Game Maker Tips: Working with tiles

[Jaden1291]

Hey thank you mr. Game Maker master!

[ExistUNDRGROUND]

Please Help! my collision objects are appearing above the tiles! How do I fix it?

[ninjatakedow]

WHY THE MUSIC!?!?!?

[SuperPhazonSamus]

songs name please n nice tutorial

[xetrius]

why don't you use a code to left the game decide what sub-image should be used in the corresponding situation

[awesomesaucedgame]

What are your tile settings? my tiles arent in the good shape they should have my settings are 24x24 what are yours? :(

[LordApocalyptica]

@awesomesaucedgame Generally Game maker uses 16x16 grid blocks (I think) Any multiple of that and it should look fine.

[BreinStijn]

Placing tiles sucks :(

[JohnConnor365]

How did you make the background on top of the object?

[lelmadasarys]

Thx a lot, after playing your game I've decided to make my own fan game and am learning how to do GML now. :)

[AlessioDel1992]

A Metroid game (which it is complicated itself) with game maker would be extremely amazing, the real problem is not the difficulty of making stuff like that, but the time and the patience it takes... which i do not own right now X-\

[iamLI3]

oh man , i only wish i cloud make stuff like this , you make it look soooo easy :/ , where's it took 2 tries for more than an hour to finally figure out how to get past the tutorial :( .....

[TheWilliamMaster]

how did you expand the game maker play? it would only go to a tiny screen instead of how big the room is

[STHbiggestfan]

I'm new to this, just started game maker. New to sprites and everything. Im trying metroid stuff so maybe you could help (GM8).

[DonDiego500000]

It takes a whole lifetime to make a simple room... Lol

[themetroidsuper]

you make me confident for my fangame because of your am2r project and how you use gamemaker for is and that im 10 so i don't know much.keep up the good work.maybe nintendo would publish it.

[steverhein]

Wow! Your engine is looking awesome! I can't wait to play it!

[steverhein]

Thanks! I've been trying to figure out how to do all this. My tiles will look awesome now!

[EVILROBOTNIKMASTER4]

[MrILOVEBEINGPURPLE]

How do you make a metroid game like this, I am not a good coder..... I have also been wanting to make a zelda game

[virgildog1950]

looks great, although it is possible (I have done it before) to make a code algorithm that does all of this for you...

[rangerinline]

Well played sir. Truly you are a master of your craft. It looks just like a metroid environment from the official games. As always, looking forward to am2r.

[nagacool1]

how did you get all those sprites i cant find any metroid sprites plz halp D:

[metalshadowoverlord]

Why does my character keep falling through the tiles?! I've been going nuts fiddling with everything trying to get it to work!

[djrach52]

[cr0nt0]

[MarbleScratch]

Thanks for the tips.

[lDGlHax0r]

I'm working on a Metroid Game under the influence of this game and I would like my game to be as good as this one one day. I'm really jealous and when I see some game so awesome and then I see behind the scenes it's just the same old Game Maker I use, that encourages me, good job.

[DN4lifeman]

How do u make the diagonal slopes?

[idpaul]

this video is excellent. Where can i get the program cus i want to try it

[Rockmirth]

could you plz show me collisions on this would really like to know. good tut 5/5

[DKC1011]

really good tutorial :)

[0MrENigma0]

Very Nice!

[Roopfert]

tiles are so not fun they take forever

[nahuel31]

Super Metroid rules, you're good at using Game Maker, and this game looks freaking awesome. Really good job, man. I would love to see a website with your tutorials. :)

[BoneCrusher3333]

I WILL BUY IT!!! ILL BUY SAMUS FOR $30.00, copyright and brick designs!

[techdeckh2o]

Could you make a tutorial on how to make samus?

[delmis123]

you did this with game maker right?if so,which version did you use,and what all do you need to make a game like that ?

[GeorgeSoui]

oohh!!

I like this! :)

[anixXninjaXprototype]

what software is this?

[0MrENigma0]

GameMaker

[Vondy56]

wow that is really impressive any idea when your project might be done cause i am really dieing to play it and is it gonna be a program based game like confronation or are you gonna try to rom it?

[neoman289151]

what is the program used?

[0MrENigma0]

GameMaker

[Illyea]

I think it's better to lay the collision objects after you lay the tiles. This way you design the look of the level first then place the solids instead of the other way around.

[endlent]

cool waht program pls :)

[sethiroth100]

Game maker. Google YoYoGames for the site.

[Twitch8965]

is there anyway to download all of this to the point where we can do level designs and have samus with all her animations?

I have gamemaker 7.

[Nyarlathoteplol]

What song is this?

[GeorgeSoui]

little beat of drum...XD

[jubjub250]

whats the base engine he modifyed

[XxDregonxX]

He started with Martin Piecyk´s platform engine, and customized it to add all the Metroid abilities. You can google search, Martin Piecyk, to find his site, and the platform engine will be in the Game Maker section on that site.

[fogosona]

so... the super metroid for SNES I enjoyed too much was done this way... intersting...

i can imagine how complex is to develop a game today, althout we have the apropriete tools(sorry my english)

all the best for all and a message: Protect the enviroment...

[kenjiimatake]

I find this part of game making awesome, one of my favorite parts actually. this video taught me a thing or 2 before I got started on my demo a month or so back.... it turned out so awesome! thanks Dr.M64 for this tutorial!

[Twixgtx]

im wondering, how come when i rip the tile sheets on vba, it comes out to where the tiles are 8x8 and when i make so that it it uses 16x16 it comes out weird? did you just cut and paste until you got the right tile's or am i doing something wrong?

[Twixgtx]

i just found out how to make my own tiles. it's realy fun, but i don't think i will copy and paste anymore

[BlackFox0]

one of the best tutorials i have ever seen about gamemaker. most gamemaker tutorials are so crappy i cant believe they actually posted it on youtube :P

[omegaxis2]

wat program is it yur using=/

[OmegaManZX]

Game Maker.

[MysteryXIII]

do you know what version. or does it matter?

[OmegaManZX]

I have no idea.

[TLoZNarutofan]

You custom designers are awesome!!

I've tried something like this, Its not easy...

[nemisis122]

im having a prob my samus char i can walk but when i turn right i cant turn back to left sprite of samus?

[grayfox189]

Oh nvm but it looked like it

[grayfox189]

Is that RPG maker VX?

[XxXShadowlessXxX]

that video is an example for a level design developpment and not "game design"

but it's ok for game maker I guess

[guugolpl0x]

Can't you just make a custom tiling engine for GM? It saves serious time.

[metroidfusion14]

dude you are awesome im a huge metroid fan

[Scatmanfan45]

can u plzz tell me where to get the metroid sprites

[omegaxis2]

their are plent of places 4 sprites.I get mine from metroid fan mission,and shy guy kingdom

[whereismarty]

Hi. Is that gamemaker ?  .. if not what is it ? Thx

[DoctorM64]

It's Game Maker. I guess I mentioned it too briefly in the video description.

[IvoryGecko1993]

@DoctorM64 Hey. Nice job! I can't wait to see the finishing touches to AM2R. Just one question: Will this game after you kill the Queen Metroid a planetary eruption after Samus sees the Larva. before the duo reach the first shaft, a cutscene occurs, letting the player know that Samus, and the Larva have five minutes before part of SR388 is flooded with molten magma that Samus' Gravity Suit isn't immune to.

[MrPingasProductions]

@DoctorM64  Where can i getthe scripts?

[xCYBERKIDx]

how do i make samus stand run jump look up ect in one object,i dont understand how to do this.

[xCYBERKIDx]

superb,how or where do you get the tiles,do you rip them out of the game or do you just simply download them from a site?

[DoctorM64]

I ripped the tiles using Visual Boy Advance and Paint Shop Pro. There aren't many complete tilesets on the net, so I ripped and arranged my own.

[xCYBERKIDx]

cool

[imabadspeler]

How do you make the room be bigger then what the box displays when you test it, if that makes any sence. D:

[DoctorM64]

The game runs with a 320x240 viewport. The room can be any size, so the camera follows the character without too many transitions.

In the room editor, just enable a view and make it smaller than the room size.

[imabadspeler]

Would i have to have pro for that? because im kinda confused on what you are saying.

[InstantMix]

I don't know how to make tile "sheets" Any explanation how?

[InstantMix]

Stuff that. Figured out how.

Would this sound gay but : Could I borrow the basics of the engine? I'm using GMLite and well , My character sucks. so does the coding. I tried doing sprite replacements via GMLang. although the things don't make sense; Index , ImgNumb etc.

It won't be for a M2 Remake anyway.

Let's just say :

Mr. Space Pirate's Adventure on Zebeth. Well , The remake after Super Metroid's explosion.

[oneminutekid]

Oh... My... God... F**K that swas awesome!!! I know I am very inferior to your Game Maker skill, but, could you possibly help me in making my Metroid game?

[Kargaroc286]

me too PLZ!

[jayti83]

Cool! I've allways wondered about how you did that, I mean; making the game =D

[mirasame]

Nice informative video. I'm really looking forward to the Metroid II remake. It was a great game back then and the remake looks super good now. Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming!

[AmazingAaron1]

Nice tutorial you should make more!

[Flash19l11]

This is like your level editor?

[DoctorM64]

This is Game Maker´s room editor.

[Flash19l11]

Wow, I cant believe you just spoke to me +_+. The guy who is making this game has spoken to ME. I have the feeling you are a god, and that god said something to me +_+.

[complex0252001]

Nicely done man...

[DoctorM64]

Thanks! I just documented something I was going to do anyway.
