Dragonian: The Imbalance of Sierr

Third year since release


It’s been three years since I released Dragonian, and I want to thank you all for your support. So, I might as well update you all on how I’m doing.
I know I posted something on Laser Dave a while ago, but I got bored of working on it. Call it Early Access Syndrome, if you will. It was fun trying out better camera controls, but not exactly fun to QA. Also, Laser Dave’s level structure was too gamey and linear.
I’ve also been working on two projects: A surprise project, and the third Belgrad game. I can’t say much about the surprise project yet, but I can say I’ve got the main map of the third Belgrad game complete. …I just need to get the dungeons, NPCs, monsters, music, and all the other fun stuff done.

I know some of you still want a sequel to Dragonian, but you’ll have to wait or just be lucky. …or mod the game yourself. I did release the source code a while back, you know.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to go back to working on the third Belgrad game… hopefully.

Strangely enough, of all the games I've made .exes of, this is the one that STILL works on my current computer. And sometimes, I realize I made some poor decisions in game design with this one.

The Saw-Pod is a machine for lumber work. It uses a bigger laser chainsaw, can cover the user's face, and has a built-in jetpack for those hard-to-reach places.

You'll have to beat them up in-game, though.

This is literally one of the first cutscenes, after the first level. Like I said, I'd rather do Sega CD-style cutscenes, but this will do.

...it's also the most complete-looking cutscene right now. I thought you'd like a look.

In case nobody noticed before, a lot of elements of the Robot Maid game come from the Shiro Ninja games, and ideas I would've done for a sequel. This guy is gonna behave like a similar guy from Shiro Ninja Mayhem, but fit this game's art style.

I think I now understand why that construction vehicle company is called Caterpillar.

...and that's just the wheels for this boss.

If there's one thing I learned from looking at the graphics of NES Batman, it's that they put gray highlights with red shading to make metal look a little rusty.

I'll know if I did my job right when I get to actually making the level.

In my game, I programmed a robot to chop down trees in real time. Yes, I know what it looks like, but still, maybe I've gone too far in a few places.

...and I HAVE to specify "in my game". I'm not a monster.

Too much?

There are only so many ways to draw starbases, and all of them require a window into space. This one happens to also be a factory.

Concept art time!

Early on, Tiel had a backpack because in the fic she was originally created for, she was going on an adventure along with Rick. That's why I was kinda attached to her.

Someone might ask, "Why laser chainsaws?"

Others might ask, "Why are you just repurposing the old DemoBot sprites again?"

It just makes more sense for DemoBots to be using laser chainsaws in the Rainforest. They're built for any job with a helmet.
