Game
Dragonian: The Imbalance of Sierr
7 years ago

So... do you want something sequel-like?


Hello.
I’ve been recently making a 3D platform game that uses similar code to Dragonian. It’s not exactly a sequel, but it reuses a lot of source code. Also, this new game I’m working on has a better camera and WASD controls. It plays more like an FPS, but is still third-person.

Want to take a look at it? It’s not complete, but I’ve got something playable. I would like your input so I know what to improve upon. I want this game to become superior to Dragonian, so I can fix problems before official release.

I figure you guys might be interested. If you are, I’ll keep working on it.

EDIT: The prototype’s been uploaded! You’ll find it here: https://gamejolt.com/games/LaserDave/333335

Again, still needs a bit of work.

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.

There. MUCH better.

In The Future, space jets come with their own air-to-space rockets, and consume less liquid fuel. They might need to drop the rocket fuel tank, but at least it's not a giant cylinder. It's a big wedge instead.

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.

It helps to draw another angle. Can't say it's great, but if this thing is launching into space, another angle helps make the sequence work.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
