Glad you like it! More to come soon!

Welcome to the channel! Haha, well don’t worry I already have a couple of more devlogs in the works so stay tuned ;)

Thanks for the kind words! Would love to see your game sometime as well :)

Not sure what you’re trying to say, is there something called Tap Engine?

@chaosdriveofficial yes

@Barrys-Development-Hell Thanks for the kind words! I just use my iPhone 13 on cinema video mode for the video and I use a standard condenser microphone :) I’m glad you like the vid

Thanks! Yes the shaders were all coded from scratch after watching severs videos on coding shaders :)

And loop a bit shorter

@@RenderingUser Thanks for the info! I’ll look into that :)

Hey it's that other cube pfp guy.

@@Alex_Wilman other?

ahh, I see. Yes GameMaker’s event system makes for a nice programming flow and I’m definitely excited to see some of the new updates GameMaker has in store in the near future!

Glad to hear you’re enjoying Godot, it’s a great engine!

That is not in any way intended. That's fully optional. And for more advanced users

isn't there a way to remove the gdscript part of godot and keep the engine just with c++? I kinda thought of forking Godot and try this, but seems like a lot of work.

@@LuisCassih you can just ignore gdscript to make a game if you want, with both GDExtension and C++ modules. I'm not sure about removing gdscript itself from the editor, why bother.

@@LuisCassih why remove the most important part of godot for most people?

@@RenderingUser I'm talking on a fork to use for my self, I don't care what most people use.

Appreciate the feedback! More devlogs to come!

Most of the keyboard keybinds are easily convertible to string because they are just letters, but for the keybinds that aren’t convertible (spacebar, escape, shift) I just use a simple switch statement that checks for these and returns a string depending on which one it is :) Hope this helps!

@@chaosdriveofficial thank you!

@@chaosdriveofficial sorry to bother you again, but how did you do the controller axis to string? for the buttons it works fine but for the axis it crashes.

@ In my own game, I didn’t allow the player to bind the axis, but if you want you can just take a horizontal and vertical axis values to check where the axis is at, using: gp_axis_lh() or gp_axis_lv() and then based one where the axis is at, i display the string as either “Left Stick Left” “Left Stick Up” etc.

@@chaosdriveofficial Thank you again! I think I will just have a setting where you can bind it to the left or right stick and the just choose up and down or left and right

@@jasonbrav2387 this particular vid was an experiment kinda? i wanted to see if anybody would notice the ai text to speech done in my voice. my other vids are all natural though

@@Perlescent_Ham Merci beaucoup pour ces mots gentils!

Question: I'm trying to write out the name of the binding in my draw event. I understand that GML outputs the unicode value of whatever button you input, and if it's an ordinary character (e.g., A-Z, 0-9), you can convert it to a string containing the character using the chr() function. This doesn't work for virtual keys (vk_*), mouse buttons or gamepad buttons, so I figured I could write use a switch statement in the draw event to write out a string based on the input received. Something like this: switch (obj_input.keybinds[1].key) { // Keyboard Arrow Keys case vk_left: draw_text(x,y, string("Left Arrow")); break; case vk_right: draw_text(x,y, string("Right Arrow")); break; case vk_up: draw_text(x,y, string("Up Arrow")); break; case vk_down: draw_text(x,y, string("Down Arrow")); break; // Gamepad D-Pad Directions case gp_padl: draw_text(x,y, string("D-Pad Left")); break; case gp_padr: draw_text(x,y, string("D-Pad Right")); break; case gp_padu: draw_text(x,y, string("D-Pad Up")); break; case gp_padd: draw_text(x,y, string("D-Pad Down")); break; // Ordinary characters A-Z, 0-9 default: draw_text(x,y, string(chr((obj_input.keybinds[1].key)))); break; } I'm using position 1 in the array because it happens this object is associated with that specific control (in this case, 'Move Right'). This works great for everything except Mouse Wheel and Gamepad Axis. Any guidance/suggestions you can offer?

Hi, thanks for the question! In fleshed out implementations I’ve created, I typically make a different keybind string case depending on what type of keybind it is. This can be done inside the individual constructors on creation or wherever you want, but I found that it was the most simple solution to just get the display string differently for each type of keybind. The method you have come up with here is perfect for the keyboard and game pad buttons and is pretty similar to what i’ve done myself!

Also as far as saving goes, I think it would be much better for you to save and load to json files instead of ini, since gamemaker’s functions make it really easy to load structs from jsons. I believe the gamemaker youtube channel actually has a good video on how to save and load structs from json

​@@chaosdriveofficial Thank you, I appreciate your advice! Now if I could just find a guide that put it all together from start to finish ;) I can certainly follow the bits you covered, but am lost with respect to how to incorporate it into a simple UI, and am still experimenting with saving to file, be it .ini or .json.

@@vtoadgames Thank you for the kind words! I’m glad you got something out of the vid :) I’d be happy to answer any questions or confusions you have!

​@@chaosdriveofficial Thanks again for your videos! I found that i could follow along and get a project to the same state you did, but could not work out how to handle the UI. I'd worked out how to display a friendly name for virtual keys and buttons, but not how to display mouse wheel and gamepad axis choices. I would love to see a simple part 3 with a demonstration of how you'd code a UI that could display saved choices for all three input types (keyboard and mouse, mouse wheel direction, gamepad buttons, and analog sticks). While experienced GML coders can work out how to use your system to do this on their own, I think having a quick UI tutorial would be a big help to n00bs like me who are struggling to figure this stuff out on our own :).

haha, this vid was a fun experiment because i wanted to see if anyone would notice the AI voice. You’re the first one to notice lol, just so you know all my vids besides this are my real, genuine voice

@@chaosdriveofficial honestly I think people knew, just didn't say anything, also I Just Subscribed

Hi! If you go to my channel to the devlog before this one, I talk about the platform water there, thanks for the question :)

love you😘

Wow I'm the first like lol

If you want individual parts to be lighter or darker, instead of just making the whole original sprite pure white, vary the shade of it to slightly darker grays etc and then when you manipulate the hue in the engine it will still have that shading applied.

Yep! @exa1ted372 is exactly right here! When using image blend, the darker the gray, the darker the final color will be on the colored image. So for shaded areas you will want to use different shades of gray instead of just white :)

That’s a great question! There are gonna be many different enemies; however, I don’t think I will be implementing specific types because I want all the enemies to be very unique and different from one another. Thanks for asking :)

yes it is!

if you just want to set your drawn sprite to the player, i think a good method would be to create a script that has the variables skin color, hair, etc. as parameters. And put all the draw code that we wrote in the script, this way you can draw the sprite whenever you want with just one line of code calling the script.
