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.

Almost there...

There's gonna be a second driving section without walls later.

Maybe this thing needs to be in a big jar.

Here I am, still trying to push the limits. I'm pretty sure there's a shader for Mode 7 out there, but this is what I've been working with.

Also, because of limitations, red flashing floors generate force fields you can bump into.

This is the driving sequence in action.

I don't have any original music for that part, and I can imagine that passing-through-flags sound getting annoying after a while.

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.

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.

The only thing harder than animating a set of wheels is making it handle like a set of wheels.

...and making an infinite floor without resorting to the official 3D engine.

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...

All this work to get punched in the face.

Like I said before, draw_background_tiled_ext() can't do rotation. ...but if I'm not rotating, I can use it without consequence for an infinite floor.

I'm gonna work on a system for the road to constantly spawn objects as I move forward in a sequence.
