Dragonian's second build and source code release


Hi. It’s me again, NukeOTron. I’ve still been trying to figure out what game to make next. A third Belgrad’s been a work in progress, along with an 8-bit RPG which has been working out beautifully. (if I have the time to work on it) Also, I’ve been planning on getting a new computer so I can start working in Unity or something.

Also, to attempt to address complaints with this game, I’ve released my GM8.1 source code out into the wild here and released the version I usually play, just to compare and contrast its performance issues.

So tell me, which one runs better: Definitive Version A or Definitive Version B? I need to know.

Oh, and you can still transfer old saves.

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.

Does anyone want sprite fonts? Here's a starter pack.

Good luck assembling it, and modify it any way you want.

Two-level demo for Robot Maid P-NA-4 is here!

...but the game's still not in active development right now.

Something in the plan for this game will change. With any luck, it will be a change for the better.

When you don't know about copyright laws when it comes to fonts, you either take a chance, or make your own.

Of course, in the world of sprite art, that doesn't leave many options.

As a writer, you learn to just make stuff up. As a science-fiction writer, you justify the stuff you just make up.

"Derma" is related to "skin", and "myo" is related to "myoelectric prosthesis".

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.

I got the keyboard and gamepad input-changing in here.

Try to keep track of the difference between using strings (for the labels on each key) and using actual variables (how the game interprets inputs).

In case anyone forgot, robots explode.

So do robot maids.

I know. It looks pretty much the same as before. I just needed the motivation to do more with it.

...and an excuse for all sorts of robots at a convention to be attacking Pinafore, specifically.
