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?

Don't worry, I backed up the other one, but I'm going with this for the alien spacecraft. Part UFO, part retrofuturist rocket, and only three tentacles for the tripod look.

Well, finding glitches was bound to happen.

In this case, with a scrolling boss, the player's trapped on the left side of the screen until there's no solid block there.

I'd better fix that, THEN shrink the gap behind the boss.

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.

Back in the old days, you could just flash between these two frames to make dynamic lighting, to show something's flashing in front of her.

I'm just gonna use the other frame to indicate the lights are on. No flashing required.

...another fine mess you got yourself into.

I'd better stop sharing these cutscene moments. I'm almost there.

Do you know how hard it is to get THIS shot?

Like I said, I'm making level thumbnails for the Level Select screen. Also, this gives you a good idea how big the max health bar is.

I'm pretty sure I got the save feature working, though I don't know if three save files is acceptable.

Then again, the save features are for Casual Play only. Arcade and Caravan Modes don't let you save your game, for hopefully obvious reasons.

Here. I've got a trailer ready. (...assuming it loads.)

Now I've gotta shop it around, and upload it onto YouTube.

I guess I can show these things on April Fools day.

They are NOT going into the Robot Maid game, but they're still in the code.

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.
