Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game This is a work of art. I know I've read in different game making articles that game making is not an art, but I do think that is art. It is beautiful in it's simplicity, lack of violence, creativity, and sense stimulation. The lava fall was what got me hooked. Listening to the lava flow get closer made me wonder was was coming next. You did a superb job. How long did this take you to complete? It is simply lovely. My favorite platformer/adventure period.

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game Atmospheric, original graphics, interesting game, very complete - six months well spent! Very intuitive too. I am also happy to see somebody is putting JBFMOD to good use - including fade-outs where you need to stop the music. Very nice finishing touches! Wish more people would spend so much time on finalising their game. And: Ahhhh, Sanxion - an old favourite from the good old 8-bit age from Rob Hubbard... Yes, those, were the days... Smarty |

Question Ok, I'm 75% done with game according to my save file. What exactly am I supposed to be doing? Do I have to collect EVERY little shiny thing? I figured out the Piano puzzle and every thing. I got to this big door, and it has a purple light lit up on it. I think I've gone every where there is to go. What am I supposed to do? Help? A small walk through maybe? HEHE? |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game Thanks for the comments, everyone. I don't want to post the solution to the piano puzzle here, as people who haven't even tried the game yet might read it. As for the goal of the game ... . .. ..well, collecting things IS a major part of it. For anyone who missed the instructions, you can press <space> at any time to see where you've been and what you have collected. There are a lot of secret things in this game, and the % _does_ reach 100. I'm glad you are enjoying it. |

Re: Great! Definately the best platform game I've ever played on GM. The game is so awesome to play because I wasn't worried about dying. When I saw fish, I got worried, and though, "Uh-oh! do I touch them or not!?" The graphics are simply astounding! Please, tell me, how did you get the water to ripple like that!? I'd love to know that! (I also had a blast swimming with teh fishes! ) All in all, wicked game. I'd give this game a 12/10. ^_^ Oh, but I didn't understand the why I wanted to pick up those floating... things. The driving force making me want to play the game was, "What is that? Wait, I don't care. I want it. Just gimme that. NO! MINE! Gimme THAT!" |

Re: Wow Ok, I haven't played much, but I can say for certain, that this is not only THE best game maker game I have ever played... it is one of the best games I ever played in my life! The graphices are beautiful, the music is excellent, and the gameplay is interesting. The only problem I've found is, I was in the volcano, and getting from the top of the chains and back onto the cliffs they hang from is a bit tricky. Anyway, I look forward to playing this later, but my stinky big brother wants to use the computer

Re: Cly5m,. it looks like ppl like it! Tarnation! I was worried from the moment I downloaded that the game wouldn't run fast enough on my PC. It was going fine till I reached the bowls of the underwater creature. Oh well... it's worth it playing at ultra slow speeds, 90 % of the game runs fine. I've played this game enough to give a rating, and despite some things I think could have been better they were very minor so I give it a 10/10 And those mod musicians deserve all the recognition they can get.

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game For those who got sick of getting eaten, if you take the right path, you don't get caught. The game is very non-linear, though. If you don't like that part, you can go several other places. But that's not the only annoying part in the game. :) For those with 80-90% and nowhere to go, I'm adding something that will help. Seeing the credits doesn't mean you've finished the game. :) Smarty - Yes, I am always surprised that more people don't use MODs--they are so much better than MIDI in things like GM games. Springymajig - Thanks for telling me about the volcano thing. I had that problem with all climbing parts originally, and I guess I forgot to fix that one room. If anyone else find bugs, please let me know. Damaged - I may add that option. In the end, I liked it best the size it is, but an 800x600 view area looks good too. Jph - I have tons of ideas for a sequel--had to stop myself on this game or I never would have released it--but I'm going to try some other things first. :) -- |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game Nice to see people are enjoying the game. I just posted an updated version (1.1) with a few very minor fixes, including the volcano room rope thing and (hopefully) the speed issue that Springymajig reported in the creature part. I also added better hints as to where the remaining items are after a certain point so people don't wander aimlessly forever and get bored. :) However, GM save games don't behave well when you change an EXE, so I guess those who are already pretty far along and don't want to risk having to start over should stick with version 1.0 and not get the new one until finished. Bocophobic - the water ripples are just animated objects created at the player's coordinates. When they reach a certain distance, they change into smaller ones and keep moving out. Dadio -Yes, I love C64 stuff. -- |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game Real fun. I still use 1.0 now at 82% and only 14 white ones left...very very hard to find... A few items; - When you start you have alredy 2%... and with only 14 whites + one golden to go 'only' 82%... where is the logic? - If you save a game, let's say in 'blue', and you restart there is no musik till you exit and go back.

. For those of you having trouble - You need to have a little patience. If you're stuck somewhere, try taking a different path. Chances are, you don't have something or haven't done something you need to do in order to go further. This applies for both the piano part and for the cave monsters. |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game Withaar - yes, I don't know how to make the music start when you load your game. A load_game event would be nice. :) The problem is that I use MODs with an external player. The % is a measurement of how many of the rooms in the game you have seen and the treasures you have collected. The initial 2% is for the room you start in. Tomate - I plan to submit the game to some sites once I'm SURE it's ready. I also need to move it somewhere other than my site or I could go broke paying for bandwidth. :) I have a place to put it, though. Pyro0 and others re: my next project - I have several in mind/in the works, but I don't like to announce them until they are pretty far along. But don't worry, I plan on making a lot of games now that I have finally found a program worthy of the effort. H0lx - Ma ei ole eestlane aga r��gin natukene eesti keelt.

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game Argh, it crashes loading for me. The loading part sucks up all my memory fnar, and then right as the game itself starts it gives an "Unexpected error occured when running the game." I think it's something to do with the mod-playing .dlls. Dlls for GM don't seem to be very trustworthy(the Ogg Vorbis ones I used for my game apparently caused some bluescreens)...if you could put up a version sans music I'd go and test that theory. On that note, I wish Mark would go and implement an internal music system with some more power/flexibility. |

Smarty Very Active User (8/21/03 9:15 am) |
Re: :) I think I can answer the part about playing music during the game loading. I don't think there will ever be an event of game_load. Because during the loading, GM is still busy parsing all objects and code. Parsing only a game_load script wouldn't work as it can have reference to other scripts that need be parsed too. Besides this, the loading of the game is a pretty processor-heavy procedure. Apart from all scripts checked and parsed, the whole game data is decrypted, decompressed and data is stored locally on disc for most of the multimedia files. Check your C:\WINDOWS\TEMP directory to see what's being saved during a game load. ReynardTFox: Are you by any chance owner of a genuine Sound Blaster card?

Sound card? Yes, I do have a genuine SB, specifically the original SB Live! from years ago... Would new drivers fix it? |
|
Smarty Very Active User (8/22/03 1:31 pm) |
Re: Sound card? Please give the updated drivers a try and let me know whether it works. Could save me some time. About two years ago when I released the JBFMOD package I had other Sound Blaster card owners report the same problem. I think it has something to do with the fact that SB is not comfortable with mixing the audio coming from two sources - FMOD and Game Maker itself. Other cards work perfectly. Recently I found out that it has probably something to do with the device driver and the output mixer it uses, but as I cannot reproduce the problem at home I need someone that can occasionally test a probe on his/her SB. Even if I find a way of fixing the problems I will have to rewrite JBFMOD, and anyone using it in their game will have to re-include it in the package. Smarty |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game For those who are stuck, the best hint I can give without giving anything away is this--didn't you see something somewhere that seemed like it may have been a clue? :) Reynard - I agree that it would be great if GM played MODs on its own. Sorry it's not working for you. Frosty - You need to collect certain items to finish the game. As long as you aren't disappointed by the game in the end, I suppose you could say it is of some use. :) fhd - Only the music uses an extra DLL. Smarty - I didn't realize it was you who made jbfmod.

SB and drivers... Actually, I'm kind of scared to try installing new drivers. The last time I did, it was torture to get them, they broke midi output and I had to go back to the old ones. That was like a year ago, and it doesn't seem like they've changed them since 2000. Maybe I ought to just get a new sound card(*investigates Pricewatch* *sees cards for under $10*). However, I'm sure that other GM dlls that support mods work for me x.x Well, if I ever go and replace the old card I'll be sure to try seiklus again. I like this style of game a lot. |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game dadiojagtooth - There's more to the game if you keep at it. :) Reynard - Sorry it doesn't work for you. I've had two other people report this error--I think both were on WinME. If that's what you have, maybe the problem is related to that OS. I should make a test build without music to see if that's the problem. Candyman - There are some hidden things, but no cheats. I disabled them after I finished testing. :) JLabs - I appreciate the offer, and you can distribute the game if you'd like, but I have a good website host for my primary copy of the game. -- |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game The problem Reynard has is a Sound Blaster problem only. Reynard, Download the latest FMOD.DLL from www.fmod.org and see whether that works. This update will not affect your soundcard driver installation. Replace the FMOD.DLL in the game's directory with the new one. This only works if Tapeworm didn't set to save that resource always (this is something he will have to answer). Smarty |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game Cool game, but you should be able to re-enter the sea monster's ass without having to go through those damn sand monster things again. One question though: How did you make those cool particle effects? I thought they were by far the best thing about the game! |
|
tapeworm Regular User (8/26/03 12:25 am) |
Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game Smarty and Reynard - The game doesn't overwrite the DLLs unless they are not found. So this solution may work. Let me know if you try it and the problem is solved. TheAnemic - Nothing really complicated about any of the particle effects. They are just small objects that I either sent off in random speeds and directions with gravity applied or in set directions with alarms to change direction slightly at random intervals. -- |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game I replaced fmod.dll and it still crashed, but in a completely different way this time. Loaded up OK, but then I get a black screen and cursor, can't alt-tab out, but killing the program brings back the desktop and everything still seems to work. Yes, I am running ME. I plan on replacing it *ahem* with XP once I bring this box out to the university and get my high-speed connection, so that I can download i--the patches for XP quickly. ^.^ So we'll see if that has an effect in a few weeks. |

Re: Wow Reynard, if it doesn't, can I get you to test an alternate approach for the SB live problem? I have a few ideas on how this problem may be fixed, but I need someone with an SB that can test a GMD with DLLs for me. As you know I can't reproduce the problem. I still think it is SB related but maybe XP has a different hardware approach. Thanks for considering, Smarty |

Re: SB solution Reynard T Fox: Thanks for your offer. If you could send me a mail on [email protected] to get me your E-mail address I can send you a copy as soon as it's done. Don't worry, file size will be comparatively small (I will send GMDs with DLLs only). Tapeworm: The problem is definately related to genuine Sound Blaster cards, but I do not know whether it is solved with Windows XP installed. The workaround I use for one of my current projects is set a Test registry setting before initialising JBFMOD which is cleared after a successful start. If the game crashes in between the reg-key remains set. Next time when the game starts it tests for this reg-key and will skip initialising and playing with JBFMOD when it is set. This way the game will only crash once. It's not too smooth, but it's a workable solution as I do not have a method to retrieve the sound card brand and type. And even if I would know the soundcard type I would still like to try playing music on it. I know it would be unfortunate to miss the music in your game, but as far as I can guess it has no other purpose than adding an atmospherical touch which Sound Blaster users will have to do without.

Re: SB solution The Sound Blaster problem seems to be a pretty serious one imho... 'cos the music for this game adds so much to the experience...

.....huh...??? This has got to be one of the weirdest games that I've ever played. Absolutely nothing makes sense; I dunno why a meteor knocked me off the cliff and away from my girl, I dunno why a giant hawk keeps dragging me to a volcano, I dunno why it's so snowy underneath that volcano, I dunno why I'm breaking giant vases, I dunno why I'm swimming inside a gigantic monster, I dunno why I'm collecting these colored thingies, I dunno why vertical-walking hippos keep knocking me off, and I sure as hell don't know what the true ending means and whether it was the right thing to do (poor girl of mine And yet, I love this game! It's very very very well made and it's quite fun too despite all the weirdness. I walked around, jumped around, explored everything, saw everything, and finally got 100%; it was all so damn satisfying... ...and after all that, I was left with a question. Should I just return to my girl, or should I work for 100%, leave her behind, and go for the true ending? It was either my girl or total game completion..... Or maybe I'm just thinking too much into this game |

Re: .....huh...??? Baby Bonnie Hood - There is a story behind a lot of it--I just decided to go minimal and not tell it. :) But don't worry--the 'true' ending is the first one.

0i I played about 36% of the game, I really enjoy most of it. The main character looks like those white things on princess mononoke. The game did give me a feeling that I was in a strange world, and I felt intimidated. **** complaints I would preffer , a jump button , unstead of pressing up Maybe add names to the locations I am in like "underground cavern" "Volcano slide" A small metroid like map or something. and something esle to be able to use.... this game is like a boy and his blob for the (nes) so, it needs something like the blob It's my 50 cent on it, I am just in need of more action. BTW- the graphics are so simple, that when I came across the water ripple effect, for a second there , I thought I was playing a ps2 game. I would love to remake the sprites for the little white guy.. If you like trust me I wont dissapoint |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game I recently uploaded another revision (1.2), but those who have played the game through don't need to bother with it. The only really significant change is to how the end credits are presented. scam ent and dremann - I think it is always better to use your own stuff. I always prefer seeing sprites that someone has drawn themselves that ones taken from another game, even if they are simple or rough. I'd prefer you didn't copy mine directly. hisho123 - There should be background music--I guess it may not work on all machines. Let me know what you're running it on if you get a chance. dhelfin - I had gone back and forth on several of the issues you mentioned. I did use a metroid-like map scheme (press space) but I assume you know about that and meant that I should add area names to the map. Appreciate the offer to redraw the guy, but he looks pretty much how I intended him to--though I know I am not the best animator by any means. :) This was my first game in GM. .. .. my future projects will probably be more intricate. A Boy and His Blob was a major influence for this game. :) takagi - I've only had people on Linux (WINE) report that animation error before. I'll have to test it out. deadheatGM - One of my goals was to make the game completely non-violent and exploration-oriented. You'll have to wait for my future games if you want bosses and more action. :) -- |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game Dremann - Yes, I've liked that sort of music for years. I'm thinking of composing my own soundtrack for the game, but it feels like that will take as long as the rest of the game combined. :) Daemos - I have a lot of projects going on right now, so I don't think I could jump into a new one completely. Did you mean a team up or just that you need help with code or graphics or something? scam ent - Sure, you can look at my sprite animation. Thought you meant you wanted to use my character in another game. Though walking animation is one of my weak areas, I think. Fairagorn - I have lots of sequel ideas, but I don't think that will be right away. :) General note: I've had several people contact me about possible collaborations. Sorry if I've seemed rude in declining invitations, but I have a couple GM projects going on already, not to mention work and school. :) Also, several people have asked for my source code--I'm considering that, but I'm not ready to release it at this point.

re Wow great game. I loved it! One of the few GM games that are really worth downloading. I got 100% Anyway for all those that got to the girl: the game is far from being complet even if it seems complete. You can reach places with the W key (once it has been enabled) that you couldn't without. Tapeworm: You should really tell people how to get to the room with the moving black circle. I only found it by accident and can't find any clue that would have told me that it's there where it is. Perhaps you could make the stair somehow a little visible. And I found one really minor bug: When you jump to the right and the charachter lands there is first one frame of the him looking to the left and then he looks to the right. If you jump to the left he directly looks to the left. Lok good at his eyes and you'll see what I mean. |

Great Game! Hi, I just played the demo and was amazed! I wanted to ask you something though. I'm making a game called Nightmare Forest. I'm a graphics artist and I have all the sprites I will need for the whole game. The only problem is, I don't have a very good actual game because I'm not a good programmer. Would it be possible for you to send me your seiklus example (.gmd) so I could use it as a base for my game? If you send it to me, I wouldn't use any of your sprites (replace all the sprites with the ones I made) and I would put your name in the credits in flashing lights and arrows pointing to it! I just need a good base to work off of. Thanks. Email: [email protected] -Sam |

Windows ME / SB Live issue Thanks to some testing done with the help of Reynard T Fox, I can at least confirm that Windows ME might have problems using JBFMOD. At first I thought it was a Sound Blaster Live problem but now it seems related to Windows ME in particular. For now, under Windows ME the problem seems to be memory management. Apparently ME doesn't appreciate blocks of memory being reserved in the way it's done by JBFMOD (although I am quite sure I'm using proper methods). Any people that get an unexpected error when starting Tapeworm's game, please report this and state sound card brand and your operating system. Thanks! Tapeworm: Apologies for using the post about your game for getting response on this issue, but the popularity of Seiklus might get me the input I need. Smarty |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game .. .. . and I thought this topic had died. Thanks for the comments, all. jazzuo - I thought about that as I was making it--the meaningless part. In another game, you might do the same basic stuff but fight enemies along the way--even identical respawning enemies. With that element removed, it seems to have less meaning as a game somehow. Wonder why that is. I mainly play games for their aesthetic value, and 'challenge' often doesn't figure in as a criterion. I don't mean this as an argument, just think it's an interesting question to consider. :) Dr. Voodoo - thanks for the comments. I'll consider making that hint more obvious and I'll test out the 'bug.' samkel88 - I'm not distributing the GMD at this point. But actually, I used Mark O's platform tutorial as a basis in the first place. I think those are more useful as learning tools than my game--the GMD is actually pretty chaotic in parts, and I used straight code for almost everything (though I started out with just icons and learned as I went along). Daemos and Springymajig - I'd give the same hint I give for just about anyone stuck anywhere--didn't you see something somewhere that may have been a clue? :) Smarty - thanks for researching that. I had it basically narrowed down to WinME too. But of course I know nothing of the technical stuff. -- |

Re: re: seiklus Just adding my voice to the chorus commending you on creating an excellent game! With respect to the song issue on load game, possibly you could have a room specific object check if the song is playing in the step event and turn it on if needed. I don't know if this is possible with the MOD DLL, probably not, or you likely would have done that. It would also be nice if you could shut the music off as an option. So far I have been using midi for my project, but you have got me looking into mods... Lamefaker |

just wanted to say hi hi 1) i havent used my ezboard account in more than a year. It took me 2 days and about 1 hour or more combined to remember/hack/figureout my old password 2) yeah, that was easier than just registering some new nick 3) i've gone throught all that trouble (keep in mind i'am a lazy bastard) just to tell You THIS GAME IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES I HAVE EVER PLAYED! ... and I've been playing computer games for 20 years Weird hand made graphics, mood, nonviolent aproach, sound - everything is great. Anyone fooling around with GM can see how much time and effort was put into details and finishing it. Thanks for the great game. 4) the thing that reminded me the most about was little big adventure aka relentless aka twinsens adventure both in music and mood. I have gone through your site in detail (just to see what is there<;) --> ) and was suprised You didnt mention it anywhere... so: a few links: someones page about it: www.geocities.com/TimesSq...ngar/7858/ few screenshots (though they dont tell about how great this game is): www.geocities.com/TimesSq...ctures.htm some download links (didnt tried them, I have the game): www.abandongames.com/games.php?id=1075 edit: i have tried them, only this one works: gamebird.dk/games/communi...p/?gid=242 there seems to be the problem with sound (strange coincidence, huh <0] --> ), but this is DOS game (1996 or something), there is a rumour about windows patch... 5) i rumbled about this other game so much because I wanted to repay for great gaming experience with this info, and thus give You a great gaming experience - I feel 100% sure You are going to love LBA 6) LBA 1 is better than LBA 2 imho 7) Repetition: Seiklus is great, anyone reading this download it and play it, its worth every byte even on a slow connection P.S. I plan to open my self PayPal account. GM is reason no1, SpyBot search&destroy no2, seiklus is no3... just an empty promise, but You never know<;) --> Edited by: b0r1s at: 9/12/03 10:12 pm |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game Thanks for the comments, everyone. samkel88 - I don't know whether it is a useful tutorial overall. I just copied the code for the character object and the blocks to start out. I changed things as I went along and learned GM, of course, but the basic mechanics are still about the same. Springymajig - If you like Radix (the guy who composed yoghurt factory and rainy summerdays), he has a lot of other work. You can find some of it on my page here: www.autofish.net/cell7/music.html. I also have lots more that isn't on that page, if you're interested. :) b0ris - I downloaded Relentless and found the Windows patch, but have not been able to get it working yet on Win2000. I may have to try it out on an older machine. Thanks for the recommendation--I'll be sure to play it. -- |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game Thanks for the feedback, all. To those talking about buying and selling--This game is and will remain free for several reasons. But as I said in the TXT file, if you really want to support my work you can make a small donation. That would certainly make a sequel more likely. :) If you use GM and haven't registered, though, I'd encourage you to do that first--without it, there would be no seiklus. conkerman817 - thanks--I remember that happening while I was making the game but I thought I had fixed it. soulreaver - many elements of the game are inspired by other games. Otherwise, I just tried to find a way to make a game out of stuff I like to draw. acidgame - I don't know about now, but I do have lots of sequel ideas. As for the piano, I don't want to be more explicit here than I already have. I don't want to post solutions here that people might see who haven't even played the game. So feel free to write up some sort of guide, but please just link to it here rather than posting the entire text of it so people won't see it by accident. segafreak - I used a combination of tiles and backgrounds. Room Speed is default (30). Some of the backgrounds are enormous, but they are all 16 color images. Maybe that makes a difference. -- |

Re: :( say, tapeworm, you still visit this topic? I really like what you've done w/ the game, great job! I can't give you cash (sorry anyways, I haven't done this at GMC yet, but I think it deserves it! time for: therabidreview by: therabidwombat Graphics: 10/10 The graphics are very good. They're not good in the 'wow, Look, they put a real man in my computer' kind of way, they're good in that they follow a similar graphic style the whole way through, they're high quality, they're easily distinguishable for what they are, and they're smooth! Plus, the extra things (like the dirt rising in the volcano) were just added bonuses Sound: 10/10 The music you didn't make, but the choice was great! It fit the theme well. also, the sound effect all sounded perfect, and matched the actions 100%! great work! (btw...what did you make 'em with?) Level Design: 10/10 The levels were all planned out, and that weren't so hard as to be frustrating (if you caught the hints and such). And then there were hidden areas! very nice work! Control: 10/10 easy, responsive controls. Very simple to get used to. Great choice! Gameplay: 10/10 this game isn't a platformer w/ a million enemies you have to jump on to win. In fact, it's impossible to lose (unless you do some really strange things). However, it will still take you a long time to win. The main point is to collect things, and this promotes exploration, making this a great game. Overall: 10/10 Rarely do you see a game of such high quality made with game maker. some of the things in it were great (volume of sounds when changing, graphic style, music, theme). It wins a perfect 10 with me, and has it's own space on my hard drive Great work tapeworm! btw, any chance of you letting me see the .gmd? I'm making a platform game, but some similar things to what you've done w/ movement will be in it, and it could be a nice example! If not, no prob.

Chronic667 Knight that says NI (9/23/03 5:21 pm) |
Nice... I think its illegal to make games this good, i love the graphics, its realy hard to imagine this game with another type.. the plain and simple approach does it all. Everyone seems to be talking about the game, as i was playing through it, i was thinking more of the effects. Games lack alot of the details this game had.. water dripping from the stalactites, the snow, rain, even the backgrounds had them.. like the whale like shadow roaming underwater, butterflys and clouds. The fading of music and sound effects as you approch things. The rising lava ash, and the lavafall, all greatly done. I read that you (tapeworm) would release code on how you done certain parts of it, i'd love to know how you done that snow effect. the rest i kinda figured out, but would still like to see the source for them. It'll be a great example for others too. Now on to the game play, Some of the time i was wondering around trying to find some items and didn't realy have much of an idea where to go. In parts there were a lack of prompts that you can exit via that side, the one that springs to mind most is right of the tree. because soon as you walk to the hole, you enter it. I'd like to see the need to press up to enter doors. The whole challenge and reward scheme was good, getting a certain treasure would give something in return. Like the one that alerts you to where the floor grabbers are under the tree. I got 100% of all the colors including white, the treasures, and the circle.. but still only managed overall 99%. Is there something else i must do? During sliding down the outside of the volcano i missed about 2 items and when i went back to try to get them again, none were present.. maybe this is where my 1% lies? Although i did get all colors, so it _could_ be a bug... unless i truly am missing somthing. Seiklus is a realy good game, if you ignore the "Whats the point of getting these colored things" feeling i found it hard to shake off at the start, and continue on with your adventure... you'll find its a realy hard game to fault. Enjoyable to look at, listen to, and play.. Seiklus is definatly in my top ten list of Game Maker games. |

SBLive! AND WinME SOLUTION Get the newest version of the Fmod dll/player package, recently released: www.fmod.org/ (the player is below the SDK downloads, and very small, so not hard to get) Then replace the .dll in your seiklus folder every time you play(why does it delete it after playing? Ask tapeworm about that). I don't get to hear music running it with the new .dll, but the game will run, which is quite a big step up. |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game HumanoidEric - As segafreak said, I think the issue is probably that your video card or monitor can't do 1024x768. I was thinking of releasing an 800x600 version for those who have trouble seeing everything as small as it is. I guess this is another reason to do so. Anathema Raptor - Don't worry about it if your protagonist resembles mine. As simple as I drew things, there are probably existing characters elsewhere already that look similar. :) therabidwombat - Thanks for the extensive review. I'm not giving out the GMD at this point, but that's not because I want to keep any code secret. I'll contact you about it. Chronic667 - Thanks for the thorough feedback. As for the "snow" (it's actually supposed to be dust/ashes :), this script: repeat (5) instance_create((view_left+641),random(480),obj_gash_1x1); repeat (2) instance_create((view_left+641),random(480),obj_gash_2x2); repeat (5) instance_create((view_left+641),random(480),obj_gash_1x1d); repeat (2) instance_create((view_left+641),random(480),obj_gash_2x2d); alarm[0] = 2; creates these objects (four different ones that are identical except for their sprites): --create event-- motion_set(180,10); alarm[0] = 1; --alarm[0] event-- if ((x < view_left) or (y > (view_top+490))) then { instance_destroy(); exit; } else { guidance = (floor(random(9))); if (guidance > 5) then motion_set((direction+5),(random(20)+5)) else motion_set((direction-5),(random(20)+5)); alarm[0] = 15; } Looks like this message board erases indents. Oh, well. edit: to address your other questions, the last room is 1%, so if you saved before you went in, your save game will still say 99. Otherwise, maybe there is a bug. :) The length and the number of flares you get on the volcano face are determined by how many you still need to collect. The underwater part is similar. Reynard - Good to know that the new DLL helps. I'll have to package that one with the game. I delete the DLLS at game end to reduce clutter, but maybe I shouldn't in case of future issues. :) Everyone else - I appreciate all the comments. -- |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game this is the BEST game made with gm EVER!!!!!!! the sound is awsome. i like how well the music fits in. and the volume levels are really well done like the lava sound gets louder when you get close to the 'lavafall'(is that even a word) and the music gets quieter when your underwater or in that giant worm thing. the graphis are a work of art. it would definately sell(i know id buy it) but i see why you dont want to(im pretty sure you sed u didnt make those mod music files) i give it a 10/10. its probably the first gm game iv spent over 30 min playing. i have 100 wisps for every color except green(only 50 i hope you make a sequel! |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game Tapeworm: I think you switched off reporting errors in your game, is that correct? Because the new FMOD library should have reported errors - the DLL definitions do not work anymore because the parameters of the DLL functions have changed.

I'm just wondering whether I should use some sort of temporary workaround or wait. At least it is a small minority that has problems. I think I did turn off errors and just sent them to a log file. Borek PL - I tried a version of Attack on Colony a few months ago. Very impressive (and very hard :). I am looking forward to the final project. -- |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game Tapeworm: I am happy to announce that a new version of JBFMOD is nearing arrival. I recreated the thing from scratch, but fortunately I could a lot of the old material. This new version will work with the latest version of JBFMOD (3.7). I will add a bit of functionality to the new DLL. It is fully compatible with the old one, except for maybe one or two functions that may need adjusting in a GMD. TyperQ and Reynard T Fox have performed tests for me on their systems with an SB Live soundcard. I have asked them wether they can help me out with a few more tests. I silently hope this new combination of FMOD / JBFMOD solves the SoundBlaster Live problem - if not, I will test a few different initialisations and approaches. If that does not work, I will try and figure out SB Live detection before intialisation so that the DLL will pass the soundcard without crashing. I hope to have a final version in about 2 or 3 weeks from now. My DLL was about 2 years old and I changed E-mail address since then. I can be reached at [email protected] if necessary. Cheers, Smarty Ps: A sunny note: Under GM 5.1 it looks as if MODs now play at 44100 Khz (former versions seemed to play it at half the quality). |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game Do you have to be able to see colors to solve the piano puzzle? I'm colorblind. If someone could give me the order of the colors (say, from left to right) of the piano, that would help. Of course, I still won't know the order of the colors on the clue I saw (if indeed it is the correct clue; though it didn't seem to be hinting at anything else in the area). I'm at 76% with all blobs except I have only 50 green (I think), and 45 white. Is there some other area I need to go to first? |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game Colourblind? Really? Isn't it like, that colourblind people can only see some colours (like one or two) but not others? In which case, which colours can/can't you see (I'm guessing one of them is green). |

Smarty Very Active User (9/28/03 9:10 am) |
Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game pcgabe: That is the maximum score you can get until you finish the piano puzzle (I was stuck at that score myself for a while). You have certainly already seen the solution to the puzzle, but I can imagine that you didn't realise it because of your colour blindness. I guess it can't be a spoiler if someone tells you by mail what it is. Hope I didn't give too much away... Smarty |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration gameQuote: I'm red-green colorblind. Basically, I can see blue. To get an idea what it's like, go to: www.mcw.edu/cellbio/colorvision/test1.htm Most of the slide pairs look virtually the same to me. I'm guessing that they're different for other people. Anyway, yeah, it would be nice if someone sent me an e-mail with the left to right ordering of the colors. I'm pretty confident I'll be able to solve the puzzle on my own, if given all the necessary information. |

Re: my personal opinion apparently, after reading everyone's comments. I think everyone will hate me for saying something like this... so here goes. Although i honestly think that every game has it's downsides, it just so happen that i'm the first one to post it. I will list wat i think is important in a game from 1 through 10. Playability (how smooth it runs):7 graphics:4 story line:8 Features(how many other options other than the arrowkeys):3 Sound:9 I know this isn't exactly how u guys view the game, but i'm afraid that's how i view it. You can choose to take my comments into consideration or complete ignore it and go on with your non-opionated life. Anways, these are just comments. Whether they're good or bad, you decide. I'm just your average game player who views the game this way. I must say though, the maker did a fairly good job for 6 months work.

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game Wow, this is really good game, but I don't think it's a "OMG it's the best game eva!!!!!11!!11", and I probably wouldn't pay 50 bucks for it. Here's my review (may contain some spoilers): Gameplay: 9/10 This is a really fun game! There are lots of puzzles, and different things to discover, but sometimes I got REALLY annoyed. First off, the guy moves a bit too slow, so it's sometimes hard to get from place to place. Also, sometimes if you accidentally miss a platform or something, then you are forced to go through the whole thing again. I especially hated the cave, and I had gotten eaten at least 20 times. Overall, this is a great plus for the game. Controls: 10/10 The controls are extremely simple. Use arrows keys to move, jump, and duck. Use W to warp(at the end). That's about it! Story: 8/10 It didn't explain the story much. Two people are on top of a cliff looking at the stars, and then he gets hit with a metior(sp?), and falls off. A bit too simple... Sound/Music: 9/10 I love the music! Excellent selection. Maybe you could've used a different background music for the water and the creature's insides. Also, whenever you saved, and loaded the game again, the music wouldn't play, which was kinda annoying. Graphics: 10/10 I love the graphics too! Very simple, and clean. You keep the same style throughout the game. What I especially like about a game is when people make it from scratch. It looks like you didn't use any ripped graphics or anything, which is good! Overall: 46/50 92% A- Remember, I'm grading this as a game, not compared to other games. If I were comparing this to other games made with Game Maker, this would've definately gotten an A+! |-/-|-|\--|\--/\--|\------/|-|\-------/--/\--|\------/| |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game All things considered its not a bad game. I think that sometimes people are a little too picky on this forum when you consider that 99.9% of people on here are NOT professional game designers/developers. The jumping may be a little hit and miss, and maybe you do have to redo an area after accidentally falling or not making a jump - but thats just part of the game. The only negative comment Ive heard so far that I think is valid (not that my opinion really means much anyway) is the caves area - the first time I got sucked down into the floor and then spat out, I thought it was a very cool effect. 30 times later it was wearing a little thin. Maybe some sort of warning/indication as to where the sinkholes are may help (like bubbling - maybe there is and I havent had the brightness on my monitor up high enough Otherwise this would have to rate as one of the best GM games in recent years (although I lean a little towards LockOn and Joust for that title). Keep up the good work - been visiting your site for a while now as "simplistic but clean" art appeals to me. Looking forward to your next project. |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game Nextune, others who suggested it - I submitted my game to Gamehippo a few weeks ago. I guess it will show up there eventually if they like it. :) lazn135 - Honest criticism is certainly welcome. I have changed the game a LOT since I fisrt started showing it to people based on helpful comments. But as Smarty said, you don't need to insult people personally (the "non-opinionated" thing) just because you have a different opinion. If you have any suggestions on how I might do better with my next game, let me know. KidBomb - Thanks for the detailed comments. I hope I don't come across as claiming my game is any better than anyone else's--and as for the $50 thing--I think the price I actually set (free) is fair enough for what you get. :) GlimmerSoft - Yes, I know the cave turned a lot of people away. There _are_ hints, just not obvious ones, I guess. I have several other GM projects in the works now. I am also a fan of Iteration Games. -- |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game The Reelest - I grew up with a Commodore 64 computer. Music from that, and later, the Amiga, are the basis of chip music. It also inludes stuff from NES, GameBoy, etc. Simple but excellent analog sythesizer stuff. lazn135 - No problem. I do see your point--when you read raving exaggerated praise it can make anything a disappointment, as nothing is perfect. :) Cyan47 - For the fading music I use a variable that was based on either how long you have been in a room or your X or Y position. If that's not clear enough, let me now. Mastaswordsman, Cyan47 - The sequel probably wouldn't be the same main character, but other than that, it's a secret. I'm working on some other things first, though. You might like them, too. workman161, Burning House - I appreciate the offers. I am okay on bandwidth right now but I'll let you know.

Re: story Seiklus Review by: Erik Zijlstra The Story A guy and his girlfriend were chillin’ on a hill. But suddenly a huge rock falls down just between that guy and his girlfriend. He falls down from the hill and now his adventure begins in all kinds of strange worlds.<|I --> The Game Seiklus is not just a regular gamemaker platform game! No this one is diffirent, this one is way better because of all those diffirent worlds to discover, it never gets bored. Once you see the loading screen you expect a crappy game, but if the mainmenu shows you will see that the game is good. In the mainmenu you can choose 3 load game’s just like the old mario *sigh* the good old time. Even the total % of the game is visible, that is something i never saw in a gm game before. Once you start the game you see a simple intro movie after the movie you start in a green world with a lot of grass. It starts really easy but its keeps getting harder. You even have to think hard to complete a level. There are a lot of worlds like; Volcano, and a diffirent Caves, Ice, Rainy world, and a lot more. Gfx The gfx are good, not really great. Because there are so many diffirent graphics in the game you dont really mind how the gfx look. Sfx WOW! Great good old snes music. I Love it! My Opinion Good game, many levels, a lot of diffirent worlds, great music. Next time, please make the storyline a lot better (maybe an idea for a sequel) A must see, if you are a platform fan!<;) --> + Many levels Diffirent Worlds Great Music - Bad/Simple Storyline 8,5/10 |

Great game! I think a good story line is the last thing a platformer needs. Gameplay is all that matters. I really enjoyed this game, some very imaginitive ideas, good graphics (loved the particle effects!) Great music too! (From C64 not SNES!) Also I like the way the game is purely about exploration, there is no dying in this game (as far as I'm aware) Deffinately the best game I've seen made with GM. I look forward to completing it! |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game Cyan47 - For the rooms where the music fades out, I set an alarm right when the room starts if it is not playing the right song (or if it is playing a song at all in some cases), and the alarm counts down, each time decreasing a variable and setting the music volume to that variable. On the ones where your position determines the volume, an alarm periodically checks the protagonist's x or y variable and sets the sound volume one accordingly. If this is still confusing, I'd be happy to show you the code. If you're still stuck on that last piece, the solution is similar to the piano puzzle. erikzijlstra - Thanks for the review. As spikester said, the music is more c64-oriented than SNES. :) I had planned to have more of an overt story at first with dialog and all, but I changed my mind at sone point and decided to make it minimal. Probably I will have more of a clear story in a future game. spikester75 - Right, no way to die. Glad you like it. protoman - The game is in 1024x768 resolution. If your monitor or video card doesn't support that, it won't work. But I think the next version will have an option to set resolution and solve that problem, if I can get that to work right. -- |

seiklus - an adventure/exploration game This is one SUPER game....nice work! I have been at it for days and am at only 74%. (please no hints) So many nice touches. I cracked up when the tongue grabbed me...really broke out laughing. The audio is great too....the fishes heartbeat, the lava, etc. The whole game is top notch, and something for us to aspire to. The only thing I keep wondering is this: Once I have solved it, will I want to play again......so much hinges on uncovering the secrets that once you know them, will it still be fun? Guess you will have to be working on the sequel huh? |

seiklus - an adventure/exploration game Ok, I got past the credits, I'm at 86% and am in the yellow room with the purple jumping sheep or whatever you call them. So maybe I haven't figured out how to get by them, and maybe there is a glitch. When you climb the chain, they can either knock you off, or stick to you and make you freeze.....until another knocks into you. Is that about how it is supposed to work? But I was dodging them, and now I am frozen in midair. The other sheep don't jump at me (us) cuz I'm off the chain. As far as I can see, I am frozen there, and I made the mistake of saving the game there Is there a way out of this or am I stuck in a glitch? If this is normal and just is another challenge, don't give me the answer......just let me know if there IS a way to get unstuck. Thanks....... |

Re: White whisps?!?! TommyMC, In Seiklus, as far as I can judge, there is no need to restart. You can get to the top - always keep climbing. Smarty |

Re: seiklus - an adventure/exploration game Smarty - No hurry. That's a good thing about making free games. No deadlines. :) Tommymc - Someone has reported this before. I wasn't able to make it happen myself, but I see how it could happen in theory. Are you stuck between two animals moving in different directions? Can you explain exactly what happened? If you really are frozen forever, the only thing I can think of is to find a save game from someone else who is at the same point (does anyone reading this have one?). At any rate, I'll see if I can reproduce and fix it. workman161 - Check the room with the rats. -- |

seiklus - an adventure/exploration game Here is a screenshot: www.powow.com/tommymc/seik002.jpg I think I was jumping to avoid the critter, and got caught in midair. Just a lone animal. Bummer that I saved the game there. I'm starting over, but if anybody has a saved game, it would save me some trouble.....well it IS fun, but a lot of work to get as far as I did. I can be contacted at: [email protected] |

WOW What a great game, I had so much fun just exploring the place, you've built a really awesome world, with a great atmosphere. I loved the particle systems you've used, for example the lavafall, and the snow. The gameplay was great, the non-linar style is well done, I liked how I could choose which way to go next. I haven't finished it yet, but I plan to. |

Re: WoooHooo 100%!!!!!!!!! THE BEST GM GAME!!! I have seen many games that I thought were the best and also thought they would never be beat.... I was wrong, this completely conquers all games. The graphics are cartoony, not overdone like in many other games. The world was the most genious plan ever. Well, hope to see a sequal and I would suggest if you DO release the *.gmd, take out a lot of stuff because some people will just change the graphics and levels and not do anything themselves. GOOD LUCK! |
