Obsolete Game Maker Examples
|
The solid engine seen in my modern SuperDanny titles. The list of features is
quite substantial, and it provides a
good jump-start to making a quality Mega Man game. Though for as solidly as it plays, working with the engine itself can be a hassle
as I was still very inexperienced at the time. Only released by very popular demand, in fact, and wasn't built with public use in mind.
High level GM experience, GM Pro and perseverance are required.
Download comes with a playable demo, and you can see it in action here.
** I've never used it myself, but I recommend checking out the
Mega Engine
for a more modern, fully-featured and user-friendly alternative to this engine. **

A very basic and inaccurate Mega Man example with a simple movement engine, enemies, energy bar, etc.

most basic functions, so it's better for basic learning than serious use.
