Belgrad: Curse of the Castle is almost done. The cinematics are in place. Controller support is taken into account for the control explanations. Certain secrets are taken care of.
…but now, I need original music.
(ahem) I said, I need music.
…okay, then. That’s pretty much what I’m working on now. I still would appreciate help, though.
All this work to get punched in the face.
A step-by-step process for bigger sprites.
GM Studio 1 works like Windows XP's Paint, but with nicer features. As such, even a lefty like me can learn to draw right-handed with a Line tool.
Here I am, still trying to push the limits. I'm pretty sure there's a shader for Mode 7 out there, but this is what I've been working with.
Also, because of limitations, red flashing floors generate force fields you can bump into.
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.
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...
Almost there...
There's gonna be a second driving section without walls later.
Testing out a tentacle...
I'm getting closer to my goal here.
All these rock piles are gonna loop indefinitely for now. My goal is to make the road widen, tighten, and move side-to-side with the walls.
...and replace the grassy floor with something more fruitcake-like.
This is the driving sequence in action.
I don't have any original music for that part, and I can imagine that passing-through-flags sound getting annoying after a while.
