Today's game dev quest: Adding unique flavor text if a party member likes/dislikes an item! Liking an item: ~25% EXTRA healing Disliking an item: ~20% LESS healing Keep their tastes in mind when gathering items to REALLY excel in battle! (WIP GUI) #indiegame #gamedev

Just picked up some kind of "Rune of Virtue." Here's a look at the new chapter complete theme! #indiegame #gamedev #music #flstudio

An SNES puzzle game style track for my #indiegame Fruity Delay Bank is perfect for emulating the SNES's echo/reverb. #gamedev #music #flstudio

Angels & Demons feels like a real game now. Not just some side project. I was watching a recording of a new cutscene and just... got immersed as if I was watching a play through of a finished game! Here's a (cropped) screenshot of the cutscene in question. #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

Addition to this #GameMaker tip: Unless you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO use a ds_map, consider using a STRUCT instead! Don't be like me and jump in to the only solution you know. Research and see if there is a faster or more efficient way! (Check the quote replies for insight!) #gamedev #indiegame

If you plan on having localizations, build the systems early! In my #GameMaker #indiegame I use a ds_map to hold all of the text strings for the Angels & Demons. Here I have a function that returns a key-value. If running in VM mode, there's safety checks for mismatched keys! #gamedev

The movement in Angels & Demons is probably one of the most fine-tuned things in the entire game. If you want to go fast, you absolutely can. #GameMaker #indiegame #gamedev

Did you know that variables can hold references to functions in #GameMaker ? These are called Method Variables. Method Variables can store a custom local function, and already existing function, or a built-in function. Further reading below! #gamedev #indiegame

#GameMaker optimization: gml_release_mode() Enabling this will increase performance by disabling various error checks, like reading outside of a data structure. You should only use this AT OR NEAR RELEASE! Debugging becomes much harder with this enabled! #gamedev #indiegame

#GameMaker pro tip: gml_pragma("forceinline") Add this to frequently used functions, and it will ask the YYC to compile the function inlined instead of referenced. A free processing speed boost, at the cost of extra compile time and file size. #gamedev #indiegame

#GameMaker thing I wish I knew sooner. Values in show_debug_message() are ROUNDED to the hundredths place in the output. Use string_format() to increase the amount of precision you can see! (Example: displaying a song's current position) #gamedev

New video! My discord suggested THEIR ideas for my game, so I decided to implement them! Surely that went well... Right...? #gamedev #indiegame youtu.be/XhPjE5czXEs

Progress update: Make a joyful noise with Yui to break through evil spells! Rhythm mini-game is now Rhythm GAME. As in, it's a real part of the main gameplay loop. Each chapter will have a few of these sections, each with unique tunes! #indiegame #gamedev

~ #SAGE2024 Reviews ~ #16: Angels and Demons @journoid.net Your game was surprising for me with its themes, but that isn't saying I didn't enjoy it! The battles were fun and I loved the speed I was able to reach! Keep up the great work! i love yui btw she's very coolswag

The Hardest Challenge in my #indiegame 4,500 HP, 14 Attacks to avoid, mere frames to do so... 🔽🔽🔽

New beat-drop animations for Kaguya! One for high HP and one for low HP. Can you spot all the differences between them? Tried to mimic real screen errors for Kaguya's face in the weak animation, incredibly happy with how it turned out! #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #ドット絵
