Game
Dragonian: The Imbalance of Sierr
10 years ago

Tired of climbing that Mountain?


Hello, again. For those of you new to the site, Dragonian is a Zelda-like game for Windows computers.

Anyway, the point is, there’s a certain dungeon near the end… and at the end of that dungeon, there’s a big, nasty boss. Since that particular dungeon is so frustrating, I’ve added a few things for your convenience so you only have to go through it once.

…namely, a save point, and the Fairy there actually doing something.

Also, I’d better note that I may consider making games for sale on GameJolt, so I’d better ask: What kinds of games that I make are worth selling?

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.

All that work doing research on the Amazon Rainforest as a level, and THIS is what I come up with?

...well, I'll change the tiles later. I want the ground to be more foresty, and that means working on a tileset.

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

As part of the game's canon, there's been an ongoing war in the Amazon Rainforest. It's a war between the loggers and the environmentalists.

That being said, these trees have been "shaved off" for in-universe and future gameplay reasons.

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.

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.

Sometimes, you have to design a character for one scene only.

...and yes, she has to look kinda like April O'Neil, but not quite.

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.

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

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

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.
