Screenshot of GameMaker's room editor. There is a diagram style view of a simple dungeon maze. 

Six icons of mushrooms are on the map. 
One has the instance view open, the object is called obj_spawn_shroom_razor.
The variable sub tab for the instance is open. 
A variable called spawn_object is set to "obj_m_shroom_razor_pink"
A variable called spawn_object_fallback is set with a custom value "obj_m_shroom_razor_mock_pink"

Another instance called obj_level_control is open, in it's variables sub window a variable called spawn_limit_struct is set to a custom value, a simple struct "{obj_m_shroom_razor_pink:2}"

Didn't manage to have a #GoblinGirlGame screenshot Saturday ready this week. But just made a big improvement to my object spawning system. Can now easily do stuff like spawn a bunch of mushrooms in specific locations and have 2 of them randomly be monster mushrooms.

Everything can be set up for stuff like this in the room editor without needing to write any custom code. I really want to avoid having to write a custom level editor and have had a surprising amount of luck figuring out tricks to leverage GameMaker's built in editor to act a lot like one.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: An unforgettable adventure Imagine a world where the air alone is poisonous enough to quickly kill any human walking through it without protection, monsters build grand arenas for their own amusement, and the remaining survi…

A dark fantasy where hope is something to be collected, drop by precious drop, and memories have real power... wrapped up in a superficially sweet adventure full of fluffy moogles:

Adding mechanic where the player is blinded for a full minute if their character is facing an explosion when it goes off. Purely for realism. Cool Guys Don't Look At Explosions aspect is entirely emergent and unintended.

GMLive has saved me tens of thousands of hours of recompiling and has helped me dial in so many small tweaks to make things feel just right.

It's worth every penny and many more.

BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.

Thanks! Sadly it's just this unfinished mockup. I was in the middle of porting hell a the time so I don't think I even wrote down any notes on the design, what I wanted to change / improve over the original Cave Noire.

16 bit style pixel art. Kinda water color on parchment treatment.
A large portrait of a bunny knight is in the top left corner. Under her are a bunch of stats. and a command menu. In the center is a gameplay screen of a dungeon with various enemies and hazards. On the right is a map. Quest progress scroll and inventory in a cute bunny themed backpack.

Just remembered I'd started pixeling a mocking up for a Cave Noire-like a few years back. Some of the ideas I had for this are ending up in #goblingirlgame now.

Also I guess I've been itching to create a micro dungeon game of some sort for over half a decade now?😬

The dawning horror that this probably would have been a much more manageably scoped project. Too late now!

Forgot this site tries to make any gif into a video even if it isn't an animation. Deleting and reposting that last post

Yeah, you do unlock better stats, but always connected to harder challenges. So there is no way to "grind to win" which is great!

I wrote a long design thread about the game on Twitter, I wonder if I should go through and repost it here at some point.

Went through a period of absolute obsession with that game, it's so ahead of its time designwise.

The constant ticking timebomb is that you are replaceable and people who are not creative and have no respect for the work decide who gets replaced.

I am so sorry for my friends enduring this, those being laid off and the rest who will now be expected to work even harder to fill the gap.
