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.

Beware the front-facing DemoBots. They approach the summer home slowly, hoping to demolish it. It's nothing personal; it's just their job.

...but they didn't inform the Robot Maid. Demolition is messy business, and she can't let the house get messy.

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.

Despite all this work on the top-down segments, I'm not vibing with 'em.

...might as well send this into Bonus Stage purgatory, and make an additional platform stage.

Now, if I have enough motivation for Mode 7 stages, though...

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.

...so much for that zany scheme.

Let's see if I can do something else.

I realize that I don't need a fancy transition for Mag-Nia to use Seven Force-style weapons.

...but maybe I shouldn't use circles for the whip.

So, I'm working on the top-down sections. There are three of these things planned for this game.

The DemoBots have to be a little shorter for this perspective, and they're mostly headed downwards. So, hopefully, I won't have to draw so many GFX.

I've been working on a moving pulley that activates when you grapple to it. If it moves you into a solid block, you let go.

...now I've gotta figure out Mag-Nia and her amazing weapons.

Here. For reference.

For this one picture, they're either getting PS4'd, or they get faces.

I felt like I needed to punch up these level intros.

The silhouette should indicate what kind of level you're getting into. I've yet to implement the Top-Down or Mode 7 levels, so I've only got a silhouette for the main levels.
