Heh, the second demo of your game has some improvements. Your game has more ship designs, it has more upgrades, it has more challenges, and d*mn the Triple Bullets! The Boss Level just ended in about 1.5-2 seconds.

I was just playing around with the title screen and then...

OH CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP
DEATH DEATH DEATH

I suggest u make a boss health bar in the future. Dont worry, i can tell u how to do it
If you want it to be displayed at the extreme top right of the screen, draw a rectangle.

x1 = 540
y1 = 0
x2 = (enemy health variable name here)
y2 = 32

That will make a rectangle of 100 pixels width

Yes, the 2nd demo is better, but I still think the sprites for ships need a little more improvement as they look like bottles
and the Ships that combines together is really cool

Already done for the next demo

Also thanks for the tip on enemy health bars. I was planning to do this in the future but wasn't exactly sure how.

OR, draw_healthbar(540,0,100,32,enemie_health,c_black,c_red,c_green,180,true,true)
for multiple enemies, apply this to each one; draw_healthbar(x-32,y-16,x+32,y-6,enemie_health,c_black,c_red,c_green,180,true,true)

God. Damn. It.

Well, as I announced in my recent post in the L/R thread, everything on my computer has been wiped, meaning I have to reinstall Game Maker. Since my dad's taking this whole computer issue much more seriously due to the virus (which of course my dad blames me for), there's no way I can reinstall GM. Guys, I really don't want to say this. But it looks like Epic Upgrade will be stopping in production, at least for a long time.

I will leave this topic open in case anyone wants to say anything, but I knew I had to bring this to everyone's attention, especially those who have helped contribute to the game. The game itself still exists on my Flash Drive, so if I ever get my own computer (one of my objectives when I get a job), I will definitely continue development on the game. Thank you to everyone who has supported the game thus far.

Epic Upgrade + Quitting + Blablob's Dad = FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

Damn, your Dad must really annoy you. -_-

Dang, that stinks. I was looking forward to see the game finished. However, I don't think you should give up with the game. You should finish what you started, as that will give you a better sense of accomplishment and pride. :3

However, even if you don't want to retry making the game again, I don't think you should feel like it was all for nothing. What you did finish was the beginning of something awesome, and that is already rewarding.

But anyway it's your choice, so good luck with whatever you pick. :/

It's not really my choice. Like I said, my dad's being a lot more protective over his computer, so I can't reinstall Game Maker. If I could, I would, YB. But hey, thanks for your support. : D

install it on your flash drive
