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.

As a writer, you learn to just make stuff up. As a science-fiction writer, you justify the stuff you just make up.

"Derma" is related to "skin", and "myo" is related to "myoelectric prosthesis".

Two-level demo for Robot Maid P-NA-4 is here!

...but the game's still not in active development right now.

I felt some mechanics were underutilized, so I'm making an expansion.

...more or less just a side quest and extra dungeon. No more than that here.

Coming who-knows-when.

What a bunch of clowns.

Why, yes, programming an elephant IS hard. Making its eyes blue is a lot easier, but I'm not doing that.

I also had to make sure it's a robot elephant, specifically, because this is a robot circus, and it's unethical to use real elephants.

A rather interesting thing I forgot about...

First you draw parts, then program a rig for animation.

I need to work on the "What does this guy actually do" part.

Part of the expansion involves a cute little fight right here. ...in space for no apparent reason.

...too bad it won't be as epic as the final boss, but still...

This should help speed up the process.

...no guarantees, but until I have an official level-select menu, this'll do.

He's coming back. ...but just this once.
