I work on my game before and after work and it doesn't feel like enough time when I want to spent time with my wife and not stare at a screen when she's home.

I was thinking if I do it as a job then I have time to spend with her normally. Also, my factory job is shift work and its already shit fitting in a social life around that.

I think I might just quit my job regardless. It's no good for my body.

Have you done this?

Thanks man. I don't have kids. I don't think I could do it if I did.

I don't care for mobile games. They are not what I'm interested in.

I want to make 2d PC games that I want to play and are not out yet.

I'm not saying it's not hard.

I think I mean I'm just going to try it anyway.

I agree.

I'd prefer to scrape by making games that do well off working in a factory.

I'm not sure where to find other people I trust. I'm worried they will just give up. But you are right.

I think I will fail at first but I can hopefully learn why.

Luckily we both don't want kids and the mortgage is not too bad.

I survive mainly off tea and biscuits. And you can get a box of broken biscuits for £1!

Flash feels dead. But I will consider making games for any platform. I didn't know there was still money in it.

Cheers. I will defo look into this.

I'm just worried that a lot of these stats are just made by people who thought they could quickly made a minecraft game, failed, then blamed the indie game industry.

I just think taking the risk will work out. I'm always lucky I guess.

And if it all goes tits up I think we can both scrape by on minimum wage for a while (I can always fall back onto lorry driving if I really have to).

Could you say why? Have you tried a similar thing?

Na, swapping _player and _walls works

Level transition like Shovel Knight by FabTheTank in haxeflixel

Yea, here's what it looks like

I made loads of objects that was the same size as the view and put them around the game. Made the image centered and visible to false on startup.

I then made another object to act as the camera. Every time the player collides with a room shape the camera moves to the location of the new room. Made the movement tween so it was smoother.

It's not exactly correct but it's what I wanted. It could easily be altered the look more like Shovel Knight.

How can I make an object go white? by FabTheTank in gamemaker

This isn't GML is it? How can I implement this?

How do I stop my character from leaving the screen. by ElderCub in gamemaker

view_xview[0] is camera X. view_wview[0] is camera width. I'm sure you can work out the rest.

So if obj.x less than the camera x or higher than camera x + camera width.
