![Roadmap and starter project file [#0 Remake Undertale in GameMaker ] @1upIndie](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Wz625xrRQMQ/maxresdefault.jpg)
Uploaded February 2024 | Updated September 2026, 9 hours ago
This is the 2nd video (But since it is only a preview and roadmap I started at 0) in a short series of remaking the battle system which you see in Undertale in GameMaker.
What is Undertale?
Undertale is a video game made also in GameMaker by Toby Fox where
you play as a child that is being trapped in an unknown world and your job in this linear story is to progress. The difference is that you can genocide monsters, be neutral or even befriend them. This throws the concept of enemies being simply neutral farm on it's head.
// Part 0
This time I only discuss that you can download a premade starter project file containing all necessary images that are being used in this series and a basic overworld movement system so that we can start with something (also don't see the point of making a top down movement system because that is not the focus of this remake series, so it is there by default).
🚧 For the future: This series is under construction. There will is a free downloadable project file for everybody, so you can grab and do whatever you like to do with it (you can credit me, but not necessary). Also, this video series will be handled like my Hotline Miami series. If the views drop off a cliff (that I do see happening) it will be then discontinued.

![Hazardous Journey - [Super Demon Survivors OST]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YbaPBYDEr_U/mqdefault.jpg "Hazardous Journey - [Super Demon Survivors OST]
Super Demon Survivors is a homage to time survival reverse bullet hells, set in a familiar world pitting multiple characters against hordes of demons and monsters in a multistage free for all.
Can you outlast wave after wave of increasingly difficult, minimalistic gameplay using an array different weapons and power ups?
Where you like the genre or you want to be part of the active community, you will have direct influence on how the game will be done via comments below or directly with me and my community on my discord server.
The game is made by me and Gutpunch studios to create a game that is in the spirit of the good old games but with modern standards.

![Animation control [Game Maker Studio 2 | Basics]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YruUm8SnfZQ/mqdefault.jpg "Animation control [Game Maker Studio 2 | Basics]
This basics video tutorial shows you how to control the animation of an object/instance in GameMaker Studio.
The idea is quite simple. You want the animation to be faster or slower or even end once the animation is done. For that you need to understand how the image index of the instance in question is being controlled by the image_speed. Thats it!
If you are unsure about controls in Gamemaker, I got you covered:

This enemy ai video tutorial shows you how to make a randomly teleporting enemy that that doesnt spawn on walls in GameMaker Studio.
The idea is quite simple. You need to define at the start a radial spawn circle and save the first x,y coordinates where the instance has been placed. This area defines possible spawn locations. Now run down a timer and when that reaches zero we try to teleport the enemy in a random x,y coordinate in that possible range. Here we check multiple times if that spot is not blocked by a wall instance and if no, we set the x,y coordinate to the random new positon. Thats it!

![Loops - How they work [Game Maker | Basics]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Z6Wrlpf2pjI/mqdefault.jpg "Loops - How they work [Game Maker | Basics]
This basics video tutorial shows you what loops are in GameMaker.
Loops are essential in every programming language where you repeat an instruction until a condition is met. There are 4 loops in GameMaker, which are repeat, for, while and do until. They all share one thing. A condition when the loop is over and the code/instruction part that is being looped/repeated/iterated on. You can exit out of a loop with the break; command. Also a word of caution. You can do infinite loops which will always crash your game, so please dont do that. Thats it!
Tldr:
loops = condition and code part

![Mana sparks effect [GameMaker Studio 2 | Vfx]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_RZnjmn5bUE/mqdefault.jpg "Mana sparks effect [GameMaker Studio 2 | Vfx]
This vfx video tutorial shows you how to create a very subtle but great looking effect that you can overlay our game with for GameMaker Studio. Because it kind of reminds of me of magic or mana I call it the mana spark visual effect.
It is basically a particle system that pops out 1px particles in the camera viewable area that are being drawn in different colors and with low alpha values. And that is pretty much it. Looks great in sidescroller or top down games. The entire code is show in the comment section.
