An Unexpected Update (also game's now open source)
Posted April 23, 2022 by EAtkin
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
