Terry's Treasure Trouble!

The SAGE 2023 Demo for Terry's Treasure Trouble is now on this page!


...I really should've put this here sooner.

SAGE has come and gone, and my game, while it had seemingly over 100 downloads over there, didn't get much recognition.

Oh, well. Might as well put out the SAGE Demo here.

Just beware that the SAGE Demo has a lot of features stripped out for demo purposes, including saving, a whole bunch of levels, teleporters, and access to more than one world. Also, I hadn't programmed that new camera system for the demo.

However, if you manage to collect all the crystals in the demo, you can potentially access the Special Stage behind the Mysterious gate.

...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:

This will be the last Bonus Stage I'll make for the game, because all the others are already developed.

Hopefully, there'll be more than dodging space potatoes, and I'll fix the HUD to not be the same one as the racing section.

Still working on it.

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

We aren't in deep space. We're above the earth. There are no space potatoes above the earth. There's space debris, though.

The real trick now is figuring out what the starbase you're flying into looks like.

The arms are done.

Now, let's see if adding wings is too much...

Behold, blending vertex positions!

Old position + ((number between 0 and 1) * the difference between the old and new position)

This took so much math, it hurts. ...not the CPU, but it sure hurts me to do.

...and I've got four more angles to do this with.

I forgot I designed the auctioneer recently. If there are robot maids, there are robot butlers, too.

...and yes, I did get inspiration from Jughead. What was your first clue?

I made an up-to-date trailer for Terry's Treasure Trouble!

You know, in case it wasn't clear what kind of game this is.

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.
