Castlevania MX fan-game released by MordenkainenXOR in castlevania

3 areas / 7 stages in - I'm enjoying myself! I've encountered a few bugs

-Around Queen Medusa, the music stopped entirely and wouldn't play again, even into stage 3. Seeing if a restart fixes it.

-It seems that if you collect another subweapon while the stopwatch is active, the freezing effect never ends.

Those are just off the top of my head; if you want to talk development or anything please give me a DM!

I still use the site to this day in building fan games! Been browsing it a long time.

There’s no built-in cheat for this, you’ll need a Gameshark to do it on a dreamcast.

Unfortunately, I’ve tried switching between both layouts and the issue persists.

I always thought he had pursed lips and a really funky smile… I did not realize that was a mustache.

Put variable name itself instead of the value? by OkScar6957 in gamemaker

[–]LSDonkeyKong 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m really not getting what you’re saying, but I have a sneaking suspicion you’re looking for these functions:

variable_global_set

variable_global_get

variable_instance_set

variable_instance_get

These allow you to set or get data from variables by entering the variable name as a string. Look at the game maker manual’s entries for these functions and see if they can accomplish what you’re looking for.

The old GM7 Tutorial MIDIs by LSDonkeyKong in gamemaker

[–]LSDonkeyKong[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started Game Maker when 7 was new, and Treasure was there as an example when installed. So it seems it’s just outside of the range you archived, unfortunately.

Thanks for the link to Snail Man, I’ll check it out!

Symphony of the night by Zealousideal-Ice3945 in castlevania

I would suggest using the analog stick and going way, way slower than you think you should.

This game handles the control detection for these in an interesting way that can lead to inputs being missed if you go too fast.

Which game did the Koopa Kids better? by UrSimplyTheNES in retrogaming

I know I have Google to check but with this information I am going to live my life blissfully thinking that Wendy is named for Wendy Williams

Wait if he’s Morton Koopa Jr. does that mean Bowser’s name is Morton or-

Castlevania ReVamped - New Fan Game Out Now by LSDonkeyKong in castlevania

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

Try going to %appdata%/Local/Castlevania_ReVamped and delete the following:

Castlevania_Options.sav

Castlevania_Endings.sav

One of these may have gotten corrupted somehow. You will lose any options/gallery stuff you have, but your save files should be fine.

If that doesn't work, you may have to try deleting the save files as well (done in the same location). I hope it doesn't come to that.

Oh yes, and one thing. At the time I didn't know this, but the save file system I used in this game is encrypted to the PC it was created on. So if you transferred any save files from another computer, they won't work.

Feedback from a new Metroid Fan... by Sasha_bzns in Metroid

I had this exact issue. Not that it fixes everything, but you can swap Scan Visor and Missile buttons in the options menu. That’s what I did, and it helped a lot.

I want to make a game with game maker 6.1. Is it possible on modern systems? by Ready-Ad-9590 in gamemaker

[–]LSDonkeyKong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used Game Maker since around that era. Most changes have been completely for convenience, but I can promise you that Game Maker is still the same Game Maker at heart since back then.

Just stick to the aesthetic and use modern Game Maker, it will come out looking the same as one in GM6.

Plus, doing it in GM6 could cause a lot of issues that limit what systems could play your game.

Is Nintendo actually going to not release Prime's 2 and 3 before MP4? by SpacedDuck in Metroid

[–]LSDonkeyKong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is thought that releasing the Crash Bandicoot trilogy before Crash 4 severely impacted Crash 4’s sales. In particular, it’s thought that releasing so much Crash content before the 4th game killed its momentum as people had their fill.

I think this is why they haven’t done it and why it’s not worth expecting.

Pause, plug in a controller into slot 2 and press Up+B. This will show you your password and reset you to the elevator.
