Making a big game is kind of like a Hydra. You cut off one head, two more will grow in its place. This time, when I “fixed” the shop system, I screwed up by having an error message pop up. So, anyone who downloaded version 1.0.4 or 1.0.5, I apologize. A newer version with that shop definitely fixed (I hope) has been released. …oh, and expect to earn more hearts, and less money and bombs and shurikens.
…oh, and this game’s supposed to be a complete game. Again, transfer your old saves, blah blah blah.
Again, I have to apologize, but thank you all for your support. If I’m lucky, this should be my last one…
Next up
In case nobody noticed before, a lot of elements of the Robot Maid game come from the Shiro Ninja games, and ideas I would've done for a sequel. This guy is gonna behave like a similar guy from Shiro Ninja Mayhem, but fit this game's art style.
All that work doing research on the Amazon Rainforest as a level, and THIS is what I come up with?
...well, I'll change the tiles later. I want the ground to be more foresty, and that means working on a tileset.
This is literally one of the first cutscenes, after the first level. Like I said, I'd rather do Sega CD-style cutscenes, but this will do.
...it's also the most complete-looking cutscene right now. I thought you'd like a look.
If there's one thing I learned from looking at the graphics of NES Batman, it's that they put gray highlights with red shading to make metal look a little rusty.
I'll know if I did my job right when I get to actually making the level.
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.
Well, I was looking through some old files, and found some cool stuff.
I think I now understand why that construction vehicle company is called Caterpillar.
...and that's just the wheels for this boss.
The Saw-Pod is a machine for lumber work. It uses a bigger laser chainsaw, can cover the user's face, and has a built-in jetpack for those hard-to-reach places.
You'll have to beat them up in-game, though.
Someone might ask, "Why laser chainsaws?"
Others might ask, "Why are you just repurposing the old DemoBot sprites again?"
It just makes more sense for DemoBots to be using laser chainsaws in the Rainforest. They're built for any job with a helmet.
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.
