Gorge Valley - Update 0.0.2.7: Open House
Added 2023-10-21 15:00:06 +0000 UTC(THIS IS THE $6-TIER RELEASE BUILD! AS SUCH, IT MAY BE SLIGHTLY UNSTABLE, BUT BUG FIXES HAVE BEEN ROLLED OUT FOR MOST REPORTED ISSUES.)
(Had some reported bugs that have been fixed! 0.0.2.7 is now the current version!)
Without further ado: THE LINK!
If you just wanna sink your teeth into the new update, that's all you need! The rest if just an explanation of everything that's new.
Also, obviously, THE GAME NOW HAS A NAME! While "Cow Village" certainly was charming as a testing name, it's time the project got a proper title. So here it is! Welcome to "Gorge Valley"! A valley within a gorge! That's why it's called that! No other reason or ulterior motive!

How do you get the Round size for dryads? Do you just need to water them a lot?

2024-04-07 19:33:07 +0000 UTCDamn, that bug's still happening? Will look into it again, thank you for the heads up!

2023-10-31 06:50:21 +0000 UTCIt should be fixed now with the latest patch! :)

2023-10-31 06:50:02 +0000 UTCRun into a bit of a bug. When I'm given the option to discipline a dryad, after the minigame, walking to the left breaks the parallax. The background moves as if I'm walking, but the foreground stops right before the barn.

2023-10-31 04:31:15 +0000 UTCThere's no need to apologise! You're making a fantastic game, and bugs are inevitable. I'm just glad I caught one so you can improve the game. Keep up the excellent work!

2023-10-31 03:43:24 +0000 UTCOh heck, thank you for the heads up! I'll make it so that screens don't overlap like that in future builds, my apologies!

2023-10-25 11:16:00 +0000 UTCI love the new update! I just hit a bit of a weird bug that pushed back my progress a bit tho. After I turned June into a cow, I went to water a dryad while she walked in front of it, and my right click activated both her trading screen and the dryad, so I couldn't exit the watering minigame and got an error that I had to abort out of. Oh well, that's what we get for fanging to play early builds ':D Hope this at least helps for future releases!

2023-10-25 09:39:24 +0000 UTCWhen you start a new game, there will be a workstation and chest by the barn. The chest has everything you'll need to make items :)

2023-10-24 20:34:00 +0000 UTCHow do I gain access to the work station and get the garden plots?

2023-10-24 15:12:40 +0000 UTCFlirting and giving them gifts are different options depending on how they're feeling. If they're sad, you give them flowers. If they're misbehaved, you discipline. And if they're feeling flirty, you flirt. You don't have to do all three before watering them :)

2023-10-22 19:18:59 +0000 UTCHow do I flirt with/give gifts to the dryads? Once they're disciplined all I can do is make them drink water.

2023-10-22 17:40:40 +0000 UTCsure did :] - as for the use of game maker engine don’t sweat it, I don’t think anyone’s going to be using unity anymore after some certain, business decisions…. also engine elitists can suck an egg anyways, though I’ve never used game maker myself, maybe I can give it a try when I give godot a go.

2023-10-22 05:56:35 +0000 UTCI Realize what's cool about the dryads they come with different personalities than default.

2023-10-22 02:12:31 +0000 UTCyep, it worked, thanks

2023-10-22 01:50:39 +0000 UTCIf you plug in a new audio device when launching the game, it won't switch to it unless you restart the game. Try restarting with your headphones plugged in and see if that works!
Dandy's Chest
2023-10-22 01:26:48 +0000 UTCYep, there's now 3 sizes for them after they sprout.
Dandy's Chest
2023-10-22 01:26:18 +0000 UTCThank you! So glad you like them :)
Dandy's Chest
2023-10-22 01:26:01 +0000 UTCbtw... i had notice that the game's sound doesn't work with headphones, idk if it's just me or is something that happens to everyone...
Kevin Rodriguez Carrillo
2023-10-22 01:15:56 +0000 UTChey dandys, is that the maximum size of the dryads?
Kevin Rodriguez Carrillo
2023-10-21 23:59:12 +0000 UTCoh the new dryad size is so cute! love the different personalities they can have
Grima
2023-10-21 23:17:36 +0000 UTCOK ill let you know when it happens again, looking forward to seeing future game updates

2023-10-21 22:22:37 +0000 UTCThank you! I program in the GML language with Gamemaker Studio 2! I know that Gamemaker used to be kind of a laughingstock of an engine, but ever since the latest release, it's actually got some merit for use in certain projects now, and I've been enjoying using it a lot. The only other program I used to use was Unity, and overall, Gamemaker feels much cleaner and more simple to maintain a project in than Unity ever did. Thank you for the kind words, mate! Hope this answered some of your questions :P

2023-10-21 21:43:40 +0000 UTCWoops! These are some spaghetti code issues on my part! I've added boundaries to inside the house to keep items from being lost! I also fixed the rolling issue (Thank you for the error code, Lurkinlad!) The only thing I'm not sure how to recreate is the barn issue. I've added some scripts to hopefully fix that problem, but I won't know for sure if it's fixed until I'm able to replicate the bug myself. Rolling out the updated download right now!

2023-10-21 21:38:28 +0000 UTCThank you! :)
Dandy's Chest
2023-10-21 21:36:48 +0000 UTCHmmm. Haven't gotten an error code like that from testing so far. If you get it again, can you post the code so I can see what the issue is? Thank you!

2023-10-21 21:36:42 +0000 UTCHope you enjoy it! :)

2023-10-21 21:14:44 +0000 UTCI tried rolling June and it crashed for me too, error pop-up read ___________________________________________ ############################################################################################ ERROR in action number 1 of Step Event0 for object obj_npc: Variable .stepsound(100220, -2147483648) not set before reading it. at gml_Object_obj_npc_Step_0 ############################################################################################ gml_Object_obj_npc_Step_0 (line -1) gml_Object_obj_june_Step_0 (line -1)

2023-10-21 20:45:35 +0000 UTCThis game is amazing overall but the only thing is there's a inventory error code problem that pops every 20 mins so I got to save every 8 minutes before it happens

2023-10-21 20:37:39 +0000 UTCAmazing work ❤️

2023-10-21 19:51:08 +0000 UTCThe new update is pretty neat! The crafting system seems to work well from what I've been able to do with it, and the addition of r o u n d Dryads is cute. Other than the few bugs I'll list below, the game is working great so far! *First, when I entered Sky's house and tried placing down a table, I think I accidentally dragged it out of the inventory and it ended up floating like an item you could pick up in the exit doorway. I couldn't pick it up for some reason, and when I leave and re-enter the house, it was still floating there. *After that, when I tried walking over to the left past the barn, the background kept moving but the foreground was stuck and it wouldn't let me move any farther towards the left, like some sort of invisible wall was there. **Leaving and re-entering the game seemed to fix both of these issues, and I'm not sure if I could recreate the problem. *The last thing, though I'm unsure if it's related to the first two problems, is that once the girls get immobile, whenever I try to move them I get an error pop-up and can only abort the game. I tried moving them a few times to see if it was a one-time thing, but I get the same error window every time I try. I don't know if anyone else has experienced these sort of issues or if it's just me though, so take this with a grain of salt!

2023-10-21 19:42:30 +0000 UTC!!! been loving the progress on this game so far, and the pixel art suits so well, but I can't help but nerd out about everything game design related and would love to have a little insight into how you did somethings, like is this with code or stuff like blueprints? or hell just knowing the engine its done in too I've done quite a bit of coding stuff and really enjoy it for games, haven't been able to do much of any game projects since starting work, but woe is me, thats life the world needs more wg games and you're doing your part lol
