Belgrad: Angels of Music

...this is Belgrad.


Hello. NukeOTron here.
You probably remember me for making that Dragonian game a while back. …well, here I am again, trying out some new things, like trying to bring back platform-adventure games.
THIS is Belgrad: Angels of Music. The intent was to make a series of these one-level games.
Here, you’ll play as Jason Belgrad, the Discount Slayer of the Supernatural. He may look like a detective, but don’t say it to his face. Here, you’ll investigate here and there, and try to figure out the mysterious disappearances in the Chenoweth Theater. …oh, and you’ll have to slay the Phantom.

This probably isn’t my best work, but it’s certainly something.

As a writer, you learn to just make stuff up. As a science-fiction writer, you justify the stuff you just make up.

"Derma" is related to "skin", and "myo" is related to "myoelectric prosthesis".

I got the keyboard and gamepad input-changing in here.

Try to keep track of the difference between using strings (for the labels on each key) and using actual variables (how the game interprets inputs).

When you don't know about copyright laws when it comes to fonts, you either take a chance, or make your own.

Of course, in the world of sprite art, that doesn't leave many options.

In case anyone forgot, robots explode.

So do robot maids.

Does anyone want sprite fonts? Here's a starter pack.

Good luck assembling it, and modify it any way you want.

Despite anything resembling better judgment, and this not going into any demos, I decided to implement a swinging mechanic.

I got it working. You can control the swing (loosely), and can stretch and retract the arm. It even adds a bit of momentum.

Two-level demo for Robot Maid P-NA-4 is here!

...but the game's still not in active development right now.

I know. It looks pretty much the same as before. I just needed the motivation to do more with it.

...and an excuse for all sorts of robots at a convention to be attacking Pinafore, specifically.

Something in the plan for this game will change. With any luck, it will be a change for the better.

Possible default protagonists, Charlie (guy with hat) and Bonnie (girl with dress). Using a similar palette, because I can.

I would alter the faces, but I like appeal, and without the pixel-noses, they'd look like chibis at that size.
