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.

Credit for the SAGE logo goes to VAdaPEGA, that demoscene meme-lord on Sonic Fan Games HQ.

Why a chrome sphere for this logo? Because I wanted to.

What happens in the "O" usually changes from game to game. Cybosaurs had Sinistar, Shiro Ninja had , Shiro Ninja Mayhem had Pirate Jack, Dragonian had the cast of Staff of Laria, and so on.

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.

Animation testing, again.

I map animations to keyboard buttons, then figure out the AI. Character movement is tied to the animations before adding the AI.

...and that's why I think a fighting-game mode can be programmed in this game.

Now going through the animation process. This could take a while.

It's kind of a wonder how Treasure managed to pull a front-facing boss moving sideways at least twice.

Three reasons to be going after the treasure:

When I was young and ambitious, I tried making a game called XSF Force. One element you might find (but not implemented) is this guy's talking head and body.

He's a reporter named Mr. Snyder.

I could reuse these GFX, if I clean 'em up a bit.

Looking through some old files again. Apparently, I've been making games since 2006, at least. My high school days.

My pixel art sucked back then, but I kept at it, and didn't post games until 2010.

...and yes, that IS Slasher Kabuki.

Welcome to Space.

...not much going on here, is there?

Still working on it.

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

That boss is now done, and implemented.

I can safely say I've completed half of the main game now, even though it's just the first three levels and the second-to-last.

Time to do something else.
