Belgrad: Curse of the Castle
10 years ago

Bosses are all done!


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.

Oh, no, not again.

At least it's just the player character, but still...

EDIT: It's just her collision box being different for the Hurt frames. Easy to fix. Her sprites all have different collision boxes to keep her ability to duck.

Importing again.

It may say there are 20 warnings, but 18 are about "__cam" and two are about "array_length_1d", related to ye olde depth system.

...well, I don't know if I should be worried about either at the moment.

How it started vs. How it's going.

The character-puppet thing ended up being the basis for the boss designs instead of the Robot Maid herself.

I could salvage it, but I'd think adding a mode where bosses fight each other is a bit too extra.

Yes, according to Game Maker, there IS a difference between randomise() and randomize(). randomize() gets you zero, guaranteed, with HTML5.

I would blame it on them, but I can adjust.

Playing around with the title is only the start of a title sequence.

Testing out a tentacle...

The HTML5 version was actually running buttery-smooth.

...and then it locked up on THIS screen for no apparent reason. 4th level. Even the music continued to play when I switched windows on this screen.

There may be limits to HTML5 I don't understand yet.

I did Attract Mode first.

She can pwn on her own for the first four mainline levels for 30 seconds each.

Oh, no. They're stuck. I'M stuck. The only thing that could be doing this within reason should be collision physics.

Pretty sure the GM Studio 1 build doesn't do this, but the current Game Maker build does.
