[Dragonstar] Game Maker Help Needed: Player Collision
making the collision conditionals match the gravity (i.e. checking if there's a collision at 0,2 instead of 0,1) solved it for me, though there is kind of a floating issue i can't figure out right at this moment. i also deleted the set vertical speed commands in release-left and release-right.
also, as an aside, you're running way too many instances for it to be viable on a large scale. your main problem with the instances is that all the ground pieces are represented as objects - if you make your ground sprites into tiles and then just make some generic collision solids for your character to run into, you'll probably cut the instance count down by 1/2 or more.
you also may want to pick up GML - in the end, you'll be able to do a lot more and it'll be a lot simpler. it's hard to really tell what's going on in this with D&D and it'll just get more and more complicated the more you add to it.

Indie Game: The Movie

...I totally lost the concept of the word hipster... what is actually a hipster?
there is no concept. the word's become a cudgel.
Pricing of indie games
i've been collecting my thoughts on this and might (might) post later but i just want to say that if you're an indie developer who sells commercial games and you're not a customer service paragon, you are wasting your one advantage over the big guys.
Going commercial?
-Do you make games for money?
apparently. i think there's a difference between "making games for money" and "making games where money is a by-product" because the former implies that the pursuit of money is the main goal. it's not. the main goal is being able to support myself on what i do. the quote isn't "money is the root of all evil," the quote is "the love of money is the root of all evil." i don't love money. it's pretty cut and dry when you break it down.
-Given the chance, would you work on commercial games?
yes, with a caveat: i do not intend, and will never intend, to work for any large video game company. i disabused myself of that notion long ago.
-Do you aspire to make games for money one day?
already doing it. baby steps.
-Why would you NOT make games for money?
collaborations and small, experimental projects are nice to release every once in a while! they serve as portfolio builders as well as a nice treat for fans that follow your games.
also quoting this because it's fuckin' true

game design school is a waste of time and money when human beings in the indie scene are making splashes. 1 course of college could probably pay for 1 indie game. i find it staggering how people will spend thousands of american dollars to go to digipen only to end up handing sandwiches to blizzard employees when they could have taken that 1% of money from school to create a project with full creative freedom.
god save the games.
Need assistance in removing 'artifacts' from a transparent image
Need assistance in removing 'artifacts' from a transparent image
you need a graphics program that can feather, invert, and expand selections in order to do this. here's my attempt.
there are artifacts left over, but it's a lot cleaner than it was. you'll have to manually go over the image and remove these artifacts.

right now i'm beginning the prep work for my engine open-source. among other things, everything needs to adhere to a standard naming convention, and i'm still trying to figure out how to deal with that. also a lot of features need to go through a massive restructure in order to be useful to people who are not me. but i can still do it!
