MIRAK'S PROFILE

Am i seeing things or when you climb the stairs of the bridge you move diagonally and upwards? How is that possible? D:

That certainly looks interesting. Can't wait to see it in action actually.

After some consideration, i decided to change my music format from MIDI to ogg.
I was kinda bummed by doing this because i wanted to use midi, but after some browsing in the forums i realized most people have an irrational hatred towards MIDI and i don't want my game to get points deducted from it just because i used that format.

I wasted another valuable day replacing midi instruments with the best quality soundfonts i could find and exporting to .ogg, importing an extension in game maker that allowed me to actually use the oggs and replace all the events i had made that dealed with midi music with codes for handling the oggs.

Most of the audio system is finished though, so at least that's that.

I love drunk UNO but those hour-long games can seriously kill the buzz.
It should be an unspoken rule that if enough time has passed, you should not place a +2 or a +4 to a person who just screamed "UNO".

Screenshot? I'm curious. :P

I spent today's free time composing the songs for level 1 and 2. I wanted to compose the game over music too but i'm too tired.

I love midi. Even if it's a format almost no one uses anymore it is one of my favorites to compose. You don't need to worry about having the right instruments, or a wide selection of good quality vsts or soundfonts, you have the same instruments at all times and you just have to pick the ones you like and go nuts.

From New to RM?

How do I submit a game?
Click on the "Submissions" tab on the tool bar at the top of any RMN Page and select "Submit game." You will be given the opportunity to create a game profile. You cannot add a game download until your game is approved. You are required to upload at least 3 in-game screenshots of decent quality. To do this, after submitting your game, click on the "Submissions" tab and edit your gameprofile submission, and then go to the image section to upload screenshots. You also need to have a well-written description of at least 500 letters.

What are the submission guidelines?
Demo/Full Game submissions require at least 1 paragraph, 4-5 sentences long, explaining your project. 500 characters at minimum. Often, if all you submit is a list of features and credits but no actual content about the game itself, you will be asked to add more.

Your game will also require at least three screenshots showing images of your game - in the game. Your game won't even go into the submission queue until three screens are loaded. Your game has a screenshot gallery built into it. All you need to do is add the screenshots! We only support JPEG and PNG screenshots. BMPs and others are not allowed. The screenshots need to have variety - three screenshots of one location isn't counted as three screenshots. Title screens, splash screens, map art, character art and sample maps do not count toward your screenshot total (but are certainly allowed).

Your game must meet certain standards of quality. These standards are fairly subjective and arbitrary, but in general your game should have proper spelling and grammar, have a decent grasp of game mechanics, be free of any obvious game-breaking bugs and mapping needs to be at least decent.

As for how long it takes, i was told it takes 2 weeks at most.
