Is it possible make a Backroom style game on Gameguru MAx????

To make a rail shooter you would also need to code in rotating while stationary and rotating while moving forward, because just going in a straight line looking ahead would be a bit flat or limited.

what properties is the the + sign global status?

This is coming along nicely. The underwater tunnel and the particles in the water are looking good. However, no explanation is given for why the water in an underground cave would be turbid. Under steady state conditions gravity would cause any particles in the water to settle to the bottom as a fine mud. So, the water would be clear. Perhaps you could arrange it so that initially the water is clear but if you were to enter the water then the mud would get stirred up and make the water turbid. Or, if that is too difficult to arrange, then frequent seismic activity (camera shake + rumbling) could shake the cave causing the mud in the water to become stirred up thus making the water turbid. Another question the player might ask is where do these particles in the water come from. If it is a limestone cave, then carbon dioxide in the air would dissolve in the water forming a weak solution of carbonic acid which would dissolve the rock. There might be a bit of silica left behind from diatoms in the limestone but not much. In order for the water to be brown and turbid you would need to have clay suspended in the water. Clay is a weathering breakdown product of feldspar, one of the three minerals that make up granite which is a volcanic rock. However, you would not find caves like this in granite formations because granite is essentially lava which has cooled down very slowly deep underground thus forming interlocking crystals of feldspar, biotite and quartz. There would be no water in such a place and without running water you would not get cave formations like this. Lava that cools down rapidly near the surface forms basalt. It is made of the same stuff as granite but does not have large crystals like granite does. You do find lava tubes in basalt but they linear caves and do not look like the caves depicted here. These caves look like limestone caves. If there were dust storms taking place overhead of the cave entrance on the other side of the underwater tunnel, then one could imagine that dust particles, laden with clay, could settle and accumulate in the water in that area of the cave. Over time, they could spread deeper into the cave system, perhaps due to seismic activity. Dust storms are common in desert regions. You may not want to go into this much detail in designing your game ... and, that's fair enough because you have a lot to do and you have to draw a line somewhere. Personally, I think it adds a lot to the realism of a game if you can provide plausible explanations for why the world is the way it is. And, the more realistic it is, then the better the illusion. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to seeing he next edition of your dev log.

I appreciate your use of particles for the water to give it a little more life. I think something new is in the works that will help do that effect more efficiently. I would love for Max to implement a simple texture warp, kinda like the old quake 2 engine did with water/lava/acid to help single texture liquid effects look a little more serviceable. The ultimate goal of course being an easy way to apply shaders to single planes. Anyhow, great job so far. I hope your idea for the lava (bigger texture) works as expected to slow it down. So much of Max development is solving for little ankle biting issues like that so I enjoy seeing your creative solutions.

i do not like that you do not move with the platform automatically.

Very informative, as usual! Thanks so much!

Thanks for this series! Looking forward to learning the engine

Any thoughts about which version of GameGuru is getting discontinued? Most people are saying it's going to be Classic by I think it might actually be MAX. I recall a similar thing happened with FPSC X10, TGC discontinued it and went back to supporting regular FPSC. If they brought MAX's interface and model importer to Classic that would be the best overall solution imo.

Would really love it if you could do a Cine-Guru series showing us how to use the camera systems. Would probably help a lot of people out.

How do you actually improve your health? because the health bar increases but the health is not like the health bar is fictional

I got the exact same problem with my cave as well. When i tried to put something to hide those fold, i got the same object leveling 'itself' above the 0 elevation the program seem to believe into. (lol). it is like it has a mind of its own. Thank you so much for your tutorials, they are always great. I share with my friends.

Great videos, and awesome to see a new series and a challenging one at that! Although my commitment to bug fixing is very high, my commitment to rewarding excellent MAX content is slightly higher. Next build will have loot drop for all characters, including animals (which are technically characters under the hood). Watch out for the next DEVTEST :)

Hmmm. OK. You have been generous in providing this visual insight into your game making adventure, and you have asked for some suggestions, so here are some. There is an old adage which goes "the more realistic it seems, the greater the illusion!". So, so as not to break the illusion, I suggest that you spend some time thinking about how the real world works, in order to make the scenario plausible. A well-crafted game does not have to look photo-realistic, or employ highly realistic looking characters (cartoons, and animated feature films such as "The Lion King", and "A Bug's Life" clearly do not) in order to create a compelling immersive experience, so long as the world they conjure feels real enough, and plausible enough, to allow the uninterrupted suspension of disbelief. When designing a survival genre game such as this one, clearly there needs to be a strong focus on resources. The primary resources that keep the player alive are air, water, and food, in the first instance, followed by things like shelter (staying warm), resources that support the maintenance of health (avoidance of parasites, resistance to disease, exposure to toxins, and wound management), resources that allow protection from belligerent actors (predators, monsters, magic users, and deities), and resources that allow for mitigation against of adverse events and simple bad luck. In places where the cave system is open to the surface, air can get in, and if there is more than one opening, then air can flow through the cave. So, you have a conveyor belt here. You already have a water source which at the moment looks like a pool, but if you were make it dynamic, then it too could provide a conveyor belt. You could do this by turning it into a slow moving stream, or having it rise for a time after rain and then subsiding again. The other conveyor belt that you have is the light that comes in through the holes in the roof of the cave, presumably sufficiently high that the player cannot simply climb out, which delivers a stream of energy. The significance of these streams and conveyer belts is that they are the pathways by which resources can enter the system so as to be harvested. So, the air allows you to breathe, and the water stream allows you to drink. But, how do you get food? It either has to come into the system, or be generated within it. If you have light (and therefore you have energy) and water, then you will have photosynthesis, meaning that simple plants, such as lichen, liverworts and mosses, can grow in lit areas (even dim ones), and other plants which can tolerate low light conditions can produce seeds ... probably not enough to sustain you, but enough to allow bacteria and algae to grow, and small invertebrates can feed off this bacteria and algae, and these in turn will become food for larger predatory invertebrates which are big enough for you to catch and eat. Not only that: but; these food source will attract larger creatures in the food chain who might be occasional visitors to the cave in search of food just like you, and if you can trap one them, or otherwise overcome them, then you might obtain a reasonable meal. All these creatures leave behind waste products and eventually die, the remains of which can serve as food for scavenger and decomposer organisms and, in addition, provide nutrients for fungi including mushrooms which you can harvest. Bats frequent caves and would make a tasty meal, and the guano they leave behind, which contains nitrogen and phosphorus rich fertiliser, together with undigested seeds, would serve as a food source for all kinds of critters and well as various fungi. So, here you have both nutrients and energy travelling along the air conveyor belt into the cave system. Various worms, crustaceans, eels and possibly fish might live in the stream of water, and these could also bring nutrients and energy into the system via a water conveyer belt. There might be driftwood, roots, leaves and sticks that move along the stream and these could be dried out and used for firewood. There might even be place where such material has accumulated in the past and dried out. Using the idea of streams and conveyor belts for energy, nutrients, materials, and organisms gives you a way to decide where to place various things in you game and provide a plausible framework that you can use to make the scenario seem more realistic. You can also add interest to the game by looking at how a disruption of these conveyor belts might impact your circumstances. An increase in volcanic activity is likely to be accompanied by a transient rise in noxious gases like carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and sulphur dioxide which might require you to flee the area and seek safe haven, perhaps by swimming through the tunnel. Surface rain might cause the water level to rapidly rise, again requiring you to flee and seek safe haven to avoid drowning, or threaten to flood your camp site, and ruin or sweep away your stores, and other creatures might also have to relocate for a time and in so doing either join you or perhaps even guide you to a safe place, if you were to follow them. Their movement might even provide advance warning. The water level could also fall for a time, depriving you of a water source, and requiring you to collect water seeping in from above using fabric as a wick and draining into some kind of container ... the skulls of dead animals, perhaps. And, maybe a larger predator occasionally enters the cave system from time to time seeking refuge, or a place to hibernate, or by falling down a hole, and if you could catch it, and cure the meat then you might be eating jerky for while... that is, until something else steals it while you are asleep! And you might benefit from a fur coat. Information is also a resource. So, you could add another narrative by having rock paintings on the wall which tell the story of people who lived in these caves long, long ago. If you were to study them carefully, you might learn things that help you to survive, or provide crafting instructions, or reveal parts of the cave system that have been made inaccessible due to rock falls, or lie on the other side of the lava pool, giving you a reason to build bridge to get to the other side. Necessity is the mother of invention; and, curiosity killed the cat! www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2012/07/10/realism-art-and-style-in-video-games/ Have fun!

Those cracks in the seams look more like folds in the rock than anything else. I did a large cave maze on GG Max before I left on deployment. I will be revisiting it when I get home. Thanks for your great videos and keep up the great work.

can you make another tutorial on the player hud they've change how it works this tutorial is now useless

Again i say, man your videos show the world ( because i am from Portugal) 2 things, one is how great ggmax is and second, man you make our life so easy in this stuff because of the excellent way you explain how the engine works in its advanced tools, so again thanks and congrats

I love your tutorials. I am working on a survival game. How can I get my camp fire to boost health? I can get it to affect a user defined global but not health. Please keep the tutorials coming - without them I might have given up by now!

I know this topic has nothing to do with it but I need help please. My "building editor" doesn't work, it just displays a black screen. On the left side, the items to add appear, but where the buildings were supposed to appear for me to create, only a black screen is displayed. Please HELP MEEE!!

And be carefull also to not wipe the ass with some poison leaves 😜, lolo , by the way very nice ideia there congrats

another great tut. .thanks

i cant seam to find a link !

Needed this vid - I had no idea what a LUT was so thank you for the examples. Add the lut tool mentioned to the description when you're able. Also, just me making a mental-note, design-wise that transition would look really clean with a forcefield/hologram over the doorway.

how do you get the empty space look , i have been trying to delete the terrain

How did health go down?

How do you add spawn marker behaviour?

To bad the building editor doesn't have CSG functions to allow you to build a more convincing level to go along with the scripts to produce a more satisfying end result. Example.. The demo 'Trapped' the entire level wasn't created in the building editor at all!! It was created in a 3D modeling application to get the details found in the level.. The archways is a prime example here! The building editor can only create simple boxed rooms and that is it!! Very disappointing to say the least here!! 😠

Great idea! I'm looking forward to more when they are available! Thanks!

Suggestion, if you use OBS Studio to record, there is an option called "audio output" that controls the volume coming from your pc into the recording, and in the future when you have something loud like this you can turn down the output volume so we can hear you talking. Other than that, good tutorial, thank you for making it.

Thank you! You are the best! We'd all be lost without your informative videos.

Do enemy states persist between levels? If i use this for a hub world, will the game remember what enemies were killed or will everything reset like you started the level fresh?

Man coming from you, it's great, as you have a pragmatic and consistent way of doing tutorials, so it will certainly be very interesting and enjoyable to watch this mini series

great

Thank you for doing this and for all the other videos.

fire

Very nice , very smooth with the fade

Hey another great video Blood Moon, I was wondering if you could help me as I have imported a boat onto GGmax but when I try to move the boat forward with the W key the boat goes sideways instead any suggestions? the A & D key work as they should to turn the boat. Also is there anyway to position the white box on the boat instead of it being in the middle as I would like to stand & steer from the back of the boat

Very informative and useful, thank you.

Another great tutorial video! But may I know which pack includes these red chairs?

I've been needing this one. Love it.

You wouldn't happen to know how to get this to work with the sliding door would you? I'm trying to make an elevator where the doors will hang with it when it changes levels and then you could open and close them when it gets to each floor. I got the door glued to the elevator and it goes up and down as long as you don't open the door first. Once the door gets activated it doesn't seem to want to go up and down with the elevator. Great channel by the way! A lot of these scripts were added when I was taking a break so I didn't even know they existed and this makes it easy to find out what they do
