Game
NukeOTron Sucks Collection
10 years ago

...even I can suck at game-making sometimes.


Hello. I’m NukeOTron, and I make video games.
However, due to reality getting in the way, I’m sorry to say that I’ll be on hiatus for a while. So, as a sendoff, I’m releasing the “NukeOTron Sucks Collection”, a bunch of games I personally made way before I ended up on GameJolt and made that Dragonian game everyone seems to like.
Trust me, I do want to make a sequel to Dragonian. I also want to make a platform game with excessive digitized graphics… and Staff of Laria someday.
I’ll be back, assuming I haven’t been deleted…

The hands have now been drawn.

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

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 arms are done.

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

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.

Meow.

Tigers are difficult to animate, especially since they have two joints for their hind legs.

Well, it kinda resembles a tiger.

Almost there...

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

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.

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

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.
