Just another quick update, show you what I've been up to since my last blog about my game. Since my last blog, I've made some major improvements.
Gonna get straight to the point:(Go to 0:41 for the new minigun)
Most of the changes aren't very noticeable in the trailer. I've been working out a lot of small details in the game. Added a new fog effect if you noticed that in the trailer, but there's much more to come in the following months. Which will include a new beta for the game.Some of the changes:Better designed mapsMore balanced gameplayHealth recharges fasterWeapon ImprovementsBetter explosionsMore interactive environmentsMore ammo for some weaponsSexy menues(which I unfortunately forgot to show in the video)Tweaked Trong gun, shotgun, minigun, and Alien Assaualt Rifle DamagePlayer is centered in the view nowAlien Assault Rifle has recoil depends on how fast you shootAK90 doesn't shoot when you hold the mouse button, instead you have to tap.Spawns are 100% perfectlights can can go out due to explosionsYou can now sprint with the minigunWhen you switch weapons with the minigun out, you put it down in order to do so.Grenades are actually useful and have much better physicsPower weapons take a full minute to respawn, while normal weapons take 30 secondsAI doesn't get stuck anymoreBillions of more improvements that I can't fit into this text box, and they aren't in the video.
(We need the
function back. :<)If you like to read a lot here's MORE changes that I've made to the game a month ago.There's actually much more things I've changed/improved in the game than that, but, it's mostly campaign stuff, but I'll save that for another day. It may or may not include mech suits :>Oh, and thanks to Moikle for the sexy explosions. They actually look much more incredible, in-game. This trailer makes them look different for some reason.
I don't know where the fuck Rambo is. I want better graphics now. :(Yeah, that's about it.
Here's a quick comparison pic between the old and new explosions:

oh wait, now i see, the fire is animating, but it didn't look like it in the video…
Yeah, I said in the blog that the vid makes the explosions look different, for some reason.
oh and thanks for the acknowledgement IN BOLD
ATTENTION EVERYONE, THIS IS A NOTICE REGARDING JID JID is a pretteh cool guy, eh makes games with cool lighting and doesn't afraid of anything :Dyes, he is teh vereh kool guyeh.
vereh vereh koolzerzok, here is what it is SUPPOSED to look like, right mouse button is what is shown in the trailer, and left mouse button is my old one, which has had some minor changes to create the explosion shown when you press the middle mouse button.
oh wait, that doesn't make much sense, just press the middle mouse button :)linky linkyYES, you've fixed the smoke particle effect. I want teh edituhble version nows.
no, sorry, i havent actually changed anything, but if you CAN see the smoke in that executable, then that means thet it IS because of something they changed in GM8. does anyone know what changes they have made to particles, or possibly the sprite_set_alpha_from_sprite function? to me it looks like they have made all particle types global, but i still don't see anything which would cause the smoke to be invisible…
I hate when GM just acts stupid for absolutely no reason.
this reminds me of the "Game maker has encountered an unexpected error" message, basically telling you that everything that you have been working on for weeks (or months) is broken and can not be salvaged
Hate that error. :'(
JID YOU HAD BETTER BE MAKING BACKUPS. D:<<<
