Progress on the third Belgrad Game


Hello. In case you don’t know, Belgrad: Curse of the Castle is the second Belgrad game, and I’m working on the third one. I got my brand-new computer, and I’ve just been polishing up the third game. More dialogue for NPCs has been implemented. The bugs with the controllers (which I haven’t noticed until now) have been fixed for this project. (Tell me if I need to fix them on Curse of the Castle. I’ll gladly do it.) I’ve added some more animation. Some more enemies have been added. I’ve even made a saveable settings screen just in case, including turning on and off particle effects and a recently-implemented rumble feature.
Overall, I’m making good progress now. However, if I were to sell this third Belgrad game, I think I’ll need to find a publisher first. (…and that’s a big IF.)

Anyway, here’s another screenshot.

Why does this robot get twin six-shooters? Because these robots can only keep so many missiles, but you never run out of energy blasts from six-shooters.

That, and symmetry, and they look cool.

What? Did you think all robot maids had jet skis? Of course not. This one takes rides on top of a flying car.

I'm gonna have to draw scene-specific sprites for Pinafore, though. One doesn't simply stand on top of a car and not have that hair flap.

Testing out a tentacle...

I don't normally do mockups, but since the mockup is in-engine, I'll make an exception. It helps me figure out whether or not drop-shadows (and enemies that move in the background) would be effective in this level.

...I think the answer is "yes".

If you're flying over the ocean, it doesn't leave you much choice in what kind of bad guys you fight. They have to fly, too.

I know it isn't a very lady-like pose, but it keeps her stable on a speeding vehicle.

Also, I don't need to animate walking in this section.

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.

The ocean is merely a trapezoid, using one tiled surface.

She's not gonna be standing in the water. She'll be standing on something else, floating above it.

To quote George Lucas, "I might have gone a bit too far in a few places."
