The Level-Up Update announcement


Here. It's my ZAGE announcement. I've been planning this for a while. Also, since I'm doing this to announce the level-up update, I might as well make it fun.

You can actually find this sequence in-game, but it'll require a certain code.

Well, finding glitches was bound to happen.

In this case, with a scrolling boss, the player's trapped on the left side of the screen until there's no solid block there.

I'd better fix that, THEN shrink the gap behind the boss.

Back in the old days, you could just flash between these two frames to make dynamic lighting, to show something's flashing in front of her.

I'm just gonna use the other frame to indicate the lights are on. No flashing required.

Don't worry, I backed up the other one, but I'm going with this for the alien spacecraft. Part UFO, part retrofuturist rocket, and only three tentacles for the tripod look.

"Sir, is the Super Scaler effect really necessary for a cutscene like this?"

"I coded it, didn't I?"

I hope you appreciate what I go through for pointless details like this.

I don't plan on going this crazy too much, though.

There. One sequence dedicated to the phrase "Breathe it in" has been animated.

It was either gonna be this, or a text box going "*sniiiifffffffff* Ahhhhh."

The hair might need work, though.

Coming soon to another update.

Lemme get some work done with it first, then we'll talk.

Just a reminder. It's coming on the 16th, assuming nothing goes wrong.

Part of the expansion involves a cute little fight right here. ...in space for no apparent reason.

...too bad it won't be as epic as the final boss, but still...

Whoooooa, we're halfway there!

...in terms of cutscenes.
