Oy.
10,000 downloads in over 7 years will give you such a crick in the neck.
I still want to outdo this game, and make something that can be sold, but we'll see.
If I wanted to get paid in exposure, I'd be showing these off at a con or expo.
Next up
It's taking me some time to figure out all this 3D nonsense, but it all seems to work.
Each one of those robots can launch twelve missiles from the background, and you have to dodge them.
...and here's the wind-up frame.
It only appears for four frames, and each animation state has its own proprietary wind-up setup, so the animation continues to flow.
Also, now I have incentive for guns, but probably need a fourth button for punches only.
Okay, so maybe looking up how NASA does shuttle launches isn't the best solution, but it's at least less '50s than a Flash Gordon-style rocketship.
I never said perspective was my strong suit, but I'll try, anyway.
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.
Concept art time!
Early on, Tiel had a backpack because in the fic she was originally created for, she was going on an adventure along with Rick. That's why I was kinda attached to her.
You know what? I think I'm almost done with this level. All I need to do now is put a cap to it, then a transition to the boss fight.
Thankfully, it'll be the ONLY sequence like this.
I figure it would be a bit cooler if we started flying at night, then as we cross time zones across the Atlantic, it would be daytime by the time the player reaches their destination in the UK.
...but it doesn't look like "night" yet.
Apparently, there are only three time zones between Brazil and the UK.
So, I might as well add some clouds and rain.
This is how I know Game Maker's random() function isn't very random:
I put in the Kid Pix "Draw Me" prompt into my game, and the phrase "I am Commander Salamander with a magic cookie jar, and I live in your bathtub" is consistently the first thing I see.
As mentioned before, I've got a little variable called ScrewIt for testing purposes.
At the end of the level, we'll see this wall, followed by a sequence leading up to the level's boss.
...IIIIIN SPAAAAAACE!
