I see in the #gamemaker forum that some devs are facing challenges in ensuring #GooglePlay 's family policy compliance for their Android kids' games. Check out my guide, a unique resource not covered in existing tutorials:

Step 1: Craft Mercury Wand, which launches the caster instead of a spell.
Step 2: Craft Lancing Spellboost, which increases a wand's Piercing when applied.
Step 3: Show the game who's boss by piercing through locked doors.

Turned the attacks back on and I got absolutely bodied, lol

[Alchementalist - Spell crafting elemental chaos! @alchemental1]

I was doing some testing with my flowfield and turned off enemy attacks. Suddenly I became an idol in a weird shamanic dance...

The Crystal Golem enemy bugged out and I couldn't help myself...

Added an "audible" range so that enemies could hear "something" (you) when you are close enough. They turn slowly and start chasing you if you enter their LOS.

(also I'm not trapped in here with you, you're trapped in here with me!)

I think(?) the elemental select has reached it's final form...

Moved the primary light source from the player to a per-frame basis on the wand.

Then took advantage of the per-frame system I'd built to add in some light colour and intensity changes to spellcasting.

Looks pretty cool, I think...

And the dev said "Let there be hints", and there were hints, and the dev saw the hints, and they were informative (and also toggleable in the settings).

A bit more work on lamps, specifically the top right and bottom centre "hanging" style lamps now properly occlude their structure from the light, and all lights spawn emissive "glowy" particles in addition to their light.

I realised I was incorrectly applying friction while dashing, so I fixed it and suddenly...I'm Superman apparently...

Started making some lamps (they're not entirely finished, but I'm tired and going to bed lol)

I think I entered the wrong part of town🥴...

A bit more loosey juicey for the starting element select screen...

@c64cosmin 🍫😂

That’s a good idea with the particles, I’m gonna have a play with them right now.

[Alchementalist - Spell crafting elemental chaos! @alchemental1]

Which element would you pick?

You want more settings?! You can't handle more settings!

For anyone who wants to see it "properly"...

[Alchementalist - Spell crafting elemental chaos! @alchemental1]

Crunched hard for the last three days to get the settings menu operational. Finally got it into a working state. Still have a little bit to do, but it's all simple stuff from here on out! (if only twitter gifs could be fullscreened)
