I've said it multiple times before, but even at full retail price this game is a STEAL. This is easily a 29.99 game quality, content, and length wise. I have to assume the only reason it's 14.99 is because it gets compared to Stardew which has always been inexpensive. Fantastic game

In my latest #gamemaker video I won't shut up about how cool animation curves are. Here's something cool you can do with them: localized floating bug motion (fireflies, butterflies, etc) Check out the code in the reply post!

Just did my "table read" of the Doors and Transitions Part 3 tutorial script. I expect the video to be 45-50 minutes long! But check out all the cool stuff we are going to build! Fades, Swipes, Spotlights, and Teleports! #gamemaker #gamedev #tutorial #indiedev

This is so great. I had no idea you could add extensions for Steam.

Hey everyone, I made a small tutorial video for my friends on how to install the AI Disclosure Warning and SteamDB extensions directly in the Steam APP on Windows. That way, you get those QoLs directly in Steam! Enjoy and pass it along! 💜 www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-qQ...

Ever have a sound effect play "too often"? And they layer on top of each other and get really loud or really noisy? Wouldn't it be cool if you could limit how often a sound could play? That's what audio_play_sound_spaced does! Check the example below (Headphones on. Un-spaced First, Spaced Second)

This game was so much fun! I snagged it from Netflix back when it was brand new, and played the crap out of it. Definitely one of those very rare, actually good mobile games.

Just need to vent about how frustrating it is to search for #gamedev articles about "Computer Controlled __AI__" these days. Want to learn how Starcraft units moved around? How Diablo monsters hunt the player? Too bad, here's 30 sites that want you to use Claude to generate a strategy game.

And here's what using an anchor looks like. I'm just passing in "id" but you can also pass in a struct with all your typical draw_sprite_ext arguments. It will return a struct with all the relevant positions already mapped to the scale and rotation of the given sprite. (3/4)

Adding anchor points to a sprite is one of the oldest requested feature for GameMaker. Until we get it, you can use my system. I'd like to eventually release a tutorial for how to use it, for now hit me up on Discord if you need some help getting it set up. (4/4) github.com/PixelatedPop...

Here's a bit of what the setup looks like. You add tracks for each anchor and add your origin sprite of choice to that track, position-rotate-scale as desired. There's a bit of "layering" as well so you can have anchor points intended to be in front or behind the target sprite (ex: blade tips) (2/4)

Picked up Vampire Crawlers and I'm really enjoying it so far. I believe I've figured out my opinion on Deck Builders in general: My enjoyment of a deck builder is inversely proportional to how much text is on the average card.
