So this is narfnin. I am working on a flash game called "Final Fighter," but have run into [strike]a few[/strike] lots of obstacles.

First, I don't know how to make a main menu T.T
Secondly, I don't know how to set up an unlock system.
Third, I don't know how to make a shop system.
Fourth, I am running out of ideas for enemies/bosses.

Any help/ideas appreciated. Provided it isn't dumb of course.

So, yeah. I have a player and some enemies, and ONE WHOLE LEVEL! The current "units" I have are:

Player (green; I plan on having a color chooser/paint shop thing)
Basic Drone (blue)
Basic Shooter (red)
Basic Kamikaze (purple)
Security Drone Alpha (silver)
Security Drone Beta (grey)

So yeah. You need to know more, lemme know. I just needed a bit 'o help and though to ask. Ciao!

If you have questions about game maker and Flash, go here; don't make a seperate topic for them.

Also, you need proof that you're working on this, so come back to it when you have proof.

(why would he make a topic like this if he wasn't working on something?)


Also, Narf, you made a menu for the flash project for school. How can you not know how make one if you've done it before?

Number 1: That's game maker. Not Flash.

Number 2: I've made a topic like this before and no one complained…

The screenshot wasn't formerly provided, which is why I mainly locked it. Before you provided the screenshot, this seemed like just a topic with you having questions about Flash.

...You didn't lock it on first place.

You failz.




Anyways...Yeah, wish I could help with anything...But I'm low on ideas too.

It's not questions, more of a semi-collab. I would credit anyone who contributed positively in any way. Anywho, sorry if this caused problems

CURSE YOU NARF. This post made us a veteran!

It would be easier to think of ideas to help you if you kind of told us what the game is like (controls, gameplay, story, etc)... but I'll think of something.

For the main menu, you have to learn how to make buttons and assign actions to them, like sending you to another frame, etc. You can look around for tutorials. If the problem is the design, it could be with the starry background of the levels and the title written in a cool font, and it could be organized like this:

Final Fighter

>New Game
>Continue Saved Game
>Options (If you'll have them)
>Extras (If you'll have them)
>Credits

Unlock system... that depends of what are we trying to unlock, like for example other ships, or other special things. To unlock something you can have the player do something like beat x levels, beat them with a certain rating, beat a boss, beat a level without using bombs... stuff like archievements

Shop system: Have the player get coins for defeating enemies. Between levels, you can access a shop to improve your attacks or defenses (Bigger health bar, you can use 1 more bomb, etc). You could also have the player unlock things by buying them.

Enemies/bosses: mmm... I don't know how could a boss for a shooter be like, I would have to think about it...

Hope this can be of some help...

hmm.... i could make you an example for most of this stuff if it's game maker.

Flash is quite simply a more efficient programming, uh... thing?
