Game
Dragonian: The Imbalance of Sierr

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.

Sometimes, the hardest thing when designing a boss is scaling its AI and collision boxes so the player actually stands a chance.

That being said, Clampor's finally implemented, ready to take on this little stretchy lady.

I don't know if I went too far, or not far enough. The hand-clamps work, but that's not being demonstrated here.

I figured out an easier way to program arranging angles on a rig.

It involves choosing which body part to move, then using the mouse to calculate an angle.

Namely, angle= point_direction(x, y, mouse_x, mouse_y).

Possible default protagonists, Charlie (guy with hat) and Bonnie (girl with dress). Using a similar palette, because I can.

I would alter the faces, but I like appeal, and without the pixel-noses, they'd look like chibis at that size.

First you draw parts, then program a rig for animation.

I need to work on the "What does this guy actually do" part.

Why, yes, programming an elephant IS hard. Making its eyes blue is a lot easier, but I'm not doing that.

I also had to make sure it's a robot elephant, specifically, because this is a robot circus, and it's unethical to use real elephants.

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.

This should help speed up the process.

...no guarantees, but until I have an official level-select menu, this'll do.

Despite anything resembling better judgment, and this not going into any demos, I decided to implement a swinging mechanic.

I got it working. You can control the swing (loosely), and can stretch and retract the arm. It even adds a bit of momentum.

What a bunch of clowns.
