Well, this might give you an idea of the kind of scope my cutscenes will go.

I probably should hire voice actors, but I think I'd rather do what I can without money first.

A rather interesting thing I forgot about...

He's coming back. ...but just this once.

Plan B for this sequence.

Now with real-time cleaning action, and a stretching sprite for the arm.

Still doing cinematics.

It still requires a lot of drawing of new assets, and I just put in that Mode 7 effect for later cutscenes.

The best way to let everyone play with whatever controller they want is to let players test it out, reconfigure it, and let them test it again.

...it's a bit messy, since this is a game that should support two players.

First, I hand-draw it and ink it with a felt-tip pen. Then I scan it, making an HD image. Then I save it as a 16-color BMP, then clean it up and crop it. Then I add color and transparency effects.

For games, I shrink the HD version for the game's window.

Once again, I felt like compiling a font I made into a sheet.

Why? So YOU can use it and modify it, and so you won't get sued by Monotype for using Arial in a commercial project.

As the first major cutscene, I have to show the scale without going crazy with drawing too much.

As such, these two DemoBots up front do a bit of acting, and we never see them again.

Just a reminder. It's coming on the 16th, assuming nothing goes wrong.
