Following on from his previous tutorial, Smooth Status Bars, Mottzy demonstrates advanced techniques for a dynamically moving HUD without the need for an additional overlay.

Advanced Bars & Gauges Video Tutorial

The video below is a two part tutorial. The first part shows how to set up the HUD and the second part provides a neat method for easily importing the assets and event scripts he’s used in his tutorials into your own projects via his MakerBaseSGB.

Mottzy also has a blog and a YouTube channel called Mottzy Makes. Be sure to check them out and subscribe to his channel.

Smile Game Builder – Smooth Status Bars |
Mottzy Minutes #6

For the next video in the Mottzy Minutes tutorials series, Mottzy demonstrates something I’m sure many of us can use in our games.

Smooth Status Bars

It’s a simple but effective method for implementing a dynamic HUD for, in this case, an Insanity stat, but it can be adapted easily for other things.

You can check out Mottzy’s blog for updates on all of his projects and his YouTube channel for more tutorials.

SMILE GAME BUILDER Assets

Modular Market Pack Vol. 1 – SMILE GAME BUILDER Assets
Available from the Gnome Treasure store.
I released my Modular Market Pack Vol. 1 for SMILE GAME BUILDER today.

The pack contains 50 models, including animated water for barrels and boxes. All models are designed modularly to fit snugly together and provide variety to your markets.

It’s available $9.99 on the Gnome Treasure store (slightly more on Itch.io to offset a few fees).

This is part of an ongoing series, which I’ll continue to develop over time, to fully furnish your in-game market places, including things like market stall content (fruit and veg, weapons and armor, etc.) and attachable signs for market stalls.

15% Discount for Monthly SusbscribeStar Patrons

Monthly patrons on my SubscribeStar account will receive a 15% discount coupon code on this pack, which is only useable at checkout on the Gnome Treasure store.

For other discounts and special offers, as well as exclusive content (graphics, models, etc.), you can subscribe from as little as $5 per month.

Video Showcase

This video showcases the Modular Market Pack Vol. 1 and how the parts fit together.

Smile Game Builder – Hunger | Mottzy Minutes #5

Here’s another video in the growing Mottzy Minutes tutorials series.

Hunger Tutorial Video

If you ever want to have a hunger system in your games, this is one way to do it. Kind of has that "grim reaper" vibe to it when hunger reaches zero.

Smile Game Builder – Knock-back and aura effects |
Mottzy Minutes #4

The next video tutorial in Mottzy‘s Mottzy Minutes series is up.

Knock-Back and Aura Effects Video Tutorial

Quoted from the original post:

A combined tutorial on adding a “knock-back” effect to player collisions with events, and an “aura” effect that can alter the player status based on their location in a rectangular area.
