Game
Dragonian: The Imbalance of Sierr
10 years ago

So... what have I been up to?


First things first: since one Jessica Brown has been doing a video playthrough of my game, she’s mentioned a game-breaking bug. It’s been recently fixed in Version 1.2.1, and it involved Twelkin Buns and girlfriends.
So, go get it.

Anyway, for the past several months, I’ve been without a game-making program. Now that I have one, I realize that GM Studio changed everything, making a lot of functions that Dragonian exploited (namely running programs from txt files and using Midis) obsolete. So, making a sequel to Dragonian will have to wait.

Also, since I’ve got GM Studio, I’ve been making a little game from scratch to see what it can do. What is it? …a platform-adventure game that takes some influence from Castlevania. …but NOT a Metroidvania. I’m going to call it Belgrad for now. …and it’ll be an episodic series, maybe.

Lastly, Rick’s still going to be in Indie Game Battle… eventually.

This background full of conveyor belts might make it a bit more factory-like, but it's still ominous.

Despite all this work on the top-down segments, I'm not vibing with 'em.

...might as well send this into Bonus Stage purgatory, and make an additional platform stage.

Now, if I have enough motivation for Mode 7 stages, though...

...so much for that zany scheme.

Let's see if I can do something else.

There are a lot of robot arms in a prosthetics factory. They flail about, so don't get too close, or they'll hurt you.

Here. For reference.

For this one picture, they're either getting PS4'd, or they get faces.

Beware the front-facing DemoBots. They approach the summer home slowly, hoping to demolish it. It's nothing personal; it's just their job.

...but they didn't inform the Robot Maid. Demolition is messy business, and she can't let the house get messy.

If my plan for Sega CD-styled cinematics doesn't work out, Plan B would be the GBA-style cinematics.

If anything, they make decent filler.

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.

Robots fresh off the assembly line from the prosthetics factory.

I call the ones that crawl "Gwendy", after the dolls from Small Soldiers.

I need to know where to draw the line on this level.

It's supposed to be a prosthetics factory of The Future. It could use a lot more Factory, though.
