I've said it multiple times before, but even at full retail price this game is a STEAL. This is easily a 29.99 game quality, content, and length wise. I have to assume the only reason it's 14.99 is because it gets compared to Stardew which has always been inexpensive. Fantastic game

In my latest #gamemaker video I won't shut up about how cool animation curves are. Here's something cool you can do with them: localized floating bug motion (fireflies, butterflies, etc) Check out the code in the reply post!

It's lookin' good! Would definitely "slow down" the mountain layer of parallax. They don't really look like distant mountains when they move so much; more like weird cliffs just behind the graveyard.

Haha. It doesn't actually "suck". That's just the click bait title. I think it's one of the most useful "Other" events in GM. I use it for a million different things, but the more you use it, the more you may run into the "problem" that the video helps you solve with it.

Yeah. I love the game to death, but am very much missing the "texture" the world and characters in Stardew have. Everyone is so perfectly charming and sweet and I love all of them... and that feels a bit shallow.

Ever have a sound effect play "too often"? And they layer on top of each other and get really loud or really noisy? Wouldn't it be cool if you could limit how often a sound could play? That's what audio_play_sound_spaced does! Check the example below (Headphones on. Un-spaced First, Spaced Second)

This game was so much fun! I snagged it from Netflix back when it was brand new, and played the crap out of it. Definitely one of those very rare, actually good mobile games.

Yeah, and while new terms may eventually settle (I'm partial to Computer Controlled Entity) there are still decades of technical papers and talks that refer to it as "AI" so good luck finding those resources through a search.
