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.

Don't worry, I backed up the other one, but I'm going with this for the alien spacecraft. Part UFO, part retrofuturist rocket, and only three tentacles for the tripod look.

Line work first, then shading.

Also, if you're asking "where's her hair?", that's gonna animate separately.

I might have to put this in a little black box on-screen, but that's no problem for me.

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.

If you've had your fill of games where you play as elephants and blue hedgehogs, this might be for you.

...and I haven't advertised this the best, but it's coming.

...let's be honest, I'm a character designer, not a master of hi-res pixel art.

This is supposed to be the backside of a large alien spaceship. It looks too much like a giant escape pod with thrusters. I'm keeping the large tentacles, though.

Whoooooa, we're halfway there!

...in terms of cutscenes.

Some big motions require big animation.

The least I can do is try to get the big motions right before drawing all the other details.

Still working on it.

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

...another fine mess you got yourself into.

I'd better stop sharing these cutscene moments. I'm almost there.
