This is a fabulous example of what can be achieved in SMILE GAME BUILDER if you put your mind to it.

Can you imagine having this in your game? This is truly awesome!

The new Smile Game Builder Tutorials Extra #X04 video is online at YouTube.

This one focuses on Ignaz’s money (from Tutorial #6), this time a randomised amount before he will join the party.

One of the side-projects I’ve been working on is a "useable phone", where you can call a phone interface and select its apps to toggle certain settings ON or OFF (such as Party Train) and call certain functions (such as the Save Menu) from within SMILE GAME BUILDER.

Development History

While development initially began more as an experiment for a unique icon-driven custom menu, I quickly realised how much it resembled a cellphone layout, with all its apps neatly laid out on-screen.

So I began redesigning the layout and interface to look more like a typical cellphone. And I began planning which features could be used as apps.

Although it’s still a work-in-progress, I will continue work on it over time. There are plenty of bugs and some of the routines don’t quite function as intended, so I still have a long way to go before a fully functioning phone custom menu.

Some app functions, such as the Equipment and Jukebox, may not be viable or achievable, so they might need removing or replacing.

Custom Menu Online Classes/Tutorials

At the end of July to the beginning of August, I’m going to start work on a series of courses or online classes dedicated to creating custom menus for SMILE GAME BUILDER, which will be available on the Gnome Treasure store.

During the course, you’ll learn how to create unique custom menus from start to finish, from a simple "settings menu" to something more complex like the phone custom menu.

I’m not sure of pricing or format yet, but that’ll develop over time, and I’ll make the announcements here and on Twitter.

The SMILE GAME BUILDER Tutorials Extra X03: Marie’s Flowers focuses on fetching Marie’s roses so she will join you. There’s a neat feature – MMORPG style – where the flowers have a "particle effect" that’ll disappear when you collect a rose.

Tutorials Extra Part #X04

The next part of the Tutorials Extra series will focus on Ignaz, who (in the original tutorial) requested money before he would join. He wanted a fixed amount, but this time he’ll request a random amount.

The SMILE GAME BUILDER Tutorials Extra #X02: Recruiting Marie video is up on YouTube.

Marie requires flowers before she will join the party. This tutorial sets her conditions up and, when you have her flowers, her name gets crossed off the recruitment note (from Part 1) after she joined.

Tutorials Extra Part #X03

The next part of the Tutorials Extra series focuses on the flowers "fetch quest" for Marie, with an additional particle effect indicating where the flowers are (in the same style as many MMORPGs).

The Tutorials Extra X01: Recruitment Note for SMILE GAME BUILDER has been published on YouTube.

In this video, the player can view a note listing the party members’ requirements before joining. Their names are then crossed off the list when they’ve joined the party.

What Is the Tutorials Extra Series?

The Tutorials Extra is a series of videos comprising short bite-sized videos aiming to update my older tutorials, each following on from its predecessor. Each video also contains additional methods and enhancements, building on the original tutorials on which they’re based.
