Brand new Gamefroot Features! Try them out! The most recent features added in Gamefroot version 1.6 are:
- Custom bullets
- Keys and Doors
- Custom loading screen
- Ice and Destructible tiles
- Inventory items via scripts
- Script command for position of camera
- Load your levels straight from the Template selection window
The new custom bullets feature allows you to upload your own bullet graphics, and set them as the projectile for your player’s custom weapons. You can also set them as the bullets that your enemy characters will shoot via their character properties.
You can now find keys and doors in the items palette. Collecting these keys in-game will allow the player to open their counterpart doors when you approach them, but the doors will remain as impassable obstacles until the required key is collected. There is also a sinister looking Skeleton Key which can open any door.
You can add in your own custom loading graphic to be displayed while your game is loading – upload this image via the Menu Editor.
Terrain tile properties can be set to ice and destructible now. A tile set to ice will be extremely slippery, while a tile set to destructible will be able to be shot and destroyed. Try them out for some cool gameplay!
In the Script Editor we’ve added some helpful new commands. You can now detect the position of the camera, and create inventory items that can be stored (like keys).
And when you first open the level editor, you can now Load an existing level without having to start a new level!
