Music Forest Boss

'ello.

If anyone remembers me or what I did, ages ago I posted some threads about me game devving. They ended badly.

Now I've got my sights set on a new game, in which I wholeheartedly aim to finish. That's why I've been dead recently. You can see it here: https://forum.yoyogames.com/index.php?threads/jellor-platformer.37437/

Yep, diff forums, makes sense though, right? A game on a gamemaker forums. And different name, Giga Nova. That's what I'll call myself as a dev.

Anyways.... heres the bit of music - the purpose of the thread. Tell me what you think.

I really like it. The Intro is a tiny bit repetitive, but otherwise, it's a great, catchy theme.

 

Noice music. 8/10 on the Herb Scale, not close to ginger but almost.

 

Holy shit nice!
If you don't mind me asking, oh man I have a ton of questions about the game! (Especially the coding)
What language/engine are you coding this on?
How are levels generated?
-Hand made? procedurally generated?
-I get a kick out of procedurally generated levels because they're so interesting to make algorithmically. It's just teaching the computer to make it's own games almost :D
How are you coding in boss behaviors?
Are you planning to do dialogue and cutscenes?

Sorry for the dump of questions XD
Good luck with the project, it looks really fun! Let me know if you need help or advice making it.

________________________________

Ok I just realized you made it with gamemaker. I really should have checked the forum.
But have you ever thought about making it in Java or Unity?

 

- Hand made levels - gonna be an exploration platformer.
- Haven't coded bosses, but enemies have state-by-state behaviours which will be similar to bosses.
- Yes, I've got dialogue through signs, and I will do cutscenes.
- I'm doing software engineering for uni next year, so I want to leave the Java and C and such coding languages for then. I'll probably switch from GML once I get the hang of it.

Thanks for the kind words :)

 

wow
this is good
really good
ima go do some stuff with it later :)

 

Toby Fox trumps all in repetitive remixes.

in all seriousness, this sounds epic. If I could, I could set this to my ringtone. I'm not joking.

 

This was incredible! Although the first 55 seconds should have been a maximum of 30 seconds. It got kind of boring but when it changed it became instantly more epic. The song really feels like a boss song, kind of reminds me of a mixture of action platformers and pokemon.
