Day 22: 2025/07/30 - 6.5h

Now begins Sprint 2: Audio System!

To get oriented, I added footsteps, environmental SFX emitters, and temporary music controls to experiment with effects and switching between @queergermangirl.bsky.social's tracks. ๐Ÿ”Š๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ’œ

I didn't do any #gamedev for some time... okay, well, I struggled with a FSM powered platformer engine and that frustrated the hell out of me... so for now I am adding assets and create maps. Really like the trees and bush #gamemaker #slimeonline #pixelart

Hello, Caitlin here, Sandyโ€™s wife. With a few of his good friends - Michel, Jesse, Spencer, Mike, Russel, Stuart, we have put together Sandyโ€™s last message as he would have liked to send it to you all...

It's with a very heavy heart that we share the news of YoYo Games founder and original CEO, Sandy Duncan's passing. GameMaker would not be where it is today without Sandy and our hearts are with his family at this very difficult time. Rest in peace.

Ok, no secret passages yet (not sure if I can do it or not without a huge amount of work) but Waterfalls can contain secret items!

Be careful though...they can be lost back to the water!

It's early Screenshot Saturday for me so I think its a perfect time to share some of our #gamedev journey getting Speck working... so far.

This will be a bit of a quote-chain that I add to over time.
Got quite a few old videos showing the process.

See bellow quoted post for where we're at now:

With the first pass of bouncing working, it was back to core mechanics; improving stability of fast movement around corners, which was hard as Speck REALLY wanted to go through the ground ๐Ÿ˜…

And also getting momentum building up walls working ๐Ÿ˜Ž

New #gamemaker script on my Helpful Scripts github.
~~~gui_get_maximized_bounds~~~
Your game have a static aspect ratio? But you want to draw stuff ON the black bars? This will give you the bounds of the gui event INCLUDING the black bars without having to use display_set_gui_maximize()
