i always liked how mk games played, and mk9 looks perfect, especially since they brought back all the characters i actually care about.

I rented MvC3 and i don't like the fighting much at all, it feels like you're barely in control compared to other fighters. Although the game looks great, the fighting just feels, spammy? Sometimes it even feels completely random, especially with Wesker and a support Sentinel spamming everywhere... and the supers can be used WAYY too often.

I think Mk9 is going to be the one to buy.

so hows it comparing to mvc3?

A lot of construct behaviors work perfectly, theres no reason not to use them, and adding custom content is easy.

if you want to make a platform game, by all means you should be using the platform behavior.

Only when a really specialized movement, like that in sonic games or n is needed, should you think about building your own engine from the ground up for real control over how terrain interactions are handled.

games with grappling hooks can use the platform movement, you just need to turn it off while hook stuff is going on and reactivate it when its not.

game maker has a lot of bad practices associated with it, dont look to those for guidance, because they're workarounds to the program.

in all the mario games where you can carry items, you can push them into a wall as your describing.

the only way i really see of fixing this is changing the actual collision mask for Mario when an object is being carried

try custom movement.

it is called game maker and has been for like a decade, i mean that alone is an unfair advantage.

yes,

awesome right now, although i hope theres an image editor. it makes quick transparent graphics, quick.

no event based importable code blocks or copying between projects :O

must learn js now

this is a random post, but i do know the show.

in fact, i was terrified of it, every time i fell asleep on the couch watching discovery i would wake up at 2am and that show would be playing, some creepy stuff would be going on, and i would desperately search for the remote to shut it off but never find it since i was in a crack of or under the couch.

well definitely A* will work for giant levels, but when is it realistic for something on the ground+ to chase that which it cant see. this is a search and chase algorithm, so basically whenever it loses track of what its following it will search, randomly or educatedly.
