I’m proud to announce that Dragonian: The Imbalance of Sierr is going to be released on June 20, 2015, which is a week from now.
…for those of you who aren’t in the loop, Dragonian is a game that takes a lot of inspiration from the whole Zelda series, and as such, plays like a Zelda game.
Anyway, for everyone else, I’ve just uploaded quite a few dungeon-related screenshots, in case you thought this would have nothing but grasslands. Take a look on the page, and see them for yourself.
That boss is now done, and implemented.
I can safely say I've completed half of the main game now, even though it's just the first three levels and the second-to-last.
Time to do something else.
Looking through some old files again. Apparently, I've been making games since 2006, at least. My high school days.
My pixel art sucked back then, but I kept at it, and didn't post games until 2010.
...and yes, that IS Slasher Kabuki.
Why a chrome sphere for this logo? Because I wanted to.
What happens in the "O" usually changes from game to game. Cybosaurs had Sinistar, Shiro Ninja had 
, Shiro Ninja Mayhem had Pirate Jack, Dragonian had the cast of Staff of Laria, and so on.
Animation testing, again.
I map animations to keyboard buttons, then figure out the AI. Character movement is tied to the animations before adding the AI.
...and that's why I think a fighting-game mode can be programmed in this game.
Now going through the animation process. This could take a while.
It's kind of a wonder how Treasure managed to pull a front-facing boss moving sideways at least twice.
One of the bonus stages will be a top-down stage where you try to stop the Demolition robots from smashing the summer home.
...but I don't know whether or not failing a bonus stage should "count". I think the worst bonus stages in gaming are mandatory.
Strangely enough, of all the games I've made .exes of, this is the one that STILL works on my current computer. And sometimes, I realize I made some poor decisions in game design with this one.
I have noticed and am fully aware of the similarities between my Robot Maid game and my previous Ninja games.
It shouldn't hurt to lean into it, but not go too far. It should still have its own identity.
What this guy has to do with both, figure it out.
When I was young and ambitious, I tried making a game called XSF Force. One element you might find (but not implemented) is this guy's talking head and body.
He's a reporter named Mr. Snyder.
I could reuse these GFX, if I clean 'em up a bit.
If there's going to be a save feature in my game, I might as well give the players their own kind of Level Select so they can replay it any way they want.
I know I should work on that boss, but still...
