Next up
A rather interesting thing I forgot about...
Just a reminder. It's coming on the 16th, assuming nothing goes wrong.
All this work to get punched in the face.
I was considering releasing the expansion today, but then I found a lot of bugs I should've spotted in the original build, and I made the minimap do extra stuff for said expansion.
Don't worry, it'll be out by tomorrow night.
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...
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.
A step-by-step process for bigger sprites.
GM Studio 1 works like Windows XP's Paint, but with nicer features. As such, even a lefty like me can learn to draw right-handed with a Line tool.
Coming soon to another update.
Lemme get some work done with it first, then we'll talk.
The only thing harder than animating a set of wheels is making it handle like a set of wheels.
...and making an infinite floor without resorting to the official 3D engine.
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.
