Weird question but what did you use to make the visuals for your game? I would assume that the character animations were made in adobe animate (as that's the only form of vector graphics GMS2 supports in sprites besides Spine), but if you wouldn't mind I'd like to know just a bit more about your method (especially in regards to environments), speaking as a fellow GMS user who wants to avoid ye olde pixel graphics artstyle.


Obviously you don't have to answer if it would be too revealing in regards to your work methods.

Hi there! There's no reason I wouldn't reveal how I work ^^! Actually everything is hand-drawn frame by frame and I use Clip Studio Paint Pro EX. I export the animations as PNG files directly in Game Maker Studio 2. Same goes for the backgrounds. Hope you find this useful for your next project!

Wait, if that's the case then how did you manage to keep the image from being butchered in windowed mode, when it's in lower resolution? Obviously the character sprite is lower res and you can see the pixels but like, damn, that's a smooth transition for a bitmap!

Well, you can thank Pixelated Pope for the amazing tutorial he did about keeping aspect ratio and cameras! I made my own camera based on these tutorials:
