Next up
Robots fresh off the assembly line from the prosthetics factory.
I call the ones that crawl "Gwendy", after the dolls from Small Soldiers.
Three reasons to be going after the treasure:
There are a lot of robot arms in a prosthetics factory. They flail about, so don't get too close, or they'll hurt you.
I made an up-to-date trailer for Terry's Treasure Trouble!
You know, in case it wasn't clear what kind of game this is.
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.
Still working on it.
There's definitely treasure around here, but it'll still take a while 'til we reach it.
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.
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.
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...
This background full of conveyor belts might make it a bit more factory-like, but it's still ominous.
