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.

Nobody's going to mind a time-limited Bonus Stage as long as it's not mandatory to beat it, right?

...and nobody will mind if the developer himself has a hard time with it, either, right?

Still working on it.

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

Trust me, this is part of the process of making cinematics.

If I can't do Sega CD-style, but don't want to resort solely to visual-novel style, I'll take Sierra-Adventure-Game on CD route.

...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.

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.

Three reasons to be going after the treasure:

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?

As part of the process, I learned that my new dialogue-scrolling system isn't perfect. It's possible to break it if you can push the button faster than humanly possible.

I guess I'd better dig out the Turbo controller for further testing.

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.

Okay, the bed's a bit bigger. There are other details I need to correct as well.

Sadly, the reunion between Pinafore and a conscious Timothy will have to wait.
