Played the game until the sign with red color with End written on it.

Still have a lot of works to do.

For the starter level, it is better to have a tutorial level, to understand the control and the game mechanism, especially when climbing using the shark teeth (btw, nice use of shark teeth for climbing ;))

Also some sound and music would be nice especially to boost the mood.

Resizable screen will be also nice especially for player with lower screen resolution. It is easy to enable it in Game Maker Studio.

About the Sharky's design, it looks like a whale instead of shark. Maybe if you sharp the top head a bit and add more white color above its mouth to the near top of its head, it will do :).

About the distribution, I personally prefer Standalone instead of Installer. It's a bit hassle to move folders if I want to test between Standalone and Installed games, especially if I want to play/test many games.

Also, good luck for the update in the future C:.

Thanks. I'm actually working on a tutorial. In the beginning you can see the villain of the game teaching you how to move and jump. But that's all I got so far, after that he shows you how to do all the other stuff.

There is music... ? I mean, I just tried it out and there are indeed music and sound effects. There's probably something wrong with your sound mixer?

I'll add that soon.

The blowhole on it's head is there so it can breathe on land, while the gills are there for underwater breathing. It's all very complex, trust me (totally didn't just come up with that).

How do you do that with Game Maker Studio?

Thanks for the reply.

About music & sound effect, there were really no sound heard (Just retried again to confirm it). In the mixer volume of the Sharky game, there is no sound output either. What kind of audio did you use? Since I recall about the legacy audio and the main audio system.

My sound mixer is also fine since when playing other GMS games, sounds were heard.

About how to make a game release without installing:

  • Go to "Create Application"
  • on "Save as type:", click "Windows NSIS Installer (*.exe), then choice one of these:
    1. Single runtime executable (*.exe)
    2. Compressed application zip (*.zip) (recommended)
  • Though the second choice (*.zip) is better than first choice in my experience (less hassle on zipping and less problem on icon)

I just re-retried it and it does indeed have music and sound effects. I don't really know what the problem is. And some friends of mine just tried it out and they can also hear audio. I'll try to figure out what's going on.

Thanks, I'll try doing that.
