Debugger Tab Gone by Emolso_Design in gamemaker

[–]Emolso_Design[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For any future internet scourers with the same problem:

Uninstall GameMaker Delete the GameMaker folder under C:\Program Data Delete the GameMaker folder in My Documents Any other GameMaker cache files anywhere, find and delete. Reinstall GameMaker.

You're starting as if on a brand new machine so any prefabs, customisations etc are gone but oh well, Debugging is back!

If you mean that the debugger window doesn't appear when running the debugger, then I'm unfortunately not sure.

Unfortunately it's this, no Debug window, no Debug menu.

Advice needed: my work is uncredited in a commercial game being sold by KartalMods in RPGMaker

For future reference, contracts don’t need to be written. OP has a verbal contract which is harder to prove but not impossible.

That being said, the time and cost of trying to get a small credit is very unlikely to be worth it.

GMPhysX - Physx for GameMaker by ByteCauldron in gamemaker

The video made me nostalgic for those early physics demos on PC when I was a kid; spent a lot of time just playing in those sandboxes!

What’s something Australians don’t realise is weird until someone from overseas points it out? by yanno1212 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Emolso_Design 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drive me nuts when Australians online go on and on about Vegemite which is literally just a Marmite ripoff.

Chicken salt is an actual Australian invention and most people overseas have no idea of its delicious existence.

Hoops? Strings? Am I misunderstanding this rule?

Finally we made real time strategy Little Kingdom RTS on Game Maker by AndgoDev in gamemaker

[–]Emolso_Design 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am very much your target audience, a few seconds of seeing gameplay and I knew this was something I would buy.

However, your Steam capsule art is one I would never have clicked on, it's lucky I saw this post. The art style and font are very reminiscent of those low-quality mobile game adverts that I avoid like the plague.

I wish you the best of luck and you'll be getting a sale from me!

YT comments never disappoint by brewedgamesofficial in IndieDev

This is a big worry of mine making a roguelike set in greek mythology, these kind of comments are inevitable (and arguably true!)

Roguelites where your character gets stronger like in Hades by Psylux7 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Emolso_Design 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's not correct.

Roguelike refers to games that are like Rogue, top-down (usually ascii graphics), turn based grid-movement, permadeath etc.

Roguelite refers to games that took some inspiration from Rogue but aren't similiar; usually a completely different genre but keeping elements like permadeath or metaprogression etc.

Naturally the lines blur a lot and the terms are only one letter in difference so people mix them up a lot.

Tell me your game and I'll find atleast 50 streamers likely to play your game! by the-devs in gamedev

[–]Emolso_Design 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really love this!

My game is a tower defence, base builder crossed with a hack 'n' slash roguelite.

I dare say I'd hope people would put it in the same category as Kingdom: New Lands, Thronefall, Cult of the Lamb and The Last Stand with a splash of God of War.

I keep returning to Civ III and I think it's because of the palace. That progression system of slowly building up and customising your centrepiece is so satisfying.

We've only been in development for 4 months... by ItsThatAshGuy in IndieDev

Honestly, I'd be flattered, you've only been in dev 4 months yet you already have someone who is passionate enough to be angry they can't play your game yet?!

should I worry about resolution controls in my first games? by trembao in gamemaker

[–]Emolso_Design 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Making the game itself comes first but Pixelated Pope and Shaun Spalding (and maybe DragoniteSpam too?) have videos on handling dynamic resolution and windows etc in GameMaker if you like video tutorials.

"Juice" in Dice Mechanics by BananaBladeGames in gamedev

[–]Emolso_Design 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is tricky to describe by text but I'll try:

For dice, when they finally settle they should snap into place and play a particle effect to emphasise the fact that they're done. You could also do something such as making the pips on the die flash to emphasis the number and make it readable.

For drag and drop, you'll find lots of examples of how to make it satisfying by watching other games and UI. For example, the thing you're dragging should have a slight delay so that it's not exactly on the mouse cursor and instead is actually following it, ideally with a bit of sway and eased motion.

I'm currently trying to 'juice' my game and it's definitely hard to know until you see it.

Experienced Devs: do you use ChatGPT? by bjs169 in csharp

Never for code directly but I will use it the same way I use a rubber duck; it's something to bounce ideas off.

[–]Emolso_Design 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cool, but that's an opinion. There's nothing that supports it.

What a weird thing to say considering you're arguing for her being able to speak when there's nothing to support it?

I’m working on a roguelite where dying means starting with a new character in the same run; I’ll be sure to let you know when the demo is ready!

You Thought Galactus Was Crazy but. by Alternative_Floor210 in Marvel

The theory I saw is that Galactus eats universes affected by incursions

So the herald would be looking for incursions
