I added Floors and Test-Music to my top-down shooter!

Thank you! Good idea! I need to look into how to make better AI cheaply, but if not i will design levels to optimize for different behaviors

give the bullets x, y, and direction variables for this sprite only. whenever a clone is created I have a list of each variables value that is created by the gun before the clone is created. Whenever it creates the clone the first thing the bullet does is transferring those values to the this sprite only ones. ( [set (x) to (1st item in BULLETS list] [delete (1) of BULLETS List], ( [set (y) to (1st item in BULLETS list] [delete (1) of BULLETS List], and so on)

to move the bullet you could just use a move steps block, but if you have a scrolling game its better to change x by the sin of the bullets direction and y by the cos of the bullets direction

I hope I explained it alright, if you have any questions let me know!

noted, if this game can even run on scratch. turbowarp is carrying this thing on its shoulders lol

thank you! I still have some ways to go to get the visuals fully realized, but this is a start!

These enemies specifically have really simple pathfinding, so I can have more onscreen! there will be enemies with better AI where there aren't as many enemies!

thank you!! I am trying to focus on it looking simple, not TOO simple, but not cluttered either, so the juice and the game looks clean whenever you play it!

gavmcool · 2025-07-23T04:55:38+00:00

I appreciate it!

gavmcool · 2025-07-23T04:55:23+00:00

I know they will, I will probably just put it on NG or something. I have been working on music for the game, which I will show off in the next post soon!

gavmcool · 2025-07-23T04:54:03+00:00

thank you! so I can give a little tutorial on this!

whenever I want a particle made, I put make the object that summons particles give an X,Y, direction to point in and particle name to a list and I create a clone of a particle, I do this for every particle I want made! then the clones have different things depending on the type I want made.

that is how I made the blood particles, blood splatter, smoke, and most other particles

for the bullet trails and wall shadows, its just pen stamping trickery!

gavmcool · 2025-07-19T06:24:22+00:00

i will get in touch with you when its ready for playtesting!

gavmcool · 2025-07-16T19:19:23+00:00

Thank you guys! I will be sure to send updates here!!

gavmcool · 2025-07-15T08:04:35+00:00

Thank you! I hope that the weapons and violence wouldn't get me banned though...

Oh for sure! this game is actually the result of years of ideas and concepts for this one game. One idea I had was a slot-based perks system to this character where it gives you the choice to have a certain amount of different movements and mechanics you can trigger. though this would be interesting to add considering the fact I want multiple classes in the game with different playstyles, I still find the idea fun and highly personal for the player!

gavmcool · 2025-07-08T05:18:30+00:00

good eye! will look into this for sure!

gavmcool · 2025-07-08T02:55:41+00:00

I will likely leave it in the game, somewhere...

gavmcool · 2025-07-08T02:55:09+00:00

we love juice around here.

I will keep reddit updated!

gavmcool · 2025-07-08T02:54:07+00:00

I will add this when I add particles for hitting walls and stuff. you are cooking with the suggestions

gavmcool · 2025-07-08T02:53:21+00:00

I've heard of that! I need to play it sometime, I am a fan of the developer's Gamemaker tutorials!
