Jumping on this late, but I was happy to see you devlogging this on itch after following you on the bird app saying you are "making a mega-dungeon." Plus, cool Arx inspo!
the game's code is inside various objects/instances in (a version I don't have anymore of) gamemaker's script editor. If there's some way to get a different version...like, whatever re-ordered code GMS converts it to to run the game off of (if that's how it actually works? dunno) I have no idea how that is done/acquired at all. Maybe look into how people mod old GMS games like Hotline Miami?
Sorry about those soft locks! Yeah my platformers did that a lot I remember.
haha I checked your WR speedrun video. That's very cool! I'm glad to know this exists. And happy you were able to find an exploit that didn't make the whole game hard crash! Doesn't that happen, like, a whole bunch when you try to find skips/etc for speedrunning?
I've been toggling that, yes. I even went thru Appdata and deleted all folders/files with "ddd" (in case it was grabbing old customization info from there somehow) before I installed the version you just put up (no crash in viewer settings thanks!). Could it be my video card somehow?
downloaded and unzipped again and still not showing! I'm toggling everything in "more" and "vertex format" and "viewer settings" to no avail haha (btw "reset" in "viewer settings" crashes the prog every time for me). I'm baffled why it's not working.
whoa it's so cool you are helping me (and other croc users) out on this! I tried the beta version, but may be doing something wrong tho. If I export to .obj from Crocotile (a model with vertex colors obviously, and checkmark "Vertex Colors") then add mesh into Penguin they should be showing up, right? It's still blank for me. The creator of Crocotile told me this when I asked, dunno if it helps:
"crocotile adds the vertex r g b values to the end of the vertex x y z data in the .obj, if vertex colors is checked on export.. it's not a standard of obj, but some programs might read the vertex data such as MeshLab."
just learned simply exporting to obj is wiping the vertex color info. I didn't know that. Any tips for doing what I'm trying ? (get vertex colors working in gamemaker?)
The demo for this was on The Haunted PS1 Demo Disc 2021. Go check those out (if you haven't already!) and want a similar anthology to the Dread collections. The third one is on its way soon!
This is really cool! I kept getting viscously killed however, gonna dive back in soon! I feel like there's some cool stuff hidden...
The swap to the mundane other world was mind-blowing really, I totally did not expect that! It's like I chose an entirely different game right at the very beginning and it was like "ok, here you go!" and it really existed. Very cool, I'll keep looking out for your stuff!
You need human flesh/organ to start (ie: the eye). Tho I guess if you're talking literal pork bacon, you could have an inside-out pig mummy on your hands. Do give me any ideas!! hehe
Thanks! It's originally inspired by games in CHAIN (check my itch page under "collabs") where, without talking to each other, a whole slew of the games coincidentally defaulted to being about collecting books and running from eyeballs. Collecting pages is a common task in slender-alikes, and you see eyeballs a lot in indie horror. There's something elemental and meta about them, like a basic archetype monster. I could prob do another game about it haha!
cool thanks for playing! was the glitch just something you could see on your other monitor (no evidence in the video)? Players have had issues with dual monitor setups in my games before. I'll see what I can do!
