Game
Dragonian: The Imbalance of Sierr






2 years ago

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


...yeah. I thought I lost these files, but I had them backed up on my computer. This means my old Tales of the Wind Fish story (a prototype story that led to Dragonian), my Elfling language guide, Tiel's Diary story, and an older dialogue script have been backed up now.

Anyway, let's show you the language. It's a stupid word-swap language, labeled WSL, but it may help you understand the lyrics of the first song in Rock Beyond Time.

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.

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.

This boss is done, more or less.

I'm gonna try to work in a different department.

Just because it's inspired by Seven Force doesn't mean it's gonna be a bunch of robots. Instead, Mag-Nia's gonna make her own weapons.

These GFX are probably gonna be used for masks and reference. I have plans for a sawblade form later.

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'm feeling a bit more off than usual today.

Here, have some smaller weapons.

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.

When I designed this character months ago, she was made to be a bitter rival to Pinafore.

Her name in development was Gun-NIA, but now it's Mag-Nia.

...also, I was watching Wonder Woman at the time. Is she too much?

Of course old-fashioned robots end up in the junkyard.

They aren't gonna be used in the convention level, so it's fitting here.

Also, the giant floating magnets and bulldozers don't discriminate. They harm all robots.
