Death

So why is death following me into every room?

And it killed me and then the game just froze...

DarkFalzX [developer] May 22, 2015 @ 11:22am

Oh - did you leave the hall pass? Everyone tells you the item is important. The freezing is weird though.. sigh
EDIT
Can't reproduce the freezing - what room were you in?
BTW - the game is designed so the death is generally pretty easy to avoid, but becomes a constant threat if you refuse to carry the hall pass. He always appears from the entrance in the room that you came in through, he never appears in event rooms and rooms with just one entrance. If your game wouldn've froze, the hall pass would've been returned to you by the witches' council.

I left it because I can only carry so many items and I already used that one...

When I died, the screen went black but I could still see the UI. It stayed like that for like 15 seconds, then I pressed Esc and it closed

Also the first time I launched the game, I left it on the menu while I was getting my Xbox controller, and after a while the title animations stopped and the game crashed. Seems like it happened when I disconnected my tablet to connect the controller

The death crash is super-weird! Never had this happened to anyone here - I'll be looking into it today. The controller swap - that's a common GameMaker Studio thing and I can't fix it no matter what I do. The game didn't crash, but slowed to a crawl. It started fine the next time you fired it up with a controller though, right?

Yeah no problems the second time

Do you need to carry an item so the "grim reaper" stop following you around? ( I only saw a youtube video, I'm trying to understand how it works)

DarkFalzX [developer] May 22, 2015 @ 2:34pm

You need to keep it in your inventory if you don't want death to follow you, but the item has a few other uses in the game. The death only follows you while you are on school grounds though, and only after you leave the hall pass item in another room.

you left class without a hall pass? Are you mad?! I remember back in school when some kid forgot his hall pass and tried to go to the bathroom... what they did to him... he was just never the same.

Hey, is your name a reference to the Valis series and the main character?

Kinda lost (where's the library?)

Can anyone point me in the general direction of the library? Seems like I went everywhere twice but I see nowhere else to go and I can't seem to find this library

Did you find Midnight - the static kitty? The library is past that room. There is also a handy shortcut through it to the shaft right outside the council chamber.

Excellent art and game again DarkFalzX. in my GM experience, if you check gamepad 'realtime' in game, that causes problem(serious slowdown) when gamepad is connected or disconnected. I recommend check gamepad when rooms start or something does only once.

I have once attempted some sort of a fail-safe system against the controller-related slowdown, but it ended up misfiring every now and then, disconnecting my perfectly functioning controller. I found this much more irritating than the problem itself.
I wish YoYo fixes this problem once and for all at some point, it's been in GameMaker since GM8. That's, like, 6 years ago!
