error
  • Sometimes while I'm throwing Bombs, the game just freezes and I have to stop the run process

Because the obj_game_controller cannot be persistent, reasons: Reset some necessary variables at each level and the Music Player. In addition to that it always loads some important things that must always be done at the beginning of the level.
The problem with the obj_sign is that it uses the obj_game_controller ds_list, so I put a warning in the "Readme": The obj_game_controller must be the first object to be created in the room.
GMS 2 has a bug with the instance order, which is as follows: Even if you change the creation order of the instances in the room, this does not work, so you should try to delete the layer from the obj_sign's and create another one, then add them when the obj_game_controller already exists in the room.
You can simply duplicate the engine's level 2, it is already configured, you only have to delete the tiles and the few objects you have, it is something to be corrected in a next update, but unfortunately I am limited to some Game Maker Studio 2 problems/bugs itself.

(fixed now).

Hey, you don't need to create the camera at every level, obj_game_controller already does that, basically it is the only object that needs to be placed in the room.

I will also add support for joypads/gamepads. (added now)


The Signs will give a "variable not set before reading it" error
On what occasion does this occur? What variable does it show in the error? (I fixed it now).


Sometimes while I'm throwing Bombs, the game just freezes and I have to stop the run process
This is an infinite while loop problem... It's been a while since I've tried a solution to fix this. :bash:
(SOLVED! everything will be released in the next update! 😁 )




Thanks!
