It's not a big deal though, when you face the centaur simply wait with attacking until it has moved over to the other side for the first time. I recommend playing Prometheus on Windows 7 if at all possible, Game Maker: Studio is not optimized for Windows 8 so there's not much I can do about it. After extensive attempts I can't recreate the bug on any of my Windows 7 machines, and staring at the code gives no result, so it has to be the operating system that is the culprit in this particular case. However, I have traced down the problem to a compability issue between Windows 8 and Game Maker: Studio and games made in said program. I thought I had fixed it, but it appeared again when playing the new version 1.1. Like I wrote in the previous blog post, I discovered a new bug in Prometheus in that the centaur boss disappeared mysteriously if you attacked it too soon after it appeared on screen. Last but not least this will also be a much more unique game as opposed to me earlier works which have all been more or less inspired by other games already in existance.įirst a big thanks to everyone I met at the Retro gaming fair Retrospelsmässan here in Sweden! I had a blast and it was great to meet you guys and talk about Prometheus!

The working title for the game is Crimson Sky. The game is also going to have a much heavier story component which will be very interesting to implement. That is, I really want to do something that is not a retro game, and I think from what I've planned this will hit the mark as far as that is concerned.

The most important thing for me with this game and where I aim to go with it, is to differentiate my work as much as possible from what I've done before. Work on the animations has begun so I will hopefully have something to show shortly. Genre-wise it will be a bit like the Megaman Zero-games except with an emphasis on the fights as opposed to platforming, with a dose of Muramasa: The Demon Blade thrown in there, as well as Mirror's Edge as far as the setting goes. The game is going to be in high resolution with advanced enough animations.

It is going to be a sidescrolling action game set in a dystopian future, where you fight a totalitarian government's thugs either with your sword or an assortment of various kinds of firearms. Just a small tidbit to let you guys know that I've begun work on my next game.
