Slimey I apologize if this is not allowed here, since Slimey is not a game. Slimey is a fairytale movie, and has a mix of several Disney movies in it (The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Beauty & the Beast etc) to heighten the cliches and cheesiness. Slimey is a romantic movie about a slime that falls in love with a human girl, and wants to turn into a human himself to be with her. He sets out to visit the Witch, rumour says that she can turn a monster into a human. The Witch agrees to turn him into a human, in turn for his soul. She gives him an ultimatum, if Slimey manages to kiss the girl he loves before the full moon, he can keep his soul and his humanity. But if he doesn't ...
Slimey is a movie, NOT a game. It was made with VX to be one continuous long cutscene, and runs for about 1 hour and 5 minutes. It's unencrypted, so go ahead, nose around in the events. It uses parallax mapping for the great visuals, as well as other custom tiles/portraits. Sorry, no pause button, you'll have to make some time free if you want to make sure that the scenes will be in sync with the music. Now go download Slimey, sit back and relax, watch the show - and most importantly; have fun! Don't take it too seriously, you'll suck the fun out of Slimey then. Slimey is meant for entertainment, not to show how unique/original the storyline is.
Characters
Characters
Slimey/Sly Our main character! Slimey is a timid slime, and likes to forage for flowers because they're delicious. One day he meets a girl in the woods, and becomes quite interested in her. Eventually, he begins to like her and wants to turn into a human to be with her. Once transformed, he doesn't quite know how to act like a human just yet, but he's confident that he'll meet his true love. When he does meet her, she misunderstands him and thinks his name is Sly, and not Slimey. He can not speak in human language, and has a hard time grasping what someone is trying to say to him.
Karin Karin is our love interest in the story. She lives in a small village with her senile grandma, and likes to go to the forest to collect flowers. She's mostly reserved, but very adamant about hurting animals or monsters, and thus dislikes being around Ralph most of the time. Ralph seems to like her, but Karin has absolutely no interest in an arrogant guy like that. She tailors her own clothing, as well as for the villagers to earn some extra money.
Witch The Witch, who lives in a mysterious cave, surrounded by her magic. Slimey sets out to meet her, because he has heard rumours that she can turn him into a human. Albeit, that comes with a price ...
Ralph This arrogant guy lives in the same village as Karin, but is mostly out on adventures, fighting monsters and becoming strong. He seems to like Karin and tries to win her over, by showing off his awesome fighting powers, but nothing seems to have impressed her. When he meets Slimey, he becomes even more jealous.
Gloria The spoiled little girl from the village. She crushes on Ralph, and hates Karin's guts. She looks forward every year to the Full Moon Festival, because she loves the castle.
Grandma This is Karin's grandma. She's old, and has gone senile, promptly cursing at people whenever she feels like it. She used to be a nice quiet old lady though. Now she lives with her granddaughter and tailors clothing for the residents of the village.
I never thought it was possible, but you proved me wrong. This is a great "project" you had created. It has almost every element of an RPG, besides the actual playing. The story is nice, the music is nice, the mapping is awesome. I honestly don't know what to say, I would have loved it if it was a game, but the story intrigues me! So 9/10 from me Good work!
Extra Note: There are a lot of problems regarding the story, some characters change emotions without given reason or some character may just be beyond comprehension.. GRANDMAH. I'll explain if you wan't but you,re already finished so I doubt you want any criticism anyway

A project developed by Ambry. This used to be my old RMXP project but I converted it to GM8 and now Construct due to the game play possibilities. It's an action platformer with RPG elements and slight twists here and there. The project is based on 'The Seventh Tower' series by Garth Nix, but I assure you, I'm changing a lot of things!

I wish it was a game too Scriptless haha. Only with the way I parallaxed my maps, that wouldn't be a very wise choice. A movie for it fits perfectly since I'm in control of where the characters walk, and won't walk. The movie was also way of showing off graphics. Who said graphics don't matter?
@Amaro: Actually it's also a plus if you download the project and play from there because it'll be much smoother. Unless of course, you're one of the few that lags when it plays. YouTube only supports 30fps, which makes the camera moving/characters look kind of choppy (and my recording removed some of the frames as well). It's a shame. Have fun watching!

This looks absolutely awesome. Romance isn't my cup of tea, but in the humorous light you present it, it instantly grabs my interest.
I'll be downloading this.

I'd like to say that the post has now been updated with a newer version that allows you to pause during the movie by pressing spacebar. This was definitely needed for something that ran for over an hour.
