Shiro Ninja Mayhem

...and now, what I used to make Shiro Ninja Mayhem, for some reason.


Due to some unusual demand, Here's some of the raw graphics and audio from Shiro Ninja Mayhem.
...technically it's from a build labeled Shiro Ninja Mayhem 2, but that never came to be. All that build had going for it was a couple extra moves, and that's it.

Also, if you wonder why some graphics are broken up, well, that's a trade secret. Actually, it's for layering/reference purposes. It made more sense in-game.

...this ought to keep the ninja fans happy.

I probably should continue work on the final boss, but I wanted to show you what else I've been working on with this game.

Title menus are really important for home releases, and Game Overs are for less casual gamers.

Almost there...

Thankfully, the fingers can be flipped around for the opposite direction.

It doesn't matter if you're drawing in pixels, by hand, or with polygons. Hands are hard to draw, period.

The arms are done.

Now, let's see if adding wings is too much...

I forgot I designed the auctioneer recently. If there are robot maids, there are robot butlers, too.

...and yes, I did get inspiration from Jughead. What was your first clue?

There. Another hand angle. It shouldn't have taken me this long, but this isn't my day job.

If I know what I'm doing, I can flip most of that hand, easily.

I want to do a magic trick that can morph the polygons from one position to the next. I'm doing the keyframes first, then I'll make them automatically do in-betweens with math.

Drawing fingers in perspective is hard, but it'll be worth the effort.

Behold, blending vertex positions!

Old position + ((number between 0 and 1) * the difference between the old and new position)

This took so much math, it hurts. ...not the CPU, but it sure hurts me to do.

...and I've got four more angles to do this with.

The hands have now been drawn.

Now, I'd better program something that does the math for me to do that polygon-blending trick.

There. The hand is drawn.

...now I've got four more angles for this hand to be drawn in, then I'll copy-paste and mirror them for the other hand.

Also, I've added a timer for scoring and convention reasons.
