New Pc = Better Tutorials & Better Videos Of My Games

Tomorrow or day after tomorrow I FINALLY get a new pc! And what that means is I can make a better tutorials and finally start working some kind of trailer video of my game Tundmatu.

Now it has been pain in the ass to record or edit any videos, because I can't record the whole screen almost at all (maybe <5min and everything freezes). And when talking about recording Tundmatu at full screen.... I can't do that even 1 second :D So every videos of my games is recorded 400x240 or 800x480 with 30fps (+Lagging and slowing down a lot).
I hope you see soon >60fps full screen gameplay footage of the Tundmatu!

Then I was thinking about to start streaming the making of Tundmatu or making tutorials/examples on live so people could tell me what they want to see/learn and I make (or try to make) it right away and then upload the tutorial so you can download it.

What are your thoughts about that?

Weekly or Monthly report! Part 5 - Small Update

http://gamejolt.com/games/tundmatu/192044/devlog/weekly-or-monthly-report-part-5-small-update-whvepxu9

In this month I haven’t got a time, or I think it’s better say I haven’t got an energy to make this game much further because I got a job, so I really don’t have huge updates to show you right now.
But don’t worry! Even though I have lesser energy and time, the game is progressing. Slowly but surely :P

So what I have done in this month:
-Optimize the game a lot. Made events smarter and better.
-Encounter a huge fps drops and tried to figure it out what is going on and after a day or two I found that in about +20 events there were an action to create a background every time player goes to a new room… I was Inadvertently forget to delete that one action before copy/paste the events… But I am glad that problem was so small :D
-Made the map further as always

I think that’s all for now!

Weekly or Monthly report! Part 4 - Changes

http://gamejolt.com/games/tundmatu/192044/devlog/weekly-or-monthly-report-part-4-changes-j4rmhdfz
I made changes, a lot of changes:

When I was making the map further, I realize that jetpack mechanic is too "good". What I mean about that is you could fly using a jetpack almost 2 rooms height (when regulate the "fuel") and that’s not good.
That’s why it was very difficult to make anything challenging jumping obstacle things in the map, or even harder enemies. It made everything too easy.

So, I changed jetpack to double jump. When you get a jetpack module, it means you can double jump (no, you don’t have to activate that like a jetpack in the demo). It is like jetpack boosted jump.

Maybe I put old jetpack in the later game as an upgrade… Who knows.

And because of that change, I had to change the map also. In the beginning of the game you can use only normal jumps so I had to add some platforms and walljump things here and there, but I think it’s a lot better now.

What else I have done besides the changes:

-In the game there is indoor and outdoor areas.

I worked with the cameras, so when you are in the caves, camera goes room to room, but when you go outside, camera will follow the player horizontally.

-Walljump animation

-Made map further as always

-Made new enemies

-Start making some dialog

Weekly or Monthly report! Part 3

http://gamejolt.com/games/tundmatu/192044/devlog/weekly-or-monthly-report-part-3-9mhb9rri

Mostly I have been doing pixel art for the game (Backgrounds, tiles, enemies etc).

Also, I have been working with the map and make it further.

Here is some pictures:

I made the eyeball monsters a little bit better looking.

Some lavafalls

Solving a puzzle using anti-gravity weapon

New enemies

Mountain view and a big tree.

TUNDMATU - Weekly or Monthly report! Part 2

http://gamejolt.com/games/tundmatu/192044/devlog/weekly-or-monthly-report-part-2-dikybtc7

What’s going on?

Last week I did not have a time to make the game as much as I wanted to, but here is something:

-I fixed sounds and music and change and add some things in the map.

-Add backgrounds

-I practised pixel art and drew an enemies:

-Here is a video so you can see how difference the game is compared to the demo version (Boss battle music is not final, just placeholder):

I had to record in window size 800x480 and 30 fps and still it lags and particle effects looks difference! Maybe it’s time to get a new computer! :D

TUNDMATU - Weekly or Monthly report!

http://gamejolt.com/games/tundmatu/192044/devlog/weekly-or-monthly-report-gjyvirct

First I’d like to thank you all who have been played the demo. Special thanks for those who followed, rated or commented.

So, what I have been doing?

-Last week I started to make save system for the game. So it’s like real save thing and not like in the demo where it was more like a checkpoint or something like that.

-I made a map larger. Now it’s about 2 times bigger than demo map. I have been thinking that the size of the final map will be something like 4 -6 times bigger than the demo map (realistically I think it’s more closer 4 times bigger than 6, but we’ll see).

-I change the player character a little bit. I think it’s better now, what do you think?

-I also start making new weapons and one of them is anti-gravity weapon (or whatever you want to call it), which enables to move some obstacles away. May be useful at some points!

I think that’s all what I managed to do last week!

GDevelop - How To Make a Simple Menu And "Cutscene"

This is Tutorial how to make simple menu where you can select "Play" and "Quit". Also there is little demonstration how to make simple text based cutscene. You can download Tutorial HERE or follow there pictures I show you.

This is the set up

First make these events. After this, you can move that red selector up and down and see how texts change colors.
Event 1 set "selector" y position same "height" as text "play".
In events 2 and 3 you can see that when selector is in that position, "Play" text change color to red and "Quit" to white (default color). And sub event that when you press up or down, selector change it's y position.

Here you an see where to find these position actions.

And how to change the text color.

Now we add some events and sub events.
Variable "Play" is there to define when you can move the selector up and down and to detect did you press "Play" or "Quit".
So as you can see, you can move cursor ONLY when variable "play" is = 0.
And when selector Y position is same as text "play" and you press enter, variable "play" gets value 1.
And when value is 1 you can see in event 4 what is happening next.
Do same thing to "Quit".

This is image of the text cutscenes.
Click this image bigger and you can see the explanation better.

GDevelop - How To Make Object Change Direction Randomly (4 Directions)

This tutorial is about changing objects direction every 2 seconds randomly while moving. No video, because my screen recorder isn't working properly on my pc right now. Download Gdevelop file and assets HERE!

1. Modify initial variables 

2. Add a variable "Directions" or what you want it to be

3. Add these events (events 2-6 really matters) and you got a object that moves randomly! Ps. When you add force, damping is 0!

If you want that object can move not only up, down, left and right but every angle (360), you can do it like this:

You don't need variables

Change damping to 1!
