Do you know how hard it is to get THIS shot?

Like I said, I'm making level thumbnails for the Level Select screen. Also, this gives you a good idea how big the max health bar is.

If you think YOU're asking "Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet?" then just imagine how I feel every time I have to add little details and bug fixes.

...I'd better make a trailer or pitch reel.

Well, finding glitches was bound to happen.

In this case, with a scrolling boss, the player's trapped on the left side of the screen until there's no solid block there.

I'd better fix that, THEN shrink the gap behind the boss.

...well... This is awkward.

Yes, I CAN make an animated background within a matte, with a shifting color palette. However, I realize this doesn't look like lava, no matter which way you shake it.

...the effect's cool, though.

"Sir, is the Super Scaler effect really necessary for a cutscene like this?"

"I coded it, didn't I?"

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.

Back in the old days, you could just flash between these two frames to make dynamic lighting, to show something's flashing in front of her.

I'm just gonna use the other frame to indicate the lights are on. No flashing required.

I guess I can show these things on April Fools day.

They are NOT going into the Robot Maid game, but they're still in the code.

I'm pretty sure I got the save feature working, though I don't know if three save files is acceptable.

Then again, the save features are for Casual Play only. Arcade and Caravan Modes don't let you save your game, for hopefully obvious reasons.

...another fine mess you got yourself into.

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