Well, it’s been a month since Dragonian has been released. It’s nice to get a lot of feedback for this, and it’s also been appearing in a few Chinese websites for some reason I don’t understand. Also, I’d like to thank those of you who are doing Let’s Plays of this. That helps a lot, too.
I’ve been hearing that there’s been demand for a sequel to it for some reason. Personally, I’d be willing to do a sequel, but I’ve got two different directions I could take it.
So, I’d like to ask you guys some questions.
First off, what did you like and hate about Dragonian?
Have you even beaten the game?
If so, who did you end up with in the end?
Do you guys have any questions about the first one? You know, BESIDES “how do you beat…” or “Where’s that one Heart Piece?”
Lastly, what would you want to see in a sequel? …and don’t just say “More of the same.” If you wanted more of the same, why don’t you just play the game all over again? …and go after the other girl?
Honestly, I have two story ideas planned, but I figure your opinions would help as to which one I should use. Thank you all for playing, and thank you for your time.
Next up
Two-level demo for Robot Maid P-NA-4 is here!
...but the game's still not in active development right now.
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.
What a bunch of clowns.
Well, I was looking through some old files, and found some cool stuff.
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.
Why, yes, programming an elephant IS hard. Making its eyes blue is a lot easier, but I'm not doing that.
I also had to make sure it's a robot elephant, specifically, because this is a robot circus, and it's unethical to use real elephants.
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.
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 figured out an easier way to program arranging angles on a rig.
It involves choosing which body part to move, then using the mouse to calculate an angle.
Namely, angle= point_direction(x, y, mouse_x, mouse_y).
This should help speed up the process.
...no guarantees, but until I have an official level-select menu, this'll do.
