Progress Report Development Diary # 5

#draco #dragon #indie #game #wip


Hello again everyone, hope you guys are having a good Memorial day Weekend. That usually means the start of summer vacation.

If you haven't seen it already, I uploaded a new update, I should have waited but I got excited. I got a simple tileset for the intro stage and I got the stars, which will be the collectable items, coded in too. And they're working perfectly. Although I will admit, I'm thinking about replacing the tileset for the intro stage, just so they're consistent throughout the game, then again, I don't really want anything over the top for the intro stage, because it's gonna be short and sweet, so you can get used to the game and the controls. Well, I'll think about it.

Anyways, I'm really proud with the progress I made so far. I mean look at this. It's so amazing, I'm in love with this. I'm still learning how to code, but Udemy helped a lot, and GML (GameMaker Language) is pretty simple once you get the hang of it. And the art, I just love how cartoony it is, you rarely see this art style for video games these days, now that I think about it. Oh, I can't wait to finish this game and make more, but still gotta pace myself and take my time with this one, we don't want another Sonic 2006 or E.T. right?

As I said, in the last update, I'll be taking a break from the game for while. Actually, I've been working on this thing for a like month now and I could use a quick break so they're won't be any updates for some time. Besides I'm at a good stopping point so why not. I'll be using this time to make art promoting the game. And I'll do some crossovers too.

All righty guys, have a good Memorial Day Weekend. And thanks again for your support for the game it really means a lot :D

Here are 2 cartoons of Draco with 2 of the game bosses. These were fun to do and helped me with motivation to work on the game.

Drawing I made to celebrate Super Mario's 40th anniversary. Happy Mario Day.

Working on the animations. It takes time, even on Procreate, but it's rewarding seeing my characters move.

I'm thinking about changing name of the game to: Draco Dragon. It sounds more original to me and easier to identify. What do you guys think?

Hard to stop and smell the flowers when you're a dragon.

Been a while since I showed a gameplay video. Some slight differences such as new sprite effects. Also I'm bringing back the hint signs, sorry for removing them.
