Game
Rock Beyond Time
3 years ago

Well... this is awkward...


Yesterday, I released my new game, Rock Beyond Time. It took me a while to make. So, I had to advertise it. In the process, I put up a post on Dragonian's devlog that this game was released.

...and most of the traffic went to Dragonian.

...okay, then.

Then again, it's probably easier to gravitate toward a game obviously inspired by the Zelda franchise instead of a game inspired by relatively obscure SNES games that were admired by only those who've played it on the only system it released for. Then again, Secret of Mana and Illusion of Gaia were inspired by Zelda games, which is why I ended up playing them.

I can't tell you what to play. If you want to play Dragonian, play Dragonian. If you want to play Rock Beyond Time, play Rock Beyond Time. If you want to play The Other Phalanx, that's on the humorously-named NukeOTron Sucks Collection.

If you want me to join a Game Jam, though, throw me a line.

Anyway, you do what you want. I need to figure out what to do next. (No ninja stuff, though.) I'll probably do bugfixes if any bugs show up, though.

Next up

It's getting closer to being finished.

Even though the 2.5D gimmick was only for that one level, I see no reason to not use it for this boss fight.

I decided that the fourth button will be used for switching between using weapons, and not using them. Why? Because it works with the mouse's scroll wheel.

Also, you've got an indicator at the top-left if you've got the gun active or not.

Coming soon to another update.

Lemme get some work done with it first, then we'll talk.

I felt some mechanics were underutilized, so I'm making an expansion.

...more or less just a side quest and extra dungeon. No more than that here.

Coming who-knows-when.

I'm getting close in the rigging department. I might need to adjust how the shoulders work, but it's getting there.

Now going through the animation process. This could take a while.

It's kind of a wonder how Treasure managed to pull a front-facing boss moving sideways at least twice.

Welcome to Space.

...not much going on here, is there?

I realize some players just want to play the game and see the story, while others may actually want to use those revival items, so here's a little compromise for you all.

Also, yes, I NEED to put on that "Pro" flag everywhere.

That boss is now done, and implemented.

I can safely say I've completed half of the main game now, even though it's just the first three levels and the second-to-last.

Time to do something else.

I hope you appreciate what I go through for pointless details like this.

I don't plan on going this crazy too much, though.
