How Games Can Send The Wrong Message YouTube video by Games Over Qualia

DeVaughn Keys from Games Over Qualia did an in-depth analysis of the systems in Diecast. He shares his thoughts and gives some great feedback.

There’s probably easier ways to do it, but it worked for me. I also wrote out a full story script ahead of time to know where I wanted the tutorial to go.

Then I had to go into each of those objects, and check that it only advances the tutorial when clicked on a specific step.

I think there’s about 48 steps? I also had a “local_click” and “object_click” for each step to check if clicking the textbox advances the tutorial or if clicking an object like a die or pin advances is.

This was my second pass, and I pretty much rewrote all my code for it. It took a lot of time, but wasn’t too hard. I added a “hud_override” check so I wouldn’t click anything under buttons, and then added a “tutorial_progress” check for what step I was on to make different parts interactable.

The new tutorial is smooooth~! (I got some bad luck tho)

Thanks! New demo will be up on Steam in the next few days

How do you relax after coding a new tutorial for your game?

YA play YOUR game, duh #gamedev #indiegame #GameMaker

(Honestly I'm kinda addicted to this and I need help)

Awesome! Then you’ll enjoy the next update 😈 I think difficulty unlock progress should stay unlocked, too.

Hey thank you! Out of curiosity is this the main demo branch or the beta branch?

Hoping to have this new one out soon™️ and I’ve balanced the difficulty a bit harder (sorry)

Hey all! Slow progress due to some family health issues but the new tutorial is coming along nicely!

Got a few new surprises, too, for the next update! 😉

Thank you!

Working on some new sprites for *reasons*

Just playin' my own game instead of all these awesome #SteamNextFest demos 🙃 #gamedev #indiegame

Continued playing my game, for science! (I'm actually working, Mom, I swear) #gamedev #indiegame #gamemaker

Got a new beta build of the Diecast Demo up on Steam! Go check it out, and switch to the "beta" branch. Then HMU in my Discord, or fill out the feedback form in-game.

The worst part about working on a game solo is figuring out how to balance it all (talking about the difficulty, here, I can juggle the rest just fine). Wanna help? Check out how below!🤔 #gamedev #indiegame #gamemaker

SPOILERS! Got unlocks in for the next demo update and it feels good! Also works as a soft tutorial of sorts, with new strategies unlocking as you play.🎲 #gamedev #indiegame #gamemaker

Yes yes yes

Small update, but unlocks are now in and working, and are a lot more painless than I thought they’d be. It’s good to have code that builds upon code.

I have three done in about 20 minutes. Should be fairly easy to get the other 17 in!

And now I got professional capsule art! This was a dream of mine as a solo dev.
One more thing off the checklist ✅

Spent time working on writing a BUNCH of text strings for localization. So here's some unrelated gameplay of tonight's run 😜 #indiegame #gamedev #gamemaker

As a teacher, the numbers "6, 7" haunt me, even when I'm in my happy place (makin' games) 🤡
