#super state engine #tutorial #game maker
The main news today is that I've started writing tutorials in the form of blog posts to walk you through making a retro platformer with Super State Engine. I first intended to make youtube videos but I encountered technical and logistical difficulties with this approach. I must say I'm enjoying writing blog posts a lot more so this should help me providing you with more regular content!
The new tutorials use my free Mega Woman asset pack to create a Mega Man style game. There's three parts so far that go through coding running, jumping, shooting, getting hurt and dying and more will be coming soon (hopefully).
Version 1.0.7 fixes a few little things and introduce the new function "state_set_var()" which allows to change any variable of a set target. This new simple function should give much greater versatility to what you can do with the engine, taking full advantage of the core ability of the framework which is scripting actions in sequence.
Here's the list of change for this version.
