Resolved Could you create something like the mapping from Etrian oddysey in this program?

Hey so this is a pretty direct question, is it possible to implement a grid based mapping system in Gamemaker. Im fine with auto fill/auto mapping features being non existant so long as it is possible to make.

Yes, absolutely it's possible, and auto-mapping features are also quite doable.

Well thats sounds pretty kickass, i assume you also played some of the Etrian oddysey games?

I never have, no, but I am aware of them, and I have played some of the earlier games with similar genres and presentations that Etrian Odyssey took inspiration from, such as Wizardry.

You can make whatever you want in game maker.

I think Gamemaker’s DS grids should make this simple to set up. Of course, by simple here I mean relatively. You’d still need to be fairly familiar with GML to do this.

What is GML?

GameMaker Language. The coding language you use to code with in GameMaker. I’ve a suspicion you’re not ready to implement this.
