Took me a few tries to get the hang of it... but yeah, this is a great twist on Minesweeper! Definitely give it a shot

Yeah, it's really interesting. I just read this book like 2 weeks ago, and I love the idea that the mage isn't necessarily in control, and that they are just a tool that "the magic" works through.

Awesome and well deserved!

“Split Screen in 15 Mins” on the left over a dark, blurred GML code background, with the GameMaker logo in the top-left corner. On the right, a diagonal split illustrates two side-by-side game views from the game DYO: cartoon bull characters in white cloths standing on gray platform blocks, separated by a dashed vertical line indicating the split-screen effect.

Josia Roncancio, the developer of DYO, walks through the process of setting up a local co-op dynamic camera in GameMaker!

I don't even like playing City builder / sims of any kind, but as a game developer who is a bad game designer, they are so tempting. No level design, no enemy AI design. Just really complicated systems and UI. I can do systems and UI

Happy to hear it. Be proud you got something out there. It's a far bigger accomplishment than people give credit for.

I think I've just realized I'm more of an "educator/general problem solver" than an actual "Game Developer/Designer" Ultimately I enjoy what I do with GM and try not to pressure myself into thinking "I must do something with all of this time I've invested into the engine."
I'm happy helping others.

If it makes you feel any better I'm still at 0.

Eyyy
This kinda hurt my eyes.
I feel like this has more to do with hardware than your actual eyes... but it was interesting.

✨ 4th Major Update – Feb 23rd
By popular request, auto-feeders are coming to Mistria!
Unlock them at Ranching Level 45 and place them in Large Barns and Coops to keep troughs filled automatically each morning. 🌾

I totally agree! Very excited for your game!

That's awesome, but I think I can answer that question.

Adding variety of combat an encounter types with mostly melee enemies is really difficult. Projectiles give you so many options for creating different scenarios and gives you lots of potential tools for players to solve those challenges.

final boss - a bit of a ganondorf OOT reference in there of course :)

I may have overcooked for this #GameMaker transition system... it feels like the tutorial video is gonna be like 3 hours longs. Maybe another Beginner -> Expert series incoming?
