A simpler episode after last weeks shotgun blast of information. This time we're adding floating damage numbers to our attacks and applying a visual death state to various units. Source code is already available on itch. 

Will be added to the playlist upon public release on either Thurs or Friday.

Episode 5 is written and on the way too, hopefully later this week!

I'm so excited about this series, Shaun! Forgive me if you've already said elsewhere, but about how many episodes do you think it'll wind up being?

I'll be going through this on the weekend. Great tutorials in this series. It's been very helpful for the game I'm working on and for working in Gamemaker more generally. Quick note, though, for some reason Itch.io won't allow me to download the file for part 4. It shows the file as being downloadable, but when I hit the download button, the dialog box doesn't show any file to download. All of the other files, including the full project, have been fine up to this point for me. I used the Patreon access link, too, in Itch. Let me know if you think this is something on my end. I haven't been able to troubleshoot the issue myself thus far, unfortunately.
