Mitnick

After finishing Hell’s Gate, I really didn’t want to get into a big project again (not without some time to “rest”). And this is one of the little things I made in that time.

Released on December 2005, Mitnick is quite a simple minigame in which you use W to speed up, always move towards the mouse pointer, and use mouse left button to shoot and mouse right button to throw “ultra-bombs”.

Nothing out of the ordinary if it wasn’t because the game is an OSG (One Script Game). For those users of Game Maker that will ring a bell. If not, it’s a game where the .gm6 (.gmk, or .whatever other versions of GM use) only contains a script, an object and a room. The room only contains an instance of the object. And the object only contains an event: Draw. The event only contains one action: execute script (guess what script it executes? Right, the only one it contains).

So yeah, it was more fun to program than to play. That’s why you can download both the executable version and the editable version here, to let you take a look at the (1075 lines of) code.

It was my first OSG, and I learnt quite a lot in the process of making it. I made a better OSG some time later. That is Sivor, and I’ll post about that one soon. =)

Hell’s Gate

So I thought I’d write a bit about the games I’ve made in the past, and this sounded like a good way to begin.

Hell’s Gate is, I would say, the first “real” game I made. I had obviously made smaller game-ish experiments before, but nothing I would want to show here. ^_^

Platform/adventure/action game.
Let’s show a couple of screenshots first:

Released on August 2005, so it’s old. Actually, now that I look at it, it kind of sucks. But oh well, it was a real accomplishment at the time, and I was really proud of it.

You control three soldiers, and must take them through a few levels (around thirty) visiting the jungle, mountains and even Hell! Each soldier has some unique skills that should make him needed at some point =P.

It was made by the SpanishGM’s clan, formed at the GMClans, and whose leader was me. I’ve got to thank jmgandalf (the spriter behind Hell’s Gate, and old friend of mine) for his dedication to the project. Without him it would have not been possible. Many others helped making the game, but those you can check in the in-game credits. =)

So yeah, it should take around ah hour and a half to beat, and comes with tutorials and minigames. Nothing too fancy, but hopefully not too shitty either. The result of around 8 months of work. It was made using Game Maker 6.0.

We got quite good reviews at the time, scoring 8.0 at the GMG, and we got 2nd at the GMClans competition it was made for. Not bad for a first try!
