It's only MOSTLY done.


Okay, so now, I’ve got most of the game programmed. This means ALL the gameplay stuff is made. All that is missing is the story bits, original music, and polish here and there.
So… since the game is only mostly complete, should I even release a fresh new beta now? If I do, it’ll probably not get noticed upon official release.

This should help speed up the process.

...no guarantees, but until I have an official level-select menu, this'll do.

I don't know if I went too far, or not far enough. The hand-clamps work, but that's not being demonstrated here.

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).

As a writer, you learn to just make stuff up. As a science-fiction writer, you justify the stuff you just make up.

"Derma" is related to "skin", and "myo" is related to "myoelectric prosthesis".

What a bunch of clowns.

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.

The First Two Bosses

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.

Updated HUD, HP system, and other collectibles! (including the bunnies)
