This basic video tutorial shows you how to make a fog of war with a surface in GameMaker Studio. How does this one work? The idea is to create a surface and then poke holes in it. You may have seen almost the same in a light tutorial for gameMaker and it is very similar. But here we have to make the surface once black and only the negative poking will reveal unseen areas. Because fog of war has different interpretations I show you the the reveal once and for ever method aswell as a rudimentary one where unvisited areas become covered again. ▶ Gamemaker Studio: https://www.yoyogames.com/get ▶ Trial limitations: https://help.yoyogames.com/hc/en-us/articles/230407528-GameMaker-Studio-2-Trial-Limitations ♥ My free game Clunky souls: https://1up-indie2.itch.io/clunky-souls ♥ My assets: Get some assets at itch.io https://1up-indie2.itch.io/ ♥ Support me and get fresh game art and game maker projects every month: https://www.patreon.com/1upindie Follow me on: https://www.instagram.com/1upindie https://twitter.com/1upIndie https://discord.gg/gvr98nb ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXJgt0lmCqM

This video tutorial shows you a very neat way how to make an action screen with particles in gamemaker studio. Technically you would call this vfx (visual effects) but action screen has more punch in the wording. Where have you seen such a thing before? In good old mangas or animes where you have an action sequence or in video games where something is shown in a flashy way. Here I will guide you very fast how to recreate such a cool effect with only a few steps.

This basics video tutorial shows you how to search/query for your asset, code or references in GameMaker. Image coming back to an project that you haven't touched for months and you want to find asset and specifc code pieces. Here you can use multiple ways to get to find your assets on the right side or the variables, sprites, instances being referenced/used on the left side. The assets on the left side you can search with the search bar by name and by type or you can check out the most recend used assets to instantly jump to those. The reference/use of variables, sprites, instances in code on the left side is restricted to asset types with code that you can search through. The easiest is to go into the event/script/shader and press control and F, where you can search and replace that search/query of the word. If you want to enlarge your scope you can also press control and shift and F to search all assets (or the selected types) and jump to those. Here you will have a popup of the search console giving you a list to get more informations. Or you can press F3 on the word in code and it will jump to where it is being used. Tldr: seach and find, control + shift + F, jump where it is used F3 ? Support me and get fresh game art and game maker projects every month: https://www.patreon.com/1upindie Follow me on: ?

This is the 4th in a short series of remaking the battle system which you see in Undertale in GameMaker. What is Undertale? Undertale is a video game made also in GameMaker by Toby Fox where you play as a child that is being trapped in an unknown world and your job in this linear story is to progress. The difference is that you can genocide monsters, be neutral or even befriend them. This throws the concept of enemies being simply neutral farm on it's head. // Part 4 This time we need indicate to the player that if the heart clips/collides with any obsticle/bullet we need to put the state into a hit state that blinks the heart. For that we have to have a timer running down and once that timer is below 0 we set the alpha to 0.4 or 1 depending what it currently is. That is it! ? For the future: This series is under construction. There will is a free downloadable project file for everybody, so you can grab and do whatever you like to do with it (you can credit me, but not necessary). Also, this video series will be handled like my Hotline Miami series. If the views drop off a cliff (that I do see happening) it will be then discontinued.
