Happy Zelda Month


It’s been a while since I posted anything. The truth is my living situation changed, and I currently don’t have a working computer to make anything on. However, I’m determined to buy a new one and get the third Belgrad game done. It’s at least 60% complete, anyway.

Anyhow, it’s Zelda month, if PeanutButterGamer has anything to say. I’m glad you people like this game, and those who don’t, I don’t blame you. Chances are that Peebs won’t know this game exists, but this is still something Zelda-related, so I might as well bring this to people’s attention. Also, I’m grateful the Big N hasn’t taken me down. :P

Also, once I get a working computer, do you think an expansion pack would be a good fit for this game? I can’t promise a new story, but I can do new levels, towns, dungeons, and other stuff.

Anyway, happy Zelda month. Hopefully everything goes well for all of us, and I’ll still plan on finishing that third Belgrad game.

So, what's the secret to drawing a car?

1. Just draw the car from profile, back, and possibly front.

2. Dig out any Hot Wheels product for reference.

3. Use the reference to figure out how to draw those in-between angles.

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...

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 might have gone too far in a few places, and not enough in others.

What kind of bad guys do you see at a prosthetics factory?

These Leg Gunners are part of the security system.

I could have a part where the factory builds robots for you to beat up, but they're gonna be humanoids. They'd probably be like skinless T-800s.

This background full of conveyor belts might make it a bit more factory-like, but it's still ominous.

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.

First off, you can't rotate a background with draw_background_tiled. However, you can draw anything on a BIG surface, and a surface can be rotated and doubled up.

So, the infinite floor uses a surface, and now it's not chugging so hard. Look at the FPS.

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.

Robots fresh off the assembly line from the prosthetics factory.

I call the ones that crawl "Gwendy", after the dolls from Small Soldiers.
