Hi everyone. I have been using a program called game maker for quite a while now and i thought i would try to make original fruit machines on it using no ROMS or emulators. So far its going good i have managed to program a board feature a mystery space and a bonus space. It does have a few glitches but im working hard to fix them. I have posted a picture of the board feature so you can see my crappy drawing skills i would say this will be ready in about 3 weeks.

good luck lad.......

think you`ll need it mate - ive just been doing a layout and its unbelievable how difficult and complicated its been - you might want to consider having a go with the emulator,theres loads of people on here with vast amounts of knowledge that you cant get on ANY siftware readme lol as RH says - good luck

Good luck mate hope it works 4 u!!

Hmmm what about the reels lol and the win values, good luck lad.......

Well i have been playing around with this idea for quite a while and i think i can do it.As for the reels i should have mentioned that earlier i had another project lying round before this (which unfortunatley is deleted) and i had working reels with holds and nudges so i plan to remake that system later . Also something else i forgot to mention is the board is functional and playable i spent ages on the system but it works nicely . I will keep this post updated when needed. thanks for the replys

Question. Would we require the same program to run your finished project?

Question. Would we require the same program to run your finished project?

Im not 100% sure on that but i would say it would run without the program. If not though i will add the program into the game file.

Question. Would we require the same program to run your finished project?

jim the answer to that one is yes - and you need to purchase the "PRO" version to avoid having an electronic watermark plastered all over your hard work.the program itself seems like a good idea in theory,but having t purchase additional software upgrades to produce something that wont run as a stand alone game anyway might put some people off,anybody who is prepared to have a go deserves nothing but respect

Well i dont think this will be a prob as i have the pro version . Also there is a free unlock code on youtube for the version im using (game maker 6) oh and im not using any of the pro features on this project anyway so even if u cant unlock you can still play it.

Whoops forgot to mention that game maker 6 dont like windows 7 and wont run on it. BUT i could easily import it over to game maker 8 (latest version). I know this will work as i have imported before and since im not using pro features it aint gonna cost you money

UPDATE: Just fixed the biggest glitch on the board

UPDATE: Just fixed the biggest glitch on the board

Sorry I may sound a bit 'off' here but...

This is an attempt at trying a new way of a Sim?

It is in its total infancy?

There's no way ok knowing if it works or not?

A year ago there was a post stating the same thing on a different machine that got deleted therefore no update*!

* iCare Data Recovery 4.1 will recover it as does many a free recovery program.

I really don't want to see 'WIPs' threads where theres no guarantee it will work...and especially if theres a fee involved.

Good luck to you vividfruit....but I can't see anything as it stands.

Right first thing I will not be charging money for the use of this game when it is complete it will be FREE .Also yes it does definetly work and that UPDATE thing I was only saying how i was progressing with making the machine. Last thing I am not trying to simulate a real machine if there is a machine in the real world with the same name as this it is complete coincidence all the machines i will be making with this software will be 100% my own idea (unless people start requesting that i make real machines) I hope this answers most peoples questions and I'll look forward to releaseing this project when complete .

[piesthecat]

i give you alot of respect for taking a task on so hard, and the fact i love your monopoly men , hope it is finished soon ,

[vividfruit]

After working on the board for ages i can now work on the reels as the board feature is all done and working nicely .As soon as i finish making reels i will look for hidden glitches and then release it

[vividfruit]

just thought i would add a more updated pic of the board
