Update 11th December:

Fixed Which node resources are added too

Started work on the Script editor, Will take awhile, The game will have Auto-Generated code for when you import files, create your Game World etc in the end will make it easier

You can now import Characters

Level Editor allows you to show/hide the grid. Features over 500 32x32 boxes for you to create your game world, The level designer allows you to change the size of all the grid boxes to what ever size you wish. Massive space for designing your game world because after you have no room in the first level you can easily add a second level.

Update 10th December:

Here is an image of some updates I have done, I will putting up pictures of what I have been adding every now and then, I have added icons to the Child Documents (background, level designer and audio etc) and when you import things they are added to the TreeView under the correct Parent Node.

hey guys,

I don't know if I will ever finish this application or not but I am working on a game maker. Here is an image of it so far, You can import Audio files, backgrounds for levels, Import characters, Insert new levels and change the properties.

The application is far from finished and I am the only one working on it, if you wish to help PM me, I can do this its a matter of taking my time to do so, I am going to be making some tutorials on some of the advanced features I have added like using Custom forms as an MDI child, using your own images/colors to MDI parents etc instead of the default gray, its easy but some people wont know how to do that so i wills how you how.

Here is an image:

Also, the source for VOS 1.1 will be up in a few days and then closed for the time being as I will not be working on it.

(If you like it how about +rep? :))

I had not followed this topic from the beginning, but now that I have seen what you are doing, I can tell you it is very nice. I actually do not think I've ever seen another program like this :D

I get the whole idea from game Maker 8.0 Pro, You can check it out at YoYogames.com also I was inspired by Craig's Map Editor tutorial for the level editor, I didnt use anybodys code but I get ideas from some other people and turn into my own thing :P
