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.

Still shaping out that junkyard.

The sky is a dirty green, the background is a painful quilt of grayness to draw, and the ground is still made of fruitcake.

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?

If you need a sciencey explanation for how a giant magnet can float, it's the same way cars float: little rapidly-spinning magnets.

It doesn't make much sense in reality, but I'm sticking with this story.

One part of me is telling me, "These weapons are way too big for Mag-Nia! Shrink 'em down to half-size!"

Meanwhile, another part of me is saying, "Wait, you can still use these for a more proper Seven Force-styled boss fight later on!"

Let's do both.

If you don't know what a junkyard looks like, you could end up with a street paved with fruitcake, walls made of allegedly compressed garbage, and broken cars.

Real junkyards aren't as interesting as Toy Story 3 and The Brave Little Toaster like to show.

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.

I'm feeling a bit more off than usual today.

Here, have some smaller weapons.

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.

More BG layers, more garbage.

Maybe I should throw in a few towers of cars into the background.

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.
