Found any bugs yet?


Hi. I've been fixing up Rock Beyond Time and polishing it up before I release another build on the 16th. In order for me to find the bugs, I have to play it, and try out everything. So, here's some interesting bugs that the Early Access build has:

  1. If Myles holds an Ice Cube, and Susan un-summons it, Susan will slide downwards. This is an oversight from not including a "with", to indicate that one of the special effects objects goes downward.

  2. Myles' bubbles don't slow down. They did in earlier builds, but it was lost when I was trying to recode it. This is why I made so many backups.

  3. The flour can overwrite a thank-you note. Just an oversight.

  4. Hiro can animate weirdly when music is playing in the barn. Another oversight.

Have you found any bugs yet? I'm fixing them up as I go along, as well as adding all the necessary polish before I feel comfortable releasing it. You know, realigning text, putting in musical cues, taking care of the little bugs, adding better controller support, and so on.

Also, do you think this game should be harder? I feel the enemies' Defense stats are right, but maybe the Attack stats aren't. Balance is a tricky thing.

Next up

No, this is not the final boss. This is the boss of the last mainline level. There's a difference.

Also, I'm so glad I can pull off stuff like this. There'll be two more forms, though.

The next update may be full of bugs.

...moths, mostly.

So it begins.

It doesn't help that the three forms share parts, but not body arrangements, but nobody's perfect.

...hopefully, people will see this guy as an homage, and not as infringement.

Too much?

There are only so many ways to draw starbases, and all of them require a window into space. This one happens to also be a factory.

This is literally one of the first cutscenes, after the first level. Like I said, I'd rather do Sega CD-style cutscenes, but this will do.

...it's also the most complete-looking cutscene right now. I thought you'd like a look.

I realize some players just want to play the game and see the story, while others may actually want to use those revival items, so here's a little compromise for you all.

Also, yes, I NEED to put on that "Pro" flag everywhere.

A rather interesting thing I forgot about...

I was considering releasing the expansion today, but then I found a lot of bugs I should've spotted in the original build, and I made the minimap do extra stuff for said expansion.

Don't worry, it'll be out by tomorrow night.

Meow.

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

Well, it kinda resembles a tiger.

Just a reminder. It's coming on the 16th, assuming nothing goes wrong.
