The Visuals of Game Maker

 The Visuals

I started to create a game on GameMaker with no previous knowledge and only learning from my teacher. I started off to make a player as a sprite and object. It was a basic green box and had no features or physics with it. I also made a wall as a sprite and object this was the start of the game development of the game and to start to create a small map. The wall was also pretty basic and that it was red with an outline which didn't look that great but you can see them below:

After I started to make the basic map, I got tiles which was used to make textures within the game to make the game look more lively and to make it stand out from the rest of the classes. I also made the map have a single course so that the character had to go through one route. Furthermore, I used many 2 texture sets from the tiles to make the game more unique and make it look more mystical. The tiles texture pack can be seen below:

Consequently, the game was then created using the wooden planks texture and the orange grass/dirt as the colours contrast each other and that they are just different shades off of each other. I didn't use any other texture as it would make the map look more funky and not as good. I used minimal amounts of textures to not loose the rhythm of the game. The current map can be seen below:

Subsequently, the map has just started and that it is pretty basic and that the parts of the map that aren't visible but can make the character exit the map is covered using the walls that do not have a tile texture added onto them so I can see what parts are not seen by the player. The white box is what the player can see when they spawn into the game and that the sprite spawns in the top left hand side of the map. The route of the map is from top left to top right. After that they have to go down a bit and go towards the middle and back to the right side where they also have to go down again and from then they start to go left to the bottom left; where they start to gradually go back upwards and have to finish in a small section in the middle which is supposed to become a teleporter in the future.
