You're an Artist?

DTApple

Not exactly! It's something I managed to pick up during Wisp's development! Though I mostly do it for fun nowadays, unfortunately, that's pretty infrequent.

I see that you post aesthetics on there and such, which is fantastic. This is just something that you like to do on your freetime i assume?

DragonMals

And what is wisp? The only wisp I know is the developing social media site that is literally the original Twitter website but it's owned by the same person who made the extension of Twitter to make it look like the original Twitter.

DTApple

Yep! And Wisp refers to the game I've been working on!

OHHH. You're working on another game? Which is this one about this time?

DTApple

It's more or less, the same one I've been working on since 2022, if it was coherent. For the second time in its lifespan, I've restarted development on it. Dunno when I'll start it again, as it has been increasingly harder to work it into a schedule. But here's an insanely outdated and broken build I made last year.

DragonMals

This feels like a prototype. Although for some reason I open the file, it goes into fullscreen, and off of full screen? How do you even make a game fullscreen with GameMaker?

DTApple

Well, there are multiple ways it can be done!

Either using:

window_set_fullscreen(true)

or

Game Options > Platform Settings > Windows > and setting 'Start fullscreen' as true!

I did not know about this... What if this breaks ui and such? How easy will it be fixed when messing with the code and whatnot?

DTApple

I don't have too much to say about it breaking UI, as I haven't experienced any major issues with it. However, according to the Gamemaker Roadmap, managing UI should become less troublesome in the future!

Absolutely wonderful.

You and I need to talk about game dev more. I need to get back into the groove of things. I've been having plans to make a Platformer with Gradius elemrnts featuring a stick figure with a hat trying to find his dog.

Sounds pretty interesting! If you ever get back into it, I recommend these libraries to make development less of a headache!

Not a lib, but a nice list of helpful software and other misc. things!

Libaraies??? Are these plugins? I didn't know that even GameMaker has these...

So...you're saying you're a Deviant now? /joke

DragonMals

What was the problem with DeviantArt again? I remember back in the 2000s and early 2010s that people joked about r34 people being prominent on the site but i dunno the status of that today.

(let's don't go too deep onto this)

DTApple

Am back! Not exactly plug-ins, but a collection of scripts by notable community members!

Though, Gamemaker does have limited support for plug-ins, but only supports Git.
