Trying to do that Infinite Floor thing (technically, it's a trick of the camera), and I think it chugs.
Makes sense, since it's drawing on one surface over and over for each scanline, then putting that on another surface, which puts that on-screen.
Hmm...
First off, you can't rotate a background with draw_background_tiled. However, you can draw anything on a BIG surface, and a surface can be rotated and doubled up.
So, the infinite floor uses a surface, and now it's not chugging so hard. Look at the FPS.
So, what's the secret to drawing a car?
1. Just draw the car from profile, back, and possibly front.
2. Dig out any Hot Wheels product for reference.
3. Use the reference to figure out how to draw those in-between angles.
This background full of conveyor belts might make it a bit more factory-like, but it's still ominous.
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 might have gone too far in a few places, and not enough in others.
What kind of bad guys do you see at a prosthetics factory?
These Leg Gunners are part of the security system.
I could have a part where the factory builds robots for you to beat up, but they're gonna be humanoids. They'd probably be like skinless T-800s.
Well, I was looking through some old files, and found some cool stuff.
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.
There are a lot of robot arms in a prosthetics factory. They flail about, so don't get too close, or they'll hurt you.
