Clicky For the Thinky

Still have to update it further, since there's a lot I haven't covered, but that should help a lot. Experience Loops are very important to learn.

I'll hopefully have a big update with how to do a High Vision document (which covers a Beat Sheet, Interface, Style etc) and how to think up and prototype new mechanics soon.

Which way do you guys animate sprites in gamemaker?

Which way do you guys animate sprites in gamemaker?

for a sidescroller I would animate it to the right first

for a top-down I would animate the down direction first

[Plastiware]

for a sidescroller I would animate it to the right first

for a top-down I would animate the down direction first

Thirdly, if it's direct top-down, as in the camera is so directly overhead so the sprites just rotate for different angles, facing right works best.  This way the image_angle variable translates directly to the direction the character's facing.

This was probably a really unnecessary point to add but what the hell.

Wow, uh...the box thing was just a test, I just posted it because of it's neat unintentional flippy spinny thing. It's a placeholder for this character:



Also, difference in FPS == difference in computer that was used to record, lol.
