Infinity Squadron - Bosses - Game Maker

Try the demo here: http://www.yoyogames.com/games/show/86899

This is a video showing the new build of my Game Maker project Infinity Squadron. This video shows some of the early boss style enemies I have created so far.

Infinity Squadron is a top down shmup with an 8 bit coat of paint. The aim is to survive as long as possible against increasingly tough and randomly selected waves of enemies. Survive long enough and the game will throw bosses into the mix. There is no end to the mayhem with the only goal being to achieve a highscore.

I'm actuallt making a game of that time (I'm still a bit beginner though) and my player won't shoot when i go Down-Right and Up-Left diagonal directions. Shots are created when spacebar is held and configuration for movements is:

"Left" Event: (Script) x -= 4

and so on for other sides. Could you help me with that please ?

@xXOpkillerXx Try changing the fire key from space to something else. I don't know if it's a game maker, a keyboard or a computer thing but sometimes the spacebar doesn't register when multiple other keys are held down at once.

@mrmonkeyman79

Thanks it worked, i now use "F" key.

But now I'm stuck at writing the text such as score and lives.

I try using 'draw_text(16,576,"Score:")' in a "Create" event script for my Player [i set color at white right before] and nothing seems to appear. Even with that, I can't figure how I would display the actual score value. :O

@xXOpkillerXx All drawing actions should go in the 'draw' event

D:< I hate that play now button on the yoyo games website, it never works!!! do you know why?

[mrmonkeyman79]

@P1ER3 - Don't know what the issue is with the Play Now button - never use it myself. Just use the download option to the right of the comments section on the yoyogames page

how do you fire bullets

[bandaloo1]

That is a lot of creat events.

[Acolyptor]

Wow, this was very amusing.

I like your boss design, and I also liked the retro style look with the bullet-hell attribute.
