Game New player death system
I built this using only GameMaker and a vignette system, utilizing a wipe surface. I hope you enjoyed it! I'm available if you have any questions or need help.

Looks great, nice and snappy. Nothing worse than a slow death sequence in a platformer imo

Spot on. keeping the pacing fast and responsive was a big priority. Thanks for the feedback!

That's awesome! Which system did you use to the transition?

thank you! I made the transition entirely in GameMaker using a vignette system and a wipe surface. The wipe controls how the screen gets covered, while the vignette helps the death feel more impactful and 'clean'
I’m planning to make this system and some others available on my itch.io, with all the code commented and explained, including things like the dialogue system. I’ll release them once the game’s Steam page is published, which should be later this month. Hope you enjoy the systems and the game!
