Okay, there’s now a sample project in the downloads section, see what you think. I should probably include them for the other lighting assets at some point as well…

I’ll throw together a smaller demo with free assets later today or tomorrow. Guess I might as well also email synty and ask them if I can distribute the demo files since it’s just a dozen or so files in there or so…

I didn’t include the demo files in the yymp since most of the 3D assets are from synty and not really supposed to be distributed outside of finished games. Is there something you need to look at?

Lol, thanks. At some point I wanna remake it, there are a few problems that are hard to fix because of the way it was originally made. We’ll see when I have time.

That’s weird, I thought I fixed that already. Anyway I uploaded a version with the fix, let me know if it works.

Scissor regions (added in 2024.8) would probably be the best option, I want to use those for a bunch of clipping-related things in here at some point but I haven’t had the time yet…

Hmm, that’s probably a useful idea. I’ll get around to adding something like that to the project hopefully soon.

thanks!

SpeedTree but for 2D

I’m going to save this in case I need it someday. Some thoughts:

• It’s a little hard to grab the slider drag handles. The hitboxes should probably be a few pixels wider than the actual images
• A little crosshair on the color wheels where the currently selected color lives would be helpful
• Having some kind of presets list for different tree types (oak trees, palm trees, spruce trees, dead trees…) would be handy
• Being able to have control over small details in trees (flowers, fruit, vines) would also be handy
• If you ever wanted to make a runtime version of this, it would probably have some pretty interesting uses in procedural generation

I’ve had this thing for an hour and so far annoyed several of my friends by sending them clips of me bopping their Discord pictures in the face.

Any chance of adding a setting for having the arm come out of the top/left/right of the screen?

Okay sorry for the delay, try replacing the Drago3D_Internals file with this: https://gist.github.com/DragoniteSpam/2839c0d97596f3d36066aa6635a9e609

I’ll make a “proper” LTS release after dinner.

Hmm, something probably changed in the way statics are initialized since LTS came out. I’ll look at it in a little while

Can’t replicate it. What version of GameMaker are you using?

The useless ones are usually the ones that are the most fun to make

use matrices to transform models

I was wondering if this was ever going to come back a few weeks ago. This ought to be fun.

Interesting, I’m surprised I didn’t do that originally. I’ve posted a fixed version.

Like I said, i built in a delay between rounds that should wait out the time it takes for the sliding window to catch up.

That said, I checked the HTML5 source and it apparently takes two seconds for the fps value to refresh and I only accounted for one, so I edited it again.

That would be a way to deal with the problem from the opposite end, but if this solution works I’ll leave it alone.

Updated it so that rerunning or cancelling the benchmark doesn’t break or mess up the results.

I’m not sure if this is the problem but GameMaker averages the number over the last second or two so, so if the simpler tests are too fast it’ll churn through it before the figure has time to correct itself after the lag of spawning all of the geometry. I added a five-second delay before the start of the first test which will hopefully be enough to get past that.

Maybe that’s a sign that it’s time for me to clean up the Settings menu, I think that one was added for a really old version before I added code to load materials separately…

Should be able to. Do you have “show vertex colors” in Viewer Settings turned off, by any chance?

So I tested a bunch of different models and couldn’t replicate the issue. You’re using a relatively recent version of the program (last updated about a month ago) and the material files are named correctly, right?

I’ll look at it in a little bit, I have a feeling I know why it would have lost the texture images but just in case which model(s) specifically was it?

Variables accessed with the dot operator have their hashes evaluated at compile time, but those accessed with the struct accessor have to have them evaluated at runtime

These are really nice. Are you planning on making any more?

yeah i use that for pretty much everything lol

I’ve been asking them for ages to have it allocate memory in chunks the same way ds_list_add does, but it hasn’t happened yet

Very in-depth, thanks.

1. There isn’t a water limit anywhere, although it probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to have one. Is there text in the game anywhere that said there is?

2. Not a bad idea, I’ll look at adding that for the next one

3. Lol, whoops

4. I thought about allowing people to click on a calendar date and “skip to this day,” but I don’t want people to accidentally skip too far ahead and cause plant values to drop farther than they wanted - but if enough people bring it up I’ll see about ways to speed it up. I might reduce the amount of time you have to wait for plants to grow, at least for the early-game ones.

5. I’ve seen a few people complain about this, it’s never happened to me but I’ll see if I can find out where it’s coming from.

6. I can’t get that to happen - but I think I know why it might be, so I’ll try to throw in a simple fix for that next time

7. Yeah I’ll implement that eventually, I wanted to have the entire save/load system and all of that stuff in place for demo day but there wasn’t enough time

Feels like it could be a mechanic in a larger game, but right now there isn’t much to it. In the beginning of the game you can just activate and deactivate the shield as needed, but by Level 3 or 4 it becomes more worth it to just keep the shield up at all times, because the meter doesn’t deplete very fast and there’s so little time in between meteors.

Very polished! I like the humor, the mom character reminds me of Morticia Addams. The pixel art character animations in the pizzeria are very cute.

I can’t think of anything that I’d say should be improved gameplay-wise, unfortunately I didn’t get to play very much of it because I’m bad at this kind of game.

Monsters are very cute!

The control system is a little odd, I’m not sure what the logic of using arrow keys for movement, D for jump, A and S for skills, and 3 for bombs is.

Controls don’t feel very responsible, as if there’s a sizeable delay when you hit an input and when something happens - I’m not sure if this is just an animation thing, or if this is intentional.

I like the basic idea, the game doesn’t explain itself too well though. I was able to figure out what I had to do after messing around for a few minutes, but a tutorial or hint system would be appreciated for strategy-heavy games such as this.

I also seemed to get stuck in the menu that you get clicking on the icon in the bottom-left of the screen, there doesn’t seem to be a way to exit it.

Feels like a good start!

Game crashed when clicking on the Environment setting (though I can’t reproduce it, not sure what happened):

Unable to find any instance for object index ‘19’ name ‘o_map’ at gml_Object_o_GUI_Step_0 ############################################################################################ gml_Object_o_GUI_Step_0 (line -1)

Much juice.

Going to second the comments about it being a little unclear what you have to do, especially with all of the hundreds of bullets flying everything a little while into the game. A little bit of juice and rainbow and everything is good for giving the game character, but I think it’s a little distracting in this case.

I’ve never seen it bug out like that before, would you be able to record a video of it or something like that?

Anyway, thanks! The UI is definitely still a work in progress, though. Still deciding what the best way to organize a lot of the information is.

Okay, it seems that it did get submitted after all. I must have refreshed the page without realizing it was already in or something. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

That’s awkward.

Not sure if you can use your administrative god powers to correct that or not; I meant to submit this instead of one of my old dev tools: https://dragonite.itch.io/houseplant-quest

doom but with snowmen

Now there’s an idea for the next 3D jam…

thank!
