Progress so far and what might be coming

#draco #dragon #wip #update


Hello again.

I'm almost done with coding Draco. He's so, so close. Just one more thing and he should be do. Then everything else will collisions with obstacles and bosses and projectiles, but that's pretty easy to code and I'm not too worried about that. Once he's done, the REAL action starts.

I'm gonna rework test room, into an actual intro stage to introduce, the game and the mechanics. Then I'll work on the real 1st level of the game Fungi Woods. I gotta animate the exclusive enemies in this level, and the boss himself Spoison. And I also gotta make the background too.

I might be able to get the demo done before the end of the year as planned, but if things happen (cuz that's life), the latest the demo will be released is early next year. I still gotta the music too, and of course sound effects, don't worry I haven't forgotten about them.

One last thing. As you guys know I use Procreate, to make both the art and sprites for the game. Well, the creators of Procreate, are gonna release a full time animation software called, Procreate Dreams. I'm super excited for that, because I'll be able to animate things I couldn't do in with Animation Assist in Procreate. My plan is hopefully adding simple animated scenes to the game, mainly the opening and the ending, using Procreate Dreams. But animating is pretty tough to learn, plus doing that will delay the game even further. Still this is something I'll consider doing, after learning Procreate Dreams.

Well, guess that's about it. See you in the next update.

I'm thinking about changing name of the game to: Draco Dragon. It sounds more original to me and easier to identify. What do you guys think?

Been a while since I showed a gameplay video. Some slight differences such as new sprite effects. Also I'm bringing back the hint signs, sorry for removing them.

Happy Pokémon day. I don't have anything new, but here some old drawings of my favorite Pokémon Charizard.

Here are 2 cartoons of Draco with 2 of the game bosses. These were fun to do and helped me with motivation to work on the game.

Did anyone else get this weird comment or anything like this. I mean what's this about?

Looks like Draco's friend Bugsy is playing Cupid today.

Happy Valentine's Day 💘
