I thought I'd start an in-progress thread about a game I've been working on. Initially this just started as a 'get to know' GameMaker kind of project but I've really been enjoying working on it so I'm trying to build it into a full game.
This is a simple platformer where you're tasked with changing all of the tiles from one form into another by walking on them. Change all of the tiles and you'll advance to the next level. In the case of the seven levels I have completed you're changing dirt tiles into grass tiles as seen in the screenshots.
The trick is to figure out how to optimally complete each level in the least amount of time which will earn you more points. Each level will have its own high score. Right now the controls are very simple, arrow keys to move and space to jump.
For better or worse I've decided to build the entire game myself from coding to graphics to the music and sound effects. The graphics are simple and colorful, that's what I'm going with for the aesthetic since I am not good at drawing (but learning!). I draw everything on my Surface Pro 6 with the MS Pen.
The first screenshots I will share are of level 1, first the initial prototype then where the game currently stands today. I'll later share some more screenshots and maybe video of some of the more advanced mechanics of the later levels. The dogs in the new screenshot are still my original pixel art unanimated versions, I'll be creating animated hand drawn versions soon. I also hope to have a demo version out in the next few weeks for people to try.
