The best way to let everyone play with whatever controller they want is to let players test it out, reconfigure it, and let them test it again.

...it's a bit messy, since this is a game that should support two players.

Too much?

There are only so many ways to draw starbases, and all of them require a window into space. This one happens to also be a factory.

Part of the debugging experience is making sure enemies don't spawn in walls.

...but this is a great way to show off the shotgun in action.

I hope you appreciate what I go through for pointless details like this.

I don't plan on going this crazy too much, though.

So it begins.

It doesn't help that the three forms share parts, but not body arrangements, but nobody's perfect.

...hopefully, people will see this guy as an homage, and not as infringement.

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.

I realize some players just want to play the game and see the story, while others may actually want to use those revival items, so here's a little compromise for you all.

Also, yes, I NEED to put on that "Pro" flag everywhere.

The next update may be full of bugs.

...moths, mostly.

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.

Also not the final boss. Again, I may have gone a bit too far in a few places.

Now that the rigs for this boss are done, I'd better get around to animating them.
