Next up
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.
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.
More BG layers, more garbage.
Maybe I should throw in a few towers of cars into the background.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Well, I was looking through some old files, and found some cool stuff.
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.
