Sure. TWO layers of "painted" backgrounds. Makes the area feel more lived in.

Still working on it.

There's definitely treasure around here, but it'll still take a while 'til we reach it.

You never know when you're gonna need an attack helicopter.

Also, I know I like drawing vehicles like they're low-res CG models from the '90s.

Heavy enemies take a bit more work to stun, much less defeat. The guy here takes four punches in a row to stun, or a powerful-enough shot. Regular bullets don't move him an inch.

Kinda experimenting with the background here. It might come off as a big, flat painting, though.

Should I bring back that perspective BG thing from my previous game? Or give this another BG layer?

Three reasons to be going after the treasure:

What's taking me so long? Designing assets for the volcano level. Also, allergies.

Boom boom acka-lacka-lacka boom, boom boom acka-lacka boom boom.

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.

A few details not in the video:

There are plans for multiple types of guns.

The combo meter (little yellow meter) can build up to 4 Charged attacks. At max, you use the electrifying screen-nuke. Otherwise, you do a crowd-control spin attack.

Curse you, subpixel math and solid block interactions!

This is a common Game Maker problem when colliding into a corner in a lot of platform games. It thinks it's hitting a wall and the ground at the same time.

Edit: I think I've fixed it.
