Splash Screen Parallax [GameMaker | Vfx]

This vfx video tutorial shows you how to visually upgrade your splash screen/backgrounds in GameMaker with a parallax plus some neat and cheap light effects.

The idea is quite simple: You need to have seperated images to create a pseudo 3D effect by enlarging and making them smaller in a rythmic slow time frame. For that you simply need to use the GameMaker's animation curves to tween in a loop. You also use the animation curves for the flashing lightning effect aswell as for some fake blinking lights on important spots. If your images are angled not like in the video straight forward (for example to the right like in Fury Unleashed) you also can use the animation curves to move (change the x,y position of the layers) where want to move. That's it!
