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.

Looking through some old files again. Apparently, I've been making games since 2006, at least. My high school days.

My pixel art sucked back then, but I kept at it, and didn't post games until 2010.

...and yes, that IS Slasher Kabuki.

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.

Ever since the first boss, I've had graphics for this bulldozer.

Junkyards have bulldozers, and all sorts of old robots.

So, I'm putting the bulldozer in the junkyard as a minor enemy, as well as unused GFX from the scrapped convention level.

Understood?

...okay, I might have overdone it.

If you need a sciencey explanation for how a giant magnet can float, it's the same way cars float: little rapidly-spinning magnets.

It doesn't make much sense in reality, but I'm sticking with this story.

Still shaping out that junkyard.

The sky is a dirty green, the background is a painful quilt of grayness to draw, and the ground is still made of fruitcake.

I have noticed and am fully aware of the similarities between my Robot Maid game and my previous Ninja games.

It shouldn't hurt to lean into it, but not go too far. It should still have its own identity.

What this guy has to do with both, figure it out.

If you don't want to buy a scanner or want to manually scale things down to 320 x 240, there's always Flipnote Studio. (...maybe.)

Drag the little box to the bottom-left, then take photos of your black-and-white ink work.

If you don't know what a junkyard looks like, you could end up with a street paved with fruitcake, walls made of allegedly compressed garbage, and broken cars.

Real junkyards aren't as interesting as Toy Story 3 and The Brave Little Toaster like to show.
