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.

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.

I probably should continue work on the final boss, but I wanted to show you what else I've been working on with this game.

Title menus are really important for home releases, and Game Overs are for less casual gamers.

Well, I was looking through some old files, and found some cool stuff.

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?

The arms are done.

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

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.

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.

There. Another hand angle. It shouldn't have taken me this long, but this isn't my day job.

If I know what I'm doing, I can flip most of that hand, easily.

Almost there...

Thankfully, the fingers can be flipped around for the opposite direction.

The hands have now been drawn.

Now, I'd better program something that does the math for me to do that polygon-blending trick.
