Chitin: 48 Generated Insects for GameMaker is a GameMaker asset for GameMaker, paid.
Chitin draws 48 insect species for GameMaker 2024 in pure GML, beetles, butterflies and moths built from numbers with no sprites, royalty free in commercial games. It also ships the field, the catch and the collector's cabinet that turn insects into a game.
What is inside 48 species · 6 body plans · 8 patterning programs · 8 antenna forms · 5 leg forms · 18 cuticles · 8 habitats · 6 seasons · 6 times of day · 4 weathers · 6 escape programs. Every species is a row of numbers. Change one and a slender beetle turns round, or a splinter becomes a ladybird.
Structural colour: a jewel beetle shimmers from green to copper as a band moving across the shell. ctn_field_now(habitat, season, daypart, weather) returns what a player would meet right now, commonest first. The approach: each animal has an alarm radius and an escape program, so walking slowly gets your player closer.
The cabinet: a drawer the player fills, scored by rarity, with the missing species drawn as gaps. ctn_field_separates(a, b) names the field marks that tell two species apart, ready for an identification game. All 48 species at the size a cabinet plate draws them. A field guide page.
