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.

…cue the five new followers.

We aren't in deep space. We're above the earth. There are no space potatoes above the earth. There's space debris, though.

The real trick now is figuring out what the starbase you're flying into looks like.

Behold, blending vertex positions!

Old position + ((number between 0 and 1) * the difference between the old and new position)

This took so much math, it hurts. ...not the CPU, but it sure hurts me to do.

...and I've got four more angles to do this with.

The arms are done.

Now, let's see if adding wings is too much...

Concept art time!

Early on, Tiel had a backpack because in the fic she was originally created for, she was going on an adventure along with Rick. That's why I was kinda attached to her.

Nobody's going to mind a time-limited Bonus Stage as long as it's not mandatory to beat it, right?

...and nobody will mind if the developer himself has a hard time with it, either, right?

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

There. Another hand angle. It shouldn't have taken me this long, but this isn't my day job.

If I know what I'm doing, I can flip most of that hand, easily.

The hands have now been drawn.

Now, I'd better program something that does the math for me to do that polygon-blending trick.

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.

I probably should continue work on the final boss, but I wanted to show you what else I've been working on with this game.

Title menus are really important for home releases, and Game Overs are for less casual gamers.
