Belgrad: Curse of the Castle gets an update


That’s right; the good Belgrad game is getting a much-needed update. Not only does it make the game a teensy bit more playable with some game controller fixes, but a bug in one of the modes (not the boss rush or Sophia Belgrad as a whole) has been fixed.
Also, it’s in a zip format for you Windows XP users out there.

Why did I fix this? Well, while working on the third Belgrad game (which still needs a proper title, BTW), I noticed these bugs with my brand-new computer, and I just had to fix them. Nobody wants to play an unplayable game, you know. Even I believe this.

Again, I’m working on the third game. It’s technically complete, but still needs music.

I decided that the fourth button will be used for switching between using weapons, and not using them. Why? Because it works with the mouse's scroll wheel.

Also, you've got an indicator at the top-left if you've got the gun active or not.

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.

Now going through the animation process. This could take a while.

It's kind of a wonder how Treasure managed to pull a front-facing boss moving sideways at least twice.

Testing out a tentacle...

When I was young and ambitious, I tried making a game called XSF Force. One element you might find (but not implemented) is this guy's talking head and body.

He's a reporter named Mr. Snyder.

I could reuse these GFX, if I clean 'em up a bit.

Animation testing, again.

I map animations to keyboard buttons, then figure out the AI. Character movement is tied to the animations before adding the AI.

...and that's why I think a fighting-game mode can be programmed in this game.

One of the bonus stages will be a top-down stage where you try to stop the Demolition robots from smashing the summer home.

...but I don't know whether or not failing a bonus stage should "count". I think the worst bonus stages in gaming are mandatory.

Welcome to Space.

...not much going on here, is there?

Why a chrome sphere for this logo? Because I wanted to.

What happens in the "O" usually changes from game to game. Cybosaurs had Sinistar, Shiro Ninja had , Shiro Ninja Mayhem had Pirate Jack, Dragonian had the cast of Staff of Laria, and so on.
