Dragonian: The Imbalance of Sierr

Dragonian is here!


Are you all finally ready for a new Zelda ripo— er, Zelda-like experience?

Dragonian: The Imbalance of Sierr is finally here. Sure, it’s one day early, but it’s worth it. It’s a game that takes lots of inspiration from the Zelda franchise, and as such, plays like one. I don’t want to spoil the story any further than I already have, so play it. Do Let’s Plays, and get the word out. …and play it.

Oh, and if you find any bugs that could potentially make the game unplayable, contact me. I did my best to squish them all, I think, so there had better not be any bad bugs.

Well, this might give you an idea of the kind of scope my cutscenes will go.

I probably should hire voice actors, but I think I'd rather do what I can without money first.

Once again, I felt like compiling a font I made into a sheet.

Why? So YOU can use it and modify it, and so you won't get sued by Monotype for using Arial in a commercial project.

First, I hand-draw it and ink it with a felt-tip pen. Then I scan it, making an HD image. Then I save it as a 16-color BMP, then clean it up and crop it. Then I add color and transparency effects.

For games, I shrink the HD version for the game's window.

The DemoBots need graphics for cutscenes, too. Yes, they become a joke as the game progresses, but they're a natural enemy for a robot maid.

Shocking.

Positively shocking.

Still doing cinematics.

It still requires a lot of drawing of new assets, and I just put in that Mode 7 effect for later cutscenes.

Well, I was looking through some old files, and found some cool stuff.

As the first major cutscene, I have to show the scale without going crazy with drawing too much.

As such, these two DemoBots up front do a bit of acting, and we never see them again.

I just scanned in some artwork. I do a lot of hand-drawing for reference, but there is a bit of a gap between the hand-drawn stuff and the pixel art.

Again, I hand-draw with my left, and do pixels with my right.

The way her telescopic arms work has always been fudged in-game and in art, so I'm wondering if I should animate Pinafore cleaning the family portrait with this sprite-chain arm.
