Some programming and scripting languages use a toString() method to determine what the output looks like when you represent an object as a string, which the programmer is allowed to override and define themselves. As it turns out, so does GML! Here's a short video about the toString() method in GameMaker.
This is the video where all of my technology violently rebels against me - not unlike the premise of the game itself! I really like this game but the Let's Play is being held together by duct tape and wires right now, I hope nobody is offended by this. Anyway, we enter a new zone in the game and it's great.

Something I've been doing to pass the time. Also excuse the thumbnail, I didn't really know what to use for it today.

Questions are beginning to be asked about why this world is so similar to ours!
Angels With Scaly Wings is on Steam:

Memes aside, it's really good, I recommend giving it a look.

I forgot to include a few pieces of vintage 2011 Dragonite graphic design in the video, so I'm sneakily re-uploading this.
-----------------------------
Just with pretty much every deadline in my life, this video has still technically been uploaded while it's still the day of interest... in my time zone... by less than a minute... technically. Featuring a cute animal slideshow.
This is how I make Let's Play videos! If you're interested in doing this sort of thing yourself I wouldn't recommend copying me because it's still kind of a long process and uses a lot of semi-expensive equipment, but hopefully it's still kind of interesting. Spoiler: a lot of work goes into pre-production, and then when I sit down to record I pretty much totally wing it.
I'll post a link to the death card generator I mentioned in the video tomorrow, it's pretty late and I want to think about something besides these for a while.

Nobody is better at this game than me, at least when it comes to failing catastrophically. Yes, that is the actual total number of deaths that I managed to rack up in this game, I was the one who had to count them all. Please don't anybody say anything about playing Dark Souls after this.
Anyway, next "official" let's play that I'm doing is coming a week from now, it's going to be, uh, quite something, I'll say that much.

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.

That's it for Ending A. This was a really good game. I'll come back for at least some of the remaining endings later, but first I'm going to play some other games for a bit.

We go from killing stuff with fire to getting killed by fire! This puzzle wasn't as bad as I made it out to be but if you want to see the solution it's at about 10:01.
Feel free to talk about what you think about the game in the comments, but please avoid spoilers for at least a month or so after this video is published, I know some of you played most/all of the demo and have a pretty good idea how it goes. I'd like to find out for myself.
The game can be found on Steam:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/432350/
And the free version on Matt's web site:

I do live streams sometimes! I haven't in a really long time though so I should probably remove this link.
