ENIGMA Development Environment

How is that? I didn't understand...
By default, does it check what to draw before actually doing it, or just goes ahead on a merciless drawing stampede?

As an add...
ENIGMA draws everything in the room that is set as "visible" at all times, unless told different, right?

If that's the case, I better make some edits in my game to avoid unnecesary rendering.

I mean there's pretty much nothing to talk about around here, most of the time. Even if it's because you don't have much spare time, why don't we try to light some little fire? That's like the point of having a forum, isn't it; discuss stuff and keep the site active.


So, are you actually interested in the videogame industry, besides the making of 'em?

For my part, I do. I really am into it.
To put it simple, Team Fortress 2 is my favorite game, and I can tell you I spent over 1400 hours playing it within a year. Greatest FPS ever. Also, besides friends, I used to have a gf to play with as well; not just unknown people from the internet, so it just added to my enjoyment in that game. I'm no longer playing it but I still like it a lot.
As for other game types, I'm into Platform, Terror, RPG, Strategy and even Visual Novels. There was space for Music games like osu! and StepMania, but I'm done with them.
The only genres I don't like are Simulation (excepting several titles like most of Tycoon games) and Sports. They're absolutely obnoxious to me.

Goat Simulator is a real bad game. Random joke games are fun, sure, but such an incomplete -and actually stupid, going beyond the randomness- game, is not.

It's your turn. C'mon, say sumthin'!

I added a background animation to the OP - lost spirits falling from above by the thousands

It looks more like a simple rain xD
Animate those volcanos, so it looks real cool :C !

Also, this is a perfect example of the potential the GIF image format has when it comes to both decent compression + high quality.

I haven't tried it myself, but WebM is another option that looks good.

Three words...

GOOGLE DRIVE

But I'm only seeing two!

It looks like a tattoo. It's not the art side I like, but I see the effort put into it and I value that.
Also, I have a question... Why did you use GM's Pencil Tool? Is there any particular advantage from other image editing software's?

Hi guys, it's me again.
I've been currently working on the code for my game, and I wanted to use the C++ inheritance. You know, to use less resources with specific variable declarations and so.
But I can't get my game to work, no matter what I do! The compiler keeps telling me the following errors:

In file included from SHELLmain.cpp:102:0:

I see, thanks a lot!

And, well... I have my reasons to achieve the least possible resource usage - my current game is done with a great focus on how REAL OLD games were. In fact, I'd be most delighted if I can actually get it to work in a Win98 machine (the OS and the specs), but I doubt I can know about it xD
