The gif did a decent job of capturing the speed. It's a bit faster in game though.

Oh, no... lol That was just showing the deflect feature.
 That's an older gif, but it's an RPG. | |

 Working on NPCs/AI. Actually having fun playing around with it! :) | |

The birds fly away from you. Next gen!!1! It was more about the Mushroom than the bird :P I never really enjoyed working on AI or just NPCs in general...but I decided that it was better to actually take some more time to program it efficiently to get NPCs to only "act" when there's a player around them and... I got distracted and made some NPCs hide behind trees, other dodge attacks while moving around in fights, and for example this mushroom constantly "tries" to hide next to smaller mushrooms just for the lolz But yeah the bird does fly away :P | |
I'd just like to point out that for a while now, in this thread at least, almost all of the screenshots and gifs look easily as good as, if not better, than something Game Maker could accomplish.
That's a good thing. "Looks like a BYOND game" is practically non-existent now. | |
Game Maker. Lol.

Hyperlight Drifter was made in Game Maker. Widely hailed as one of the best looking indie games ever. Undertale was made in Game Maker. Widely hailed as one of the very best indie games of all time. It's not so much the engine that matters for how a game looks and plays. It's entirely about how clever and skilled the developer is. After all, the NES and Gameboy had some pretty sweet games despite their lack of oomph. I've seen neat games made with Clickteam Fusion, Game Maker, OHRRPGCE, RPG Maker, Megazeux. Engine doesn't matter. It's all about the developer. | |
Wow, just wow... I stand corrected. How embarassing lol.

You couldn't have had all this pixel movement and fancy lighting effects with accurate hitboxes, on BYOND five years ago. Like, looking at the games in this thread, they all look like modern, actual games and game ideas and concepts. Previously, seeing any BYOND game in motion was a distasteful endeavour, barre a few very small examples. | |
Rushnut has a point. The only successful games are those with pixel movement and fancy lighting effects. Name me one freaking game without pixel movement and fancy lighting effects that succeeded.

Previously, seeing any BYOND game in motion was a distasteful endeavour, barre a few very small examples. A lot of that is because nobody ever configured glide_size, or used +down/+up macros and control loops. A lot of the way that we were taught to use BYOND actually was really super bad and those habits are still the main way we write games with the software today. Only recently, people have been catching on to the idea that calling physics/movement behavior directly from verbs is a terrible practice. | |
