v0.322 - Tower hit sounds and better tutorial graphics


Hello everyone,
I hope you like the new update. Feel free to leave me some feedback.

I have tried to make it even easier to get into the game. It is not so easy to make a good tutorial.

The Game Maker 8 internal sound functions are poor. The Audiere DLL helps me out at this point. I am trying to move all the sound files out of the .exe. However, that will take some time.



Intro and Tutorial

  • "ESC to Skip" - text added over all intro screens
  • Dialogues merged up to the first level to save unnecessary clicks
  • Tutorial explanation pictures up to level 3 have all been reworked and should now be more explicit;
    I hope this will make it easier to get into the game
  • Initial life increased to 9 in the first 3 levels.
  • Level 2 is a bit bigger than before
  • Level 3 is a bit smaller than before
  • new loading screen tips in the first 3 levels

Tower Sounds

  • First attempts to bring tower hit sounds into the game
  • Slider for adjusting the volume of the tower hit sounds in the Settings menu
  • Hit sounds are linked to the normal sound volume.
  • Hits and death sounds are only to be heard when the triggering object is in the view.


Improvements

  • new rendering for the Morbid-Infantry in the opening scene before the main menu
  • graphics and sound were separated from the executable
  • Credits page was reworked
  • The tower ring menu no longer loads all text strings every time the menu is opened
  • Added a new sound when a Twiggel starts work in a mine
  • The sound is now different for researching a technology
  • Victory sound added when a level is completed


Fixes

  • Dialogues were skipped on mouseover over the "Enter" button
  • In the town, buildings can no longer be clicked on when a dialogue is active.
  • Button text -> "back" in "Back" and "zurück" in "Zurück"
  • Twiggel Barricades could be clicked in loaded maps through the loading screen and triggered an error. This should no longer happen
  • Viewer for the "Guardian" as a new tower in level 15 now works
  • Heading "Zufallskarte" in the Custom Map Menu is now translated
  • Incorrect description fixed. Map Task - Villagers - in the Victory Screen
  • Incorrect description fixed. Artifacts at the Weapon smith


Thank you very much for testing it out. Any kind of feedback helps me to improve the game.
