Hi,
I'm trying to make a new game for Mac called the KaM Defender Game. The Defender is a mix between the 1940 (or 1945) Game Maker game and the Tower Defense . Of course, it has multiple elements of KaM too.
I'm trying to create this game using Game Maker Lite for Mac. It is free, so I don't have to spent money on this, which is a very good thing. Now, I already have all the units and building, but I need some terrains. Since Map Editor is for Windows only, I need to use instead. But I don't have the option to raise terrain and stuff. My question is now, is it possible to create a map in Map Editor and take a screenshot of it, without any units? Or should I just make flat maps, using the tiles? (does anyone know how to get the different tiles?). The last option would be very easy, and it wouldn't take much time. The map should be something like 640p high and 800p wide.
Is there anyone able to help me out?
*I could make maps with mountains and hills in using screenshots, so if it's really not possible, i'll try and create some in Photoshop. But i'd still need those tiles as images. Doesn't matter what kind of file (png/bmp/jpg/tiff/psd/gif etc.) everything should work.
Edit: It'd be something like a scrolling shooter, but in the KaM style
EDIT:
I changed the scrolling shooter idea to the essentials of KaM, a fighting mission. In the future there may be more options, but not for at least a year. More information? Look at my second post in this topic. The big one.
Thanks,
Kridge
