First Videogame: EXPLORADOR
My first big video game
Game made with Game Maker 8, finished in August 2010.
I consider it my first video game, because I put a lot of effort into it, it was the first to have a large number of levels and the one I enjoyed playing the most.
I did it without following any tutorial, just what I already knew so far.
Many of the sprites I used in the game were already implemented in Game Maker.
The game is called EXPLORADOR (explorer) and the objective of each level was to take the explorer to the diamond, for which a large number of enemies had to be avoided.
It has a total of 13 levels (the last one was only for testing). 6 background songs. A "shop" to exchange coins for lives or exchange lives for passing a level.
I remember that from level 8 the game became very complicated.
As a curiosity I never finished all the levels in one play 😅 (But I know some friends did), however, I did pass all the levels, separately, to test them.
It was played mainly with the keyboard.
A negative point that at that time I did not know how to fix, was that sometimes the controls did not respond if more than 1 key was pressed at a time, making it more difficult to move correctly.
