Game
Terry's Treasure Trouble!
2 years ago

The game is complete!!

...but not ready. Yet.

There are quite a few things I need to do before I consider releasing it, including testing, bug fixes, and any necessary bells and whistles.

I've still got time, I reckon.

I don't know if I went too far, or not far enough. The hand-clamps work, but that's not being demonstrated here.

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.

Three reasons to be going after the treasure:

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).

...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.

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.

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.

Still working on it.

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

What's taking me so long? Designing assets for the volcano level. Also, allergies.

Boom boom acka-lacka-lacka boom, boom boom acka-lacka boom boom.

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".
