I’ve changed the header to something more… generic. Trust me. I’ll change it back later.
Also, I’ve disabled ratings since the game’s incomplete at the moment. …and trust me, it’s coming. I’m working on the last few levels. To keep you satisfied, though, I’ll try to give some updates as to how it’s going here and there.
…let’s start with a new screenshot, shall we?
Next up
Trying to do that Infinite Floor thing (technically, it's a trick of the camera), and I think it chugs.
Makes sense, since it's drawing on one surface over and over for each scanline, then putting that on another surface, which puts that on-screen.
Hmm...
Updated HUD, HP system, and other collectibles! (including the bunnies)
Robots fresh off the assembly line from the prosthetics factory.
I call the ones that crawl "Gwendy", after the dolls from Small Soldiers.
What kind of bad guys do you see at a prosthetics factory?
These Leg Gunners are part of the security system.
I could have a part where the factory builds robots for you to beat up, but they're gonna be humanoids. They'd probably be like skinless T-800s.
The only thing harder than animating a set of wheels is making it handle like a set of wheels.
...and making an infinite floor without resorting to the official 3D engine.
The First Two Bosses
This background full of conveyor belts might make it a bit more factory-like, but it's still ominous.
So, what's the secret to drawing a car?
1. Just draw the car from profile, back, and possibly front.
2. Dig out any Hot Wheels product for reference.
3. Use the reference to figure out how to draw those in-between angles.
There are a lot of robot arms in a prosthetics factory. They flail about, so don't get too close, or they'll hurt you.
First off, you can't rotate a background with draw_background_tiled. However, you can draw anything on a BIG surface, and a surface can be rotated and doubled up.
So, the infinite floor uses a surface, and now it's not chugging so hard. Look at the FPS.
