Ultra Early Exclusive Game Preview!!
Added 2024-12-22 08:03:18 +0000 UTCThought I was gonna keep this under wraps a fair bit longer but I've got something decently interesting to show for the next game I'm working on and I'm feeling the Christmas Spirit so what the hell, have a looksee!
I've put together a new(ish) dialogue system that works in a sort of "comicky" format, which allows me to tell key portions of the story in a way that for me is natural, loose and fun, and most importantly doesn't take absurdly long to make.
Big gigantic shoutout to Juju Adams' Scribble extension, which makes Game Maker's barebones text renderer so much better to work in.
There's a lot of I'm still figuring out about the game right now so I want to avoid oversharing, but as you can tell from the video it's:
1) Going to feature Bellagarth
2) Going to be a platformer of some kind
(Bear in mind that I'm still dead set on the game being relatively easy to play, so it's not going to be a precision platformer or anything like that)
Very excited to show more of what I have in mind for the game, but for now I will return to my Gamer Forge to craft the Sextroidvaniest game of all fucking time...

2024-12-22 15:26:59 +0000 UTCI woke up at like one in the morning and watched this before falling back asleep. I thought the gameplay segment was part of a fever dream I was having.

2024-12-22 08:19:19 +0000 UTCDigging the way the dialogue box’s look with character next to them. Nailed that retro game feel. But you gotta put a warning for those last 10 seconds. That was just E.T. Game flashbacks lol
