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.

Someone might ask, "Why laser chainsaws?"

Others might ask, "Why are you just repurposing the old DemoBot sprites again?"

It just makes more sense for DemoBots to be using laser chainsaws in the Rainforest. They're built for any job with a helmet.

If there's one thing I learned from looking at the graphics of NES Batman, it's that they put gray highlights with red shading to make metal look a little rusty.

I'll know if I did my job right when I get to actually making the level.

This is literally one of the first cutscenes, after the first level. Like I said, I'd rather do Sega CD-style cutscenes, but this will do.

...it's also the most complete-looking cutscene right now. I thought you'd like a look.

The Saw-Pod is a machine for lumber work. It uses a bigger laser chainsaw, can cover the user's face, and has a built-in jetpack for those hard-to-reach places.

You'll have to beat them up in-game, though.

In case nobody noticed before, a lot of elements of the Robot Maid game come from the Shiro Ninja games, and ideas I would've done for a sequel. This guy is gonna behave like a similar guy from Shiro Ninja Mayhem, but fit this game's art style.

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.

I think I now understand why that construction vehicle company is called Caterpillar.

...and that's just the wheels for this boss.

All that work doing research on the Amazon Rainforest as a level, and THIS is what I come up with?

...well, I'll change the tiles later. I want the ground to be more foresty, and that means working on a tileset.

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.

Too much?

There are only so many ways to draw starbases, and all of them require a window into space. This one happens to also be a factory.
