Let's Make a Tower Defense Game - Week 3 - Loading and Drawing Meshes
It's time to do visual stuff again. 3D objects will now load from files and can be drawn in the world! Later on I'll optimize this using vertex buffer tricks that I've talked about in the past - and a few other tricks that I'll talk about in due time.
I record these a bit in advance, but if you want to suggest things go for it! If you want to follow along (or do something similar), this is using GMS 2.3 because the new language features are really nice. 2.3 is currently in open beta, so if you haven't installed it yet you can find it as a download option in your YYG account.
I'm back with a game that I never properly finished last year!

Within moments of arrival, the local god, Shiro, commands him to be her husband and he accepts. On the first day of school, local rich girl Yuki Towada asks him to be her boyfriend and he accepts. They both find out and Hilarity Ensues from there.

Ever wanted a pretty visualization of how your game's performing? You'll probably like this. View the instantaneous and average frame rate of your game on a speedometer-like gauge (hence the name) or, if you prefer, a line graph over time.
This is based on something I made a few years ago and decided to polish up earlier this month. Hopefully some people will find a use for it.

This'll also go on the Marketplace at some point, once extensions for 2.3 are deemed acceptable.
The music is Habanera by Bizet. I don't know if it's dramatic enough.

We complain about the lack of teambuilding in Morty's gym, kick the butt of Morty himself and then go back to Olivine City to ascend the lighthouse!

I guess the in-universe explanation for Shulk respawning over and over every time I get him killed is that he was never alive in the first place. It all makes sense now! Doesn't explain Reyn and the other people though.

I sacrificed my hearing for this.
Seriously though, the jam room is amazing.

The world needs saving, or something, probably, but all of the old farts in the village are perfectly content to spend the rest of their lives talking our ears off.
If you want to play it yourself you can find the game on Steam. The game itself is pretty fun, but the lack of polish is kind of hard to ignore.

This is going to be an informal side series that I post on Mondays and / or in between other series, and by that I mean it's going to be pretty light on editing and I'm just going to cut it in appropriate places instead of when we sign on and off. The game's also apparently really long, so it might be going on for a few weeks. Uhh, I mean a few years.
