And now, an update to Dragonian


First off, thank you all for your support for this game.
Now, this update, labeled DragonianA.zip (because there was a DragonianB.zip for older models, but I can’t release it) is designed to hopefully perform better on post-XP computers as it doesn’t force Software Vertex Processing or something like that. This could mean the fan on your computer won’t act up as much. Also, just be aware I rebalanced the item distribution. So, if you don’t want to earn too many hearts or too many bombs/shurikens, this is for you.
Oh, and the cloning glitch is taken care of, probably.

Anyway, my plans for making a sequel to Dragonian are being constantly thwarted by reality. That is, my computer is acting up, and I’ve got some other real-life commitments. I have a script and some lead characters made, though. So… if anyone’s willing to help me make a sequel, state it now. CG modelers are greatly appreciated, especially those that understand the principles of animation and don’t animate everything like Baymax.
…and people who know Unity. That would help immensely.

On the other end, Indie Game Battle is going well. Rick’s not in it yet, but his stage is. Take a look at it. The link’s in the previous news update. (Don’t delete me, please.)

Anyway, thank you all for your support. I put a lot of work into this game, and it’ll take a lot more work if I could get a sequel actually started.

Someone might ask, "Why laser chainsaws?"

Others might ask, "Why are you just repurposing the old DemoBot sprites again?"

It just makes more sense for DemoBots to be using laser chainsaws in the Rainforest. They're built for any job with a helmet.

This is literally one of the first cutscenes, after the first level. Like I said, I'd rather do Sega CD-style cutscenes, but this will do.

...it's also the most complete-looking cutscene right now. I thought you'd like a look.

I think I now understand why that construction vehicle company is called Caterpillar.

...and that's just the wheels for this boss.

The Saw-Pod is a machine for lumber work. It uses a bigger laser chainsaw, can cover the user's face, and has a built-in jetpack for those hard-to-reach places.

You'll have to beat them up in-game, though.

Well, I was looking through some old files, and found some cool stuff.

Strangely enough, of all the games I've made .exes of, this is the one that STILL works on my current computer. And sometimes, I realize I made some poor decisions in game design with this one.

All that work doing research on the Amazon Rainforest as a level, and THIS is what I come up with?

...well, I'll change the tiles later. I want the ground to be more foresty, and that means working on a tileset.

In my game, I programmed a robot to chop down trees in real time. Yes, I know what it looks like, but still, maybe I've gone too far in a few places.

...and I HAVE to specify "in my game". I'm not a monster.

As part of the game's canon, there's been an ongoing war in the Amazon Rainforest. It's a war between the loggers and the environmentalists.

That being said, these trees have been "shaved off" for in-universe and future gameplay reasons.

Sometimes, you have to design a character for one scene only.

...and yes, she has to look kinda like April O'Neil, but not quite.
