The title says it all. Each and every major boss for Belgrad: Curse of the Castle is done. Now, I’m working on adding those good little story bits. Perhaps the game will take a few more weeks instead of months to finish. …maybe. Don’t count all your chickens just yet.
…and for those of who are wondering what Belgrad: Curse of the Castle is, it’s a Metroidvania set in a castle, and quite clearly “borrows” elements from Castlevania. …the good ones, mostly.
Screenshots for Belgrad: Curse of the Castle
I guess I can show these things on April Fools day.
They are NOT going into the Robot Maid game, but they're still in the code.
Don't worry, I backed up the other one, but I'm going with this for the alien spacecraft. Part UFO, part retrofuturist rocket, and only three tentacles for the tripod look.
Back in the old days, you could just flash between these two frames to make dynamic lighting, to show something's flashing in front of her.
I'm just gonna use the other frame to indicate the lights are on. No flashing required.
Testing out a tentacle...
"Sir, is the Super Scaler effect really necessary for a cutscene like this?"
"I coded it, didn't I?"
If you think YOU're asking "Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet?" then just imagine how I feel every time I have to add little details and bug fixes.
...I'd better make a trailer or pitch reel.
I'm pretty sure I got the save feature working, though I don't know if three save files is acceptable.
Then again, the save features are for Casual Play only. Arcade and Caravan Modes don't let you save your game, for hopefully obvious reasons.
Well, finding glitches was bound to happen.
In this case, with a scrolling boss, the player's trapped on the left side of the screen until there's no solid block there.
I'd better fix that, THEN shrink the gap behind the boss.
...another fine mess you got yourself into.
I'd better stop sharing these cutscene moments. I'm almost there.
