Title: skyline
Post by: aimaina on April 18, 2018, 03:42:15 AM
hey with all the aus talk i wanted to make a post about skyline so it isnt lost and forgotten forever..... i dont think its available on the internet anymore now that the yoyo games sandbox is gone

its a cute game that is clearly very inspired by aus to the point of stealing music from it..... it is a lot less polished then aus and its also in korean so it is a bit hard to figure out what to do at some points. however its very cute and i think definitely worth playing for aus fans

if you get stuck try talking to all the npcs, even though the text will probably display as gibberish unless you have a korean computer or language pack or something. i think theres at least one point where you have to talk to some random npc in some weird place and pay them a certain number of currency to progress that took me a while to figure out. i managed to beat the game but it was years ago so i dont remember very much

here are some exciting screenshots

since theres probably no "official" way to download it anymore ive rehosted it on my web: love-game.net/skyline.zip (http://love-game.net/skyline.zip)

holy darn this is like aus but more wholesome
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: TheGucc on April 18, 2018, 05:34:27 AM
i cant help but notice the game is quite linear at times though that's probably bc i can't read korean lolol
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: hubol on April 18, 2018, 05:45:31 AM
i actually really liked this game's aesthetics! i wasnt very good at it though, i should totally play it. im pretty sure its impossible to finish or something, i got "room doesnt exist" errors in the haunted mansion zone or something
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: TheGucc on April 18, 2018, 05:47:00 AM

Title: Re: skyline
Post by: hubol on April 18, 2018, 05:47:44 AM

Title: Re: skyline
Post by: aimaina on April 18, 2018, 06:08:28 AM
im pretty sure its beatable, i have an old save file thats at the ending (at least i think its the ending, theres like a big cute party with all the characters in the town area)

if everyone else gets stuck i might try to replay it & write a walkthru.....
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: hubol on April 18, 2018, 06:10:00 AM
@gucci you get there by going as far left toward the blue zone as you can and then falling down

Title: Re: skyline

big explorey games, bad or otherwise, r naturally pretty fun i think
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: aimaina on April 18, 2018, 06:34:45 AM
i think part of why i find it so charming is that its like a not very good version of aus.....

and it feels so earnest that i feel bad about calling it not very good....
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: hubol on April 18, 2018, 07:00:09 AM
yeha i get that

it has super cute aesthetics tho :dancedog:

thats the kind of thing where ill have to take a break before trying it again......
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: aimaina on April 18, 2018, 07:51:10 AM
i think i feel uncomfortable calling this game "bad" because i find it very enjoyable and cute. its "bad" in the sense of common standards for "good game design" but i dont always like to judge games by those standards instead of the raw feelings they give me

i get bothered by games that try to meet those standards but fall short of them, and i appreciate games that seemingly arent concerned with those standards at all. anyways thats why this game is actually better than aus.

Title: Re: skyline
Post by: aimaina on April 18, 2018, 08:31:50 PM
did you buy as much stuff as you can from the shop in the city? i think some of em are jump upgrades

alternatively if there are any blue orbs you can see but cant figure out how to reach, look for fake walls nearby
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: TheGucc on April 18, 2018, 08:33:04 PM
ohhh that was a shop? I thought that was a minigame lmaoxd

yo whats with those random iron blocks?? (not the ground pound ones)
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: aimaina on April 18, 2018, 08:43:47 PM
you get a powerup that can move them eventually
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: TheGucc on April 18, 2018, 08:49:17 PM
oh right i think i know where to get them


in the bloody meat factory??
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: hubol on April 18, 2018, 08:50:18 PM
i like that several powerups add a whole new key each time, i think thats a pretty good idea for a hubol game

every key is a different janky powerup

yeah the metal blocks power is in the bloody meat factory
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: aimaina on April 18, 2018, 08:57:06 PM
that was the concept of my untitled tower game, except there are only nine powerups, so by the end of the game you "only" need to manage nine different keys

java isnt really an engine. java is a programming language that compiles to code to run under a virtual machine. my sweet games have been made in a custom game engine in java since 2012 or somethin

Title: Re: skyline
Post by: hubol on April 21, 2018, 08:39:46 PM

riperoni

the hardest part of the game isn't the bossest, but rather the lead up to them
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: hubol on April 22, 2018, 12:48:51 AM
yeah the level design is pretty tedious n unfriendly lol
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: TheGucc on April 22, 2018, 01:13:11 AM
when the snow area boss is just a reskin of the cloud area boss
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: hubol on April 22, 2018, 03:20:20 AM
except the snow area boss was way easier because the moves are totally random

most of the bosses in this game are pretty similar, its pretty funny
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: aimaina on April 22, 2018, 03:24:37 AM
im playing this again and i finally got to the damn cloud area boss without getting exploded. ive got 176 health this fuckers going down
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: aimaina on April 22, 2018, 03:39:08 AM
the snow area owns

i almost first tried the boss with 14 health

im in the haunted mansion.... just got the last "gm piece"
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: aimaina on April 22, 2018, 03:57:18 AM
its funny how to get the gm piece and one of the hearts in ghost area you just have to jump off a cliff and redo earlier parts of the level
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: aimaina on April 22, 2018, 04:06:55 AM
damn died to the ghost boss on the last phase

imagine playing this on anything other than the easiest difficulty.....

fantastic
Title: Re: skyline

how on earth do you get the gm piece in that fire area
Title: Re: skyline

after you beat snow area, explore the city & u will see the way

just beat the ghost~
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: aimaina on April 22, 2018, 04:20:38 AM
how on earth are you supposed to beat the final (?) area on infinity damage mode
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: aimaina on April 22, 2018, 04:30:27 AM
lol the game crashes if you jump off the top of the screen while at the top of the map

dont know why i even tried
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: aimaina on April 22, 2018, 04:42:24 AM
i beat it!

its funny how the final area has all this stuff that wasnt used anywhere else in the game, it feels like the creator just gave up at some point and cobbled together a bunch of leftover assets. lol what a cute game 10/10
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: hubol on April 22, 2018, 05:43:44 AM
damn i still need to beat that nusty ghost....
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: aimaina on April 22, 2018, 05:53:16 AM
good luck..... that ghost does a lot of damage
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: hubol on April 22, 2018, 06:04:43 AM
something i think is really funny about the ghost house is how the red and blue ghosts are placed like theyre impervious obstacles, e.g. most of the rooms are totally doable without taking damage. but turns out the red ghosts can be destroyed by fire and blue by ice. wacky
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: aimaina on April 22, 2018, 06:07:35 AM
yeha thats cute.... i like to do that one room with like four rows of red & blue ghosts without shooting

i wish i could read jappo talk so i could understand things

also the map kinda sucks tbh, i wish it showed where you've been

i got the fire shot, the ice shot, the double jump, the swim powerup and the kirby down b ground slam, but i'm not sure where to go next.

the game literally just stays open in task manager, but there are no visuals of it actually working
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: aimaina on December 14, 2018, 03:34:18 AM
it sounds like what usually happens when you try to run a game maker 6 game on newer computers.... try running it through this tool https://help.yoyogames.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/205452778/GM_Convert_Game.zip

i thought the download link in the first post already has it converted though so thats probably not it.....
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: SquareWheel on December 14, 2018, 04:10:34 AM
Yeah, same thought here.  The old "shows in task man but not on-screen" is what happens with unconverted GM6 games.  Requires conversion on Vista and later, if memory serves.
Title: Re: skyline
Post by: TheGucc on December 14, 2018, 05:00:53 AM
ok that convert help alot

many thanks
