GMRoomLoader made it to the Shortlist last year, and it would be amazing to win this time around! It has grown a lot since then, especially with the recent v2 release.

If you feel like the library deserves it, please consider nominating it in the Best Tool category!

You asked, we listened! 🍁 Buildings and trees now become translucent, allowing you to see through them. Perfect for apple picking season 🍎

That makes things very easy for me! Thanks

If a game is in Early Access, is it "fully released" or "anticipated"?

It's not commandment 13 if this thing is actually really slow. Which it totally is 😅

Specifically it's in the "maybe not that great" folder 😅😅😅

Check it out along with all my other helpful functions (including some that are required to use draw_sprite_3d) here!
github.com/PixelatedPop...

New #gamemaker script on my Helpful Scripts github.
~~~draw_sprite_3d~~~
It's SUPER janky, and 90X SLOWER than draw_sprite_ext! But it looks pretty cool, eh?

$20,000 of royalty free commercial use video game music.

Available now for only $10 on: moonanagames.itch.io/80-songs-pack

Is it worth it? Don't take my word for it, just look at what the ppl have said instead.

Delisting old tutorials is always a hard decision. I put a lot of work into that thing, and was really proud of it at the time.
But then someone comes into the discord server asking questions about it and I'm immediately horrified.
Anyway, my old DS Map Save/Load tutorials are no longer available.

Those goods look like they fell off the back of a wagon... which tracks with Balor's character.

I'm working on it right now! Excited to get it in front of everyone!

Yeah, and I cover this method -sort of- in my tutorial. It certainly has issues, and I'm not a fan. But if it works for you I'm not gonna try and talk you out of it. Whatever gets the game out the door!

I've covered "if pause, exit step event" method (awful),
the "grab a copy of app surface and deactivate everything" method (bit of a sledgehammer)
And finally, I'm gonna cover my own method that deactivates for Logic Events, but reactivates for draw events! It's super cool

Yeah. I keep saying that. But how many viewers are gonna believe it?
