Still working on it.
There's definitely treasure around here, but it'll still take a while 'til we reach it.
Three reasons to be going after the treasure:
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.
There. One sequence dedicated to the phrase "Breathe it in" has been animated.
It was either gonna be this, or a text box going "*sniiiifffffffff* Ahhhhh."
The hair might need work, though.
...well... This is awkward.
Yes, I CAN make an animated background within a matte, with a shifting color palette. However, I realize this doesn't look like lava, no matter which way you shake it.
...the effect's cool, though.
Some big motions require big animation.
The least I can do is try to get the big motions right before drawing all the other details.
Plan B for this sequence.
Now with real-time cleaning action, and a stretching sprite for the arm.
Resistance is futile.
If you've had your fill of games where you play as elephants and blue hedgehogs, this might be for you.
...and I haven't advertised this the best, but it's coming.
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.
