An Unexpected Update (also game's now open source)

A Relaxing Typing Game
A browser game made in HTML5

Hello

In short:

  • I've updated the Windows build ONLY. Unfortunately Gamemaker's limitations means custom text loading will not be available for Linux. Sorry :(
  • I would recommend you download this build if you plan on spending much time with it
  • Custom text loading added
  • Three new songs from my good buddy JustWall (go listen to his bandcamp here: https://justwallmusic.bandcamp.com/)
  • Source code released so you can do what you want with it

I've also fixed a few things:

  • A horrible oversight I made which made the game lag for very large texts
  • A bug with saving
  • Changed the way music is shuffled (a Gamemaker update broke it)

Web version things I need to fix:

  • The lag issue that I've fixed in the downloadable version

Web version things that I can't reasonably fix due to limitation with Gamemaker

  • Entering more than one character per frame will only accept the first character
  • Loading in external texts is not currently possible

Source Code:

I've stripped out all the assets I don't have the rights to redistribute (music, a font and some backgrounds) and released the source code on Github:

https://github.com/Eatkin/Relaxing-Open-Source-Game

The game is made with Gamemaker Studio 2 and was compiled with v2.3.7.603

Updates to Gamemaker sometimes break things
