Still working on it.

There's definitely treasure around here, but it'll still take a while 'til we reach it.

In case anyone forgot, robots explode.

So do robot maids.

...well... This is awkward.

Yes, I CAN make an animated background within a matte, with a shifting color palette. However, I realize this doesn't look like lava, no matter which way you shake it.

...the effect's cool, though.

Three reasons to be going after the treasure:

When it comes to robot maids, these are the latest models. Of course, Pinafore can beat them up any day of the week.

If you've had your fill of games where you play as elephants and blue hedgehogs, this might be for you.

...and I haven't advertised this the best, but it's coming.

Just wanted to try out what I mentioned earlier.

Also, I replaced Curly Sue with a character from a film directed by Chris Columbus, but has nothing to do with John Hughes.

Something in the plan for this game will change. With any luck, it will be a change for the better.

...let me be honest, the convention level isn't working well as a platformer.

So, I think I should add top-down sections. The combat would work about the same. I think you shouldn't jump in top-down mode, so sliding will take its place there.

Due to top-down levels working a little differently, it took me a bit to get motivated to program and animate Pinafore in five directions. (Three of these directions are mirrored for a total of eight.)

Unfortunately, that's the easy part.
