Boxinator Progress Topic *DISCONTINUED. TOO BAD.*

Yes, I'm another Game Maker user.

And I was bored so I decided to start making a game...

BOXINATOR!!!

In Boxinator, you make brown boxes to help you finish the levels! It's hard to explain, but you'll see what I mean when I release Demo 1.

NOW TO MAKE YOU EXCITED!!!

Here's some boring pictures that you can go to sleep with.

MORE BORING PICTURES!!!

If you throw in some comments, I just might release Demo 1 this instant.

I like the concept of this game! It's very interesting!

--I'm making a new game too. Except a few people on here, nobody really knows anything about it yet. However, I will say that I will start a topic about it soon!

Looks very cool!!!

Wow, alot of "Game Maker" people around here!

Sounds good, I'll play it soon.

Qloof234 · Post by **Qloof234** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 9:02 pm

Looks cool. I really need to decide on if I should get Game Maker ornot.

maxnick · Post by **maxnick** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 9:02 pm

You should post a demo It looks fun!!!

Blast!10 · Post by **Blast!10** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 9:06 pm

I agree with everyone here. Game looks freakin' awesome.

One comment though: As far as I know, it's illegal to edit the sprites that came with the Game Maker package. You can use them, but not edit them. However, you can get me as a spriter at any time.

EDIT: @Qloof: Yes, I highly recommend Game Maker. Remember, it has LOTS, and I mean LOTS of hidden secrets which can give you almost unlimited power. Plus, it's extremely easy to figure out. (As I said before on Skype, it took me 30 seconds to make a game with a movable ghost in GM, while in MMF2 I spent seven months realizing how to add an object.

)

It's illegal to edit Game Maker sprites?

The only Game Maker sprites I used in this was the walls, brown blocks, and the player as far as I know.

Lots of games use edited Game Maker sprites. I'll give credit to Game Maker for the sprites, then.

Here's Demo 1.

Please post comments, critisism, and suggestions.

CREDITS TO GAME MAKER FOR THE SPRITES FOR THE WALL, PLAYER, AND BROWN BLOCKS!!!

ALSO, CREDIT TO TOONTOWN FOR THE MUSIC!!! (TTC Forums say that you can use their music as long as you give them credit.)

(I might change the wall sprites in a later demo.)

DOWNLOAD DEMO 1 HERE!

Oh phew. Because I made lots of games with those.

Blast!10 · Post by **Blast!10** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 9:46 pm

Actually I think it is illegal. I read somewhere.

The game is pure epicness. I found 2 secret blue thingies.

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 9:47 pm

Congrats on finding the secret blue thingies! There is one secret blue thingy in each level.

On Yoyo Games (Game Maker's website) I can see lots of edited blocks like the one in my game... AND THEY GOT ACCEPTED!!!

Then the base Game Maker sprites might be editable.

As long as you someone's idea without making money you are fine.

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 9:50 pm

Phew. It wasn't someones idea that I stole. I just edited some of Game Maker's sprites.

maxnick · Post by **maxnick** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 9:51 pm

DP but:

Is there a blue flashy thing in every level I found some and was wondering if there are more???

Great game!!!

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 9:53 pm

There is one blue flashy thing in each level. It is possible to get all of the blue flashy things and exit safely.

Since you guys like the game so much, I'll let you in on the planned features of Demo 2 in a minute.

maxnick · Post by **maxnick** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 9:59 pm

Ok!!!

BTW The blue flashy thing in the first level was very clever

EDIT:

I'm having trouble finding the second blue flashy thing... any hints???

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:04 pm

Here are the features for Demo 2 that I currently have planned:

-15 more levels
-A blue colored Tumbler that chases you
-The floating text tells you the name for those flashy things
-At the end, the amount of blue flashy things that you got is displayed under the blue flashy thing for more neatness
-At the end, the game tells you how to exit properly
-Possibly a green colored Tumbler that bounces around through the walls towards you
-Possibly more key colors

And maybe some other stuff once if I think of more.

EDIT: Maxnick, for the second blue flashy thing...

Look for fake walls by the exit.

I really like this game!!!!!

You did a great job with the music and puzzles! I can't wait for more!

Just one thing... Can you make it so that the player can chose either windowed or full screen?

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:23 pm

Yes. To change to windowed mode, press F4.

After every 15 levels, the music changes.

Also, THIS PROJECT IS FLYING!!!

I improved the end.

I'm going to start making the levels for Demo 2 next.

Does the counter for the blue flashy things look better?

jdl · Post by **jdl** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:42 pm

Thank you.

The blue thingy counter looks better now!

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:43 pm

Good!

I've started making the levels for Demo 2.

I have already finished making 1 level. 14 more to go!

I'm going to try to put in new stuff every few levels so people don't get bored.

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 11:09 pm

4 new levels finished.

I have finally given a name to those flashy squares!

The green ones are called Wurps and the blue ones are called Collectable Wurps!

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 11:40 pm

TP.

I MADE A RED KEY!!!

And I'm not telling what it does.

Sammy_Bro · Post by **Sammy_Bro** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 11:59 pm

A red key...
A red arrow...
Ah-HA!

It makes the arrow appear!

Oh snap, are you going to make a green key that opens the Wurps?

Or, your can add lifes and HP!

Or, you can add power-ups!

Or, you can add a Continue thingy to get back to the level you were on!

Or, you can add a Main Menu!

Or, you can add a Level editor!

Yeah yeah, you can do all of those.

jdl · Post by **jdl** » Sun Aug 09, 2009 12:01 am

Wow, that's a LOT to do!

(Although a Level Editor WOULD be nice...

)

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sun Aug 09, 2009 12:03 am

I already have the "Continue thingy". Your game saves automatically when you get to a new level. Then, when you play again, you can load the game!

8 levels to go before Demo 2 is released.

The red keys actually make white walls!

Hmm... Any suggestions for what a red Wurp would do?

LittleZbot · Post by **LittleZbot** » Sun Aug 09, 2009 12:07 am

How about when you turn yourself into a Red Block it drops another Red block?

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sun Aug 09, 2009 12:10 am

Good idea!

*Gets an evil idea for an evil level that when you turn into a brown block, there are lots of red Wurps from above that rain down brown blocks.*
