Greenhouse: Dead Sun

Hiya everyone!

I'm working on a metroidvania platformer called Greenhouse: Dead Sun. It's a melee action platformer taking a lot of inspiration from the Momodora series (and a bit of hollow knight) and of course Cave Story (you can play my previous game Greenhouse: Schism if you want the REALLY cave story inspired stuff- It's free as well!)


(I compressed the hell out of this gif I hope it doesn't look horrible)

I'm using GameMaker and separate level editor called LDtk to make the game itself as well as Aseprite and FL studio for the art and music. I'm also using a custom system for handling cutscenes in GameMaker that I have open sourced on github so if any of you are using GameMaker it might be neat https://github.com/Volpanic/VFlow . I'm planning to get a demo out in a month or two and release like a third into next year.

I've got a steam page up to trickle in wishlists while I keep working on it- (https://store.steampowered.com/app/5225240/Greenhouse_Dead_Sun/)

Spoiler: More Screenshots

Thanks for reading ~

 

This looks really cool, I can't wait for it to release! Especially with what the GameMaker engine can do, I'm sure this'll be a great game for sure!

 

epic!

 

This project looks very nice and I wish you luck!

Also, I tried downloading your previous game (Schism... now there's a word I haven't heard in a long while...), and while there are probably better channels for asking this, I may as well put it here. Do you know of a fix for this?

Spoiler: error

Oh strange, Scribble is a text rendering plugin so I'm not exactly sure what's failing. I can't really replicate it either- Are you running it on windows or on a different OS via something like wine/proton?

This is Windows (10). It's a fairly old computer, in case that might be relevant.

If it's windows 10 I don't think the age of the computer should effect it much. I'll look through the plugin's issues on github and see if anyone else has encountered a similar issue.

The only cause I could really find was out of date gpu drivers or an old c++ runtime (it's probably the drivers), I'll keep looking into it but if ya can see if updating your gpu drivers fixes it.
