DSGM 5.12 Example Projects

Post by DigitalDesignDude »

Hi All,

Below are some examples files I made when I was first learning DSGM 5.12 as well as others that were made more recently for different posts.

I don't have much spare time to do full-on tutorials explaining them but if you have any questions feel free to ask.

EDIT: I am moving the example files to Itch.io and am in the process of updating them to be better as well as making more of them in general. You can get updated when they are released by following my Itch.io page below:

Just added a pause game example since I already made a pause feature for my DSGM game, BioDie. ;)

I just added a basic rpg example that I started years ago and have taken the time to add more to it so that others can learn from it. Hope it helps.

Also, the sprites and game art used in it are from one of my favorite GBA games: Dragon Ball Z The Legacy of Goku 2. :)

No problem and thanks for noticing!

I wish I had more time to do examples that I haven't already worked on in the past. But my hope is as the community grows we'll be able to see more varied examples and possibly tutorials from others too.

Added a Fade Screens Example. It's a bit simpler than the splash screen example that's already been provided on the virtual machine.

Added a Background Parallax Scroll Example that makes use of Palib's Parallax Scrolling Functions.

For me, its main drawback is that you cannot have a background image and text co-exist on the same layer. And considering in DSGM you only have layers 0-3 to work with, that doesn't give you a lot of flexibility.
