Adon Project (Alpha) - Gameplay Demo 02 (Inferno Core Zone 1) - Indie Game 2011

This is the first level of the 4th world of the game I've been working on for several months (about 800+ hours of work). I'm about halfway to finish it.

This zone features heat distortion, dynamic contrast system, rope/chain physics simulation (Verlet integration), 8-star filter, bloom, god rays.

==FEEDBACK!==
I'm a 1 person team so motivation and feedback are very important to me, since I'm putting lots of effort in making it.
If you like it or have some positive or constructive criticism, drop me a line! :)

Whoa! Very impressive! :D I had no idea one could make something like this with a tool like game maker. Instant sub!

[NeatWolf]

@Zeptoflop Thank you! :) Well, I somehow found a few limits in using it, but the good part is that I could focus on developing the game instead of writing the engine :)

I'm totally going to buy GameMaker Studio!

Beautiful graphics my friend. I am very impressed.

@mechloregame Thank you, you're doing one great job as well! Anyway, the video here is a bit outdated, I've improved all the tiles with displacement mapping ;) (prerendered, of course)

On the Facebook page there are a few samples of it, if you're curious :)

[AnimalCrossingX]

Oh wow...That looks absolutely amazing!

[NeatWolf]

@AnimalCrossingX Doin' my best! :) Thanks for the positive feedback, motivation is crucial in getting the game finished! ;)

Jesus, this is only several months' work? Terrific. Easily in the top five WIPs I've ever seen made in GM.

Thumbs up! This is an amazing looking GameMaker project! Seriously...I have so many questions on how you achieved many of these effects I don't even know where to begin. But most of all I can't wait to play this!

[NeatWolf]

@MoltenMustafa Thank you! :)

Yes, I'm heavily using surfaces ;)

Some for the static shadows, some for the god rays effect, some for the bloom, some for the retina persistence effect, some for the trails, and also some for the heat distortion+8star filter effect. It's a simple scanline effect, you just have to offset the surface of a few pixels every couple of rows. The resolution of the game isn't very high so it's still feasible :)

Wonderful graphics. How do you handle heat distortion in Game Maker? Surfaces? I must say, I'm impressed.
