Gaming So I've made a game...

[AlanJohn]

I must say that I much preferred the music in the first version. It might've felt a bit more aggressive, but in the second one it's just a tad bit too mild for my taste. That being said, it's fun to see you working on a game

The music is the same in both versions. The thing is, I left my headphone virtualization on when recording the first gameplay vid, also my mixer volume was lower when recording the second video.
If you enjoyed the OST check out this track I made some time ago, I haven't made the boss battle for it yet. https://clyp.it/tu5ogd3f

Your choice of music style greatly reminds me of Electronic Super Joy which is a game I absolutely adore for its music so if you just keep making the gameplay lovelier I'm sure it'll turn out great.

Wow, arrow keys in this days and age? You retro, man!

Where do I play the newer version?

My favourite thing about both revisions of your game is that the worlds and enemy sprites genuinely look great compared to the amazingly lacklustre protagonist

Anyway, this is really cool dude. The music sort of reminds me of the good 'ole days of Knight Rider

Hey guys! Just wanna you all a quick update on what's going on with my project.
I'm finally done with my exams, this means I have more time to develop the game. I have already changed a lot of things in the engine, tweaked the character movement, fixed some hitboxes here and there and also added a new weapon + new enemy, with much more to come soon!

E3 is coming soon, and I need to make sure the game looks good and plays well for the open beta! If you want to join the closed beta, send me a PM. Currently Alien John is Windows only, but if you have a mac with an Apple Dev subscription contact me too so I can make a proper OSX port. No new video this week, since the additions are mostly in the second area which I wouldn't like to spoil.

This is so crudely drawn.
I love it.

Welcome to the glorious world of Game Development! Wahaha!
Very nice for your first project. Keep learning! It feels especially great when you get to the point where your creativity isn't limited because you know the ins and outs of everything. That's an awesome feeling, lemme tell you that, the ability to do anything. It's quite satisfying.

I look forward to it, I always like seeing homemade games.

After looking back at my videos, I decided that it's time to give a little update on how my game is going, since the previous vids are quite outdated and don't really resemble the game I'm working on now that much
Basically I've added a lot more new features to the game, including a 16:9 resolution mode which can easily be toggled to switch back to 4:3 or even 21:9 (take that, AM2R!). That's not the only addition, though. Hopefully, this update video will show you more than I can describe!

EDIT: Audio seems to be out of sync, stupid fucking Shadowplay has this issue with gamemaker games and framerates and such. Sorry for the inconvenience!
