Ive decided to upload the last working version of Far Trader. Feel free to download and take a look at what can be achieved with Game Maker in about 2 weeks with no prior experience of game development.
Note that what you download is far from what you would call a game, its just a collection of graphics and a ship you can zoom around the play area. My development version allows you to change the ship you fly and the weapons it has with a couple of variables, this demo does not allow for that, instead you are stuck with a small fast ship armed with a couple of shotgun type weapons. I do have working machine guns and missile salvo’s that follow the mouse and detonate after a preset period or when an object is hit.
I have decided to re-assess where I want to go with this game and how to get back into development. Its been some time since I did anything due to time constraints and lack of energy. I have been rethinking how I would like this game to work. As soon as I get my mojo back I will get back into development.
