Game
Dragonian: The Imbalance of Sierr

5 years ago

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.

As a writer, you learn to just make stuff up. As a science-fiction writer, you justify the stuff you just make up.

"Derma" is related to "skin", and "myo" is related to "myoelectric prosthesis".

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.

Why, yes, programming an elephant IS hard. Making its eyes blue is a lot easier, but I'm not doing that.

I also had to make sure it's a robot elephant, specifically, because this is a robot circus, and it's unethical to use real elephants.

Despite anything resembling better judgment, and this not going into any demos, I decided to implement a swinging mechanic.

I got it working. You can control the swing (loosely), and can stretch and retract the arm. It even adds a bit of momentum.

Two-level demo for Robot Maid P-NA-4 is here!

...but the game's still not in active development right now.

First you draw parts, then program a rig for animation.

I need to work on the "What does this guy actually do" part.

I figured out an easier way to program arranging angles on a rig.

It involves choosing which body part to move, then using the mouse to calculate an angle.

Namely, angle= point_direction(x, y, mouse_x, mouse_y).

This should help speed up the process.

...no guarantees, but until I have an official level-select menu, this'll do.

Possible default protagonists, Charlie (guy with hat) and Bonnie (girl with dress). Using a similar palette, because I can.

I would alter the faces, but I like appeal, and without the pixel-noses, they'd look like chibis at that size.

Well, I was looking through some old files, and found some cool stuff.
